There was no way he could vote Owen off in The Ex-Files. Duncan blackmailed him into not voting for him next time they're team lost if Duncan saves his life from an alien. So who can Alejandro possibly vote then if he's not voting Owen, but also secure he's safe? He can't vote Owen because Duncan and Tyler would never agree to that. So he had to vote off Tyler because that's the only person Duncan could realistically vote and he could hypnotize Owen into voting Tyler. Yes, it does sound like him not getting rid of him just because the plot said so but I don't see why plot convenience should be a complaint. All stories have situations that's meant to lead to another one in order for it to progress. And even if they didn't include Duncan blackmailing Alejandro, there was still no way he could get rid of Owen. Duncan and Tyler would never vote off him because of they're passionate hatred to each other.

If Alejandro looked weak is he not just another Justin villain and therefore really is a Justin clone then? Cause I don't see why Alejandro should be a weaker villain who's also comic relief because another character already did all that. The point of making Alejandro have all these skills was to present the biggest obstacle yet for the cast in the three seasons, and an adversary for Heather to overcome. If he was equal to her, he'd just be a clone of her so it makes sense to make him this genius who's very difficult to outsmart, which is probably why they made him a finalist.
