MERGE MANIA!!!!!

MERGEMERGEMERGEMERGEMERGEMERGEMERGEMERGE  It's all about the MERGE!!!

We start out with 2 tribes (are they still called tribes??).  Savage has the sads that he was surprised at Woo going home.  I think it was Woo.  Was it Woo?  Anyway, he has the sads and thinks he is playing with professional LIARS.  He is especially MAD at Kass who left him out to dry.  He asks her why and she gives him some vague answer about timing or secrecy or whatever.  She is really too full of herself.  Even so, Savage has to kiss her ass and tell her he's loyal and wants to be her bitch until the MERGE.

Kass and Spencer also call a truce, although it's just a truce because Kass feels she has him by the balls.  She says "see?  this is what should have happened last season we were together".   

On Bayon, they get mail saying that they are to await visitors.  OMG IS IT THE MERGE???  ARE WE MERGING???  HOW CAN WE BE MERGING???  THE MERGE ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THERE ARE 10 OR LESS PEOPLE AND WE ARE AT 13!!  HOW ON EARTH CAN THIS BE A MERGE?????  OMG OMG OMG.  

Tai Bo gets mail telling them to pack up and follow the map to their new home.  OMG!!!  IT IS THE MERGE!!!!!  HOLY MOTHER OF MERGER SURPRISES!!  Ciera takes a few minutes out of MERGE mania to express her fear of Savage getting back together with his original friends.  She and Kass declare they have to FIND AND EXPLOIT THE CRACKS.

So, yes, it's a merge and food.  Remember back in the day when FOOD was a big deal?  Now they get fed so much they're like "oh, I'm off carbs this week".  I believe the buffs are red or orange, and they decide to call themselves ORKUN, after that chain of exterminators.  Savage and Jeremy meet up and decide they are still good.  They bemoan that the game is going to go EVEN FASTER NOW!  It's still Bayon vs Tai Bo, but 7 is the magic number.  They strategize that they have a 5 solid alliance (Savage, Jeremy, Tasha, Kimmie and Fish).  They think they can get Joe and Wiggles.  

Kass also knows the magic number is 7.  She has a strong 5 with Ceira, Kelley, Keith, Abi and now has Spencer under her thumb.  They're plan is to keep using Spencer and bring in Joe too.  

Savage talks to Joe, who once again is playing a loner game.  Joe tells him he's gonna wait and feel things out.  Wentworth tries to feel Spencer out.  Spencer and Joe meet on the beach and Spencer tries to explain to him what the numbers are and why they are the 2 in the middle.  I think perhaps Joe is never part of a big group because he is unable to count past 4.  Which is OK because he is great eye candy.  Spencer draws a little picture in sand of who is with who but Joe has left the building.  

Next day is a rainy one and they are all in the shelter.  Fish amuses them with poetry.  Kass is getting pissed off because there is an apparent Brodown going on.  Kass decides to work on Tasha, telling her that they are going to work to get rid of her because she is good with challenges.  Tasha has no good feelings for Kass, and basically decides to bullshit her instead of allowing Kass to get info out of her.  She insinuates there isn't really still a Bayon alliance, and says something about the vote is what the group decides.  Kass gets pissed off and says "lines are beginning to be drawn".  She feels Tasha is going to mess with her second change and perhaps Chaos Kass needs to come out.  

Next morning Kass is again obsessing that Bayon is going to run the show.  She confronts Tasha again and tells her "yesterday went badly".  Tasha admits she doesn't trust Kass and told her wrong information.  Kass gets all  crazy and says "you didn't learn from your last season".  They return to the group and Kass starts telling them that Tasha told her a lie that there is no more Bayon alliance.  She states that she can't be trusted and she is voting Tasha out.  Ciera gets into the action and tells everyone that Savage and Woo talked about getting rid of "the  big people" aka Joe and Jeremy first after the merge.  Savage insists it's a lie and has decided that there is a 2 headed (Kass and Ciera) dragon that needs to go.  

Individual Challenge

Oooh, it's a fancy idol this time around!  Red velvet and gold lame!  Very bollywood.  It's a balance challenge.  Balance a ball on a dish, while standing on a beam.  Jeff asks Ciera how the mood is post mood and she tells him it left "confusion". 

Ok, Joe wins.  As expected since he is A MIRACLE CHALLENGE ANIMAL.  

BIG TRIBAL DECISION TONIGHT!!!  Savage says that Kass and Ciera are liars and need to go.  He wants Ciera.  He talks to Joe and Wiggles (which is interesting since he hasn't secured Joe's vote and he just gave away the strategy).  Wiggles wants Kass.  Most people want Kass, including me.  

Spencer talks with Jeremy.  Says they need to get rid of a trouble maker.  Jeremy wants Kass.  Spencer feels the wind shifting  and he doesn't think he can spare Kass.  They decide since they don't know if Kass has an idol to split the vote 5/4.  Keith finally expresses an opinion and says he'd go with Kass.  

Kass sees that brodown is happening.  She thinks Keith is also in with them, and that they may split the vote.  If Keith is voting with the men then they need 1 vote to block the split vote.  Kass talks to Spencer and suggests that they could get rid of Tasha.  Spencer admits Tasha is a friend but Kass and Ciera saved him.  

Tribal
Joe and Keith amazingly have made it to the merge without going to tribal so we have to hear the fire is your life bullshit again.  
Ciera admits that the game is going fast and is chaotic.
Kass says she's not playing the chaos game this time around but Tasha is.
Tasha is like OH NO YOU DIDN'T.  Do not go there.  
Kass reiterates that Tasha told her the Bayon tribe alliance was no more.  
Ciera jumps in and says Kass is telling the truth on some things.
Jeff asks Tasha who she is saying is lying and she says both of them
Ciera says she is getting guilt by association.  Says she is worried.
Joe states that no one wants to jump out of their safe alliance and says Kass, Ciera and Tasha are the easiest decision.  
Ceira gets all bent out of shape about taking the easy route and says people need to PLAY THE DAMN GAME DAMMIT.  She wants people to forget their alliances and go with the votes that will advance THEM not the alliance.  
Spencer admits that how he plays tonight might not reflect how he plays tomorrow
OOOOOOH Jeff gets shivers down his thigh and asks if Survivor is changing AS WE SPEAK???
Fish says that yes, in fact WE MAY BE WITNESSING THE EVOLUTION OF SURVIVOR STRATEGY.  LOL
Jeff asks, so are we talking just voting blocks for each tribal??  
Ciera says unless you are in the top 4 you need to be constantly in GAME MODE.

Time to vote.  Any idols?  Nope

Tasha gets 2, Ciera gets 4, Savage gets 1 and Kass gets the magic 5 and is the first bitch on the Jury!  Incidentally, after her big GAME PLAY speech, Ciera basically threw her vote away on Savage.
