Not always--someone who only scores 3-3-3-2 or worse in the first 4 tasks is not likely to win off of the final. By the same right, anyone who scores 4-4-4-5 or better is going to win even if they fail the last task, most the time. There's a very real possibility of going into the final task with a score like 1-5-3-1 and the final only getting you up to 15, which other people could have overcome. Obviously, with the point spread we had in this episode, it didn't really matter as it was still anyone's game, but I'm not all that miffed about the final task being as heavily weighted as it was.

I really do wish this had been multiple episodes (three episodes feels like the optimal length for a CoC, personally), but honestly, I am really happy for Richard Herring. He's long been (unfairly) denigrated as people's least favourite winner, but I have such a soft spot for him, and considering his health issues at the time he had been filming this, I am really happy he got this bit of positivity, and was able to claim the title. :)
