At least with Mal you tell that he was always meant to be the villain, whereas Sugar being the "Villain" feels like something they added late into production for two reasons:

1. They eliminated Scarlett (the real villain for that season) before at least the 2nd to last episode and wanted to continue the "Villain makes it to at least the Final 3" trend that has gotten very old by this point.

2. A poorly written justification for how far she made it since prior to this she was essentially just a comic relief while also showing that she has no redeemable qualities to speak of (eliminating Ella wasn't an antagonistic move, it was just her being a completely selfish sellout). This also leads to her being a "Villain" working against her because of her constant flip-flopping of "Villain"/comic relief make it next to impossible for her to be taken seriously (at least Mal was supposed to be taken seriously).
