By the worst episode of the season. Even taking Gwen's elimination out, it's like you said about being boring and mean-spirited all the way though.

By this point in the series, Gwen's elimination was hands down the worst because of how it very much feels like it was thought up during the 11th hour since it fails to do the one simple thing every Plot Allergy does: Get foreshadowed at one point even within the one episode where it's used...

This episode was written by a newcomer named Michael Gelbart and it's pretty obvious that he pulled an Ed. Thankfully, this was his only episode thus far and the show is better off without him.
