Generally, what I do when planning a fanfiction is I first start by creating a potential cast of about 32 people with very basic backstories, then I wittle that down to the 16-20 people actually on the season. Then I plan out a basic framework for the season (twists, themes, when swaps/merge/jury happens, etc.) before planning out each episode individually. I usually don't set out with a boot list in mind while drafting; I just do the boot that makes the most sense with the story. I usually make several of these drafts and pick the best one to be the actual season.

If you mean in terms of actually writing the story, you have to create a season page first and write short bios for each of your characters before you can begin writing the episodes.
