History YMMV / Endurance

** Tom Maden from ''Hawaii'' took up acting after the show and has landed roles in various television shows including a recurring role in Series/ScreamTVSeries.

** Scooter, to some extent, on Endurance 2. He was outspoken about his views that brown should be eliminated as he felt they already had a chance to win in the previous season. Given Brown's success, some fans would argue [[JerkassHasAPoint he had a point]].

** And on the same season, Jeszie. People are divided by how loud she was during the competition. It's made even more apparent because Tehachapi was a more low-key season with minimal drama.

** The Temple of Fate game has proven unpopular with some fans over time. The Rock-Paper-Scissors type game has not really changed since the series began (the only exception is the Mana nei lavo reward in ''Fiji'' which guarantees a free round whenever that team is sent to temple) and that strong teams can lose (and thus be eliminated) to weak teams based heavily on luck. On the other hand, some find that this game is great at creating suspense and allowing for a surprising outcome, along with showing how "fate" can determine how things played out.

** Michelle losing at Temple, especially after we find out why she wanted to win the grand prize.
** Green and Yellow going up to Temple on Endurance: Hawaii. As they were each other's only friends in the game, it amplified the sadness of that particular Temple of Fate. There were a lot of tears to go around that night.

* SeasonalRot: Season 6, Fiji, and to a certain extent ''Endurance: Tehachapi'' from ''Endurance: Hawaii'', due to the relatively lack of drama in both seasons and the lack of challenges in the former season. Some also felt ''Fiji'' may have suffered by having too many twists throughout the game.

** Also the Red Team from ''Fiji''. Jonathan manage to pull out the only red colored rock and had to go to Temple and lost to Blue.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: When the Gray Team left on ''Endurance: High Sierras'', they left a note to the remaining six teams. While Darci had some nice things to say about Connor, Ike wished Taylor would "switch a trip to Hawaii for a trip to the Temple of Fate". In the final three, the Blue Team got the advantage for the final Temple Mission, but lost and went up to Temple for a fourth time, where they were eliminated by Green.

** Skyler on E1: he would later appear on Intervention due to his addiction to bath salts, which partially stemmed because of his stage mother. Endurance was partially shown but never mentioned. It would get worse as he died in October 2020 due to complications.

* CriticalResearchFailure: JD oddly has this sometimes when he is referencing details from past seasons.
** In ''High Sierras'', he says no team won Endurance without having gone to Temple at least once before the finale. This is inaccurate as the Blue team from season 1 never got sent to Temple but still won the game.
*** Becomes HilariousInHindsight when the Purple Team made it to the finale without going to Temple once, though they still lost.
** In ''Fiji'' he says that the eliminated teams from High Sierras voted for a team who they felt had the most karma with the reward being the Karma piece. This is inaccurate as the vote was for an advantage in the final temple mission. The karma piece wasn't even an official piece until Fiji. While a karma piece was given to the final 2 teams of High Sierras as a gift, it was the third placed team that won the vote and thus they weren't given a karma piece in that sense either.

** Calley losing "Cherry Picker" to the Purple Team, then [[spoiler: crying after losing Temple that same night]].

** Green and Yellow [[spoiler: going up to Temple on Endurance: Hawaii. Yellow's two subsequent trips, and their elimination in the final three also qualify as this.]]

** Darci from ''High Sierras''. Girl gotten stuck with the Cursed Gray color and was gunned for elimination which was partially the result of her former partner Connor.

** And on the same season, Jeszie. People are divided by how loud she was during the competition.

** Scooter, to some extent, on Endurance 2. He was outspoken about his views that brown should be eliminated as he felt they already had a chance to win in the previous season. Given Brown's success, some fans would argue he had a point.

** The reception for ''Endurance: Tehachapi''. Coming off a dramatic and notable ''Endurance: Hawaii'', some people complained it lacked the drama of the latter. Notably, on the ''J.D's Greatest Twists'' special that aired after ''Fiji'', it was the only season to not have anything listed. Others cheered on the casting and how close they are to each other and some saw it was refreshing given the amount of drama that preceded it in Hawaii and would occur again in ''Endurance: High Sierras''.
** Green Team winning Endurance: High Sierras provided controversial for the fans. Most stated they were undeserved, as they only won one mission (though they did do better than Purple in the final piece mission) and were carried by the Purple Team for the entire way. Others suggested that it was better, perhaps being karma for carrying a team to the final only to then lose to them.
** The Temple of Fate game has proven unpopular with some fans over time. The Rock-Paper-Scissors type game has not really changed since the series began (the only exception is the Mana nei lavo reward in ''Fiji'' which guarantees a free round whenever that team is sent to temple) and that strong teams can lose (and thus be eliminated) to weak teams based heavily on luck. On the other hand, some find that this game is great at creating suspense and allowing for an intense outcome, along with showing how "fate" can determine how things played out.

** Bryannah & Monroe for Hawaii. They were disliked by most of the other teams (particularly the Orange-Red-Purple-Gray alliance though Orange did eventually change allegiance) and where given the Samadhi 3 times (the record for most Samadhi given to a team) and survived 2 trips to temple. It was only in the final 3 that they lost, becoming the last victims of the 3 temple curse. Downplayed though compared to examples, despite initial partner issues, they actually proved to be one of the stronger teams of the season.

** Monroe & Bryannah in season three. They proved they weren't a weak team and made it far into the competition despite being the prime target of Gray, Purple and Orange teams for most of the season.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: When the Gray Team left on ''Endurance: High Sierras'', they left a note to the remaining six teams. While Darci had some nice things to say about Connor, Ike wished Taylor would "switch a trip to Hawaii for a trip to the Temple of Fate". In the final three, [[spoiler: the Blue Team got the advantage for the final Temple Mission, but lost and went up to Temple for a fourth time, where they were eliminated by Green]].

** Ashley and Sabrina's friendship is this, as Ashley mentioned being "blindsided" when watching it on TV. During the reunion, the two girls were seen staring at each other, implying they had a falling out since filming.

** From the same season, Alex and Cealey, to some extent. [[spoiler: When the eliminated teams voted on whom should get an advantage in the last Temple Mission, they got zero points each. The fact they won the game despite their lack of mission wins and being good friends with purple who won most of the temple missions doesn't really help their case.]]
