Rank over time

[Mister Ham]

When I was younger I used to love certain Endurance teams and now when I rewatch episodes I cannot stand them! Rank your past favorite teams from Endurance 3, and then your current favorite teams here!

Past
1. Yellow
2. Brown
3. Green
4. Purple
5. Blue
6. Red
7. Gray
8. Orange


Present
1. Yellow
2. Green
3. Purple
4. Brown
5. Red
6. Orange
7. Blue
8. Gray

My first time watching I loved Yellow and Brown and that was really about it. Watching it again I realized how awesome Green was and that Purple did try to even the playing field quite a few times. I never understood the hype about Gray though. Never will I understand why people liked them. Chris was a liar and instead of being nice to Bryannah after betraying her, he kept trying to get rid of them. Season three just makes me really sad, every time things got better for Yellow, something bad would happen.

[amplify26]

This isn't a formal list, but before, I loved Yellow, liked Gray, and was indifferent towards everybody else, but I disliked Orange.
So my list looks like:

1. Yellow
2. Gray
3. Green/Blue/Purple/Brown
4. Red--I don't know, I just feel like they were kind of bland.
5. Orange

These days, my list kind of looks like this.

1. Yellow--duh.
2. Green--I like Alex, especially how she appreciated the rain: "It's raining, it's giving me strength!" Reminds me of Chelsea in "Waterlogged". I wished they would go further.
3. Purple/Brown--I sort of symphasized with Brown, and Purple was a decent team all around. Not as bad as Orange or as sneaky as Gray. Might have to rewatch just to make sure.
4. Red/Gray--I can understand why people would not like Gray, but them winning >>> Orange Team winning, right? Red was just meh; I don't know, but I just think they wouldn't go too far or were particularly likeable.
5. Blue--just because of how negative Willa was to Antonio.
6. Orange--again, duh. But Nicole did spare Yellow in the final four, so...it might change with a rewatch or two.

When I was younger (thinking back many years to when I first watched E3), my list probably went along the lines of...

1. Green
2. Yellow
3. Gray
4. Purple
5. Brown
6. Orange
7. Red
8. Blue

Now it goes like...

1. Green
2. Yellow
3. Purple
4. Red
5. Blue
6. Brown
7. Orange
8. Gray

I didn't like Chris and Lindi on the show. I just really, really thought they had a smug attitude about them. Maybe it was just the editing, I don't know. Of course, I love Green and Yellow. Bjorn and Alex are one of my all-time favorite Endurance teams. I liked Purple too and don't put them in the same category as Orange and Gray. Red team seemed really cool too, mainly from reading the boards while the show was airing. Blue entertained me so much. Willa was insane. And Brown is just, eh to me. Tom was entertaining and I do like Vanetta but they kind of sucked.

[Miko]

Past:
1. Green
2. Yellow
3. Purple (Because Sarah was cute!)
4. Grey
5. Brown (Would have been up higher, but I still hate their decision they made with that one challenge, that they turned the tables and betrayed Yellow and Green.
6. Blue
7. Red
8. Orange

Now:
1. Green
2. Yellow
3. Purple
4. Red
5. Grey
6. Orange (You have to admit that the season would'nt be as entertaining without Nicole!)
7. Brown
8. Blue (Didn't see enough of them, but they seem awesome!)

[amplify26]

After rewatching E3 again...

1. Yellow: I don't think I have anything more to say that hasn't been said here. So, I'll say this...I love them.
2. Green: I looooooved Alex during her time on E3; she was so upbeat and strong. Bjorn was just there, but looked like a cool guy. If only they made it further...
3. Purple: Nothing bad to say about them! Reece and Sarah looked like cool kids who are quite strong.
4. Gray: It's kind of hard putting them up here, especially after re-watching and noting Chris low-key manipulate Bryanah to get Lindi and to stay in the game. But they were quite the team to beat, and didn't fight amongst themselves. And they're kind of the lesser of the evils to follow...
5. Blue: Willa was absolutely irrational in how she treated Antonio, but based off her audition tape, I think she would've been just fine had she either got along with Antonio or got a different partner. Antonio, however, was a great guy and didn't deserve to go out the way he did. He was so nice and determined!
6. Red: Despite being part of the same alliance with Orange, Purple, and Gray, they were just "there" in the grand scheme of things. They did save Yellow in "Bagging on You", however.
7. Brown: I don't know...it's mainly because of Vanetta. Tom was a great guy, but I think they were weighed down a lot, like Shep and Calley on E2. They also didn't seem too interesting to begin with...
8. Orange: Honestly, my feelings on Nicole remain. I didn't really like how she gunned for Bryanah right from the start and was nasty towards her own partner. Demian was okay, but got led a lot; as Monroe mentioned, he could be quite gullible. 

