They really could've used those extra 18 minutes. I'd understand if the scenes were more or less useless filler, but these scenes sound like they really could've helped pace the finale better and fill in some of the gaps that a lot of the audience wanted to try and better understand the ending.
The Ted/Robin lunch scene especially, as it would've helped clarify that situation. The wedding scene would've brought some nice comic relief early in the episode and a little more payoff to the entire wedding buildup. And the bet scene wouldn't have hurt either. I don't understand why they didn't just make the finale 1.5 hours, as an additional 18 minutes would've filed up an extra half hour slot perfectly.

Or they could have given us a lot of that stuff by trimming 18 minutes worth of useless scenes (in retrospect) from this season.
