Two words: Kandrona starvation. He didn't even want to try it.

And then what? What to do with Karen with groups of controllers trying to track her down?

Revealing that the Ellimist "stacked the deck"

That nearly dethroningly sucked the whole series in my eyes
Something, something, oh crap I pissed everyone off again....

Jake <- Flushing 17,000 unslaved Yeerks

Edit:
Actually, I sympathized with him, and even thought it was completely justified. I also thought he had every right to enjoy it. It's amazing, but I can't really think of a Dethroning Moment of Suck for Jake.
For me that was the most disgusted I ever got with Jake. How many Yeerks in that pool were with the Yeerk Peace Movement? Sure he regrets the decision later but 17,000 unarmed lives were lost on a whim. Do you know how many 17,000 is? 9/11 cost 3000 lives? That's more than 5, 9/11s for a distraction!!

I only wrote the one line (unedited) because for the others nothing stands out quite as much as Jake's decision.

Another Jake moment of suck: The Conspiracy: Jake failing to take advantage of a golden opportunity to free his brother Tom, who was going to be alone with him and his parents for FOUR DAYS!  I gather that the Yeerks were expecting Tom to die, so Jake could have arranged for Tom to be sent to the Hork-Bajir valley for de-Yeerking, and faked his death!  When Tom's leg got broken, the Animorphs did a suck moment when they had the Chee take Tom back to town when they could have had Tom taken to the HB valley, and had the Chee fake a medivac helicopter crash.

Cassie suck: Allowing Tom to take the morphing cube.
