With retruning players in the mix and noteworthy villains, it's really harder and harder to make predictions with the confessionals. RussHell had an extreme amount of confessionals. This season Coach, Ozzy, Cochran, and Little Hantz have had by far the majority. When there are such daws on, the regular folk are often neglected....look at how many daws, this late in the season really have had practically none...

Elyse, Mark, Whitney, Rick, Keith, and even Albert. Clearly, Elyse, Mark, Whitney, Rick, and Keith are not major characters in the story that is Survivor: South Pacific.

Albert, while still alive, could possibly start some kind of story arc in the future, so we can't discount him yet. Brandon has had many confessionals and is integral to the story this season, but he's flown under the radar for the past 3 eps. I suspect when his count starts to spike, he won't be long for the game. I suppose that we could say the same about Edna. Right now she's under the radar, if she starts coming alive she could be starting her final arc. Of course any of the daws still in the game have a chance to end in the finals.

Cochran may be in trouble with a real dip in his confessionals this week. Is it the end of his drama or will he be riding out the rest of the show behind bigger characters?

We can see that Dawn's story has been revitalized, that could be good, but it could be bad. Looking at the dynamic right now, I'd say that it's bad.

Those daws that look the most stable to me right now...Coach, Sophie, and Ozzy.
