This is a production reason. I was refering to in-universe reason of his silence.

Well, they planned a challenge from Food Fright for original version of Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!, but dropped the idea for time reasons. But I think Staci would make it to the second episode anyway due to the "Truth or" title and challenge that obviously refered to her lying tendency in the original version and most likely caused her elimination.

I think Scott would focus on his "Team Killer" strategy anyway. And it's just a 13 episodes season. Keep in mind Mike and Zoey needed some bonding and Anne Maria getting in a way, so I doubt they could add Scott's manipulation of them at the same time.
