That doesn't change the fact that it happened, and it's really subjective to apply the term "filler" to a show like Total Drama. Filler originally referred to additional scenes put into anime that were not included in manga, in order to take up more time. Total Drama is the original thing so it wouldn't have true fillers.

Also whether that was considered filler is completely opinionated. A lot of people thought Beth was intended to be the finalist from the beginning, so that meant the Beth-Courtney conflict was already planned out and wouldn't have been filler. Beth and Courtney already had an established conflict episodes ago, alongside the Courtney-Lindsay conflict (since they did everything together, just like the Justin thing). It doesn't seem very fair to automatically label what you don't like as being filler. It could have easily been that they thought Lindsay had enough time with the antagonist last season, and it was Beth's turn. I'm not saying I liked Lindsay's elimination, but that doesn't make it filler.

Some people find Beth "annoying" which is a somewhat acceptable reason, since that's based on opinion, but you should distort facts to bias against characters you don't like.
