I had a long reply set up and it decided to not post it :(

Let's try this again...

TDWT is 4th partially due to circumstances - I love all four of the top seasons and unfortunately one of them had to fall into 4th. Maybe I'm slightly influenced by the fact that TDI is a bit of a nostalgia bomb at this point, that I think TDA deserves more credit, and that my favorite season, TDRR, also is a worldwide competition. There's not much separating the four of them in all honesty as I believe they all have their aspects that they do the best and worst of the four.

If I had to my biggest gripe about TDWT it would be the elimination order. Not in the sense that it has bad characters but in the sense that their interactions can get a bit stale. Once they get to Australia you have AleHeather, Coderra, the love triangle, and Owen. They fortunately still do interact with other contestants but is definitely the main focus. The final four being what it was compounded the issue a bit, and the finale meant it didn't end on a strong note. The episodes as a whole down the stretch definitely weren't bad, they just... weren't as good.

As for the individual episodes... that's a lot to go through. I've actually been thinking about maybe at some point going through the series and posting short reviews on my wall, but I've been lazy and now it might be hard to fit it in - I'm going on vacation in about a week, will be on that for a week, and then a week after I get back I start college again. Posting reviews should be doable during college though so maybe in a few weeks I'll start it up.
