Talk:The Final... Four? (Part 2)/@comment-9258976-20180124022341/@comment-26714162-20180124062618

While it hasn't ever lead me to change results or a boot order, the way readers react definitely has influenced the way I write other things. For instance, I bumped up Matt's airtime a lot back in Temotu, and people really didn't like him, so I put him back to the side for most of the season since he already was going to be an early merge boot. In a similar vein, Corey was always going to be a more minor character who just popped up and was enjoyable here and there, but he became the far and away fan favourite even from early on, so I gave him a bigger focus.
