WOW what a Tribal!
Alicia blindside, that was not what I expected.
Yet another power shift at the Villians. As a Viewer, I'm loving it. As a player on that tribe, it does not look good for the merge.
And a tie at Heroes! That's a little bit of a shock, but Shawn and Mearl were both on the outs I think? So I think it was a divide and conquer since Heroes seem a bit wary of an idol.
I think for the tribe, it's best if they get rid of Mearl while they have a chance. If he sticks around now, especially after getting votes, it could cause a little chaos in the Heroes. Honestly, I think activity on challenges can be overrated sometimes, the Heroes are strong enough for the most part that losing Mearl doesn't kill them. The "keep me over the self-voter for challenges," is a bit of a weak argument on an All-Stars season.
