I thought it could be helpful to make a graph so we can see just how many confessionals the top three placers of the last 7 seasons had. I will note how many Intro confessionals they had, and then note the number of episodes that they had 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5+ confessionals. For comparison, it may help us draw perspectives for this season and perhaps future seasons. *I am counting the number of confessionals in the episodes to episode 13, and I am not counting the intro confessionals with the episode 1 totals.

What we can tell:

Almost all of them got intro confessionals. Caramoan, as the second F v Favs was different. Jiffy introduced them, and I couldn't tell from the Editing thread or the confessionals if they had intro confessionals or not. ugh. But, from present to Caramoan, all top three finishers with the exception of Will and Woo, got intro confessionals. So, more likely that our top three finishers are indeed in those 9 intro confessionals of this season.

Will and Woo were both edited to be insignificant characters to the story, Woo was a sidekick, and Will was just???

Of the winners: Jeremy, Mike, Tony had a confessional in every episode. Natalie had 2 episodes with 0 confessionals, while Tyson, Cochran and Denise all had one episode with 0 confessionals. So, if our winner isn't a huge personality this season, then chances are pretty good that they will go completely under the radar in at least one episode. No winner has been completely under the radar for more than 2 episodes ~ and Natalie was pretty hidden until Jeremy went home.
