Alright so I've been binge-watching E6 lately and I never realized there was a Karma piece that the eliminated contestants voted on... It was such a bigger thing in E5 and this one took a total of about 30 seconds. Did anyone else completely forget this part of the game or was it only me? I feel like E6 was really overlooked and this was the first time I watched every episode in succession so now adding it up I know better what happened.

E6 is kind of like the red headed stepchild of Endurance. I mean, it was Endurance so I enjoyed it... but I think it's pretty universal that it's one of the least favorite seasons. :/ I just feel like the editing was all off and the characters weren't as enjoyable to watch. I think if they did the original twist, with bringing back the RTS eliminated players to be on their own teams, it would have been 10x better. I think the production budget was just too low in this season.

E6 was full of way too many random twists, too many pieces, and not enough teams. I feel like every round was something outrageous. Like round one was Mana Delavo, automatically sending a team to temple, Blue getting a free piece. Then round three two teams being able to send a team to temple. Then the next round they had the TV nuts and Red got sent home unfair. Then the karma thing and I was just like enough with all these random twists!! I feel like quite a few teams got sent home unfairly because of them. Such a random season...
Honestly I loved E5 and I watched every single episode. I watched like three of E6 and I completely stopped and didn't resume until a year or two ago. I wish it ended on a higher note.

There really were a lot of random, unnecessary twists in E6 and oh my goodness don't get me started on the TV nuts. I've still never recovered from that one. (partially I'm sure because Red was my favorite team, but in all fairness, that was one of the worst/most unfair twists I've ever seen regardless of who could have ended up getting it)
I also agree that this season may have benefited from having the RTS players return.

To be honest, I felt like E6 took Endurance and completely radicalized it. I couldn't follow much; when I first watched the season, I only really sympathized with Yellow. And if E6 is indeed the final season, it was a bad way to do so.  |

Another interesting thing I found - both members of Orange, Lauren and Caleb said they would want to give Blue help to win the game. Then why was Blue the only team they didn't give one of their pieces to?

That is a little odd, but maybe they gave their pieces to Green and Red because they felt some obligation to the (previous) alliance? If that were the case, it wouldn't mean they couldn't still look at Blue and think, "They've been the nicest this whole time, so I kind of want them to win over the other teams". |

True, I'm still really surprised Orange gave Green one of their pieces though when they kept that huge secret from them. Either way it proves Orange was loyal through and through. |

Green did in general do what they could to keep Orange in the game (Green could have given them the samedhi twice but didn't despite Orange being one of the strongest teams) and Green did seem to intend on going to the final 2 with them. They thus likely gave them a piece in recognition of that.
