Uruguay Original Boot Order

Hello guys, gals, and non-binary pals! (As Thomas Sanders would say)

Here is the long awaited original boot order for Uruguay, because I'm impatient.

First off, I just want to thank everyone for the support that I was given during this season. However, it did change quite a bit in development, even after I had started writing it! I just wanted to make it a more fun, exciting, and dynamic season, while still fitting with the story I had in mind. I do believe that the original boot order was more bland and predictable, so I'm super happy with the changes I made, and I'm very proud with how it turned out.

Some notable personality changes from the original to the current draft:

Gerald Solta - Originally he was more of just a grumpy old man, with that being basically it. I wanted to just make him a much more fun character that would give more life to Soriano, and I believed that I accomplished that.

Kayla Michaels - She was basically just going to be a really social person that knew a lot about the outdoors at first, so there really wasn't much to her. I switched her character up so that the season could have a lot more drama and stay interesting.

Nick Sanderson - This one was more unintentional, in the sense that I just kind of let his character develop as I wrote, as opposed to making an intentional switch like I did with the two above. Basically, he was originally going to be much more social with people, and the anger towards him at the FTC was about him betraying close friends, as opposed to him just being a game-bot.

Alright, now without further ado, here's the original boot order. Please leave any questions that you have below, and I would love to hear comments and critiques you have about the season/my writing, especially critiques!

Mikol Jowyk 26, Eden Prairie, MN	Rocha	Paysandu		Sole Survivor	7

Technically Brianna was the original runner up, but I switched her with Laura about a year before I started writing Uruguay (so she was there for the longest time).
- I then switched Brianna back to her current finish mid season.

As for Soriano, Frank basically played Gerald's game in the first draft, while Guy played Frank's. I made the switch due to Frank being a much more interesting player, while Guy was quite bland.
- I decided to keep Gerald around much longer because with his new personality came a much more fun character to write for.

FINAL TRIBAL COUNCIL RESULTS:

Second Runner Up: Nick Sanderson - 1 vote

Runner Up: Laura Kudrick - 2 votes

Sole Survivor: Mikol Jowyk - 6 votes
