1. I'd think I'd probably give the premergers a bit more content. Joe was the only really memorable one from that bunch.

2. None. When I outline a season, I already have the events planned out and the boot order is made to reflect those events. From the moment I created the season, Kai was always gonna be the winner. And to add on to the winner being predictable, that was sort of the idea from the start. I like all my winners to reflect one of the winner stereotypes from the show. Chad being the underdog winner, Sam being the flawed winner, Sara being the villain winner, and Kai being the dominant winner. The dominant winner is usually the most obvious so that is most likely why Kai was the obvious winner but I can promise that the winner of Cyprus won't be predictable. Cyprus is gonna be a very character heavy season with huge personalities and the winner may surprise a few people.

3. The plan was always for Noel to vote Joel out at the merge. That was one of the events I had wanted when coming up with the season. Originally, it was strictly a game move. I said in my answer to Uke that Noel was originally a total gamebot. She wanted a move that she could call her own on her resume and felt like voting Joel out was the best plan. When Noel's character changed, it became a more spur of the moment, emotional move as it is presented in the episode with some strategic sense.
