But the difference is when contestants were at Redemption Island in Survivor, they were still in the game, they were voted off yes but still playing and in the running.

In Battleback, they have already been eliminated from the game and are earning the right to get back in. Cameron didn't earn the right back in the game so was therefore, still evicted and his placement remains the same - 17th.
