I didn't even expect Zeke to make it this far, but now I realize why the writers cut him where they did. I'm going to go over each of the possible times Zeke could have been eliminated past Not So Happy Campers.

Dodgebrawl: He would had to get more votes than an Eva who Lost it over her MP3 in that very episode. It wasn't going to happen.

The Sucky Outdoors: He would have had to lose to Katie or Sadie, who cost their team the challenge and had been annoying.

Up the Creek: Wouldn't have mattered because Izzy got disqualified.

Who Can You Trust?: This is the only episode he could've gotten the boot in but I think both Harold and Sadie would have bigger targets than him (especially since Sadie had no alliances).

Basic Straining: Even if Zeke was going to get the boot, Harold would have rigged the votes.

No Pain No Game: Harold wasn't immune, so Zeke had nothing to be worried about.

Search and Do Not Destroy: The other time he was close to getting the boot, but Geoff obviously had a bigger target. Maybe the writers would've had him act on his crush on Bridgette to get the boot, but how would Heather know about that and what would she gain from that over getting Geoff booted (who's a bigger threat).

Hide and Be Sneaky: He was a guy, so he was protected by their alliance.
