Survivor: OMG IT'S THE MERGE!!

Hello and welcome to the lazy girl's Survivor update!  I apologize for missing last week but I was still dancing on tabletops celebrating the election.  Basically it came down to a decision between Angelina and Lyrsa and Lyrsa was sent home.  

So this week we are having a lazy morning on the beach drinking what's left of the coffee when.....the other 2 tribes arrive and OMG IT'S THE MERGE!!!  It's finally time to start playing!!!  

And there is food and drink!  John is happy because he was starting to lose his Stretch Armstrong "macros and guns".  Everyone is inhaling the food and Gabby is looking around for some kind of clue or advantage.  And if there was one nobody found it, even though the cameraman zoomed in several times on the sign that say EVERY THINK YOU NEED FOR THE REST OF THE GAME IS RIGHT HERE.  

Angelina is sitting next to Carl who is inhaling the beer and he tells them that Alec flipped against Natalia.  Angelina is spreading the rumor and doesn't trust Alec now.  There's a 6 David/7 Goliath split right now and one person can change the game.  

Carl is a bit drunk and telling all the other men that he can't stand Elizabeth because she's totally annoying.  He want to git her gone.  

Christian and Nick meet and confirm that they are still the Mason to the other's Dixon.  Nick tells him that Dan has an idol.  

Dan and Kara meet back on the beach and, as he sucks his formerly fat stomach in, Nick breathlessly tells Kara he found another idol.  He wasn't going to tell her but he is apparently powerless around a hot blond.  

The Goliaths strut on the beach and crow about how they are all totally a unified group.  They discuss Elizabeth but Angelina want Christian gone.  Nick argues that Christian is a cool cat but Angelina is all power hungry control freaking that is HAS TO BE CHRISTIAN.  

Alec has a bond with Christian.  Alec is loving the merge and wanting to start trouble.  "There's gonna be tears shed and idols flushed".  

Overnight Dan and Kara chat for about 2 hours and Elizabeth is annoyed and troubled about the duo.  

Mike is looking for an alliance outside of just Goliath as well.  He talks to Alison who tells him she and Alec are tight and are planning to vote with Goliath for maaaybe 2 votes.  Mike also likes Nick and wants to bring him along.  Alec tells him he is in a thing with Christian and Gabby so now they have a 6 under the radar alliance.  Christian calls it the counter insurgency, and says Alec is ready to move by spearheading the 6 group and waiting to take out a Goliath target when they see fit.  

Elizabeth is still annoyed by Dan and Kara is is lobbying Carl and then Alec to get rid of Dan.  Dan is still playing double agent so he goes and tells Kara and Dan that Elizabeth wants Dan out.  Which sends Dan, who has 2 idols in his pocket (and probably little else...) into crazy land.  Kara is like, dude, get a hold of your baby self!  

Challenge:  Jeff tells them this is the first individual immunity challenge and he shows off the new necklace.  it's a new challenge I think where they have to swing a pendulum through a metal frame which is around a statue.  If you lose momentum or drop the statue you are out.  It comes down to Elizabeth and Alison, and Alison ends up with immunity.  

The Goliaths go back to camp and again stroll on the beach like royalty discussing who is going.  Angelina wants Christian and she goes into some military lingo to make her point and "fire up my troups". She's all cocky about getting them to follow her.  Dan is annoyed because 1) he also likes Christian and 2) Elizabeth said his name.  He's annoyed at Angelina for thinking she is in the military just because she learned a few phrases from her husband.  

Gabby is upset that they are just sitting around waiting to see which one of them is being voted off.  "We are just so pathetic that we are basically telling them we will vote off one of our own just to go a bit farther".  

Alison and Alec talk and discuss that Angelina is annoying.  The don't want to vote for Christian because they will lose trust with the rest of their new alliance. They talk tot he Goliath bro's sitting around the beach drying out their muscles and they all decide they want Elizabeth instead.  Dan and one of the other bro's talk to Angelina and tell her they've changed their minds and it's Elizabeth.  Which makes Angelina nuts.  She's pissed, and then she cries, and then she calls Elizabeth over and tells her it's her and she doesn't want her to be blindsided.  

Elizabeth goes over to Gabby and the other Davids and tells them she is the one going.  Gabby suggests they tell the Goliaths that Angelina is telling their plans.  

 Tribal

Alison agrees that the first vote after the merge sets a tone.  "I'm glad I'm immune because there is a ton of relationships to manage"
Alec also agrees that there are a lot of different alliance variations people can take now and there are many conversations going on.  He says everything is shifted, which is a surprise to Angelina.  
Angelina says it's still a David vs Goliath split and that the Goliaths want to be more conservative with their vote and she agrees

Elizabeth pipes up that they are in fact not all in agreement and that there is a fracture.  She points out that Angelina told her that she was being voted off.
Angelina tells Elizabeth that she is showing bad strategy in telling people that, and goes on to suggest that she didn't really tell her she was non committal.  
Alison points out that Angelina is starting jury management.
Angelina restates that she was non commital in her talk with Elizabeth
Gabby refutes that because Elizabeth specifically told them what Angelina said
Alison points out that she is trying to pocket her vote by telling her she is sorry to see her go.  

Stupid Jeff asks if this isn't just playing the game and Angelina jumps in to say that yes, she is just doing what a good player does and Elizabeth is just trying to save herself
Gabby gets upset and points out that the David's SHOULD be doing whatever they can to save themselves and the Goliaths are expecting them to just roll over.  

Everyone is up and talking to each other.  

Angelina says she should have lied but she is trying to play the game AS A LOVING PERSON, which is fucking hilarious.  
Jeff points out to her that now people have a perception of her...

Elizabeth says that her goal is that some of the Goliaths would join the Davids side (meanwhile lots of discussions still going on)

Angelina says that she's now excited to vote for Elizabeth.  

Vote

Angelina 1, Elizabeth 7.  "Good luck, I love you all".  Ang:"funny way of showing it....."
