Who will be voted off tonight?

With 9 remaining Survivors, viewers are confronted by the big question, ?Who will be voted off tonight?? Will the small but mighty Aitu continue to defeat the larger but weaker Raro? The game abruptly changed when Jeff pulled out some paintbrushes, a blank tribe flag, and new buffs. He announced that the tribes had merged to form a new tribe.

Aitutonga

The new tribe name was chosen? Aitutonga was a mixture of both tribe names.

The survivors were taken on a boat to Raro?s island, the island the survivors unanimously decided to call their new home.

Jonathan sounds off

As Jonathan continues to question whether he made the right move when he became a mutineer, he again looks down on his Raro tribe mates. ?These kids are vomiting- they?re eating and drinking so much. I?m here to win a million dollars,? he comments. ?They?re psycho.?

Adam, the player

Although we?ve been treated to nauseating images of Candice and Adam being ?lovey- dovey? for weeks, today, Adam was cuddled up to Pavarti, actually trying to slip a hand below the waistband of her pants. ?What about Candice?? She asked. Adam?s reply was, ?You can both appreciate me.? Can someone pass me a barf bag?

A bold strategy

Outnumbered and still the underdog, the former Aitu tribe mates scramble to form a strategy. Yul fesses up to having the immunity necklace, formulating a plan that could carry the former Aitu to the final four. To make his plan work, he has to convince Jonathan to rejoin them in strategizing.

Can you really trust a traitor?

As Yul confesses to Jonathan that he has the immunity idol, Jonathan remains ?wishy-washy?. Viewers have no idea if Jonathan will vote with the Aitu tribe or try to maintain his new, shaky alliance with the Raro members. Jonathan knows he?s in a tough place. ?I could be the guy who betrays every single person during the game at one time or another,? He moans.

Individual immunity

The first individual immunity challenge is a basic but difficult one. The survivors are told to climb up a pole with sections of rope on it. They are to hang on to the pole with only little loops of rope to support their weight. The survivor to hang on the longest wins immunity and another night free from a tribal counsel vote.

Hanging tough

Down? down they go. We watch as the survivors fall from their grip on the pole one by one. Adam was the first to land on the ground. Nate was next. Sundra followed suit. Yul finally fell. Pavarti was next followed by Becky. Candice and Ozzy were still hanging tough. Candice showed off at one point, even doing some knee bends. Ozzy looked deep in concentration. Finally, Ozzy won the battle of strength and wills as Candice landed on the ground.

Back at camp

Back at camp, Jonathan brings up the possibility of Yul maybe having the immunity idol to the former Raro tribe members. ?He doesn?t have it,? was the adamant response as they all insisted they needed to vote out Yul who they felt was the mastermind behind the tribe. Candice and Adam appeared to be more concerned about making out and groping each other than strategizing about the vote. Yul and the former Aitu crew still try to convince Jonathan to vote with him even offering to vote off whichever Raro tribe member Jonathan wants. Jonathan admits that if he had to choose, he?d get rid of Nate, but he doesn?t know if he can betray his new tribe.

Tribal counsel

At tribal counsel, viewers wait to how things turn out. In the end, it?s a close vote between Nate and Yul. Yul prevails as Nate is voted out.

Parting words of love from Nate

As the credits roll and the votes are revealed, viewers confirm their assumption that Jonathan voted for Nate. Nate spills his feelings. ?Jonathan,? he says to the camera, ?you can kiss my ass. You?re a dirty, stinky, whack fruitcake. You sold me out and sold out our tribe when we brought you in, you traitor bastard, so you can kiss my ass.?
