Yep, that's the beauty of the whole Whose Line team, everyone keep their egos in check and really work well together. The fact that they don't analyse who should/shouldn't have done what or say what, and instead they focus on the positives, is testament to that great teamwork. Anita, that is a great point you brought up.

Everytime a new episode comes along, someone would review it on the messageboards and say what's the best game and who's the best player. I just say, "so what?"

We're not getting a true reflection on who is the best player because the episodes are edited to showcase one or two players. We only know from seeing the taping live. It doesn't really matter who's the best player. It's improv, it's teamwork: no one person carries the bulk of the job, it's everyone.
