Because the writers apparently like cringeworthy plots like that and because they wanted to keep the "curse" going to give them an excuse to obliterate Team Victory.

As logical as your question is, basically, questions like this or other questions like why weren't Broadway Baby and Am-AH-Zon Race elimination episodes can be summed up with: because they mold eliminations around those with plot. Honestly, the writers just do whatever they feel like hence why they kept Team Amazon basically intact the Love Triangle drama could happen.
