I think they edited this season differently

Because pretty much every player has at least a small group that's excited to see them (or at least production hopes they do)

. . . . I think the early boots are getting more screen time and having their stories shown so the people who were excited to see them got to see their person at least somewhat

A tribe that can't figure out challenges and the people voting out the early boots is going to get shown more by default and I'm sure the winner is sprinkled in somewhere

But I do think it bodes well for people we've barely seen like Angelina, Stephanie, and the Kalo tribe in general because they'll be around to get their screen time later

It'll be suspicious if one of the contestants not shown a whole lot so far suddenly gets a lot of screen time in any of the coming weeks
