I'm pretty sure all of the elimination order advice was covered in Zac's comment, but one thing I can say is don't be too predictable. A lot of shows actually make it really obvious who's going to be eliminated in each episode because they suddenly get a ton of screentime. Spread out your characters' plotlines throughout the episodes. So don't have somebody suddenly get a ton of development when they were a total nobody before. People tend to find things a lot more realistic and relatable if a story element lasts more than one episode.

With that said, don't be afraid to throw in some shockers. The third elimination in my story really was a shocker to readers when it first came out, and I eliminated who was supposedly the main villain by episode seven. Think of Courtney's elimination in TDI. Literally no one saw it coming. And just because Total Drama sticks to a "bad guy gets third place and skates through every elimination" kind of structure doesn't mean you have to too.

I'm pretty sure when I first was creating my characters, I knew in my head who the final three would be. It just kind of felt right, and I've tried to not have it be totally obvious as I get further into the story. With the rest, there were some that I knew would obviously make the merge and some that didn't have to. The actual placements were determined after I worked out their characters and interactions more and the challenge order (since it really wouldn't make a lot of sense for a lot of people to get out on challenges that they would naturally be really good at.)

I'm really happy to have been able to help with Nate's redesign! I think the collar definitely makes a lot more sense than the neck warmer. I'm still in awe of how well you do rotations, since there are some characters that I really avoid even attempting to draw at a certain angle. XD

As for the voice acting, I'd love to audition (and with a male-dominated wiki, I think you could use some girls in the mix lol). People have always told me I have a good voice, and I'd probably fit the part for a dumb blonde or a mean girl. As for payment, I'm sure there's a lot of people that are actuallly willing to do it just because they want to be a part of the show! I know I wouldn't really expect anything, but maybe people would like art or something in return?
