It definitely has the good, the bad, and the forgettable. I like breaking things into quarters as well.

The first quarter was not a good start to the season. The first 2 episodes were not the strongest openers, and we saw the derailment of Gidgette. And then we had the weird breakup of Gwent, which was painful to watch because of how far they had to derail Trent to make this breakup happen.

Nothing happened in Episodes 8-13, outside of the contrived storypoint of everyone hating Leshawna, and that was overly contrived, and no drama really came out of it. We also had the predictable Gaffer wining streak/Grip losing streak.

Things definitely got better within the third quarter. Things were getting exciting for the first time, and the cast was interesting at this point.

I just say that I do not care for the last quarter. Owen returning was the dumbest move, especially because nothing came out of it. I definitely did not want Beth and Duncan to be the final 2 either (I don't think most wanted them to be the finale).

Thank you so much. There will definitely be more.
