Paloo returns from tribal council and everyone is shocked at the events of that night. Colby and Candace pray for a merge to happen because that's the only thing left that can keep them from being ousted. The next morning Paloo gets tree mail telling them to go to Carror camp and that they are merging. They arrive and are welcomed by everyone. Parvati tells the Paloo group how benry got Russell with the fake idol and Jonathan asks how both Lex and rob are still here hating each other and rob just shrugs and says they're best friends now. The Paloo group get together and agree that even though they have had their differences its best that they stick together and battle it out at the final 6. But Stephanie already starts trying to get in with parvati, Jenna, and Amanda. Benry not wanting to have to take on the 3 girls in the final 6 goes to Candace and suggests an alliance since they both have shady people on their tribe and that a secret alliance could be the best move in the game. She goes to colby and Alina with the idea and they agree it might be a good idea and no one would see it coming. So colby, Candace, Alina, benry, and Amanda all form a brand new secret alliance and Amanda tells them how Stephanie is trying to get in with the girls from her tribe. Alina says they all know Stephanie is shady and that they can wait her out. Meanwhile Jonathan and James get together with Jenna and parvati to make sure they are all sticking together to the end and that the Lex and rob rivalry could be the perfect way to break up Paloo and pick them off one by one. Parvati goes to Lex and tells him that he's got a final 3 spot with her and Jenna and there is no way that his tribe would keep him over rob. He says he wants a guarantee that he's got a final 3 spot and parvati tells him not to worry about it.
Part 2 - immunity challenge
The new tribe arrive to the challenge and decide on the tribe name paloor. Jeff announces that tribal immunity is gone and that they are playing as individuals now. For their first challenge they will all stand on a platform. Last one left will win immunity. They all get on and in an hour everyone is still up. But Jenna and Alina both get off first. Another 20 minutes pass by and colby, James, Amanda, and Jonathan decide they are done. Candace and Amanda are next to hop off 3 hours in. 4 hours and its down to rob, Lex, parvati, and benry. Another half an hour passes and parvati jumps off. 7 hours in and Lex jumps off after nodding off. 8 hours and benry and rob strike a deal that if rob jumps benry will agree to vote out one of his own and that Lex will go next round. Rob jumps and BENRY WINS IMMUNITY!
Part 3 - after challenge
Benry goes to Amanda and tells him about the deal with rob and they should go ahead with it because even if rob screws him he can still throw a challenge and use the idol on him. And they also have their alliance with Candace, colby, and Alina to fall back on. Rob then starts telling his tribe they got the numbers and to vote out James because of him being a challenge threat. Candace and colby decide it would be for the best to stick with their tribe this time because of it being a tie game right now. Jonathan rallies his tribe into voting out rob, another challenge threat and and he pulls benry aside and says he's pretty sure he has the idol and that he should use it to break the tie. Benry tells him he agrees but he has no intentions of wasting his idol on the first tribal council in the merge.
Part 4 - tribal council
The tribe arrives at tribal council as a merged tribe for the first time. Jeff then asks Jenna if there is still tribe unity and Jenna says there is and expects a tie vote tonight. Alina says that even though the perception is a tie there has been a lot of scrambling around and that anything could happen tonight. Jeff asks who the leader is in each alliance and everyone points out rob and Jonathan except for Lex. Jeff asks Lex what's up with that and Lex says rob doesn't control anything in this game and hasn't since day one. jeff asks who is in control and Lex says its Candace and colby. Colby says its not always the best idea to start dropping names in your own tribe and its a good way to get taken out early. Jeff ends tc by asking if benry is keeping his idol and he says yes. Jeff sends rib to vote first and his vote is for James. James shows his vote for rob. Benry is up and he states that he's sorry but its a game and someone has gotta go. Jeff goes to tally the votes. Once the votes are read the decision is final the person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. If anyone has hidden immunity now is the time. Jonathan looks at benry but benry doesn't budge.
