There are 12 balloons. 4 of them (Alejandro, Heather, Gwen and Cameron are popped), and 8 balloons are floating to the sky. 8+4=12. Duncan is there (though I wish he was not).

Quitting is walking off the show despite the votes, like Harold, DJ, Duncan, and Anne Maria did. Gwen voted for herself, but she did not quit and was eliminated because of the votes. Lindsay might have voted for herself purposely, but she was still eliminated by having the most votes, not because she walked off (which she could have done).

Sam was there to develop Dakota. Lindsay's plots were Beth and Tyler, and without either of them, she had nothing to do and no one to talk to. I see no reason for either to return, as they need others for a story, and the others they need are not going to return.
