The Dragon
Slayer Brendan was saved by Tyson & Coach through an Immunity win, while Taj divulged with JT the location of the hidden Immunity Idol... Maybe. In any even, alliances held firm, and Sydney was voted off, leaving ten to wonder when... or if... a merge will happen. Night 18: "One of us had to go..." ... and Taj is glad it wasn't her. Joe meanwhile gets concerned after seeing torch after torch get snuffed. Jalapao is down to four to Timbira's six. They hope that their luck will change tomorrow. Day 19: Meditation... Coach has been getting along with his teammates for 19 days now, but there's a volcano brewing inside, as he wants to see things, say things, and do things that will more than likely kill him in the game... So he's out in the water meditating. Coach has been getting along because he knows that he's a day or two or three away from a merge. The teammates like this new Coach. Brendan questions how sane Coach really is. Over at Jalapao, Joe's knee takes a turn for the worse as the surrounding area gets swollen and red. There's a lot at stake going into whatever happens today. Meanwhile, we get TREEMAIL! "Head to head, face to face, R-CHALLENGE?: A Tent, a Note, and a Feast What starts as a get together of the tribes ends up with this... "Congratulations, tribes, you have MERGED! Swap your old buffs with the new." The new tribe will come up with a tribal flag, a tribal name, and live on the old Timbira camp. And for Stephen, it's none too soon, because Jalapao is HUNGRY! Coach is looking forward to teaming with the alphas of the other tribe. Now to come up with a new name. They first come up with a Portuguese word for "will to overcome"... "dingus". No, that is not a typo. Coach suggests "Forza", a corruption of "força" (Portuguese for "strength"). They talk about votes, competition, and possible alliances, all the while not giving too much up. The Jalapaos arrive at the Timbira camp, and the first thing that comes to mind was... "what the hoo-hah." Stephen notes that the Timbira are running the show, and the former Jalapaos are in a position where they can be kicked off at any time. Coach and JT bond over fishing. They're kindred spirits and warriors at heart. JT's up for anything that Coach has to offer, saying that Brendan thinks that he's controlling the game. He's here to make sure everyone hates each other. Coach says that if you lie to him, you better be prepared to go to war. Night 19. "I know him, he's a good ol' boy." Coach tells Tyson that Brendan has the Idol. He says that he's the head of the dragon, and if you kill the head, the body will die. The alliance proposed: JT, Coach, Stephen and Tyson. Day 20: More fishin'. JT and Tyson call living with each other... "different". They're united by a common enemy, though.. Brendan. Taj still thinks that Stephen, Brendan, and Sierra are going to keep tribal ties tight over the secret alliance that they have. Brendan thinks that it needs to lay low for a moment, at least until seven or eight. Joe needs to go, and JT needs to go. Tyson brings Debbie into the fold of four. Their attention turns to Joe, who's injured anyway. Tyson believes that he's a bigger schemer than Brendan, who actually gets paid to do such things. Joe and Erinn decide to look for the Idol at the Treemail site... and find nothing. Erinn assumes that both Brendan and Sierra have the Idol. Once they're voted out, we can "play the game for real." Day 21... I-CHALLENGE: Pole Position From here on out, it's every man for themselves. The challenge is simple. Hold onto a pole for as long as you can. Last person hanging wins. The order of elimination... Stephen... Joe (whose leg catches Jeff's attention)... Brendan, Taj & Erinn... JT.... Coach... Sierra... and Debbie. Winner: Tyson. Meanwhile, Survivor's Medical Tribe, best in the business, looks at that leg. Dr. Lucy McKinnon, the head of the tribe, is quick to note that there is a lot of pus around the injury, suggesting an active infection. He wants to stay in the game. "I want y'all to tell me that if I go back to the game, I could lose my leg." The truth is, pardon the expression, far more painful. The infection could become septic, resulting in loss of leg or loss of life. Stephen doesn't trust anyone, saying that eveyrone's awfully crafty. Lying to everyone gives Tyson pleasure, wondering why Sierra's even out here. Brendan's also a sneaky bastard. After some plotting in the rain, Joe still hasn't returned. Brendan isn't afraid to have to play the Idol tonight. Stephen tries to work Taj about perhaps taking him out tonight. Taj doesn't feel right about doing it. Coach says that JT was going to be next on the block. His life is in Coach's hands. JT tells Stephen of the news that Brendan and Sierra were going to vote him off. Solution: split the votes. A few vote for Brendan. A few vote for Sierra. JT runs it past Tyson. Tyson runs it past Coach. We can call him the Orchestrator or the Dragon Slayer if he wants. But it may be ultimately for naught, as Jeff enters of news of Joe's condition. The risk of staying in the game with the current infection was too great for him to continue, so Joe was medevac'ed out of the game. Obviously due to Joe's ejection from the game, there's no Tribal Council tonight. All the tribe can do at this point is watch the helicopter fly Joe away. ... and Brendan lives to see another day.
