It's either the necklace or that they just wanted a brain vs brawn finale. I mean, even if they didn't want a girl to be in it, the brawn could've easily just been Brick, who is hands down a 10x better character than Lightning. Though I would personally just stick with Jo.

I really don't like Lightning as an individual character and I personally don't care about Cameron, but even I can admit Lightning wasn't any more deserving than he was. Cameron developed and did something, Lightning was just a one note joke and I dislike it when comic relief characters make the finale, which is the same problem I have with Owen.

The finalist choosings were really quite odd, but not as bad as ROTI and AS. Owen was...tolerable in TDI but he didn't deserve it at all. TDA was okay, even though Beth in my opinion was a really boring finalist. Then you got the TDWT finale with the biggest baddies Heather and Alejandro. I think that's probably the best finalist pairing on the show. At least both deserved their spots in the finale. Both worked hard for it. And the thing that bugs me is when people say Cody deserved it more than Al did, but I beg to differ. He coasted through the season carried by Sierra, who unfortunately was another letdown character.

Yeah I don't wanna reitrate my opinion on Mike and Zoey either. Easilly the worst finale in TD history.

But to each their own, I've only been disappointed in the choosings for the TDROTI and TDAS finalists. Everything else turned out great. In my personal opinion, both finalists of a season have to be whelming, developed, relevant, and work their way to the finale. Lightning, Mike, Zoey, and Owen were all bad, underwhelming finalists. I'd still call Mike and Zoey the worst finalists, and Lightning and Owen were less problametic but still terrible choices.
