Finished the first 5 eps, the season is kinda weird and I'm not huge fan mostly because it tries to be so humor-heavy and lacks some direction... for now. Egyptan Part 2 was good, and so was Broadaway, Yukon was decent, Japan was alright, the premiere was fine...? The Aftermath was sweet. :)
UPDATE: Slap Slap was amazing, the Amazon episode was pretty great, the Paris one was good mostly due to Sierra, Newfoundland was... alright. Jamica was DECNET+.
UPDATE II: The Second Aftermath + London were pretty solid minus episode I guess. Greece's Pieces was pure gold, and the Ex-Files was also really really good <3 Picnic at Hanging Dork was pretty solid, but not as hilarious as I remember it. might rewatch it doe. Sweden Sour was really great :)) Aftermayhem was decent, but a weaker aftermath than the last two.
Fourth Update: Niagra episode was pretty great, got decent laughs. China was excellent, had many laughs and pretty dramatic. :D Africa was nothing to brag but it was also not as bad as I though. Rapa and Drumheller were really great episodes each. Hawaiian Style was a fun aftermath, and the last two episodes were excellent, especially the Planes, Trains, thingy, it was perfect. The finale was hilarious and dramatic but sadly it the ending was a bit too much.

OVERALL:
Dislike:
18. Ezekiel - He was above DJ through most of the season but after destroying Heather's millions dollars I was like *no*
17. DJ - Yeah sadly I barely care for him anymore because he had a really annoying plot that lasted way too much time only for him to get eliminated in a super cheesy way, and I don't like talking about it.
Neutral:
16. Lindsay - She had some funny moments but just as many as her un-funny moments and I stopped being interested at her at some point.
15. Izzy - ? ? ?
14. Bridgette - She was decent at the aftermaths, but really didn't do anything noteworthy in the contest itself, other than kissing Alejandro.
13. Leshawna - Mostly remained the same and had some fun moments but nothing particulary good.
12. Cody - Would have been way lower if it weren't for the last few episodes where he kind of shined, otherwise a complete non-entity in the season.
Like:
11. Harold - Was kind of a a mixed bag throughout the contest, but hilarious in the aftermaths. BABY! is great <333 his admiration for Cody <333
10. Gwen - Was mostly in the background but I actually enjoyed her friendship with Courtney this season, sadly I just kind lost hope for her when she started being a bitch to her without really apologyzing.
9. Noah - Had few lines each ep., nothing to write home about but he was good this season, also Nowen :)
8. Tyler - Like Noah, I don't get why the fans are losing it with these two but he did fine this season for sure, don't love Lyler at all but they were cute at times, and Tyler got few chuckles out of me.
7. Blaineley - She was DEFINITELY an amazing catalyst for drama in her short time, and she was hilarious in China with her alliance-offers, and also her elimination rant. Sadly it didn't lasted two long but she'll be missed! :( BRING BACK BLAINELEY!
Love:
6. Duncan - Much improvment from last season, haha, he was hilarious and great drama-maker, and I enjoyed his role in the Love Triangle, and while he was an ass to Courtney, I truly think Duncan is the biggest reason TDWT is a remained legacy till this day, before him the season was too comedy-heavy and he definitely spiced it up.
5. Owen - Owen was freakin' adorobale this season <3 His fear of flying and his friendship with Noah were all good, but I actually think he got much better as soon as Noah voted out, being a lone man on his team was a great role for him we never saw Owen as, and his interactions with Duncan, Alejandro, and Blaineley were fantastic.
4. Alejandro - Al's an interesting case. On the one hand, the guy was THE perfect strategist of TD, on the other hand, he was a bit too much of a villain-stu. I enjoyed his interactions with Heather obv, and with several other characters such as Duncan, Courtney, and Owen. It's hard to pinpoint what exactly I liked about him, but it was mostly his strategy and arch-villain status and sneaky persona, y'know? Also whenever we saw of his vulnerable side was pretty great. He was a solid character, just lacked some more human-traits to like him. I think he really improved later on in the series but for this season Ill just say he was a good villain with great interactions, but nothing too funny or unique about him.
3. Courtney - MY GIRL COURT <3 Anywhoosers Courtney got ignored by the the writers for a good first half of the season where she mostly just a giddy girl who gets along with Gwen and is definitely not on par with her TDI/TDA-selves. Luckily Duncan cheated on her which in return give us the craziest Courtney we have ever seen and some of the great Courtney-moments/lines ever produced ("YOU DON'T GET TO CHEER!!!", "I HATE YOU!!!!!!!"), lmao. Courtney, in the love triangle saga goes sooooo mental in such a realistic and rootable way that it's hard not to love her, I totally was on her side and thought she was hilarious this entire plot through. Sadly once the merge hit she was mostly just into Al which was still hilarious because it let her conflict with Heather (lol) but then she also got eliminated. Oh well, she would have been in the Favorites-section had she wasn't so minor in the first half of the season. :P What a legacy.
Favorites:
2. Sierra - Sierra remained a consistent #1 through most of the season right up until Heather snatched it away. I don't have much to say other than that Sierra is freakin' hilarious, while yeah she can be a bit too much at times, her love and admiration for Cody and her willing to do ANYTHING for him is so freakin' hilarious to watch. Her few rage outbursts are great but I think one huge bonus for Sierra's character is her voice, her voice is just really excellent. Everything from her friendship/conflict with Heather, her hate for Gwen and anybody who dares doing wrong to Cody... she's just really great. I also like how she accepts that she and Cody are "more than just friends" at the end. Also her blowing up the plane and suddenly hating Chris near the end <3
1. Heather - Was #2 for the first 24 episodes but the last two eps sealed the deal <333333. Anyways I don't know what to say about Heather this season other than that she was just a really rootable force and still remains this way in every re-watch. She gains character develeopment this time around obviously and it's very fun to watch. Her being the most hated person on the team to sneaking under the radar to her relationship with Alejandro to finally defeating him and becoming the hero of the season... while still remaining mostly intact and having the "Mean Girl" attitude. I don't think she was as great as TDI or maybe even funny as TDA but it was definitely her most rootable season and satisfying.
