User blog comment:Tomas T/Total Drama Around the Ocean - New fan season/@comment-35606925-20191201074624/@comment-24784093-20191201101547

1. It was supposed to be Staci in the original draft but I just think the "my grand grand grandfather crated X before him people did Y" was too old. But she will be in Revenge of PI. So I replaced her with Ella.

2. Yes It was suprising for me as well. But I really did not wanted to give Scott a main story as well. He merged twice and make it to the final four twice so I think I needed a little break from him. But if Courtney won't be finalist, he abnd Courntey will meet in future aftermath.

3. I thouth about eliminate him first after Ezekiel's firt boot was scrapped and Staci replaced by Ella. But I wanted a small build up for ROPI

5. I really did not wanted to drag his redemption too long so he make it further in previous seasons but not that much. I just never was a fan of his character but I wanted to give him a good time.
