Sam was only eliminated because he cheated and thus costed his team the challenge. Mal had nothing to do with his decision to cheat. Neither with him going to Boney Island back in second episode, which caused Sam's decision.

It was Mal who convinced the others to vote for Al, so yeah, this one's actually the most blatant example of elimination caused by Mal.
