The game continued with medevacs and quits when there were 16 contestants too, like when Spupin got medevaced on The Australian Outback, or when Osten quit on Pearl Islands.

16 contestants is the most ideal number for a season with new players only, because it allows the producers to expose all the contestants better. Sonja Christopher, Debb Eaton, Diane Ogden, Peter Harkey, and others got pretty good exposure on their seasons, despite being the first boots. How many first (and even second, third, and fourth) boots could say that now?
