RECAP: At the merge, it seemed to still be Survivors versus Total Drama players, at least on the outside. Little did most people know that Noah was cleverly playing both sides. After he won a mind over matter individual immunity challenge, he planned a brilliant strategy for how to keep both sides following him and listening to whatever he said. He told Rob that he would give up immunity tonight and give it to him to show that he was being loyal. Noah indeed gave up immunity at tribal to Rob, but then played the hidden immunity idol on himself, saving himself from elimination. Jo was blindsided with the help of Noah, making her the first member of the jury.

It's a double-elimination episode! Even though this technically is difficult to do in this way, just go with it. Dawn and Jenna both win immunity, but please vote out TWO people. Also be aware that two idols are still in play (merge idol and one pre-merge idol).
RECAP: After losing back-to-back challenges, Team #1 realized that the merge would probably be on them soon and trying to keep strength at this point would probably be useless. Therefore, the six players scrambled to make a sound decision on who to vote out. Brick, Lindsay and Noah tried to stick together, while Rob, Twila and Vecepia tried to stay together as well. Noah made sure that Lindsay would not fall for the same trick twice, and then had a rather intelligent conversation with Rob that somehow managed to change his mind at the last minute. Vecepia was blindsided at the vote, becoming the fourth former champion to be voted out.

The merge does indeed happen next, and the final ten celebrate as they become one tribe. For the first season, four Survivor players made it while six Total Drama players got there. Note that both idols are STILL in play, not to mention a third merge idol, too. Noah wins first individual immunity. Vote out anyone except Noah.
RECAP: Suffering their first loss, Brick, Lightning, Lindsay and Noah discussed what to do. Noah pointed out that they should stick together and vote out a Survivor player, Brick and Lightning both agreeing. However, Rob managed to manipulate Lindsay, while Twila and Vecepia bragged up her beauty and inflated her already idiotic ego. This allowed the three Survivor players to steal Lindsay's vote and turn it against Lightning, since his obnoxious behavior around camp was annoying and Rob found it to be cancerous.

Team #1 soon regrets voting out Lightning as they are easily manhandled in the next challenge and gets sent right back to tribal council. Both idols are still in play. Vote off someone from Team #1.
RECAP: With Colby and Jenna as the only two Survivor players on the losing Team #2, they knew they had to work together to avoid being picked off. They had a talk with Heather to discuss keeping the team strong and giving her their word that they would be loyal if she keeps them. Heather, knowing she'd still have the numbers either way, decided to cut some dead weight and struck a deal with Jenna and Colby. At tribal council, Justin was blindsided and became the first Total Drama player voted out.

With Justin and his dislike of doing physical challenges or anything involving his brain now out of the picture, Team #2 finally got the sweet taste of victory in an immunity win. Both idols are still in play. Vote off someone from Team #1.
RECAP: After the tribe swap, Team #1 finally got the firepower and brains it needed in Brick, Lightning and Noah to pull out a win. On Team #2, Richard immediately pegged Heather as a huge threat and tried to get Justin and Jo on board to rebel against her, mistaking Jo for a male. Jo gets infuriated by this and asks Heather to vote out Richard. Heather was already planning this, however, as she felt the same about Richard as he did about her. Ultimately, thanks to their one-player advantage, the Total Drama players got their way and yet another former Survivor champion, Richard Hatch, was sent home, but not before proclaiming how Heather bamboozled him and he was humiliated.

Brick, Lightning, Lindsay and Noah continue to stay undefeated as Team #1 wins the next immunity challenge, sending Team #2 right back to tribal council and deflating Colby and Jenna's moral even further. Both idols are still in play. Vote off someone from Team #2.
RECAP: Losing another immunity challenge to a bunch of teenagers infuriated Richard and made Jenna point out that maybe they needed to cut a weak link, even if it meant from their alliance. Even though Colby didn't like going against those he gave his word to early on, he and Rob joined Richard and Jenna in blindsiding a second former winner in a row, via Aras, at their next tribal council.
A tribe swap soon followed, creating two even teams of seven and mixing up Survivor and Total Drama players. Interestingly, the Survivor players were separated evenly between both teams, as well as the Total Drama players.

After the first challenge following the swap, Team #1 finally won an immunity challenge and allowed Rob, Twila and Vecepia to finally taste victory. This means, however, Team #2 is going to tribal. Both idols are still in play. Vote off someone from Team #2.
