Because Cameron and Zoe were so much more deserving?
The favourite of the series gave plenty of reasons every night that only made people love him more. I highly doubt the reason kenaley didn’t do well was purely because she gave tones of reasons to get evicted. Not saying it’s because of what she stated in the article but the eviction order this series wasn’t telling of how awful or undeserving the evictees were imo. Even the best bits on YouTube most of the comments are praising Anamelia and Tomasz

Both Zoe and Cameron didn't face the public vote until the final. I think it was obvious from the very first days that Kenaley is a non-entity at most a supporting act and not a main character. Her eviction was prominent.
Both her and (white) Brooke didn't get enough support in the public poll, but it was only slightly luckier for Brooke (who was more positive, more loved in the house but eventually got evicted first in the final vote).
Isaac was evicted one week before her, but I don't think people would blame it on him being black (because he wasn't a good housemate and that's about it). The same goes for the first couple of evictees being white. I'm not speaking about my personal taste, but all four of them were reasonable enough.
Lewis F was far more interesting than Kenaly, had far more charisma than her, far more dominant and interesting and yes, an eye candy for an audience which is consists a fair share of females and gays - all in all, he stood better chance. Not all polarizing housemates did well on BB, white or black.

Generally speaking, in my opinion, BB's representation of black women was poor. Not in terms of figures, but most of them weren't that good and those who were big characters were understandably disliked by being the same old "black loud diva" template which is controversial (Toya, Natalie, Charley, Sue and the list goes on). Very stereotypical imo. I wish there were more housemates like Deborah for example.
