Each season has their good and bad parts, definitely. Season 8 was good for people who enjoyed pure game play and genuine drama. I hated the concept of America's Player, but I admit it added some tense moments (the hinky votes, etc) and I thought Eric was quite a good game player and would've gone far if he *wasn't* AP.
BB6, imo, was just so different from all the other seasons because the "teams" were drawn so early on and from the moment HOH won, you knew exactly what was going to happen. And with 99% of the people pulling for the Sovs each and every week, watching Kaysar come back and lose HOH, leave again, watching James switch from side to side, and seeing Janie somehow pull out getting to the final 3, it was an intense season with one of my least favorite outcomes.
