1. The only seasons that had a changed boot order were Hawaii and All Stars. In Hawaii, I originally had Hannah win with Chris taking the 2nd Runner-Up spot. If that stayed, I would have written Chris to be extremely arrogant post merge and have a major freak out after Laura was voted out, which would have angered jurors (especially Megan, who would have thought he would have been more humbled after coming from a really bad spot at the start of the game). With Hannah, while I wouldn't make her a very strong strategic pressence, she would have been extremely social, with her calming down both Ray and Megan after blindsiding her mom. However, I didn't want four female winners in a row since I had written down the boot orders for both Turkey and Norway so I switched it around. With All Stars, I haven't gotten to the switch in terms of writing yet but I will reveal it once it happens.

2. For the Heroes, I considered Tanner, Chris, Tyler, Emma, Stephanie, and Tahan. I cut Chris because of the amount of Hawaii people I had but all six I do plan on bringing back at some point. For the Villains, I considered Billy, Liam, Quinn, Gretchen, Jessy, and Hannah. As for Bailey, we'll see if she comes back or not since I have two seasons left after Socotra and both involve returnees so maybe!
