From seeing the ending, I really don't think the Bad Guys were ever really in it. I don't understand how it would help the team to have more people in the end. The last couple shows (inferno, gauntlet, etc), the team with the fewer people have won since they do the team things and need everyone to cross. Obviously it would be easier to have less people to do that. Not that I wanted the bad guys to win, I just felt that the last challenge was really one-sided and didn't have too much suspense to it at all.
