Well, it's season finale time, and I've seen some good reactions to finales and some really pissed-off reactions. So I was just curious ... anybody feel like venting about any finale that's made you angry? Squeeing over great entertainment is one thing, but complaints and bitching are far more amusing. ;)

Stumbled in here from Friend's Friends and felt the need to contribute... hope you don't mind...

There was one part of TAR's finale that pissed me off beyond beilef. The flight from Puerto Rico to Miami. You know some producer picked up a phone and called their partner at American Airlines and said, "Help! If these people(Joyce/Uchena) don't get on the flight then we have no compelling end to the show" No airline is going to blow their on time departure rating without a really REALLY good reason, and two standby passengers with a film crew doesn't strike me as a good reason to put the jetbridge back out and reopen the plane.

Other than that the finale was good by me.

Don't mind at all - what is LJ if not a public forum?

And you raise a good point about the whole flight thing - I was disappointed that U/J won that way instead of a proper race, but I wouldn't have wanted Romber to just waltz to the finish line, either. And while I think the cameras probably contributed to AA pulling the plane back (mainly to give themselves positive publicity), I don't think a producer got involved. After the whole quiz show scandal of the 50's producers do NOT want to influence an outcome at all. Unless you're Mark Burnett :P

I highly doubt the producers had anything to do with Uchenna and Joyce getting on the flight. Often the pilots do actually have a lot of power in deciding who to let on a flight (just watch a few episodes of A&E's Airline). And considering all the bad stuff that has happened on that show that went on wihtout interference, like Freddy and Kendra winning last season and the whole Jonathan and Victoria debacle, I can't see the produers getting involved this season.
