I stopped watching this season on this episode, though it seems the last few episodes may be better.

The first two episodes were good -- after that, either some writer converted to the new gnostic religion of wokeism, or they hired some writers that are cultists.

At the very least, there *seemed* to be less people there just for exposure & more for the reasons that are actually given -- took me a while to get to this one after the disappointment that was the 'Aloha State' (season 2 on Netflix).

I haven't watched the most recent Terrace House, "Terrace House: Tokyo 2019-2020", but out of the three available on Netflix, this one is by far the best. I'd give it a 7.5 if I could.

If someone is considering watching this for the first time, should just go ahead and begin with this. If you like it, watch the original Netflix "Terrace House" (2015) before trying Aloha State.

Also should note that on relative niche shows like this, there tend to be a lot of positive reviews that are 'helpful' and anything that is even slightly critical gets a 'non-helpful' rating -- can observe some similar effect on, say, anime shows on Amazon, where even the worst is 4 stars.

I wasn't too happy with the cast of the 2015 Terrace House (too many people just trying to further careers in entertainment), but compared to this 2016 version, well, it was downright amazing.

Most of the male house guests were passably entertaining (including one surprise at the very start, which didn't fit the typical mold), but can't say the same for the female guests.

I'd love to see more people actually interested in this 'relationship' aspect, vs. playing to camera for modeling, actor, etc., careers.

I can't help but think an age range of 21-34 would be infinitely more interesting than the 18-29 that has been shown the last two seasons.
