Season 11 is so good.

I was feeling like the show was starting to decline, especially with Joe gone, so I haven't watched episodes in a WHILE. Maybe a year and a half or two since I watched semi-consistently. Thought the episodes were decent when I did watch. So all this time later I decided to start season 11 from scratch and holy crap was I suprised. It's like the magic is back for some reason. Maybe I'm just used to Joe being gone and letting myself enjoy it more but these challenges and punishments have been so fun lately. Some of their funniest stuff. You can tell the guys are having as much fun as ever--maybe they themselves have kind of accepted Joe's absence and have a burst of new life in the creative process. I almost binged the entire season so far in one go. They haven't lost a step and it makes me excited for more.
