Well, I think that they increased the # of contestants since they are anticipating some injuries.

If 2 people get hurt & pulled from the game - it's like a normal season of 16 contestants.

I didn't even watch last season but heard that 3 guys got hurt & one woman quit.
In the past 16 seasons of this show, there have been 5 medical evacuations from the game. One of the most dramatic episodes of all time (if not the most dramatic) had no one being voted out, but a medial evacuation that served as the focus of the episode.

So, yeah, I'm gonna go with "no."