[multiyapples]

I badly wanted Yellow to win it all that season as a child and still wish they did. This Yellow Team will always be my favorite team on Endurance. I wish Alex and Tom had stayed on longer. I loved Antonio and felt bad for him that he and Willa didn't get along even though he put himself in that situation if I remember correctly. I would've loved to have seen more of Marshall, Brandon, Eleanor, and Taylor. The way Demian and Nicole was portrayed made me feel sorry for him.

[andherecomestherain]

Not sure how I would have ranked them when it originally aired but currently--

1. Yellow- my favorite team this season, without question. Loved their journey, and to this day I think they should have won.

2. Orange- I'm definitely in the minority here haha. were they horrible together? Yes, they definitely were. Were they a strong team? Not really. Physically, they were mediocre and probably didn't deserve a second place finish. But.... they were SO d**n entertaining. I felt bad for Damian because he looked so miserable all the time lol, but Nicole will forever be one of my favorite reality show villains haha. Seriously, she was iconic. Her and Monroe from the yellow team were hands down the two most memorable cast members this season. Both of them are so quotable! 

3. Brown (is this color even Brown?? Lol) - I wanted them to do so well but as the competition went on, I started to like them less and less. Although I liked her personality, I got extremely frustrated with Vanetta's laziness and lack of commitment to pretty much everything (she would give up so easily) and just plain bad decision making. Tom I think was decent with the physical challenges but he also made some very naive decisions too. He was very gullible and was easily manipulated by others, which made me frustrated. I wanted to see them do well but it became pretty apparent that they lacked the physical and mental skills to make it any further than they did.

4. Purple- They were good in the physical challenges but overall I was kinda neutral with them. They were both very boring and uninteresting, and Sarah, in particular, I didn't like at all. She seemed snarky and cliquey and unfriendly if you weren't popular. She was literally always talking smack about others.

5. Green- I suppose they could have been a really good team, but they got kicked off so early so I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Honestly, I think they're a bit overrated. People here seem to really love them, but I'm completely neutral with them. They seemed nice, but like I said, they just weren't around long enough. They seemed strong but unfortunately they didn't make friends with the right people, which screwed them over and sealed the deal for an early exit for them.

6. Blue- I liked them both at first but once they got paired together as a team, they were a total trainwreck thanks to Willa. They could have made it far since they were both strong individually, but Willa's negativity and unwillingness to accept Antonio as a partner completely destroyed their chances. I think Willa was very judgmental towards Antonio for shallow reasons, and she was just straight up mean and disrespectful to him. I felt so bad for Antonio. Willa was childish, immature, and just completely vicious towards him. Poor guy.

7. Red- Could not care less about this team. They weren't strong at all, and they literally made zero impact on the competition. They were a filler team, and it was like they weren't even there most of the time. They just kind of lingered around in the background and pretty much contributed nothing- not in the competition or for reality TV entertainment. Just boring and useless lol. They only made it past the first couple eliminations because they made friends with the right people...but that only brought them so far. They made themselves totally expendable because they didn't win any challenges and had no power in the competition.

8. Grey- Yep, the winning team ranks at the bottom for me. If they hadn't won, I might have ranked them a spot or two higher, but just because they, a team I hated, took home the trophy, it made me hate them even more! Lol. Were they strong physically? Sure. Arguably, the strongest along with Purple. Did they play the game smart? Absolutely. Does that mean I have to like them? Nope! I thought they were both extremely arrogant, smug, manipulative, backstabbing, cold, and condescending. I did not like either of them. And the fact that they kept winning so many challenges and eventually, the entire competition...that REALLY got on my nerves. Lol!

