I think we're making way too big a deal out of the confessional counts. We have to realize that Cirie went to all but 2 Tribal Councils this season. Amanda did too, but she her edit sucked in the first half and had no substance because of the lack of confessionals. Parvati went to only 2 Tribal Councils pre-merger, and when you don't go to TC (and someone quits) in that same episode, it's hard to get a meaningful confessional in because the story is focused on the quitter, the the strategy or the end-game. The editors have to work with the material that they've got. The fact is that on the Favourite's tribe, Parvati got meaningful edit and confessionals, and as soon as the quitting was over, Parvati started getting a lot more confessionals with a lot more meaning. This persisted in the merger and even her confessional in the penultimate episode had end-game and strategic meaning for herself. Also, Cirie is also someone who gives great confessionals. Parvati isn't exactly amazing; imagine the type she's giving. The fact that they've shown such meaningful confessionals for her shows that they're choosing those rather than the ditzy ones.

Parvati has been the only player with consistant end-game focus and we've known she'd be in the end for a while now. People you know will go far are people who usually win. We knew Todd, Earl, Yul, and Aras would all make it far before the merger. They all won. Did we know that Amanda, Courtney, Dreamz, Cassandra, Ozzy, Becky, and Danielle would all be in the Finals pre-merger? No, we did not. They all lost. We've known Parvati will make the Finals before the merger happened. We have not had that same thought pre-merger for Amanda, Natalie, or Cirie.

Parvati has shown change and has used what many people considered her weakness (flirtation) and has turned it into an advantage and has deviously eliminated those that she's strung along via flirtation. Why show Parvati like this if she loses in the end? If she lost, wouldn't she be someone who gets dumb confessionals and just betrays people because she's stupid and makes bad decisions. She's been shown as a power player yet is out of the central drama this entire game. My point is that there has been no reason to edit Parvati the way she has been editted if she loses.

They've cooled off on her "losing they jury vote" story line for a while now. She took out Eliza, and Ozzy (whom was shown as being Cirie's fault in that episode as well) and pissed off James, but Alexis was shown as Amanda's fault, Jason was shown as Natalie's fault, and Erik was shown as everyone but Parvati's fault. We're starting to forget all the bad she did to the jurors, except Ozzy who has been emphasized over and over at Tribal Council. Parvati's main force against her on the jury has clearly been Ozzy, from the sharp music he's given with a facial reaction every time she says something to it being revealed that she betrayed him by James. The audience is going to think "Parvati can't win, Ozzy hates her!" because Ozzy has been such a big character this season. The fact is, if Amanda is in the finals, Ozzy's voting for her. So doing all this against Parvati just adds doubt to her to the audience, because his vote is obvious anyways. They want a surprise.

I'm going to rewatch the penultimate episode now, but for now, Parvati wins.

Tom went to 8 tribal councils total (1 premerge) and got 58 confessionals total. Yul went to 9 (3 premerge) and got 47. Parvati's been to 7 so far (2 premerge) and it's still in the mid-20s?

-No one quit on Koror when they won IC (TWO quit Parvati's tribe when they won IC meaning they only had the first 30 minutes to get any airtime)
-Tom was in a regular season (All star seasons, airtime is more spread out)
-Palau was full of UTRs and non-entities (All Stars has lots of big personalities that are getting the focus)
-Tom has a penis (Parvati has a vagina)
-All of the above apply to Yul as well (plus 4 tribes in the first two episodes, easier focus on those who went the distance or went fairly quick)
