I have to say, I was really not expecting what happened in Survivor: All-Stars at this stage of the game to happen. I did a 2nd tribe switch (or unofficially, 3rd) and the strangest thing happened. The tribe configurations stayed the same, but they were sent to different camps. Zarcero went to Palmares and vice versa. The only effect it could have possibly have had on the game was in the form of the idol, had it not been found. However, 2Beastly had already found both of those idols, so it really was a matter of a color change.
THE SWITCH:
Logan (Me):
"I've got some exciting news.
You can DROP YOUR BUFFS!"
Joey ( TheEclipse):
"I am ever so shocked that there is an announcement"
Joey ( TheEclipse):
"It's another fake tribes thing I bet
All of us are switching to the other tribe
All of former Zarcero is going to Palmares
All of former Palmeres is going to Zarcero"
Steve ( 2Beastly):
"so we're actually merging? I am so confused lol"
Logan (Me):
"This was not a twist, but mere fate kept the tribes EXACTLY the same, but on different tribes. At the end of the challenge you'll go back to your new camp.
Palmares:
Chris Blue (blueu22)
Jacob Smith (BOBROCKS333)
Jordyn Stick (carleebear)
Ryan Wangman (wangifold)

Zarcero:

Jeff Garon (aimers)
Jordan Maine (jman96)
Joey Tortellini (TheEclipse)
David Steel (Steel)
Lynette Barclay (Lynette)"
Chris B ( blueu22):
"LMAO
FIRST OF ALL
YOU CAN FUCK YOURSELF BECAUSE I'VE SEARCHED LIKE 100 SPACES FOR THE DAMN IDOL AND NOW I NEED TO START OVER
SECOND OF ALL ROFL IM WITH MY ALLIANCE
-
HOLY SHIT tribe swap! Not surprised. I was so nervous for the tribe swap, I wanted to stick with my alliance. I saw buff after buff after buff given out and I was so nervous. I did not want to be with Steve and his tribe because they would vote me out. My alliance was all on one side and they wanted me to pick buff 1. I picked it, and IM ON THE SAME TRIBE (heart) I'm SO happy you have no idea. I feel safe in my tribe and I think I'm in a good position, just need to wait to see the last tribe members (heart)"
Mykel ( CheapCheep):
"Another day another "tribe swap". Some swap it was, it's the same people just on different tribes Basically my idol searching efforts have gone to nothing, and i'm 99% sure someone has now found the idol before I could. Ugh, what a bummer.
I'm hoping for merge soon. Winning the challenge has bought myself an extra day so that's a relief. But how long can I survive for with this batch of people is unknown.
Not much else to say here except i'm bummed out to have missed out on the idol."
Jeff ( aimers):
"That Tribe swap…I don't even know anymore with this game. Just when I thought I had seen it all…Well at least I shouldn't be going anywhere even though we lost
I feel a little bad. There's a good chance we're going to take out the third girl in a row. Call it a coincidence but, we might be picking them off one by one. Who knows at this point."
I concur with Jeff, just when I thought I had seen it all! The best part of this moment was the fact that they all thought it was a sham for the merge or some twist beyond a tribe switch, but it wasn't! It was mere luck.
Stay tuned for the other 6 moments in LW's Survivor - Top Ten Moments Series!
LoganWorm Hmm, possibly either the double-idol play in All-Stars or that HUGE flip in Madagascar where eestrada17 and @stick completely shocked everyone lol
