I was going to bring back Izzy with the other two campers. However, due to the imbalance in the teams, I waited until the Merge. Considering Eva left the episode she returned, I figured I would repurpose that gag. As for Izzy's second return...well, we shall see.

I know Noah going far in Island might seem like a stretch but he did have plots to carry him that far. Firstly, I kick started Noah's WT plot with Katie's elimination. Noah's friendship with Owen also makes Owen seem like less of a floater (he was always in Noah's alliance). Lastly, he seemed like a good substitute for Leshawna in terms of role since I eliminated her so early.
