The only episodes pre-Sundae Muddy Sundae that are complete trash are  Evil Dread and  No One Eggspects the Spanish Oppostion. All the other episodes before SMS I would say are either good, solid or mediocre, Gwen and Courtney's friendship was good (even if they acted inconsistent at times), Mal's storyline was cool, if a bit poorly executed. I don't care what you haters say, Mal has style. Some of the challenges were cool (in particular the food eating and Blue Harvest Moon ones), Alejandro getting owned by Mal was satsfying (it's about time the Villain Sue met his match), Alejandro and Heather were surprisingly too cute at times (Al defending his girl when Jose' bad mouth and them acting lovey dovey in the finale made me go "awwww"), Duncan not making the final five again.
