Sugar got eliminated over singing while she got a person disqualified for singing, she lost to her alliance partner that she betrayed in the previous episode. Her love intrest got eliminated because she insisted he took Sky's place. Everything she did wrong somehow got back to her (besides maybe pushing the tree on Jasmine), and mostly in a way that was directly connected to her actions. It's karma in a more subtle and effective way, which I personally prefer over having the antagonist get away with everything during the season and then nearly killing them at the end in a way that isn't even connected to their actions. Like ending up in lava, being mauled by a shark or entirely wiped out (reset) from existence,... .

2. I think being eliminated for a stupid reason is ok as long as it's written well. Ella for example, being disqualified for singing was a stupid reason but her elimination was one of the best ever and it came at the right time. Imagine if she got eliminated two episodes earlier for not being able to shock the other team therefore losing the challenge. It would have been more fair, but so bland and predictable.
