1) This season helped me a ton with writer's block, which I never expected. I didn't go into writing seasons with the goal of actually improving my own writing skills; I expected they'd naturally get better from writing more, of course, but not in a way where I'd notice it as I did with writer's block. I got it a lot while writing the season, but I learned strategies on how to mitigate it - by brainstorming the next conversation in the scene, for instance, which excited me enough to motivate me past the current one I was stuck on.

2) A ton of people! I really want Logan to play again, and I'm considering Jason as well since he was seen as robbed and was a strong player despite his early exit. As for people who made the merge, I think that Calvin, Elaine, Heather, Kurtis, Leilani, Sadie, and Winter are all potential returnees in one form or another.
