For long it was believed that track 5 on Taylor's album is kinda the special one, but IMO since Lover track 4 is usually (except Midnights) way better

 

The Man vs The Archer

Exile vs My Tears Ricochet 

'Tis The Damn Season v Tolerate It

Snow on the Beach vs You're on Your Own, Kid

Down Bad vs So Long, London

Father Figure bs Eldest Daughter 

 

what are your thoughts?

I Think He Knows vs The Archer

Exile vs My Tears Ricochet 

'Tis The Damn Season v Tolerate It

Snow on the Beach vs You're on Your Own, Kid

Down Bad vs So Long, London

Father Figure bs Eldest Daughter 

 

Tiebreaker:

Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus vs How Did It End

 

You have the first matchup listed backwards, Archer is the track 5. 
 

tis the damn season > Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus > tolerate it > exile > my tears ricochet > So Long London > How Did It End > You're On Your Own Kid > The Archer > Snow on the Beach > Down Bad > Father Figure > Eldest Daughter > I Think He Knows

I think he knows vs The Archer

Exile vs My Tears Ricochet 

'Tis The Damn Season v Tolerate It

Snow on the Beach vs You're on Your Own, Kid

Down Bad vs So Long, London

Father Figure vs Eldest Daughter 

 

Idk imo track 5 tends to be better, but a lot of these are very close, like Exile, Tis The Damn Season and So Long, London
