I don't like Dave but that is a very black and white outlook on it. While earlier on Dave wasn't the nicest contestant but he still was a supportive friend to Shawn and saved Ella from drowning. By the time he started trying to hurt Shawn and Sky his mind was already broken. He was already going through Sanity Slippage throughout with Sky leading hin on. Then in the finale she manipulates his feelings and even kisses him. Eventually finding out Sky had a boyfriend, Chris torments him with this fact by playing it on replay. This is the final nail in the coffin that destroys Dave's sanity. As he isn't in his right mind all he can think about is revenge even if it means lashing out against an innocent bystander (Shawn).
