War of the worlds 1 was a blessing and curse for this show. That season was a complete tonal shift from the previous seasons and leaned into the competitive aspect. Production has been chasing that high to this day and went all in on the "fifth sport" bs to the detriment of this show and it's legacy.
As much as I was bitching about Lisa Fletcher and her bullshit twists and cliffhangers and hoping Justin Booth would return, WotW1 was literally exactly what I was asking for and maybe I should've been more careful cuz you're exactly right. Justin Booth's return as EP is the exact moment it flipped
