after tribal taj is releaved not to be voted out while joe feels like the odd one out. jalapao is feeling a bit down after being down in numbers. coach spends time meditating doing his coach chi he says that he needs to be centered and mentally relaxed he is thinking about the merge. erinn makes fun of his meditation but is happy it makes him mr nice guy brendan also makes fun a bit of coach. joes leg is still causing him problems and it worries the tribe that they will have to pull him from the game. with the merge coming up jt is anxious about what will happen with joes leg to their numbers. tree mail indicates a feast and a possible merge. jts out for redemption when the tribes arrive they find its the merge with candy and water and a few things of the feast moving to the timbira camp. coach immeditaely likes jt and stephen and forms an alliance with them debbie and tyson. the merged tribe name is forza (which means stregenth in portugese). stephen keeps some info to himself. jt hopes and he is riht there is a power struggle in timbira. jt even says the shelter at timbira si lucky to be standing. the warrior alliance between coach, jt, stpehen, tyson and debbie is already formed. jt even says to coach there are 2 idols but coach is hypercritical lying alot. coach wants to target brendan right away. tyson tells stephen the plan for the long run and confirms jt which has improved jts view of him. taj is worried about brendan and sierra who haven’t talked much which has taj succspicious. brendan wants to target joe and jt next which targeting jts wrong. joe is the first target according to brendan but tyson is only entertaining the idea. joe and erinn affirm their brief alliance and find out that the idols been found by either brendan and sierra. the immunity challenge is hanging onto a poll for the longest wins immunity we have had this challenge a few times in the past. joes leg causes him problems and is 2nd out after stephen and is in pain with jeff (the host) noticing its bad. brendan and taj are next out and erinn not long after. leaving jt against 4 original timbira. jt is next out so its only old timbira. coach steps down next. sierras down and is a little saugh meaning its tyson v debbie and tyson wins immunity. joe is told to stay behind for medical look at the knee. the medical team knows its serious and because its close to the bone so decide to pull him from the game. stephen thinks joe is gone from the game but not sure what effect it is the target is still brendan or jt. tyson still makes fun of sierra (not to her face). stephen and jt decide to talk about which way to go but tyson interupts with food question and tyson decides to pull in erinn for the numbers but the vote is still not certain. the tribe is still worried about joe though brendan is worried that he could be in trouble which is true. coach and jt confirm the plan but at the last minute decide to make it a split vote 4-3 between brendan and sierra which is the safe bet. jeff visits the camp to reveal joes out of the game and there will be no tribal tonight (he visits during a downpoor). joe won’t be on the jury though.
next time will the plan to take out brendan succeed and brendan makes a move against coach.
