The mere fact that Zoey saved Staci and said thank you to Brick doesn't really help her character. Those are just common nice things to do. Heck, Courtney, a generally mean-spirited character, was the only person who attempted to help Owen and Izzy after being crushed by a plane. Every character on the show, in one way or another, has been nice.

LMAO, Noah was only in the game for 4 episodes. There were also 21 other contestants in those episodes. So obviously there wasn't any need to develop a character who was being eliminated early in the first place! Zoey however, was present in every episode of her season and her indie-chick persona never showed up once! Anne Maria definitely did live up to her stereotype. She was frequently tanning, speaking in a Jersey accent and hot headed.

Zoey was frequently focused on Mike and Mike alone. He was the only character she had any major interaction with up until his elimination. Once he was gone, Zoey was furious at Scott for getting rid of Mike. She was then only focused on eliminating Scott for voting off Mike and even went INSANE because a medal with his face on it was destroyed.

Zoey and Mike's relationship is meant to be seen as "the new TrentxGwen". So why is it that after Mike is eliminated, Zoey goes insane? But when Trent was eliminated, Gwen managed to keep her head held high, focus on the game and made it to the finale? I'll tell you why. Because Zoey only cares about MIKE.

You appear to be upset that Zoey saved Cameron in episode 12. But wasn't that an example of her displaying that NICENESS of her personality that you mentioned earlier?

And Leshawna only voted off Gwen because she was acting strange, keeping things to herself, and hurt Harold for what seemed like no reason. Zoey voted off Dakota because she was afraid she'd be killed by her.
