Eddiot was the first boot because he was the only one that made sense. I was trying to figure out who could be first boot without crushing their reputation and Eddiot made sense. He was there to have fun and I could have spent another season with him just being the comic relief but with the direction I wanted the season to go in, he wasn't necessary to the plot.
