1 is food poisoning
2 is gross and chewy
3 is better but not cooked enough in places
4 is perfect
5 is overcooked but acceptable, I’d prefer it to 3
6 is burnt, but at least it’s better than 2

You’re right if you’re having back bacon but mentally retarded if you don’t crisp up streaky bacon.

All of these were cooked at too high a temperature, which is why there's so much argument in this thread. The high temperature means that none of these slices are sufficiently consistent, and explains the sudden jump between 4 & 5, as the fat is not given time to render until the meat is already drying.

Conclusion - OP's image was made by Tasty, or another shitty youtube channel.

3 hands down, 4 is acceptable is it's thick sliced and still soft in the center.

3 if it’s headed for the top of a bacon cheeseburger, because I like to give the bacon and the beef patty a few minutes to get to know each other on the cooking surface, and the bacon will finish up during that time.
