    Come on guys... There was no talk of prices/specs at the end of the video? Also, what was the deal with the benchmarking scenario? No test settings appeared to be validated (as shown with tomb raider). Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't either team have easily cheated by lowering the settings to get a tad higher fps in gaming benchmarks? 
     
    This was easily the most polished and entertaining scrapyard wars to watch, but I was just bummed at the end. There was so much cheating/rule bending and fighting for the win/loss rather than having fun at the end.

    Didn't like the finale, not the results themselves but how it was organised.
    I have the same gripes as with the previous season, rushed final with no mentioning(and by mentioning I mean having a graph or a bar on the screen) of the final specs of the systems(we can't be expected to remember the final specs of each system with so much changing during the episodes and the episodes being a week apart). This time at least you showed properly how each system looks like in terms of aesthetics(in previous season there was barely any camera shots focusing on the 2 systems or they were bad in a case that you can't see how the PC looked). I just hope you use more tables/graphs/bar and other graphic interface/design instruments to display more information during the show and especially the final(especially the PCs specs). As it is, the show is too auditory in my opinion, make it so there is more information presented visually/graphically. I also disagree with you making the benchmark being part of the building phase and having a deadline for them. It doesn't make sense errors in benchmarking(like forgetting to turn off sync or using different settings) to affect the scoring - just because someone forgot to turn v-sync off, doesn't suddenly magically change the video card into a slower one. Which is why the benchmarks should be done after the deadline is reached so everything can be tested thoroughly. Anyway, everything else was fine though(final aside, everything was nicely shot and edited, also 4 episodes spaced a week apart seem perfect even if they're long) and still it was a good season.
    I give the season 7/10

    feels like a rushed ending. There's should been a rundown for each system not only for Jay but also for the viewers as well.  The benchmarks should've been done live at Jay's studio imo for better transparency. 
     
    I think it's ironic that Linus got all salty about them cheating when he and Luke only managed to get the parts they had because the sellers knew who they were.  As I said in a previous post, there needs to be a rule where Linus, Luke, or any participant who's a youtuber, cannot contact the seller directly to avoid getting deals that a normal person wouldn't have been able to get.

    I feel like they should have added another episode where they dived into the system like as an added bonus and run the benchmarks again together instead of having that whole after the outro thing
