Assuming Francesca is eligible and Tina/JFP are not, and further assuming no returnees are booted first in 27/28, that gives a total of 25 first boots - 28 if you stretch the definition a bit and include Jonathan/Wanda/Kourtney. To get 20 of them to come back would be impossible. And male/female balance would be even more impossible.

All-kids is out for legal reasons. Though an Endurance revival is possible. first boots can be done now, we now have enough male first boots.

Also many female first boots are actually young and athletic,  The only first boots I think who cant play again will be Sonja and Jim.

we can make it a 16 people cast or have extra females, I mean Fiji have more male contestants than female because Mellissa Quits before filming began. Should there be a first-boots only season, the biggest challenge would be finding a young enough cast, especially if Tina, J. Fairplay, Rupert, Sugar, Vytas, and Ciera are not included.

Currently there are only two first boots under the age of 30: Ciera and Darnell, who will be turning 30 in roughly a week. On the other end of the spectrum, look how many first-boots are over 50: Jolinda, both Tinas, Diane, Jim, Sonja, Sekou, Peter, Debb, Wanda, Rupert, John, Wendy, and probably Chicken, not to mention that David's 50th is coming up. The remaining men who have competed once who are under 50 are Ryan, Darnell, Brook, Jonathan, and Zane.

To summarize it all: it would be a good season, it's just that there would be a lot of old people.
