Again, I think that sounds like a pretty solid finale. And if they DO have the time to let us vote for the winner (unlikely, but still ideal), then I could DEFINITELY see the Cadets pulling off that win. The Friends, to me, would be like Beth in TDA - obviously the writers' choice for the win, the obvious canon/written winner - but would NEVER win the popular vote.
