I personally think they really dropped the ball with this finale. Not only did the writers pull out every trick in the book to let Owen win in what is obviously the intended ending which I ignore, but it was cheap and biased. Owen wants to throw a party? Everyone sides with him. Owen can't climb the pole? Just let everyone push him up while Gwen had to do her climb by herself, which was harder due to Heather's sabotage. Owen has bowel issues? It won't matter, because he'll still be able to keep up with Gwen anyways. Owen is way behind? Just let Izzy and Lindsay rig the final stretch. It was basically a 10 to 1 battle with Trent by Gwen's side the whole time, but only interfering to clean the pole and even the difficulty level to make it fair. And in the end, Gwen loses a ridiculously unfair fight when the party would still happen anyways. Nothing changes in Gwen's ending except an extra conversation with Trent and the writers pet loses. I could go into Action and how this affects it, but I'm judging this as a sole season and not part of a whole, seeing as how it's the first after all.

Aside from that mess, the writing was pretty subpar barring Heather, LeShawna, and Gwent. The losers didn't have anything to do other than cheer and cheat for Owen. Overall, one of Island's worst episodes and a mediocre finale compared to that of WT and ROTI, but not as bad as others.

Good thing the TRUE finale is my favorite TD episode ever! :D
