Scarlett was humilated in that she was defeated by Max; the person she at this point utterly despised and thought of as just a pathetic wannabe villain, and sent off with him at teh same time; which is pretty dang ironic if you ask me. A pretty horrible fate for her, even if it was disproportionate, just a bit more interesting than just having her brutally injured or arrested, which would've been predictable.

Aside from that, I could care less about Sugar's karma, I actually thought her elimination was pretty satsifying.

But, the thing is, "dumb luck" describes Sugar getting third place in general. In Hurl and Go Seek, the immunity challenge was practically designed for her to win. (From the writer's perspective, it probably was) and she was in a cast full of weirdos who suck at playing the game in general, compared to them she's a mastermind.

The whole Ella thing isn't antagonistic though. If anything she was actually helping her team that way, and that would've been her first antagonistic move even if that was, meaning for the rest of that whole chunk of the season she did nothing as an antagonist.. This is somewhat acceptable if she's supposed to be a secondary/minor antagonist, but as a main antagonist, that's pretty bad. And she's only directly antagonistic post-Scarlett Fever, before that we only saw her as redicilously compettive, and was mostly just comedy relief. As an antagonist she would be much more tolerable if she actually was the antagonist...for a larger majority of the time, but she wasn't, she was comedy relief for like more than half of her time in the season.
