1) Once I had a concrete draft down, Sasha was always the winner, although I nearly changed it multiple times, especially as the game neared the end. I didn't think people would be satisfied with the win and I thought about changing it to Johannes.

2) Writing myself into a corner by placing the entire pre-game on the Gunung Tribe. I knew I couldn't ignore the pre-game but placing them all together meant I could produce almost no content. I also wish I hadn't gone too OTT with Raphael.

3) I think Misty was really underrated and part of that was because I portrayed her a little too negatively and didn't think of putting her as the floater who'd come out to play initially. Misty was shocked by being almost first out and changed her game entirely. I think she's someone who didn't get much credit as the season was going on, especially because she'd bitch about Kendra but not take her out (I mean, I've been there). She wanted to get past 9th and didn't want to do anything to jeopardise it.

As for overrated, definitely Samantha, and I think that was because people rooted so hard for her to survive because her rivals were so OTTN. She made a really bad mistake at the swap and did the best she could with the bad situation that she put herself in. I definitely wanted to send her out like that but I think a lot of people, in Samantha's last two episodes, ignored the fact that she could have so easily taken control of the game instead of going along with the split.
