With a few weeks left before the premiere, I wrote down my prediction on what season 23 would look like per episode based on my first impression on their interviews.
I tried to copy last season's format except the merge is with 10 people and there's no four people duels.
**This is NOT a spoiler! Just mere speculation

Final Results: SOLE SURVIVOR- Rick who gets all 4 former Upolu votes
2nd Place- Keith who got all 3 former Savaii votes
