Well, again: Mike didn't officially win Season 5. He was only the winner in America. I'm still kinda unsure of who the canon/written winner is supposed to be, and we won't have an official winner until the Canadian ending.

@Codykins: Theoretically, if every episode was written better, the series would be perfect. The fact is that some episodes are beautifully written, while others just fall horribly flat. This episode...fell flat. Yes, I enjoyed Mike and Zoey's first kiss, as well as Alejandro and Heather's kiss. Even the little Cameron/Gwen moment was kinda cute. But nonetheless, this is easily one of the worst finales ever. Only the TDWT finale is worse.

@AwesomeTD: I agree. TDR should've been the season where Mike went to the end, as he was clearly the main character, the protagonist, the dramatic center, got the most development, and was easily the one central character who connected everyone together (Cameron's best friend, Zoey's boyfriend/crush, his rivalry with Scott, etc., etc.). This season, I would've preferred a final two of both women (to keep with the cliche-breaking started by TDR's guy-guy finale), and to fulfill the ultimately even, fair cliche of an all-star season like this, it should've been one original vs. one TDR newbie. My ideal final two in that category would be Jo vs. Courtney.
