Something that's super helpful is what I call "skeleton writing". When you write an episode in very very little detail but still hit on very important points. Then when you write you fill in all of the meat of the episode and make it a body. Here is how I plotted out the most recent boot for Lunar Temple.

_ZANAYA and WINSTON tell NOLAND they are going for DAMIEN after YASMYN

NOLAND tells DAMIEN this. NOLAND and DAMIEN think they should do WINSTON.

NOLAND and DAMIEN tell YASMYN their plan.

ZANAYA and WINSTON lie when YASMYN asks them who they’re voting. They say DAMIEN.

YASMYN thinks the two sides are turning on each other.

NOLAND starts to have doubts because he hates YASMYN so much. DAMIEN shuts this notion down however.

The group of four meets, WINSTON clarifies the vote is still YASMYN. Everyone agrees. ZANAYA is suspicious of how they are acting however.

ZANAYA is cautious of DAMIEN. YASMYN is trying to further the wedge between the two groups. She tells WINSTON and ZANAYA that NOLAND threw the challenge and wants to send ZANAYA home.

Ultimately WINSTON is sent home by DAMIEN AND NOLAND._

It's very inconsistent and bad to write randomly. Always try and think of what you want to see happen beforehand. If you are planning someone to go home for something, try not to introduce something right before tribal. Set up the episode in a way you can see it happening with minor clues. Winston's boot was preluded by him being poor in challenges right from the first episode and all of the viewers had a preconception of him so it didn't come as a surprise when it happened.
