First of all, the point to earn freebies is to escape tortures that other campers pass to you. The challenge itself was actually built right and wasn't flawed.

This challenge might seem just like surviving tortures, but Gwen made a great strategical move and that's why Heather had a disadvantage the whole challenge, Heather could've done the exact same deal with Owen and get Gwen out, so her disadvantage seems fair.

The only wrong thing I can say is that Heather did lose unfairly, but I think the writers just decided to do that this way so she'd get her karma of losing her hair for nothing.

I have one question though, why didn't Gwen agree to buy Owen a box of doughnuts even if she'd win, that would be much smarter of her. But I guess the writers just had to give Owen half a millon dollars even if Gwen's ending is counted (although it didn't matter cause the winner doesn't get the money anyway).
