This was clearly a decision made at the start of the season.

Poor wording on my part (thanks, nyquil). I didn't mean to suggest that this was something that they decided after the season was underway. I just thought the whole concept of having three finalists was lame. I kind of felt bad for Becky, having to sit there through all the cheering without getting a single vote.

And I definitely think Ozzie was more deserving, although Yul was a very close second and fine competitor. I just think that Ozzie did an absolutely piss poor job of making his case in front of the jury. Certainly not a dumb guy, but he didn't sound like he put any thought into his answers and I think it cost him. He certainly could have persuaded one person.
