Following JB's departure; the MERGE occurred! The 10 remaining castaways in the game became the Maluku Tribe! For the remainder of the season; castaways would garnish Dark Green Buffs. 6 Original Kelang Tribe members and 4 Original Flores Tribe members. In a game full of huge moves and power shifts; anything could happen with the Final result.....
With castaways adapting to the Individual aspect of the game; they also had to compete for Immunity Individually. With Individual Immunity now on the line. Their was no one to rely on but, your social prowess, your strategic game play, and your physical effort put into the game. The game truly began with the merge as Castaways competed in their first Individual challenge of the season. With his back against the wall; this castaway worked for the necklace as they outperformed nine other castaways for safety.
DJ F. WINS INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY!
At Tribal Council; tensions ran high as paranoia of Idols and the countless relations made throughout the game were on everyone's minds. This led to an extremely divided vote leading to one castaway's departure. The vote ultimately came down to one vote as Tribal Council played out......
HOST - "If anybody has a Hidden Immunity Idol and would like to play it; now would be the time to do so...."
*Kasey H. stands and hands me a carved-like object*
Kasey H. - "Like there’s really no way of knowing whether this is worth my time or not because no one talks to me... but I’m using this on myself."

ALL votes cast against the person the Idol is played on....will NOT COUNT. This is...........a HIDDEN IMMUNITY IDOL! All votes cast against Kasey H. WILL NOT COUNT!"
With the reveal of Kasey's Hidden Immunity Idol. It led to a Series of Unfortunate events as we witnessed an
#IdolTrain occur for the first time throughout 18 seasons.....
Julian W. - "HOLD UP BRO. This isn't how I go out. Not yet. I'm playing this on myself."

With DJ F. holding onto Individual Immunity. Both Kasey H. and Julian W. playing Idols for themselves. And Jayson playing an Idol on Stoner. It left 6 castaways vulnerable as the most shocking vote sent one castaway packing just before the start of the Jury....
HOST - "That's 9 votes read. All of which do NOT COUNT. 1 vote remains."
