Well I didn't know if you prefer Dri or your full username... lol

But yeah as The Treasure Island of Dr. McClean clearly showed us, Scott was planting seeds of doubt in Zoey's head about Mike combined with Mike's own unwillingness to tell Zoey the truth. Scott had a hand in their rift so you gotta give him some cred for that. In Grand Chef Auto, um how would Zoey have won over Scott at that time? She got a head start, Scott caught up to her and threw his spray can at her, basically costing her the win. It was strategy and Scott had her beat in the episode even if he had to use Mike.

About the failed attempts at throwing challenges, I think it only took him like once or twice for his "throwing challenge" scheme to work plus it helped him a lot that his team(Toxic Rats) were pretty hopeless on their own especially after he got rid of B which was a good move on his part since B's godplaying would have been dangerous at the merge and why would B quit? Dawn learned about his true intentions and to keep her mouth shut, he swiftly got rid of her. It's 50/50 his fault as much as it is her fault as well.
