1. Maybe this is recently bias, but I do rank this season as my favourite, based on enjoyment. Every character was so unique and enjoyable for me this season in one way or another, and I just had a lot of fun writing the dynamic between them.

2. I toyed with the idea of making this a One World season, but I scrapped that and just did “One World for One Day” because the twist just seems awkward to me from a writing perspective. I’m unsure how to write the dynamic between castaways in different tribes because I don’t know what the right balance is between tribes mingling and tribes staying separate. The Idol of Burden was also not in my original drafts, but I added it later because I wanted an extra something to spice things up.

3. There wasn’t a specific reason for me choosing Mozambique. I just liked the location, and Santa Carolina just seemed like a perfect Survivor filming location. I seem to remember the French version (Kaoh Lanta) filming there, so I’m surprised CBS hasn’t.

4. Yes, 100%. I really strive to bring characters personalities to life and integrate their backstories into their journeys as much as possible, as well as focus on their emotions as I’m writing it out. That is why I like the script format because it allows me to add those details and really visualize what each scene and conversation looks like. Compared to my previous seasons, I feel like I did a much better job this season with adding those details.
