For me it was a tainted win, because no matter how I look at it I will still feel bad for the other alliances.

A coin flip? Really? It's not like 16, 25, and 180 didn't have their own problems. Sure, there were issues, and there are reasons to be upset, but to call their win "tainted" is actually really disrespectful. They won and they shouldn't feel bad about winning. The only thing that this is accomplishing is doing exactly that, making the winning alliance question their win. The best thing to do right now is to congratulate everyone on their performance, and make sure in the future, we don't need to have these discussions.
