Well after an explosive week out here in Laos.  The twelve of you have managed to surpass all the obstacles that came in front of you.  Now the next stage of the game will commence and with four original members left on each tribe it should be intense.

Everyone...

DROP YOUR BUFFS!

You are now merged.

*tosses out yellow buffs*

Congrats to the twelve of you that have made the merge.  You guys will now name the merge tribe relating to something in Laos whether it's the culture you guys need to sign off on it and need my stamp of approval as well.

The live challenge is still happening at 8pm EST.
