Do you include the different targets, reasons, and alliances, or do you just list the boot and a small reason? I'm so lost lol (Mine may be a little complicated, but it's just how my brain works.)

What I do is give each player a persona and side goal they want to accomplish while they're out there. This helps me find what kind of relationships would form and what strategies each player would use.

Then I rank each player from the ones I least like to the ones I like the most. The top five become the Finalists and I separate them from the rest and that ranking becomes the boot order, but now I have to keep in mind that I have to make the final five make sense which changes the boot order based on the relationships and how that final five would play. Then I take all those notes and write the finale.

My finalists strategies and relationships decide the boot order, then that boot order decides how my finale works. It's why my note for my first episode are "Emma's faith is her personality, she's boring and the weakest one on the Tribe, easy first boot." While My finale notes include the results of every possible final two those five could make.

There's a lost of "And then- Ah but- okay how about," in my process.
