Island: I'm torn between picking Phobia Factor or The Wheel Of Misfortunate. I love how Island sort of parodied other reality shows, especially with those early challenges. They're all very iconic challenges, and like how this one showcases the characters individually, but also psychological torturing. As a Fear Factor parody, it could have easily been a dares challenge but I like how they went with it. Wheel of Misfortunate isn't a parody, but I think is a great way to officially start the merge; a free for all that isn't just about finishing first, but outlasting everyone in the hardest tasks. My favorites being the eels, poison ivy spa treatment, new age music, and the log rolling competition. (I also have a strange love of Paintball Deer Hunt; I like the spin they put on what would have been a typical paintball match. I'm also a sucker for challenges involving costumes).

Action: I'm leaning towards the Prehistoric Movie Genre challenge for some reason. It maybe because the episode felt like a big deal at the time. TLDR; Canada got delays in Action episodes as it waited for America to catch up. Ocean's was the last episode to be know before they were caught up. I just love the aesthetic and costumes; I'm also a fan of one on one duels from teams for some reason.

I'm also kind of leaning to the Robbery Genre challenge; it was a lot of fun and the scene of going through sets is iconic. The Fairytale Genre challenge is also fun with a good aesthetic for the most part. I like the idea of the Animal Buddy Genre challenge, but wasn't a fan of the execution. It also has probably my favorite final challenge (but not finale), with it feeling really grand in scope by showcasing every genre.

World Tour: So maybe I'm weird but...I'm not too big on WT challenges. Oops. I just don't feel like a lot of them showcased the unique locations as well, especially early on. Egypt was good, but they were hardly in Japan. Idk, I guess I enjoyed RR's take on world locations better. But I have to say I love '''Niarga Falls wedding challenge. '''It's just a lot of fun pairings and lend itself well to jokes. (Which is probably why I'm using it again in Genesis...)

ROTI: The horror challenge! I mean I'm biased because Izzy, but it's also just a lot of fun locations and atmosphere. The 666 gravestone in a pet cemetery is great. I like the attempt at pardoying reality shows again with the fashion show and enjoy the snowforts and dangerous snowballs in the ice challenge.

All-Stars: Not a fan of most; I like the ideas of some if not the execution like a race to build a sundae and eat it or a giant pancake obstacle course. But I have to go with the blue moon challenge, for just being a lot of fun and a little trippy.

PI: I actually really like the final three challenge; it's a neat idea for the finalists to test each other and see what they try to do to test each other or play to their strengths. I read a great fic that used a different final three and did a lot of fun with it. It's alright in canon though. I'll go with the dueling challenge or the greased pig relay. I love the twists they add to pretty solid challenge concepts.

RR: I love the atmosphere of the Romania challenge, but added in a little traditional culture with the gymnastics challenge. Finland's sauna and rock and roll challenge were great, along with the Vegas challenge (I love the magic trick challenge to death) and the Mexico challenge was a lot of fun too! I think I'm leaning between Finland and Romania!

Bonus, Fanfictions: (I feel like I could/should have, but I can't remember all challenges from every fic :p)
 * The Legend of Total Drama Island: I love the spin of the classic Wheel of Misfortunate by making it themed around Hercules 13 Labors! It was very creative, inspired, fun, and educational.
 * Total Drama: Superstar Showdown: The wedding challenge is one of my fave chapters/challenges, but it's been done. The Loved Ones challenge was a lot of fun, mostly for the loved ones, but I also really enjoy the finale being a race with obstacles presented by the other merging contestants.
 * Total Drama Frozen: The two finalist challenges; the train with tests revolving around eliminated contestants was a lot of fun, and I just love the motif of the delivering presents to next seasons competitors with your individual support section.
 * Total Drama Tides: I'm going with either the captains tribute or the loved ones challenge; the loved ones actually having to compete and break their bestie out of jail was fun, sweet and surprisingly intense. Floria's contests and the treasure hunt maybe faves as well though.
 * Total Drama: Paradise Falls: The Mario or Nario Bros obstacle course. It's a mario themed obstacle course with costumes, what's not to love?
 * Total Drama: Paradise Beach: the final 8 challenge, where everyone must pair together to past a test that personally challenges them stands out in my mind.
