Almost certainly 100% again I would hae thought, I would be very surprised if there isn't a clause in the rules of contestant participation that producers can change the rules for any reason at any time and if that means you get kicked off after 75 shows, then it sucks to be you basically. Otherwise in theory you could stay on a show for the rest of your life.
I think it was Cash Trapped that took this to its logical conclusion, where you couldn't leave the show until whatever the scenario occurred that allowed you to leave legitimately (IIRC somebody ultimately decided sod this I'm off and walked).
