User blog comment:VeryUnknownFan/"Conveniences" that made players last a lot longer than usual (whether by writing, production, etc)./@comment-1376932-20170522003136/@comment-1376932-20170522011357

You're right, a lot of the time the characters don't take consistency into consideration during the voting process. Up until Paintball Deer Hunter, Cody was a fairly decent player; despite his lack of physical prowess, he was strong in the dodgeball challenge, didn't have any major conflicts, and even saved Trent and Lindsay from drowning in quicksand.

But nooo, the second he gets mauled he's voted off. And over Heather. I think you were right to include him on this list (Beth too, though her situation I can understand more).

Anyways, my point was that the way the characters vote typically depends on the circumstances of the episode but Justin may have very well voted for someone who didn't compete in the talent show. I disagree with Not Quite Famous being on this list for that reason alone, and I thought the fact that Heather explained it in the confessional salvaged it from being totally unreasonable.
