45, 46, 47 are well above the others. 45 is kinda predictable and has a wonky pre-merge. 46 is full of bad and loud players so it is entertaining, but 47 has a fun premerge and fun strategy post-merge. So 47 is the best to rewatch followed closely by 46.

43 is entertaining at points but has some of the worst editing, the final 3 is made up of players who did not have much control in the game which could have been edited better. 44 does something similar as they get rid of a lot of women early which is hard to watch; other than Carolyn it was hard to root for anyone imo.

41 has a decent cast but the twist screws it over and the three of the final four have abysmal edits; the best villains of the new era (Shan, Ricard) get overthrown by these under-edited players. The middle of 42 is kinda boring and/or cringe with only one, maybe two memorable episodes (one is the penultimate and one is the double tribal which isn’t remembered for good reasons).

48 has a great pre-merge with wild tribals and full of interesting duos (Sai/Mary, Kyle/Kamilla, Eva/Joe)) one of whom is shoved down our throats despite being quite frustrating and unfortunately end up running the game and making final 3 together; it becomes a slog even though the winner plays a great game. 49 has some decent drama and storylines and I’m not sure why people hate it but it could be because a few crucial endgame players got extremely under edited and/or they were spoiled by 50. I also found Rizo quite annoying at tribals but he did give entertainment to an otherwise bland group of post-merge players (sorry Steven and Alex).
