This episode isn't exactly good but it is a lot better than people give it credit for.

First off, the continuity isn't that bad. The fact that Courtney forgot about TDA isn't a big deal, as it doesn't affect anything regarding the episode. But more importantly, people love to mention the fact that she stated she had a strong stomach in Chinese Fake-Out, but you know what else she mentioned? That she was lactose intolerant in Dial M for Merger, meaning she can't eat daily products such as ice cream. Why does the first one get mentioned so frequently when the second one is completely overlooked, and furthermore, would override the strong stomach? Not to mention that she puked simply by eating too much food in Basic Straining, which is indicative of a pretty weak stomach. The plot twist isn't a big deal either, just given how poor the quality of Courtney's sundae was. Chris does plot twists at the end of episodes all the time, and something tells me Courtney loses the challenge anyway if the interns have to eat all the contestants' sundaes (except maybe Scott's but I still kind of doubt it)

Second off, the characterization of Courtney after the reveal of the list isn't really that bad. The only one she really gets in a conflict with is Scott, but Scott wasn't getting along with her even though he was supposedly going to go to the finale. And pretty much the entire thing with Gwen was her trying to get to rectify their friendship. But Gwen didn't want to do this unless Courtney voted herself off, and for the only time in the season Gwen actually seemed to have the advantage over Courtney. Believe it or not this was one of the only times I liked TDAS Gwen as a result, and she felt more in character than the rest of the season.

Finally, the challenge is actually one that I like quite a bit, and Scott is still funny, as he usually is.

Yeah, the episode does have some issues in the way of Mal, Zoey winning for no apparent reason, and the suddenness of it all, but it is just merely mediocre. I honestly feel like there is a bias against it because of how much people like Courtney and because of the fact people wanted her to win the season. Her unfolding wasn't much different that that of the last few seasons, in which she gets used or betrayed.
