I'm going to make a #bold pick and say that Ridonculous Race might be my favorite? Maybe it was the excitement of a 26 episodes season or a refreshing format, but I was attached to pretty much every character thanks to so much intrateam development. The faster pacing and constant change of scenery helped a lot, too, but I think on the whole, I loved how unpredictable it was. I felt like with ROTI–Pahkitew, it was easy to tell who the endgamers would be without spoilers due to the smaller casts, and it doesn't really take a smart one to watch the first 2/5 or so of TDI/TDWT and know Heather's making the finale. Sure, conceptually, it was obvious that Jacques/Josee brought most of the inter-team tension, meaning they'd likely make the endgame, but if you asked me who I thought the final two teams would be halfway into the season, I'd have given you an incredibly wrong answer. Honorable mentions to TDWT and TDI in that order; TDWT is the best edition of "gen 1" character dynamics and TDI has a magic allure that's hard to capture anywhere else.