[Mister Ham]

Redoing again!! I've been really into E3 lately and rewatched quite a few of the episodes...

1. Yellow - Unproblematic, iconic players. I loved their teamwork and how they never backed down from the other teams. I also admired how they used the teams who wanted them gone as shields (in the superteam and at final 4) and always found a way to beat the odds!!!

2. Green - I wanted to see so much more of them!! They were great people and seemed so strong and sweet. If there ever was an Endurance redo, I think they would have been a solid choice for a second chance season. Love them so much!!

3. Gray - Although I'm not a huge fan of Gray I must admit I'm impressed with how dominantly they played. Going into the finals 10-2 pieces?! Iconic. Their teamwork was the only one even close to yellow and they were definitely more likable than the other teams in their alliance. So happy they won over orange.

4. Brown - I feel like I love the premise of the brown team more than the actual team lol. I loved that these two got a second chance and that Tom won his way back in. Tom was a great friend but Vanetta was soooo boring. I wish they got to win a challenge to see what they would've done.

5. Orange - I have such mixed feelings on this team lolol. But I do admire how Damien treated others and Nicole is the player you love to hate. They were dysfunctional at best but somehow kept winning challenges here and there to keep it interesting.

6. Purple - I feel like Sarah was kind of a bully after rewatching and seemed to hold some grudges. I liked Reece but I think he cared more about his friendship with Chris over winning which made them a little less exciting to watch.

7. Blue - Ok honestly Willa was WILD but I do think they would have been an entertaining team to watch. We never got to see them come together and I think it would have made for a very interesting character arc.

8. Red - Honestly, red was so forgettable and seemed so much younger than the other teams. I do thank them for not eliminating Yellow in the Bagging on You challenge, but I do think that is probably the biggest effect they had on the entire game.

After many years and a few rewatches, I’d change my ranking to:

1. Yellow - how can they not be first?!
2. Green - still irrationally LOVE them
3. Purple - idc I just really like purple for some reason!
4. Blue - Antonio was so sweet and while Willa was crazy, there was something captivating about it. Like where did her craziness come from?! It seemed so out of character...
5. Orange - they were at least entertaining
6. Gray - I don’t like Gray team because they seemed smug and arrogant but I give them props for dominating the game
7. Red - neither here nor there
8. Brown - one of the most unsuccessful teams from Endurance lol

[Cruise meerkat Youssy]

I’m gonna rewatch again soon so they may change!

[kwdrewfan]

I just rewatched this season so it's fresh in my mind!

1. Yellow - obviously. Monroe is truly a legend and Bryanah was the only (lasting) girl this season who kept it real. Underdogs who powered through, used strategy, and kept their heads high 💪
2. Green - have to agree with Bryan that I irrationally love them hahaha. Their friendship was so refreshing and they would've made a strong team had they stayed longer.
3. Brown - they're literally only this high because they were on yellow team's side lmaooo. Tom could be kind of whiny at times but I liked him. No comment on Vanetta. 😬
4. Orange - genuinely just love Demian so much, he was a caring guy and his development arc (learning to stand up to Nicole) was amazing. Nicole is just an iconic villain and she actually played smart at times. (love the strategic decision at f4 to side with yellow)
5. Purple - I don't hate them but they were the most spineless team. I know she was young, but Sarah was the shallowest player ever and Reece had no mind of his own
6. Gray - gray 100% irritates me the most as a unit (and as individuals), but objectively they were a really good team. And when it came down to them vs orange in the end, gray definitely deserved it lol
7. Blue - they're only so low bc of how early they left and Willa's attitude..... she made for great TV but I felt so bad for Antonio, lol.
8. Red - who were they

Your comment on the Brown Team...hahahahahahahaha! Tom should've gotten a better partner.
As for the Orange Team and how they were "entertaining", I wish I could say that, but Nicole was just too mean to Bryanah. Maybe a rewatch would do things.
