The reason that in the middle is happening is that the temperature is wrong, judging by the inconsistent thickness of extruded material and lack of adhesion. If it's a high heat filament like PETG then the printer might be stopping and resetting because its got a heat sensor with a low upper limit.

What about the top right benchy?

Two printers were fighting for the same bed (one with black filament and one with white). Obviously the black printer won and finished the print perfectly.

For that one you need an old priest and a young priest.
