Yes, and for the most part I agreed with your analysis. I don't think he should've ever lasted that long, let along make it to the finals. And his conflict with Cameron was too little too late. That was way too last minute an excuse for him making it that far, and a very shallow one at that. An unsurprisingly shortsighted move on part of the writers. You could perhaps even argue that he stole Jo's spotlight because it was her who was at odds with Cameron long before Lightning even acknowledged the guy. She's a character who would make a totally legitimate finalist. Why it was Lightning in the end is anybody's guess.

He has his funny moments, but if someone tells me "Lightning is the greatest character on the show", it's something I'm simply not going to take seriously. I just don't see where that comes from because those moments were too few and far between. And I don't appreciate a character with so little or zero story, and a bare-minimum characterization making it that far.
