That is very good question.

It isn't that I liked Dominick more than Jake but it is mainly due to the fact that Jake was the sole reason why I had Jessica as the winner. In that version, Jessica was bad player who turned to good player because Jake left. And I wanted Julia to win because in all drafts she was the player who won the Japan but I never knew how to give her good edit since I had planned that the main focus of the season would be Jake and Jessica. So, I decided to make Seychelles a 20 cast season and replace Dominick with Jake.
