At least this time, Lindsay didn't vote against herself out of absurd idiocy. She voted against herself because she wanted out.

I'm also liking the season as a whole, although I've had quite enough the whole "Alejandro is a superhuman who can do anything" shtick, and Sam's elimination may have set a record for sheer contrivedness. Granted, I was expecting Sam to be out before the merge because he didn't have any storylines, but still.

Speaking of lacking storylines, that's been the common factor in all the eliminations to date. I'm guessing that Cameron will go soon, because he doesn't really have any storylines this season, so he's basically filler. In like vein, how long Sierra remains will depend mainly on how long the writers think they can milk the whole "Cody withdrawal" thing. Duncan likewise seems peripheral this season. Zoey doesn't really seem to have a strong storyline of her own, but she's likely be play an important part in Mike's--either helping somehow to subdue Evil Mike, or else getting backstabbed by Evil Mike to show us how evil he is.

On the Villains side, only Scott lacks a clearly defined storyline, but I think it's too soon for him to go. The writers seem to be trying to rehabilitate him into an antagonist that we can actually respect, and so far they seem to be doing a decent job.
