This actually makes me feel sad. It just isn't right. Lets forget about us for a second and the fact that we won't be in control and probably have to see someone we don't want win by default. But lets think about the HMs, imagine how let down they'd feel that their friends have backstabbed them, in order for them to leave, to no one, to no interview, to no crowd, no paparazzi.
It's brutal. It would have been understandable if the beginning of the series we were told it would be US style, but we have invested our time (and some people, their money) into these people.
