The only episodes that are in the exact same spots on both my list and your list are:
Stare Master at 15
Party of One at 1.

The biggest difference between my ranking and yours is that I actually consider Show Stoppers to be one of the best episodes of the season.

We have two in the same spots.
21. The Show Stoppers
22. Boast Busters

I see the biggest differences being where we place the episodes are the following:
Green Isn't Your Color - this was one of my favorites of the season actually. I think it was great characterization of Rarity and Fluttershy. It was also the first time we saw the Pinkie promise. But given what I've seen from your other reviews, I'm not surprised this one is towards the bottom for you actually.

Fall Weather Friends - This episode is towards the bottom (#19) for me. Dunno. It's not a bad episode but it just doesn't really fit in the series somehow especially when putting later seasons in light. I did like the overall message and moral of the episode though. Besides that we're pretty close.
