Who would you say you expected to have been more liked but they weren't? One from each season, if possible.

Fabian from Barbados (there's a bit of an explanation for that in my answer to JakeToby)

From Tortuga, I don't really have anyone, but I guess if I had to pick, I'd say Riley? I liked writing him, he wasn't a stellar character but no one really talked about him over the season despite him being the biggest jury threat in the game.

Anyone from the pre-jury you regret eliminating?

I'm generally pretty satisfied with my boot orders. I do think that of all the pre-jury members, Noelle and Tammy were probably my favorites and the most interesting to write, and I think on a second chance, if they were more social and got into an early alliance, could do very well. David was also someone who I thought was pretty fun, I would have had a lot of fun with him if he had lasted longer in the game.

From Barbados, there wasn't anyone I was sad to see go early. London and Bethany were fun to write but, like, they deserved their voteout, and I think it was the perfect end to her story. Gabriel and Jaylen were okay and could probably do well on a second run, but neither of them were particularly gripping  or anything.

Who would you put on a second chances ballot?

I don't want to disclose too much regarding potential returnees, because I don't know if/when I'll do a returnee season, but I think a couple of people who would be really fun to write again would be Fabian, Shonda, Rocco, Wilson, and then the two winners (though for a second chance ballot, they wouldn't exactly be eligible haha)

Was there anyone in Tortuga who you didn't expect to love as much as you did and someone who you didn't expect to hate as much as you did?

Someone who I haven't mentioned at all in the Q&A that I liked writing was Marcus. He was originally meant to have, like, the quieter rocked-out edit (his edit was planned to be similar to Vusi from Survivor South Africa 6), but I decided to completely change that and make him more of a strategic force, since he had a lot of story relevance with his post-swap tribe constantly losing. I liked him a lot, and being that he was rocked out, there's definitely a possibility of some sorta redemption for the guy. His story does feel rather unfinished.

Someone I didn't like too much was Annette, because honestly, I found her to be somewhat of a discount Millie LMAO. Like it sounds weird, but their designs and personalities were a bit alike, and it got to the point where I was actually worried that people would confuse the two haha. If I could do over, I would have replaced Annette with a female with a much different personality in order to distinguish the two longest surviving girls in the game. I just think that would have been smarter.
