It's true that Season 2 has a notorious history of being misrepresented or surrounded by a false narrative. This spans from Cole to the vibe, with people claiming it was a forced arc. Revisionist history is the main reason people dislike Season 2. There are two types: positive and negative.
For example, positive revisionist history might say, "Season 3 is the best season and had a great cast who all contributed, plus it had the best challenges." However, if you watched Season 3, it had maybe two good cast members and zero actually good challenges. Most discussions about Season 3 focus on the parts where they were basically babying them. This reveals what these people consider "good" or a "good vibe."
On the other hand, negative revisionist history might claim, "The season died after Cole was kicked," or "I stopped watching because of the fan reveal." This is negative because the show actually picked up with TJ and Taylor kissing, and the fan reveal didn’t change anything significant. Season 2 is the best season, and maybe one day we will all grow enough to realize this.
