Night 19
Ethan and Natalie A enter the Redemption Island campsite. Boston Rob is ecstatic to see Ethan because it means Danni pullled off a big move to save herself. Natalie A says she has to make sure that Boston Rob and Richard don't make the merge. Richard will go back to Tina and Boston Rob will go back to Danni. She thinks Ethan making merge will be the safest route.
Day 20
Pagong, Samburu, and Timbira arrive at the arena for the final duel of the game. The inhabitants arrive and everyone is surprised to see that Ethan and Natalie have been voted out. Jeff reveals the hardest duel challenge yet. All four RI inhabitants seem confident going in.
The duel begins, everyone is doing well but Natalie A has a slight lead. Boston Rob quickly falls out after getting caught in the first stage. Ethan and Richard catch up to Natalie while Rob moves onto the second stage. Ethan passes by Natalie to take the lead. Not long after, Richard passes up Natalie as well. She begins to fall out of it as Rob catches up to her. Richard passes by Ethan to take the lead and Boston Rob catches up to both of them. Natalie trails them. Ethan/Richard/Boston Rob get held up in the last stage allowing Natalie to make ground. She eventually catches up to them. Before they even realize it, Natalie A has completed the duel earning her spot in the Final 12. With only one spot remaining, Ethan/Richard/Boston Rob beging to panic a little. Richard and Boston Rob complete the challenge within seconds of each other, but it is Boston Rob who finished before Richard.
14th - Ethan
13th - Richard
Ethan and Richard say their goodbyes and head out of the arena, dropping their buffs into the fire on the way out.
Jeff tells the castaways to drop their buffs. They have merged. He hands out blue tribe buffs (a reference to the merged tribe color from All-Stars). He says they are now Rattana (a reference to the first merged Survivor tribe). Everyone greets one another, some having not been on the same tribe before and some not having seen each other since Day 11. Rattana heads out of the arena.
Rattana arrives at the old Samburu camp site. They all enjoy the merge feast basket before making the shelter larger to fit all 12 of them. Everyone knows there would be a clue in the basket for the location of the new merge idol, but Yul is the first to notice and take it. Fortunately for him, no one sees him do so. He says in confessional that he needs something to strengthen his and Tina's place in the game after losing Ethan. They need all the help they can get against Boston Rob's alliance.
Yul pulls Tina aside after the feast to show her the hidden immunity idol clue. They take the machete and tell the others that they are going to get more wood for the shelter. Boston Rob offers to join them but Earl and Sandra go instead. Earl and Sandra talk strategy on the walk and all four agree that Boston Rob and Parvati are the biggest merge targets. One of them has to go now. Earl says he is cool with voting either of them out, depending on who wins immunity. Yul and Tina agree. They make a pact to vote one of them out. To gain their loyalty, Yul and Tina show Earl and Sandra the clue to the idol. Sandra says in confessional that they shouldn't have done that. She plans to tell Parvati and Natalie A.
Boston Rob and Danni talk to the old Samburu tribe (Jenna/Fabio/Denise/Todd) about working together. They fake interest and Denise says in her confessional that she has no plans to work with Boston Rob. She wants him out. Todd goes off with Boston Rob and Danni to gain their trust while Jenna/Fabio/Denise stay behind to talk about the upcoming vote. Jenna says she thinks they should talk to Tina and Yul first. They need them to gain a majority over Boston Rob and Danni. They think Rob/Danni will sway Parvati to their side and she brings Sandra/Earl/Natalie A with her. Fabio suggests they talk to Natalie A to so they can get a 7 to 5 majority. He thinks she's on the outs with her tribe because they voted her out.
Yul/Tina/Sandra/Earl begin their hunt for the hidden immunity idol. After a while, they turn up nothing. They decide they've got to get to work on getting wood for the shelter and fire. The others would be suspicious if they come back empty handed. Yul begins to work on chopping down some branches when he spots the idol. He quickly snatches it up. Only Tina sees him do so. He puts it in his pocket. Tina says in confessional that when she saw him find it, she could barely contain her glee. Tina and Yul whisper to each other to not tell Sandra and Earl. They return to camp with enough fire wood to not arouse suspicion.
Day 21
Denise/Fabio/Jenna/Todd talk to Tina and Yul about voting together to get out Boston Rob/Parvati. On the other side of camp Boston Rob/Danni talk to Parvati/Natalie A about aligning to get out Tina and Yul. Parvati seems on board but Natalie A is hesitant. Natalie says in confessional if she had her way Tina/Boston Rob/Parvati would be the first three members of the jury.
Day 22
Rattana arrives at their first individual immunity challenge. Jeff announces that one female and one male would win immunity. The final seven women compete first. Parvati wins immunity after nearly losing to Tina and Natalie A. The final five men compete next. Yul wins immunity after nearly losing to Fabio and Boston Rob. Jeff puts the individual immunity necklaces on Parvati and Yul, saying they are the only ones safe tonight at tribal where someone will become the first member of the jury.
Rattana returns to camp. Boston Rob and Danni talk to Parvati/Sandra/Earl/Natalie A about voting together to vote out Tina. Meanwhile, Tina and Yul talk to Denise/Fabio/Jenna/Todd about voting out Boston Rob. Both sides realize they've created a tie vote. Sandra and Earl are torn. Sandra knows Rob better, but she and Earl feel like they can trust Tina more. They talk about how they are in the middle again. Jenna talks to Natalie A about the upcoming vote. Fabio joins them. Natalie admits she feels on the bottom of her alliance. Parvati took her spot. Jenna and Fabio propose a final three deal with Natalie in hopes of getting her vote. Natalie A admits in a confessional that she is leaning more towards voting Boston Rob out. Boston Rob would keep Parvati around for a while and she doesn't want that. After Jenna/Fabio leave, Natalie A goes to talk with Yul about the vote. She's still undecided. Natalie A and Yul return just in time for Rattana to head out to tribal council.
At tribal council, Jeff asks about major alliances that started pre-merge. Jenna talks about how several alliances merged into two alliances at the merge. Natalie A says Rattana is split down the middle six to six. Boston Rob says tonight will decide the course of the game. Jeff asks about the leaders of the two alliances Parvati said it's basically Tina vs. Boston Rob. Yul says everyone is on edge because there is no more Redemption Island. With Tina adding the safety net is gone. When you're done you're done now. Jeff instructs them all to vote. The 12 vote and return. Jeff retrieves the urn and asks if anyone has a hidden immunity idol they would like to use. Jenna and Yul sit still. Jeff reveals the vote:
First vote: TINA....
....
BOSTON ROB....TINA....
....
BOSTON ROB....TINA....
....
BOSTON ROB....TINA....
....
BOSTON ROB...."We have a tie, four votes Boston Rob and four votes Tina. Four votes left."
....
TINA....BOSTON ROB....
....
"A five-five tie, two votes left."
....
TINA....
....
"Eleventh person voted out and the first member of our jury is TINA."
Jenna, Denise, and Todd ask who flipped. Yul says goodbye to Tina. Tina says her goodbyes to the rest of the tribe. She brings her torch to Jeff who snuffs it. Tina heads out to Ponderosa. Rattana heads out next.
