Honestly, let's just give this debate a rest. I thought that the twists close to the end of the season were unique and played off really well. I'm getting really tired of all the negativity close to the end of the season. Yes, the best friends had to leave due to an injury (and no, it doesn't feel like a torture episode. If you're looking for a torture episode, watch The Splinter or Boating Buddies) and the Surfers returned and won. But guess what? I had NO PROBLEM with how it turned out. Do I think the Cadets deserved to win over them? Yes, a little bit. But the Surfers got really good, well-deserved karma for their good actions for the Best Friends in Vietnam and I think they definitely deserved it. They played a fair game through and through and got fantastic development in the season. I strongly disagree with Last Tango in Buenos Aires being a torture episode done wrong. Torture episodes "done wrong" are episodes dedicated to endlessly hurting characters and they get no relief from it whilst their torturers get no comuppance whatsoever (just watch a Squidward torture episode, compare it to this episode, and tell me what you think). Calling it this form of a torture episode is just blowing things way out of proportion and feels incredibly negative. Yes, Devin got pushed off a cliff, but at least he recovered and got the girl of his dreams. Yes, Carrie got injured, but at least she got the man of her dreams. So, despite the repetitive gag, it wasn't THAT bad. So personally, I think we should just end this debate and bring up a topic that actually praises the show instead of ripping it anew (TVDF, ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?).
