Last night wasnt nearly as good as I was expecting it to be - but then again, I dont really know what I expected, so ... maybe just more back stabbing, blindsides, scrambling, etc. lol

After the merge last week, the tribe went back to the camp and had their merge feast and a few people did a bit of conversing and scrambling; but the overall feel for us, the viewers, was that the new Salani tribe (originally, all women, but then 4 women and 3 men) would stick together and vote off the new Manano tribe (originally all men, but then 3 women and 4 men), even though those in the new Manano tribe thought they were in the same original Manano alliance - meaning, all the men together.

They had a reward challenge where Jeff separated them into to groups of 6 and the winning group got to go have pizza and beer and learn that there was another immunity idol back at camp (keep in mind that Kim found a hidden immunity idol a few days ago and told only Chelsea).

The next morning, Troyzan, who said he is usually up a couple of hours before everyone else, went looking for and found the other hidden immunity idol - and, smartly, imo, told no one.

The immunity challenge was standing on a log, holding a tray with first 1, then 2, then 3 balls - last one left standing was Troyzan and the scrambling started.

The new Salani tribe decided to stick together and vote off Jonas, who was on the new (and old) Manano tribe, because they felt he was the biggest threat on that tribe. The women of the new Salani tribe liked this idea because (a) it's voting off a man and (b) it's voting off a new Manano tribe member so whether they stick with their new Salani alliance or their older female alliance, they were good.

During all of this, Tarzan wanted to wash his nasty-shit-stained (he claimed it was "dirt") drawers. While he was wandering around trying to convince people the stains in his drawers were dirt stains, Chelsea was off in the ocean cleaning her clothes and then adding a pot of water to the fire so she could then boil her clothes.

Tarzan decided to toss his nasty drawers into the the pot of water with Chelsea's clothes that she just scrubbed in the ocean which made mer remove her clothes from the pot - but not before offering to go wash Tarzan's clothes in the ocean for him before adding them to the pot.

This whole exchange irritated me because (a) Chelsea acted like it was her job to clean the dude's laundry and (b) Tarzan acted like it was anyone's job but his to clean his own damn drawers. Nasty nasty man.

Anyway at tribal, the shit hit the fan when Jonas talked about being a provider (he's good at fishing and is a chef, so he was able to cook some good food for them) and not a huge threat in immunity challenges and then threw Mike under the bus because he is a large and muscular man who could be a threat - he also mentioned how the new Manano tribe's plan of voting off Kat wasnt a good idea, which made his tribe/alliance raise their eyebrows at him.

This all pissed off Tarzan, who then decided he wanted to vote off Jonas since Jonas threw their plan to hell & he also went off, Tarzan style.

So basically, Jonas and Leif (the little dude) voted for Mike, but everyone else voted for Jonas. Jonas told Tarzan no hard feelings, but Tarzan said he still had hard feelings. After Jeff snuffed Jonas' fire, Jonas told them all good luck with the food and left.

Next week's preview looks like the women might be re-banding together to re-form their all woman alliance to vote off the guys ... we'll see.
