It is all but confirmed that one of the players on CBS's Survivor: San Juan del Sur is quitting the game this season, so does this mean that the season concludes with a Final 2 rather than a Final 3?

Jeff Probst Admits That Whole Crew "Fell In Love" With Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Had "Fantasies"

The preview for "This season on Survivor" that was featured after the premiere episode included a clip of host Jeff Probst asking someone directly if they were quitting the game. Probst later appears at one of the tribe's beaches and tells them that they have "lost" a member. As Enstars previously speculated, there are a few potential candidates for who quits the game, including Natalie Anderson, Jon Misch and Wes Nale, though anything could happen out on the island.

With the information that someone will probably quit, it is possible that the series will feature a Final 2 instead of a Final 3 for the second year in a row. As Probst previously revealed to Entertainment Weekly, Lindsey Ogle quitting the game in Survivor: Cagayan messed up their schedule, which meant they had to do a Final 2, for the first time since Season 18's Survivor: Tocantins.

"Fortunately we knew early enough that we could adapt without any interruption," Probst said at the time, discussing Ogle's quit. "Yes, I loved having the final two and yes had it been Kass [McQuillen] vs Woo [Hwang] I would not have been as happy. I absolutely see the simplicity of a season with no Redemption Island and a final 2. I get it. But the truth of the matter is that when we start with twenty people it's very hard to get the numbers down to a final two. It's honestly just math."

The numbers were already screwed up this season when one of the pairs slated to appear on San Juan del Sur had to quit for medical reasons before the game even began. With another person leaving the game in a non-traditional way, this could mean a Final 2 this year. Nothing has been confirmed by CBS or Survivor's producers, though.

Survivor: San Juan del Sur airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
