Indiestatik link to Jared Rosen account no longer exists.
Gamasutra article no longer exists.
Kotaku and Polygon articles still present.
Apparently she got annoyed the horrible capitalist overload (Lenshem) had come in and told them their job was to promote their sponsor, make some entertainment for people watching at home, do some stupid activity that might get a laugh, make up some fake drama. Otherwise, no one will watch it. Basically he was the asshole that told people what they didn't want to hear.
So basically Zoe called around the guys she had clout with and started messing with the shoots, hiding cans, moving cans out of shots, covering her face with the can, deathstaring the camera. Getting one of the guys to drink so much mountain dew he spewed all over the place.
Basically because she didn't want to be portrayed as the bad guy, and because she wanted to be the winner of the contest, but that wasn't in the script. Kotaku and Polygon basically frame the whole thing as a sexist/capitalist nightmare they had to escape from. Zoes own blog at the time details her heroic escape from the clutches of Pepsico and then hinting at waking up next to Nathan Grayson afterward. The person reporting on what you just did.
btw Dodger has fucking tiny legs.
