User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 4)/@comment-30926951-20141030021418/@comment-31556666-20141030110719

Scott being 6th actually would've been perfect because while there was 7 remaining players, the kiss between Cameron and Courtney happened. If Scott was eliminated in the episode afterwards, then the relationship wouldn't have fallen as much. You could've easily have had it that Scott forgave Courtney, but Mal influences him otherwise. That would explain the random plan he gave to Cameron in the previous episode - it would be a plan where he'd take out Cameron before getting rid of Scott.
