I disagree with most of what you said. I'll explain why:

''"It's the zombie episode, Shawn should have been the main focus." and "They're still dragging out the tedious zombie references. Making Shawn confuse Chris robots for zombies and crocodiles for zombies. If you would point towards a banana and shout the word zombie Shawn would totally fall for it. Isn't he supposed to be a zombie expert?"'' "2. Max's elimination, it was forced, rushed, pathetic. Chris basically just eliminated Max because he got annoyed with him." "They force in a last minute plot where she starts an alliance with Sugar who betrays her almost immediately and unnecessary (btw didn't they already start one last episode?" and "It was necessary to have this plot because until these two last episodes Sugar had zero interactions with Sky, an insignificant one with Shawn and Sky hasn't interacted with Shawn ... ever. So the top 3 is pretty awkward, none of them have much to do with each other."
 * I agree that he should've had more focus, but I can see where they're coming from. Shawn is obviously very paranoid and he is doing anything possible to survive the "zombie apocalypse." He did exactly as he did before - ditch everyone and run for cover. He really wouldn't try to fight them when he knows that the chance of him living is very slim. The only time he did that was when Jasmine was in danger.
 * I agree with this, but his elimination was needed. At this point he was seriously overstaying his welcome and if he wasn't eliminated in this episode then he would've been eliminated with Jasmine. I love Max, but he wasn't getting any funnier and didn't have any other important interactions other than Scarlett and maybe Sugar.
 * It was not forced. Sky and Sugar have had tension between them for a while and while it's not all that noticable - it's there. Sugar has been trying to get in between Dave and Sky's "relationship" for a while and is always interrupting their moments together. Obviously that's annoying to Sky. Also, Shawn and Sky don't interact much but they are considered friends. It's similar to Gwen and Owen or Beth and Duncan.
