I agree that Zeke should have NEVER been the first eliminated. Courtney refused to participate; Ezekiel just expressed his own beliefs. Heck, he even stated that his FATHER told him that he should watch out for the girls. His FATHER told him that; i.e., he was RAISED that way. Those were his beliefs. Heck, that's the equivalent of voting someone out because they're a Catholic!

...(cools down). Sorry; I can't help but rant about that topic. And I'm off-topic anyway. I guess you're right; that first elimination alone changed the course of the whole game. But I'd like to focus on what would've happened to Zeke if he hadn't been eliminated first. Heck, if he wasn't voted out first; he would've WON instead of Owen! ...But that's just my opinion.
