One Big Prize is a mess. Both endings feel incredibly rushed with only Shawn's been moderately more conclusive. It feels too much like a cliffnote, not a grand finale. Which is bad by TD standards, even the worst finales at least leave an impression, even if it's an unwanted one. And if you don't like Dave, you're not going to enjoy anything about his drama with Sky in this episode. Plus the whole Keith thing is just one big wrench meant to milk the drama, nobody "thinks about breaking up with someone, but didn't have time so they didn't", what kind of sense does that make?

And we don't see any of the other eliminated players.

It's not fun, it's not really exciting, and at the end of the day is just a straight up underwhelming episode where Dave is just half of the problem. As a finale goes for the most recent Total Drama season, the nicest thing you can say about it outside of Jasmine and Shawn getting together is that at least it's not The Final Wreck-ening.
