Difference is because people hated Zoey and didn't want her to go far, but she still did. And she shouldn't have the capability of going far to begin with.

But I know what you mean. There are quite a few challenges they complete without any effort at all. Esp. in Brazilian Pain Forest where they finish the headdress after just arriving.
