After I've chosen the contestants (by completely random choice), I sit down and write an order I'd like them to finish in. After I write this order, I start the show.

For the first couple of weeks, I stick with that order, but I never completely stick with it. During the show, I look at the character lists and think of who I don't need anymore (e.g., one who doesn't have a gag) and I get rid of them.

To answer your question, no it is not by random. It all depends on who I need for the show (if they're in a rivalry, have a good gag, etc.). If I run out of reasons for a cat to be on the show, they're gone. (These were the reasons for Forstfur's, Thrushpelt's and Shoalfoot's evictions).
