There is also one whole row of the middle four blocked out.

I'm a little mystified as to how flying over it's empty and flying back it's picked over, .
Most business travellers wouldn't fly on a Saturday and Monday is a popular day for business travel so unless you are flying from a vacation area like Orlando then it really isn't surprising. Also seat assignments aren't any indication of loads as plenty of leisure travellers don't/won't pay to preassign seats so it may look very different once OLCI opens
