Description
This season was Amazing and the best thing the TD franchise ever did.Since the last episode finally arrived in my country,I'm going to do a team rankings.The list has mostly okay opinions,but it may also contain some not very popular opinions,but respect them.

Love
1.Sisters- I know this choice is rather overrated,but I can't help it.I recognize awesome characters when I see them.I admit that in the beginning I didn't understand the massive popularity for them.Kitty was great,being cheerful,adorable and funny,but Emma was a little bossy for my taste (I knew that she would change later in the season,so that wasn't a big problem).But she started to get better once the Nomma plot happened and after Noah and Owen were eliminated,they became the coolest team ever!They had many interesting things to tell,they had fun,development and great interactions.They were Amazing in their last few episodes and even strenghtened their sisterly bond.I didn't pick them to win,since I KNEW that they wouldn't be in the finale (due to those damn spoilers  ),but I'm surprised to hear that they were supposed to be original finalists.   Overall,Kitty is like a smarter Lindsay(who's my favourite character)and Emma is a developped Courtney who deserves all the love she gets.

2.Reality TV pros- I'll be honest.The main reason why I wanted to see them so much is Noah.Despite not giving him much attention at first,he had recently grown on me before the season started.And TBH,he was great here!He finally gets a girlfriend,who(despite what people think )improves his character,because it gives him a more 3 dimensional personality.But at the same time,he's still got enough sarcastic remarks and funny jokes and he's funny when he's with Owen,even though he annoys him a lot. I'm surprised that Owen improved,too.He's still a fun-loving and hilarious character (and of course,there are still fart and poop jokes),but he also became smarter,wiser,puts more effort in the game and takes the charge when Noah can't (like those times when he's "dead" or heartbroken and saves him from nearly getting them eliminated in episode 11).Not to mention,Owen hugging Noah !

3.Police Cadets- Another team that surprised me. But despite their different personalities,they work so well together.This is also one of the funniest and most developped teams.MacArthur (or should I say Valentina Escobar  )is hilarious and tough,even though a bit full of herself and gets better in the last few episodes.Sanders is of course more serious and level-headed,but still proves to be stronger,especially after she takes the charge,despite having her arm broken.Their rivalry with the Ice dancers was awesome (even though I don't like that team)and I'm SO glad they won in Romania after the sisters couldn't.

4.Goths- These two are the definition of awesome!Their deadpan humour and interest in dark things are hilarious.They just get more and more awesome with each episode.They're amazing and very unique in challenges and both have great character designs.Their best episode is of course episode 11,where they were un-gothed and revealed that they were together,but still accepted the way they were (and that's what a good couple should do)and their second outfits were just cool and creepy.Not to mention,Loki and Ennui's connection with animals and Crimson's possible past as a cowgirl.

5.Surfer dudes- This team is hilarious!They're the ultimate Bromance,but I ship them as a couple,too.I started to ship them since Brody said "I would marry you again"and the way they hug a lot (they even hug Don sometimes,much to his annoyance)is hilarious.Also,Geoff finally returns to his TDI self and becomes a fun-loving party boy again.

6.Father & son- Their relarionship and bonding is so cute!They're great characters on their own,too.Junior is just a normal kid who wants to have fun with the others(like the Best Friends and Surfer dudes)and wants to be treated like a man.Ironically,he's also the more level-headed one and often helps them get out of trouble.Dwayne might be embarassing,but is still a great father (who would do anything for his son,even would try to be cool for him and do some awesome dancing moves and get a female tattoo) and is a hilarious one,too. (I remember him saying Scooby Doo at one point  )They also had great bonding in episodes 12 and 16,especially in the latter.Them watching Pakitew Island was a great idea(I hope they skip the finale and episode 9,because they suck)and their elimination was the most emotional ever.I wanted to cry when Junior hugged his father and thanked him for everything,meaning that despite embarassing him a lot,he still loves him. And of course,there's that scene where they walk into the sunset while embracing each other,it was too much for me.

Warning! Well,now are starting the relatively unpopular opinions,so please respect them

Like
7.Stepbrothers- The most split team in the fanbase,it seems,but I'm one of those who likes them.I didn't really care for them at first,but now I think they're one of the most entertaining teams.Their constant fighting and childish arguments were a little annoying at first,but now I find them rather funny.But the last few episodes,where they finally get along(and they're so funny and cool when they do that) plus the nice fanart and fanfictions made them grow a lot in me.It was funny when they thought the kangaroo was an albino bunny and even funnier when they thought the albino bunny was a giant maggot/worm (my reaction at that was literally "Jack Spicer!"  ).And of course,the scene where they shared their hug was so cute!  So in conclusion,I like them as both enemies and friends.

8.Rockers- I didn't care for them at first,either,but I kinda like them now.Rock is pretty cool,motivational,likes to have fun,but at the same time tries to play the game and he's funny when he uses sound effects to describe something. (but I'm not much of a Tayrock fan,honestly  )Spud is really weird and sometimes annoying,but his late reactions at things can be funny sometimes and he's funny when he gets excited for things that don't happen (I can't believe that in the finale he thought they were finalists XD).Also,it's cool that they became friends with the stepbrothers at the end.

