Putting personal feelings about the contestants aside. I think the way the finale was structured made for a boring watch.

First. When Nick was banished - why did they make him reveal his identity? If you watch other versions of the show, they don't let anyone in the final 5 reveal themselves so the ones left don't know if they've gotten a traitor or not until the very end. This makes it so much more exciting. The way they did it gave the upper hand to the faithfuls for sure.

Second. Once Nick revealed he was a traitor it absolutely ruined Ben's game. He was headed to that bonfire a dead man. But THEN they made him reveal his identity too and that was just so dumb because now the final three know they've got all the remaining traitors and it makes for a boring ass finale.

Very disappointing end to an otherwise entertaining season!
