Night 12
After Ellie leaves tribal council, Jeff tells all the tribes to drop their buffs. There are mixed reactions as the three tribes shed their buffs and leave them at their feet. Passing around a chest with glass bottles with paper rolled up inside, Jeff asks each castaway to take one and reveals that in each bottle, there is the name of a tribe on a piece of paper. He also offers the castaways a choice. They can open their bottle right away, find out their tribe and then go back to camp with that tribe or they can wait until tomorrow at the reward challenge. "none"

- You can either uncork the bottle tonight, learn your fate and go home with your new tribe or uncork it tomorrow at your next reward challenge. Be warned, if your bottle's seal is broken before the reward challenge, you will suffer some sort of setback before your next tribal council.

He then asks if anyone wants to step forward. Margot steps forward first and Max tries stop her by grabbing her shoulder. Ali steps forwards a second later. After a go-ahead from Jeff, Margot smashes her bottle down on the ground as Ali uncorks his. Ali disappointedly reveals that he will stay on Luta while Margot pulls her slip of paper out of the broken glass, revealing that she will be moving to Sarigan. The tribes then leave tribal council. "luta"

- I took my chances and chose to open the bottle now because I wanted to get away from the original Luta tribe. What does my bottle say? Luta.

Day 13
At Luta, Isaac, David, Noemi, and Karina meet to discuss their fate after the switch. They agree to try and recruit as many members from the other tribes to go into the merge strong. "luta"

- We're really hoping we all stay on the same tribe. If not, we want to go in two-two, so no one's isolated.

At Sarigan, Margot chats with the Sarigan tribe. She hits it off really well with Rayya, and they talk about Hollywood, Margot sharing some of her SFX experiences and Rayya talking about her modeling career. "sarigan"

- Margot and I have some and common. We’ve both worked on movie sets and photo shoots and we’ve had some of the same experiences.
