Yay! Quite a few of the Q & As to respond to this morning. Thanks a lot to YemaGrl1988, SFC, and JFRX for filling it out.

Very good predictions by all of you! A few things I noticed:

YemaGrl1988:

3. Two people have zero confessionals in Episode 1. Who are they?

Mary and Aras

9. Who is the first boot?

Aras

It's unlikely that I would give the first boot zero confessionals, although I'll admit it would be something very interesting and different. In the future, I actually might consider it if the person is so totally blindsided and has no idea what's going on - they would have to get a TCQ though.

SFC:

1. Who has the first confessional in Episode 1?
Probably a fan if you do the Fave reveal like they did in the real show. Probably Mikey B

Good catch, and I like that you clearly thought it out. The reveal is very similar, but I didn't expect each person to be revealed individually, so the Favorites all get revealed at once and then there's a couple confessionals interspersed in that scene.

JFRX:

3. Two people have zero confessionals in Episode 1. Who are they?
I don't think any favourites would be INV in the premiere, so it makes sense that they would go to TC, like in the real season, and cause some of the fans to be INV and not itroduced until episode 2. It sounds like the fans are going to TC in episode 2, as someone asks to be voted out, (and there's no Fairplay) so I'll guess Natalie and Erik.

Sounds like solid reasoning to me, but will it be right or wrong? Not long until we find out for sure.

7. Who finds the hidden Immunity Idol this season?
I hope that it's Terry- that'd be great irony

True, that would be good. There could always be more than one idol as well. I should have put "hidden Immunity Idol(s) in the question."

Looks like a lot of people are picking Dave as the first boot, so it's either going to be very predictable or very surprising if something unexpected happens.

Thanks again to all three of you for your great predictions. I enjoyed reading all of them!

Hope you all enjoy the story! :)

I thought you did that already in Cook Islands with Cristina? Unless you mean do that with the first boot of the season.

Yes, you're right - that's what I did with Cristina in her boot episode. I was talking about the first boot having zero confessionals. It's very unlikely, but that's the only situation I can think of where I'd consider it. But even if that happened, they'd probably still get a confessional or two about finding camp or building shelter, etc. They just wouldn't be involved in the strategy part because I don't really want someone to ever not get a confessional.

Hi Lurlene McDaniels. Thank you very much for answering the Q & A. Hope you have a great night and that you enjoy the season! :)

Hello YemaGrl1988! :)

Oh gosh, I wasn't thinking about the survey. I did something like that last season too... ha.

Oh, no problem. I just always read through them thoroughly so I happened to pick up on it.

Thank you very much for filling out the Popularity Poll. Your rating will definitely help out Sherea, who was a little lower than I expected her to be.

Although things in the fanfic may change I can tell that Kathy, Tracy & Joel will probably still be big characters depending how long they last... I hope.

I'd say you're probably right about those three. I think they're strong enough personalities that even if they don't last that long (which they may or may not), they're probably going to get some decent air time.

Thanks again for the comments! :)

Well, Episode 1 is officially 100% complete.

Episode 2 has all of the camp life and Tribal Council written, so it just needs the recap, the challenges, and the secret scene.

The rest of the episodes have a few minor parts complete, but nothing else is even close to being a full scene yet... At least I'll be working at about one episode ahead of the release dates...

ETA: The premiere is 26.5 pages (yep, a little longer than I hoped), plus 1 page for the Ep. 2 Preview, Final Words, and Voting History, and then another page for the secret scene, so it's 29 pages in total.
