If you're referring to pre-merge, they didn't Ulong Matsing in Philippines because there was an idol in the camp. Hence not letting someone be eliminated by default.

Well there are all sorts of circumstances in which it could happen, hell, post-merge, someone could even use an idol, someone could have an immunity, tie up the votes like four ways and keep them tied so rocks happen and the only non-voted-for not-immune person would be eliminated instantly.

The point is, it's not impossible to have someone automatically be eliminated. In this case? Sure, it can be shown as an error, but it's not exactly the host's fault. The idols could've been played at any time (and usually, they are), but they weren't. Small oversight, but Alejandro unfortunately had to receive the short end of the stick in this case. Unlucky, yes. Unfair, no.
