My favorite thing about the season is probably Courtney and Scott as most everyone mentioned. I'm a sucker for opposites attract and this couple just has a hilarious dynamic to me. It just cracks me up that elite, smug, future politician and lawyer Courtney falls for who a guy who eats dirt. Amazing.

Another favorite thing? Chris in prison at the start of the episode. It's nice to see him get some karma xD Honestly I really enjoy that first episode..till the end. I mean it's not great, but it does have a lot of fun dynamics going on. Jo really shines and it makes her early elimination even more disappointing; out of all the ROTI characters she had the best interactions with the new cast for the most part. I also really enjoyed Gwen being called out.

Of course my least favorite thing is probably just the way the characters are either terrible (final two) or worsened. Courtney is so close to being a more likable character, but that gets tossed away to make her an easy boot and give us one of the worst episodes. Gwen is not sympathetic to me and frankly comes off as a hypocrite and just too done to be someone I can root for. Even Sam leaves this season worse for being in it. I don't know, the first episode was kind of fun with the dynamics that it's disappointing that they didn't exploring the meeting of the new casts more.

But the worst thing to me? How they handled Lindsay. Before, she was a character who was really trying. Sure she wasn't a genius, but she took more initiative, believed in herself, and tried more than ever. I mean in WT she almost won the Paris challenge single handedly. So for her to be somebody to just give up is heartbreaking (not to mention she's such a fun character with great interactions earlier, making the Heroes just a less fun team afterward).
