I agree with everything .... except Dave. Granted, Wikipedia spoiled the elimination order due to combining AS (I was looking something up and I was stupid not to check the wikia, but I was determined to stay off since that's how AS was spoiled for me.) so I wouldn't know which ones were suspenseful or not.

As for Dave, I really like him as the potential he had by maybe expanding out of his comfort zone and getting to know and understand the wacky goofy characters that annoyed him, but then they paired him with Sky and he became obsessive, stalker-like, and more whiny. Everybody whines, some judging someone for doing it. I know it's annoying but I wonder how people would react. As a bachelor, I wouldn't know. Plus, to me the writers and viewers switched sides of his character. He seemed sympathetic on one side (him cheering for kissing a girl he likes made me feel warm inside, but then others took it as him being desperate). But I agree he should have listened to Sky and not force her into a relationship but they weren't even in one, he had an unhealthy attraction like Sierra to Cody but that's not his label, he's supposed to be normal. Anyway, than another side has him acting like a whiny female dog (some lines in the finale I took as a means to making him sympathetic, but other see it as whining, okay ...)

I think his biggest flaw is the end of the finale where he lied to Jasmine and attempted to stop a girl who he believed toyed with his emotions. I'm going to be honest, if that was me, I'd totally do everything I can to stop Sky and win 500,000 grand for myself. Though I wouldnt light it on fire... I always add this next part so I never get into any flame wars, but I do sincerely mean it. I stated my thoughts, and I respect your's.
