This episode was half good and half bad as a finale, the good part is Jasmine and Shawn, their whole plot for the episode, the way they end up together, and Shawn really deserved his place in the finale! (So glad he won in Italy :D) They both offered the best scenes and, also, I liked how they kept Shawn a little selfish about the split of the prize and did a direct continuity with his decision in a "Blast from the Past", where Jasmine feeling betrayed decided to become selfish and only focused on the game. Brilliant was the way it was all solved and how opposite Jasmine and Shawn confronted each Others instead of the two "kids" Dave and Sky. They were the sorrow part to watch. Aside from Chris being a complete jerk, dingus, souless a******le, the way how Sky acted underlined how immature she is (not as much as Dave): not only she had never found the courage so far to spit out the truth about Keith but also prefered to keep it hidden because she "needed his help to win", pulling out a kiss of convenience that gave him the real wrong illusion. Since then, it was all a painful downfall for Dave, the unluckiest pain magnet seen in the series, why they had to turn him bald? Mah. Free cruelty from the Writers. I don't blame him for hating Sky after all the troubles he has come through for her.

This season was the first where the karma bites the wrong characters and makes Sky a really hateful winner in spite of the heroine and positive role she was given in the series. As much I agree with you about how terrible and forced seemed Skave, and how really toxic was Dave in love mood, they should have found a way to punish both the characters, and not only exclusively Dave, novel Ezekiel and, worse, even a love victim (like Trent). Sky should have won but lost the prize in some way and Chris should have been just buried under the avalanche.

By the way, despite the numerous flaws, I fairly enjoyed this episode, and Jashawn offered unique scenes enough to entertain and cover the bad writing on Skave.
