Well it makes total sense to do it like this. As you pointed out, he did jack in this season, so making him a finalist was a silly idea and I can't say I understand why they let him advance so far while doing nothing with him. But on the upside, Cameron's ending was the chosen ending for almost every country the season aired in, minus the U.S., so his is ostensibly the actual ending.

Like I said, his conflict with Jo was far more defined. One of the big changes the season could've benefitted from was eliminating Lightning in Up, Up and Away and letting Jo advance further, if we went by the elimination order that was actually carried out.

Besides, with the lack of female winners, a male vs. male finale wasn't a smart move.
