This was a little more clearly defined. TJ had the definitive lead due to Tayleigh and Shinji over estimating each other's scores and over cursing each other. Sam's idea was still giving Shinji a shot by completing his "villain arc" by choosing to betray TJ for the win. IIRC they left it to an audience vote but TJ had the overwhelming support behind him to vote that TJ should just get the W. So ultimately they just decided to end it on a boxing match where TJ would win regardless of the outcome.It's unclear if Shinji would have actually won the show if he'd defeated TJ because there was no tie after the gauntlet. There was a short talk between Sam and Jet about Shinji not having enough points to win even if he won the boxing match.
Some opinion added, to be fair Shinji's villain arc was greatly exaggerated by Sam and Jet towards the end. The most villainous thing he did were mogging Trish during the bed building challenge but expressed he felt bad about it later. And he took some points away from TJ during the swamp Olympics but not enough for it to feel like a complete backstab
