I can explain that fairly easily actually.

In my eyes, the guys controlled the vote on the Bass. If Courtney goes out first, there's nobody left to challenge Duncan's rule. With Geoff and the guys teaching Ezekiel what he did wrong and trying to apolgize, he's no longer the immediate target. Add the fact that the Bass were the superior team and Zeke makes the merge.

From there, why would anyone vote him out? Harold was the main person Duncan had a conflict with, Geoff was the target of Heather's plan, Lindsay was target of the new guy's allaince, and Leshawna was auto-eliminated.
