I weren't very keen on Lewis F for most of the series, but I do believe that we should've been shown why he was ejected so that we could see/hear the conversation in context.
It definitely was convenient how removing Lewis helped Cameron win who the production loved, it's funny how things work out.
Tbf though I would gladly go back to that time rather than what we're currently in at the moment, even if Lewis F, Cameron, and Zoe could all piss me off sometimes.
