Thanks michel!

Yes I certainly did notice a HELICOPTER shot of Chris reading his letter to himself where several others didn't even get to say anything. I think there is a good chance that Chris is the winner.

"Looking at the Next Time on Survivor segment, we see that it is all about the return challenge which happens one cycle earlier than in previous iterations where Outcasts returned late in the game.

Yes it is one cycle earlier (1 Day Earlier and 1 More Player)

S22 Finale Day 36 Final 4 (Andrea)
S23 Finale Day 36 Final 4 (Ozzy)
S27 Finale Day 36 Final 4 (Tina)
S38 Finale Day 35 Final 5 (EoE 2nd Return)

However what is common is that the player returns from RI or EoE the very first thing in the Finale episode.

That is why I was assuming the EoE returner would return into the Final 5 not the Final 4 as before which I think is better as the players have 3 Cycles to try to get rid of the Returning player though this time there are going to be 2 Returning EoE Players to get rid of!
