Observations (In new order)

1) The winner may have ups and downs, but is typically not too UTR/INV or too OTT. Winners who are typically UTR will generally have a very defined (positive) tone.
2) The winner will typically have a fair amount of meaningful editing and typically won't be ignored in long stretches, especially during the latter half of the season.
3) Typically the winner has a clearly defined tone (either Positive or Negative), but is not overly Positive or Negative.
4) The winner is unlikely to receive an INV rating during the course of the season, and will likely receive a meaningful edit in both the premiere and the merge episodes.
5) Over the course of the game the winner's presence and visibility should end up closer to the average of all the players, which may mean that the winner is surrounded by players who keep our focus to distract us from the winner. These distracting players are often OTT, overly toned, or have high visibility levels.
5b: In a season where one or two players single-handedly "dominate" airtime and storylines, the winner's edit is more likely to break typical Edgic guidelines ("Type B").
6) The winner will have substantial comments/insight from many of the jury members that may resurface in front of the jury or mislead the audience on voting.
8) The ending is typically set up to be a somewhat of a 'surprise'. You either don't expect the winner or second place to be there. These two are often manipulated in the editing to make each look like they have a chance to win.
9) If two people are a 'known final pair' then the likelihood of them actually being the final two is slim. It would need to be a situation that cannot be avoided (i.e. Amber/Rob)
