Vote skips are fine. They're better off being available at the start of finales. If there is ANY chance that the game is going to be unwinnable for the losing team, then it will be great to have a skip vote at the very beginning of the finale. Otherwise, it feels like playing the finale is a waste of time if the vote passes by the time the second round starts.
Edit: I'm not sure if we can get skip votes if there are players that don't want to play a finale, such as the Concert, because they are bored by it.
