Rank over time

[Mister Ham]

I don't think I ever got to this season before. Well nevertheless, even though E6 is one of my least-favorite seasons, it is still Endurance! Time to do one of my favorite games. Who was your favorite team when you first watched Endurance, and who is it now? I recently just watched the whole season and my opinions definitely changed a lot. Here we go...

About five years ago...

1. Blue
2. Purple
3. Red
4. Orange
5. Yellow
6. Green



Now...

1. Purple - They are basically the reincarnation of E3 Yellow. Such great teamwork and were targeted for being a threat and not being an "in" team.
2. Green - Such amazing teamwork and were a smart team. Was there anything they couldn't do? Very similar to E1 Blue I thought.
3. Red - Don't talk to me about their elimination. They went through so much and were finally coming around near the end. The worst Endurance twist in my opinion.
4. Yellow - I really would have liked to see this team blossom. They could have accomplished a lot and I would have liked to see them make it a few rounds further.
5. Blue - They were a nice team but I really don't think they deserved to win. I'm glad they won for Purple's sake but they didn't necessarily earn it.
6. Orange - I really didn't like Lauren's attitude and Caleb got way too upset when he'd lose a mission. I feel like they let Green play the game for them and that got them eliminated.

When I first watched in 2007/2008 my favorites ran like this:

1. Blue
2. Purple
3. Yellow
4. Orange
5. Green
6. Red

Idk why but I loved Blue and was so glad they won. As for Orange I just didn't like their attitude, I hated Green I thought they were so smug like Gray E3, and I HATED red Hannah was a brat who always picked on Briana and Jonathan was whiny to me
Now after rewatching it 2 years ago I'd say my favorites run:
1. Purple
LOVE Them so underrated
2. Yellow
Briana got a villain edit but I thought Hannah was worse than her and Kyle seemed really nice and cool
3. Orange
For some reason I didn't like Caleb first time around but rewatching it he's such a great guy. Lauren is eh to me though
4/5. Blue and Green tie. Rewatching it I realized Blue didn't actually DO much. In the end I feel like Green deserved to win definitely. I still wasn't a total fan of Green's attitude but their loss in the final was kind of.......unwarranted considering they ran the game and Blue got lucky
6. Red still my least favorite but I don't acticely dislike them anymore. Like Caleb I came around to Jonathan and I still don't really like Hannah because of the whole Briana situation but in the end I started to root for them

When I first watched this season, my rankings went along like this (or at least up to seven years ago):

1. Yellow
2. Purple
3. Blue
4. Green
5. Red
6. Orange

I had a soft spot for the underdog, which is why Yellow and Purple were so high. I thought Yellow going out the way they did was pretty sad, as they never really showed off their full potential. Purple and Blue were nice, and I couldn't bother with the rest.

After rewatching this season:

1. Purple: I don't think Connor and Jackie would make the top two of my rankings in any other season, but they were such a dynamic duo with their quirks! Connor is definitely a character with his quips and how he plays the game, whereas Jackie is a thoughtful person (except when she was targeted!). I wished they would've won a mission and became the scrappy underdogs of their season.
2. Yellow: I still have a soft spot for them, even if they never really seemed to mesh. Kyle turned out to be a thoughtful guy throughout when I rewatched this season; and despite her negative reaction to getting him, Briana didn't turn out as bad as I thought. I just never got that moment where they managed to click.
3. Green: Smug as they may be, they were still powerhouses in terms of missions and strategy. The problem with them is that they don't seem to have much of an edge about them.
4. Red: Hannah and Jonathan definitely have their sharp edges about them, but when they coalesced, they were quite a strong team. Their arc was quite a bit choppy, in that sometimes they were awesome, and sometimes not. That said, they held their own and only ended up losing out due to the final twist.
5. Blue: Blue is definitely a cool team, and I'm glad they've won for Purple's sake, but what did they do to deserve it? I'm glad they had a social game which didn't involve ruthlessness, but this is David v. Goliath when it's harder to root for David. I'm still semi-convinced that them winning was cosmic penance for the end of e5, haha.
6. Orange: Caleb was cool, but something rubbed me off the wrong way about them. And while they were a strong team on the mission front, they seemed to leech on Green a bit too much, and came off as a bit smug as a result.
