Ep. 3 Re-cap

Flirting and Frustration

Reward Challenge - Merge!
Drop buffs. Now 2 tribes integrated. Merger is reward. Lots were drawn for captains and then new tribes were chosen.

New Tribes

Aitu: Jonathan, Flica, Cao Boi, Ozzy, Candice, Yul, Becky, Sundra, Cecilia

Raro: Parvati, Nate, Brad, Adam, Cristina, Jenny, JP, Rebecca, Stephannie

Immunity Challenge
Endurance loop. Tribes are tied together and carry packs (weighing 15 pounds) as they try to catch the other tribe on a oval track in knee deep water.

Winner gets Immunity and selects someone from the losing tribe for Exile (who will also miss Tribal Council).

Raru won Immunity.

Exiled: Candice.

Scheming
It looks like it will be Becky or Cecilia. Cao Boi, Ozzy, Flica and Cecilia want to vote off Becky. Cao Boi says she's a princess out here. Jonathan had an alliance set up with Yul, Becky and Candice. Jonathan thought that he could control Flica but she is reluctant to go along with him and Candice is on Exile Island.

Tribal Council
Pretty uneventful, the usual 'how do you feel about the merge' stuff.

Voted Off
Cecilia, 5 votes to 3.
Final words (paraprased): It just shows how quickly the game can change . . . no regrets, I got a chance to do things I never thought I'd do and probably never will again . . . this may weaken the tribe.

Jeff: You don't appear to be unified which can be risky since this game is unpredictable.

Water Cooler Talk
Here's what they'll be talking about at work in the morning.

New tribes due to merge!

Who was the swing vote - Flica? Did Jonathan get her to change her mind?

Did you see that octopus that Nate speared?

Parvati is a bad flirt, she's to obvious about it. What's happened to the subtle art of flirting?
