Yeah really, McGurrin has written some of the show's worst episodes. Bad even by the "Worst" standards of most other shows. There's never any excuse for dumbing down characters to satisfy a plot point or "more drama", which was a critical flaw that affected everything about All-Stars, and other seasons like World Tour. The idea of him helming another finale worries me greatly. And he bears a lot of the blame for why Fresh is getting buried over the whole Mike/Mal issue, seeing how he was co-author of Wreck-ening which gave us that blasted reset button that cast them into such hot water. And that cliffhanger, and sinking the island........I don't know what ideas were his and what were those of Ganetakos, but everything about it was inexcusable. And all of his episodes commit the same crimes. Bridgette in Yukon, Heather in Spanish Opposition, everyone in Greece's Pieces to the point of full-blown ***holery, everybody most especially Gwen in Booty-ful, Dave and Sky in One Big Prize.........This is why Fresh gets so much heat, people don't want to see their characters dumbed down or villified for such forced plot points. If you have to ruin whole characters to make this stuff work, then you've failed as a writer. And McGurrin seems all too happy to make that mistake for boneheaded drama that comes at the expense of everything else. So I won't be particularly thrilled about him writing the finale. Ttowen1 said that he heard the man only has a single writing credit for Ridonculous Race....It figures he'd get the job he deserves the least.
