I'd agree that Rivals 1 is better than the grade it was given and a really good season imo.
Exes 2 was a great season and easily one of the best of this era. After thinking on it, it's probably the best of the era with only Cutthroat being close to it.
Cutthroat wasn't bad. The missions were awesome. It was just the cast was a bit lackluster. I liked the fact that there was a lot of Rookies but too many of the boring ones and not enough of the interesting ones like Mike, Ashley, Erika, Baya, KellyAnne, etc. the FM2 cast was horrible only like 3 good cast members worth a ****. Other than that the Cutthroat theme was good. I hated the voting and Gulag name too.
thats like saying one shit stinks less than another.
Oh and I'd give Cutthroat a B+, great missions/eliminations, just had a lot of filler castmembers, but man Abe, Camila, Cara, Laurel, Brad, Tori, Ty, Katie, Easy, Sarah, Tyler all added something big/great to the season.

Cutthroat - A- (Good concept, good winners [a very unpopular opinion, but I stand by it], CT manhandling Johnny)
Rivals - C (Everything about the final 4 teams on each side was terrible except Kenny, Cara Maria and Laurel. And the worst winners ever)
Battle of the Exes - B- (Would have been an A, but the worst team wins out of the final 3)
Battle of the Seasons - C+ (Mostly because of what it could have been)
Rivals 2 - B+ (Good winners, but the most fabricated rivalries ever just to bring back some people. And Sarah got screwed)
Free Agents - B (It wasn't really an individual game as it advertised)
Battle of the Exes 2 - A- (Battle of the ex-iled was nonsense, but Sarah screwing Johnny over is one of the greatest moments in recent Challenge memory. And Theresa knocking out that ***** Nany)

Explosions’ Cory & Skeleton’s Tony make their debut as the game takes on a new twist of partnering the alums with their relatives. Unfortunately, an opportunity to introduce dynamic new personalities into the game is wasted as the bloodlines are barely introduced & are mostly there to prop up their more established kin. Abram is brought in as a replacement & screws up his girlfriend’s plan to “flirt her little butt off” to increase her chances at a win with Thomas of all people. Cory finds his inner boy toy when he finds himself in purely physical dalliance with Aneesa. Bananas gets ejected late in the game by his sworn enemy Cara Maria. Jenna & her cousin Brianna do a 180 from a terrible start & shock everyone with their impressive performances in the second half of the season. Aneesa is the last to be sent home for the fourth time in Challenge history & kills her best shot at victory. Very weak challenges & elimination rounds help to further mar what could have been a great entry in the series. High Point- Abram gives this chapter a much-needed shot of adrenaline with his classic madman rants & histrionics upon discovering Cara Maria’s infidelity. KellyAnne makes a very welcome return after a 7-year absence & proves she still has the crazy spunkiness & determination she always did. These two prove the fact that old school vets can still bring the drama & can more than keep up with their younger counterparts. Low Point- More random, pointless AYTO players are thrust upon us & continue to steal spots that should be reserved for actual RW, RR & FM alumni. Tony suffers a bad fall into the water & is forced to leave the game with his brother Shane, thus robbing the viewers of more scummy bathroom hookups, confusing arguments with drunk Latinas & fierce, Vogue-inspired sobriety tests. After 6 years of crying, whining & horrible dye jobs, Cara Maria is finally awarded a win with her obnoxious cousin who looks as creepy & skeevy as the prisoners he is paid to guard in real life. Historical Moment- For the first time in the show’s history, the final challenge takes place in the heart of a city as the gritty streets of Berlin host the three team’s last grueling test. B
This season was not good, glad Cara Maria got the win though, her transformation from her first season until now is definitely impressive. You know when she comes to these things now she is there to win. On a better note, just saw on mtv that Rivals 3 is airing in May, alot sooner than I expected considering Bloodlines literally just ended. Hopefully Rivals 3 is more entertaining because this season was lackluster to say the least.
I couldn't give any season less than a C-, even shitty ones like The Island or Duel 2. Bloodlines was kinda boring at times, but the return of KA & Cory's debut elevated it for me.
Rivals an A+, ha thats almost cute enough to be funny. Almost.
Honestly that season deserves a C at best.
****, FA is NOT a B+ whatsoever, it was such a boring season ! even competition wise it was boring. I would give it a C-
Rivals 2 was pretty good imo. I would give it a B+ just for the drama.
Bye *****.
I'd agree that Rivals 1 is better than the grade it was given and a really good season imo.

You can see yourself out to the Flavor of Love message board, they're in desperate need of your classiness there.
This is how I'd grade the last few seasons:
Rivals - B+
Exes - C
Seasons - B-
Rivals 2 - A-
Free Agents - C+
Exes 2 - B
Mine would be:
Rivals 1: B
Exes 1: D-
Seasons 2: C
Rivals 2: D+
FA: C
Exes 2: A
Cutthroat B-
Rivals A
Exes C+ (Even though it got the highest ratings)
Seasons B+
Rivals 2 B
Free Agents C-
Exes 2 A-
Rivals 2 was better than Exes 1.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
My ranking
Cutthroat- C+
Rivals- A-
Battle of the Exes- A-
Battle of the Seasons- B-
Rivals II- B+
Free Agents- C+
Battle of the Exes II- B+

Meanie.
I miss this thread. Dylan, you should do recaps for Bloodlines!
Episode recaps would be fun! I may consider that.
Battle of the Bloodlines

B? Nah. This is at most a D. This season was very lackluster as ****. Bottom-Tier for sure.
I just realized (remembered?) this thread was a thing...
Some of y'all know A+ ain't a grade, am I right?
This season was not good, glad Cara Maria got the win though, her transformation from her first season until now is definitely impressive. You know when she comes to these things now she is there to win. On a better note, just saw on mtv that Rivals 3 is airing in May, alot sooner than I expected considering Bloodlines literally just ended.
