The best finale in a long time - all three had a genuine shot of winning rather than one just being dragged to be beaten. One of the best speeches from a finalist ever, so happy with the result. So much grace too in the reunions with the early evictees on her part.
Yes, Kyle getting top 3 was a bit WTF but not a surprise there was a movement to support him for all the wrong reasons though in a way glad he got a little bit of reassurance that he wasn't universally hated, even if the votes were misguided.
Nice set in the backyard for the finale - far better than the actual studio. Was surprised they weren't up front though given the audience is back and although they did the backyard finale for All Stars I thought they'd returned to the front of the house last year. Not seen any post-finale pics yet but I'd be surprised if Julie didn't go to meet the HGs, especially the finalists, afterwards.
