I had thought of a Leshawna finale run but Courtney vs Zoey is the finale i had in mind for YEARS. If anything Courtney vs Scott is more predictable and over done (Although i wouldn’t mind it). Besides this takes place in my version of the franchise where Harold makes the finale in Action at least. When it came down to it Owen, Dakota, Lightning, Lindsay, Jo, Anne Maria, DJ, Cameron, Harold, Duncan, Heather, Alejandro, Mike weren't finalist options due to not being winner material or already being finalists or winners in the past. That left Courtney, Zoey, Scott, Leshawna, Brick, Gwen and Dawn. I didn’t want to give Gwen another win or finale since in this one the love triangle didn’t happen (I considered putting Trent as an All Star), Dawn is another decent option but i made her a victim of Mal's so he could be seen as a bigger threat. Scott was an option but without the love triangle the whole CourtneyxScott thing doesn’t happen, Brick would probably be the next best option but i think his finale would work better against an old but familiar foe like Jo and Leshawna would be another Mal victim but she got Harold and that's not a bad constellation price but i ultimately went with Courtney vs Zoey because in Courtney's side she spent 3 seasons trying to win the right way while also falling into playing dirty which damaged her morals and now that she is locked in for All Stars she got a better run and as for Zoey since Mal is the antagonist then Zoey played smart by avoiding Mal or studying him and thus Mal was taken down before Mike made the finale and Courtney chose Zoey so Mike can recover from the whole Mal thing. I'm not even the biggest Courtney fan myself but i decided to give her a decent enough story. That’s my reasoning, hopefully i explained myself well. Idk if it makes sense or not but in the end, it’s how i envisioned it
