Before I explain my vote, I'd like to say that y'all seriously need to stop b*tching about Mike and Zoey/The Final-Wreck-ening. All of you do it enough on every other blog and basically just say the same thing about it every time. Really, some of these responses make me question why this option a choice in the first place, especially given one of them is the person who made this poll. I think its pretty clear they won't win, and they obviously won't get my vote either, but if this option alone causes this blog to devolve into yet another anti-TDAS circlejerk, I'm not going to be happy.

Back on subject, Lies, Cries, and One Big Prize probably gets the most undeserved hatred of any episode ever made, enough to the point that I'm planning on making a really in-depth blog about it in the near future explaining why I think people are misinterpreting it - it really is a solid episode and one of the better finales in a while. However, given that I believe that finalist pairs work at their best when they contrast each other, like with Owen and Gwen, I think Lightning and Cameron is second to only them. Not to mention that their recently formed conflict gave the episode the context it needed, Shawn and Sky are a good pair finalist no doubt because of their context with other characters in the episode, even if I'm not fond of Sky, but these things and the fact that my favorite character is one of the two finalists in the former push the first choice over the edge for me.
