This... this... this... THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST INSULTING SERIES FINALE EVER!!!

I'm not joking. Usually, the finale is when the show workers do their best, but this one is the EXACT OPPOSITE. They give their worst for this finale that we've worried dearly about.

Let's see where the bad parts in the story goes.
In the start, we already get some cliche story setup that we've seen a couple of times, and the way that Mike and his alter egos go to the tower is BORING and LAZILY set up that it looks anti climactic, but it gets worse as the story goes further.
Then we get to the part where Mike, I mean MAL, and Zoey have to free the previous contestants trapped in, wait for it, FART FILLED BALLONS filled by Owen of all people after eating deep fried beans. Now that's cruel. But it gets crueler. As the freeing end, those who are still trapped in the bubble... GOT FREAKING BLOWN AWAY TO OBLIVION. THAT'S CRUEL BEYOND BELIEVE. Note: According to the staff, their balloons popped in different places, but that's still cruel.
Now, we get to the challenge. This has got to be the most messed up part. Other than OBVIOUS life threatening situations, it seems to be too plain for a finale.
And then we get to the worst parts.
We get to see Mike finally getting cured of his MPD. How? BY PRESSING A FREAKING RESET BUTTON, AND HE DID IT IN THE MOST ANTI-CLIMACTIC WAY POSSIBLE. WHAT THE FREAK IS THIS? I'm offended dreadfully because this scene tells me I need to press a button to solve my issues? Oh, freak you All-Stars.
And after all this, we finally get to the winner, and the fact that the island IS FREAKING DESTROYED BY A FRACKING MACHINE THAT MAKES A MOAT! YEAH, VERY FUNNY! HAHAHAHA!!! (Sarcasm) Also, TD gets a new season, which is better than this season.
Then we go to the aftermath, where Heather and Alejandro are chased by sharks and the rest goes off well. Then Owen concluded the episode by saying it's the best episode ever, that's the biggest irony I've ever heard because All-Stars was a**ed right there.

Now we go to the characters:
Mike here is portrayed as an overly idealistic character. He's way too unrealistic to say the least, and he offended many MPD victims with a button. I know some people like can get over with it, but it's still scarring right there. He's basically what The Legend of Korra's Mako will be if the writers force his romance too hard. Without his MPD, Mike is simply a blank slate. Also, you want to see his character done right, watch the aforementioned Mako from The Legend of Korra, he has better personality, story, and design, and everything Mike lacks hard.
Zoey here is portrayed as a Mary Sue. She's over-idealistic, as she is pretty, skilled, and the girl you want your girl to be, as in perfect. Also, another thing to note about Mary Sues is that they're flawless, but when they do have flaws, it derails them hard or isn't a bad thing. Zoey manages to win consecutively in previous episodes, yet she ends up being a damsel in distress out of force and the ONLY reason why it takes until the penultimate episode to know that Mal is in control is because of EXTREME DUMBING DOWN OF CHARACTER and CLICHE REVEALS. And I like to point this out: A one-gimmick satellite character is superior than her, and her name is Miki from the Katamari game series.
Then we go to Cameron and Gwen, who are way off the rails from what they used to be. Heck, Gwen kiss Cameron to kick-start a potential shipping. Yeah, the nerd gets a hot girl cliche, done wrong. And don't bring up the Mordecai x Stef argument. That pairing was made to show development and stuff, Cameron x Gwen is a desperate attempt to regain Gwen fans back.
Alejandro and Heather... don't get me into them. What used to be impressive and awesome villains, are now mopey dopey love birds. They are also off the rails as well.
Then Chris. He's no longer the Chris we know and love and is reduced to a sadist embodiment.
Finally, Mal. You know, Mal should be the winner, because he's pretty much the thing that keeps All Stars going. This is an occasion where a bad ending WOULD be the best thing to end the season, especially when the main characters are awful.

I like to point out that this season is horrible because of the ZOKE shipping. You see, in stories, romance can be used to increase the fandom's desire to continue watching. However, misusing it will cause plot tumors. This is evident when you watch the worst episodes of Regular Show that involves Mordercai x Margaret/CJ, but thankfully, Regular Show stopped doing that. Zoke here is an example of how NOT to make a shipping. They're, as said very well, is fake, toxic, forced, deceptive, disgusting, lustful, loveless, unromantic, shallow, undeveloped, and overrated. Just watch TD ROTI and All Stars and pay attention to how well done the shipping is done, if you know professional writing of course.

Also, the 13 episodes excuse shouldn't be a thing, since The Legend of Korra managed to make a great story with 13 episodes each season.

This is how NOT to make a season finale. It's one of the worst out there, but it's slightly better than Drawn Together: The Movie.

Cringe-Inducing Audio: 3 (Some sounds are out of hand.)
Cringe-Inducing Visuals: 5 (Some scenes are pretty out of hand.)
Lackluster Writing: 10 (I only see weak string on the writing.)
Annoyance: 10 (Pro TD fans aren't going to enjoy this episode.)
Disturbing Content: 8 (Implications of contestants getting blown off? Yeah, worthy of disturbance)
Unnecesary Cruelty: 10 (Fart balloons and blown off? TOO CRUEL. Getting chased by a shark after losing despite HARDLY BEING EVIL? Out of hand.)
Rancid Morality: 10 (Reset Button for mental disorders? VERY FUNNY (Sarcasm))
Low Production Values: 3 (Efforts? Let's use sparsely)
Unfortunate Implications: 10 (Mental Reset Button. You gotta have those. (Sarcasm))
Character Derailment: 9 (Only Mike seems to be intact, and even then, everyone is screw loose)

Final Score: 78/100