9.Fashion bloggers- The last team I like that isn' t an unpopular opinion.I admit that these two are kinda overrated,since they had few episodes and still have a lot of fans,but I still really like them.At first I didn't think I would like them because I thought they would be those kind of unlikable characters who are overly obsessed with their looks and act rude (like Justin,Anne Maria and in this case,Taylor),but they actually surprised me!  They weren't rude at all,they were actually very nice,especially in the last episode where they fixed their friendship after arguing over who created the blog.They had nice friendship moments in the other episodes,too.Also,unlike most girls on this site,I actually like fashion,so I can relate a bit with them.From these two I probably prefer Tom,since he reminds me of that time when Rarity thought a rock was a diamond and named it Tom. They deserve to appear in the next season!

10.Adversity twins- One of the most underrated teams ever.People hate them unfairly because they're weak,have a lot of allergies and fears,are Cameron rip-offs and are annoying,but am I the only one who likes them?Give them credit!They have their moments:
*In Brazil,they got their tip easily because they're immune to venom and Mickey's crush on Kitty was cute. And it's funny when they fail at high-fiving properly XD
*In Transilvania,Mickey lifted the coffin,despite being heavy,and looked pretty badass doing this
*In Dubai(the best part),they placed 3rd because they took a normal taxi and it was funny when they pissed-off the Ice dancers for defeating them.But nooooo,people have to complain because they get nosebleed
*In Finland,they didn't have trouble at all in the sauna challenge,while the others were burning.Also,the "I'm not a tree" thing made me laugh for some reason. XD
Also,they're too adorable to hate.

11.Vegans- Another underrated team.People don't like them because they're boring and some peoole think they're racist for some reason,but I like their nature lover personalities and the fact that they want to save the world.Also,it was funny when Laurie beat Don  .It sucks that they had to get tortured in the last episodes and had to leave so early.

12.Tenis Rivals- Pretty much guilty pleasures since they had a short run,but they had some funny moments and still have potential left for a future season.

13.Best friends- I admit that out all of the main characters these two are so far my least favourites.Other main characters(Gwen,Zoey,Sky or Jasmine,whoever is)are in the top 10,but they are at the bottom of the characters I like.They were boring in the first half and for the most part I could care less about them,and in the second half,the plot was just dragged out too much and not very well written.But on their own,they were pretty good characters.Devin himself is a very messed up character,but has some good lines and moments,is pretty cool and looks like Mako from The Legend of Korra .I prefer Carrie,because she's sweet,friendly and I like her interactions with the other teams.The moment where they kissed was so cute,despite taking 24 episodes.Overall,despite their problems,I still kinda like them.

Neutral
14.Geniuses- Ehhhh,other teams have at least one thing to like about them,but I can't judge them because they did nothing to impress me.I know people like Ellody because she looks and sounds like Courtney,but I'm not a Courtney fan unlike other people,so that's not a redeeming quality,either.

15.Mother & daughter- The main problem with this team is that Taylor follows a lot of cliches that I don't like.She' s your typical mean rich girl and a spoiled brat and while not as bad or annoging as other examples,she could still have been better.As I said before,she's also the kind of character who's overly concerned with his looks and rude,something I thought the fashion bloggers were going to be,but weren't.The fact that she treats her mother badly doesn't help,either.Kelly is ok,I like that she stood up to Taylor in the end and maybe will try harder with the parenting in the future.They learnt to get along in the end,but I don't think Taylor learnt a lot from the race(and of course,we didn't get any emotional moments from them,unlike the other family based teams -_-).

Dislike
16.Ice dancers- I don't like how they always cheat and sabotage the other teams and I don't like how Sue-ish they are in challenges.Sure,Josee might have had a hard past and a mom who always forced her to win and she can be funny when she throws tantrums (especially when she throws knives XD),but could've been better if she actually had tried to manipulate the others instead of sabotaging them. :/At least Jacques is much better as a character and their rivalry with the Cadets is great.

17.L.A.R.P.-ers- WTF,out all of the good contestants from the first three generations,who deserved more to return(Eva,Katie and Sadie,Dawn,Brick,even Beardo),they bring back Leonard?Nobody liked him in TDPI and he didn't improve at all this season!His partner isn't as annoying as him,but still boring.This team is just pointless.

Hate!
18.Daters/Haters- The main problem with this team is of course Stephanie.I hate her because she's overly competitive,bitchy,a terrible girlfriend and she always yells at Ryan and treats him like crap. They should have been eliminated WAY earlier!In the first 6 episodes they were alright,they were just a bland couple and ocasionnaly funny,but in episode 7 they got rid of the Fashion bloggers instead of them and in episode 8 they just became horrible!They should have been eliminated here,but instead,they break up and become the Haters.And for the rest of their run,they just spend all the time arguing!In episode 16 I thought they were going to get better,but the final straw is episode 17.We were forced to listen to their crappy arguing THE WHOLE EPISODE!Stephanie was very stupid when she used the boomerang on her own partner,what's wrong with her?! And the worst of all,they're safe AGAIN because this episode is an NER! In episode 23,they FINALLY reconcile,get a happy ending and get eliminated!But it' s not enough for me to like this team,because I lost my patience with them a long time ago. After everything that Stephanie did this season,I 'll never gonna like her.
On the bright side,Ryan is alright and I like his friendship with Carrie.
