At Gomane tribe, Thomas blew out after Jordan flipping over to the other alliance, in Mazaki, Sally agreed to go with Patrick and Michelle, but in reality, she want to side with Danielle's alliance, which Michelle found out about and she got mad. Back at Gomane tribe, Jordan and Thomas got into an argument, as Bosco's alliance do anything to keep Jordan and Thomas to flip in merge, Rachel said she will go with Thomas, but Jordan didn't trust. The day after, Michelle killed the tribes last chicken and threw it in the fire, causing chaos. In the reward challenge, Gomane won victory and got to go to Jellyfish Lake. After, Jordan and Thomas began to mend as Thomas tried to get Bosco to side with them and get a men alliance instead which Bisci doesn't trust, as Andrea also encouraged the team to build up their teamwork. In the immunity challenge, Gomane won the first immunity challenge in twelve days, back at Gomane tribe, Bosco's alliance starts to discuss what to do at merge and who to get out, also, Jordan thinks of flipping right away after merge which Thomas does not agree of, in Mazaki tribe, Michelle tricked Patrick that he is perfectly safe at the night since they will split votes and Sally will flip, but in reality, Michelle knows that Sally won't flip, and is thinking of playing her idol. Danielle's alliance is planning to split votes in Michelle and Patrick,and vote Michelle at the re-vote. But at Tribal Council, in order to save her idol, Michelle also voted out Patrick, and he was voted off.

Jeff Probst: Patrick, the tribe has spoken.

10 remain, who will be voted off tonight?

Challenges
Immunity Challenge:

Winner: TBD

Night 18
The camera shows the Mazaki tribe returning from Tribal Concuil.

Danielle: (whispering) She vote Patrick right?

Sally: Yeah. Just what a selfish move.

"mazaki"

- I can't believe that Michelle actually back-stabbed her ally, I know it is for survival, but still, I think she is so selfish.

Danielle: Don't go and rip her apart please, we can't risk ker fliiping.

James: Yeah, we need to think of another plan at merge, but don't piss her off right now.

Sally: Ok.

The camera shows Michelle on the other side.

"mazaki"

- I voted for Patrick since I wanted to save the idol, and I figured the way to do it is by voting him to let him go 3-2-1 since he will be dumb to vote Zack, and it happened.

Zack: (shouting) We are sleeping now!

Michelle: Coming!

Michelle runs over and heads to sleep as the camera shuts off.

Day 19
The camera shows the Mazaki camp, as it shows all of Mazaki except for Michelle grouping up.

Danielle: Michelle is probably the biggest villain.

James: I know, but what sucks is we still need her at merge.

Zack: This is survivor man, sometimes you need to work with people that you don't want to work with.

Sally: So this is what will happen, we will get Michelle as close with us...

Danielle: And toss her away the moment not needed.

"mazaki"

- Literally I feel really good at the position I am right now, I got a f5, and f4 in f5, and f3 in f4, I can see myself walking to the f3 and yeah, my game is going very good.

Michelle: (coming back) Guys, we got mail! '

Zack: Read it up.

Michelle: 'Grab everything you got, and head over to the Gomane camp, (cheering) You have merged!'

The Mazaki tribe starts cheering and jumps up and down.

"mazaki"

- I made it! I made merge! This is going to be a huge accomplince, this really is! Making merge means a lit, it really does.

"mazaki"

- Booyeah! Heya guys, this is Zack Anderson and I made it to merge, this is gonna be real fun, since all chaos happens at merge, and I am ready for it!

James: (Grabs a map) This is where the Gomane camp is.

Sally: One thing, all of us stick together?

Danielle: (nods) Yeah, we will stick together.

Zack: Time to head on out, go! Go! Go!

Everyone laughs over Zacks comments as the camera moves on to Gomane tribe's Jordan and Thomas together.

Jordan: You do know that merge is likely coming up next, right?

Thomas: Of course I know.

Jordan: So here is what between us, we will not rushy flip, but we will talk to the other tribe and we will weigh our options right?

Thomas: (nodding) Yes. No radical actions before that.

"gomane"

- With Jordan that radical on flipping, I really need to calm him down, he was the person that threw me under the bus, but I am willing to choke in and go with the Gomane tribe, but I don't know why can't he do the same.

As Jordan and Thomas heads back to camp, Andrea and Bosco are together.

Bosco: (glances at Thomas and Jordan) I don't know whether they will be together with us.

Andrea: I know. You can't rush into things, if you rush into them, it might turn worse.

Bosco: Then we will just have to guess our luck and hope.

Andrea: Sometimes, things won't change when they are dead set, so yeah.

"gomane"

- With merge possibly next, I don't know what will happen, my door is still open for Michelle, but with Jordan and Thomas possibly flipping, this still isn't looking good for us.

Rachel: (running back to camp) Guys! We have company!

The camera shows the Mazaki members filling in.

Jordan: (whipspering) So the Patrick guy is gone.

Andrea: Yeah. We will talk about that later.

The Gomane members head up and hug with them as a celebration for merge.

Rachel: So guys, this is our camp.

James: Wow, it is this big? Awesome!

Rachel: Your guys camp is smaller?

Danielle: Obviously.

Thomas: (running back from tree mail) Guys, come! Look at this!

Thomas reveals a box with ten purple buffs.

Michelle: Our merge buffs!

Thomas: Also, look at our tree mail!

The former Gomane tribe members leads the former Mazaki tribe members to their base camp, and there was a feast of fruits and snacks and wine and everyone cheers and put on their new buffs.

"ralane"

- So I lead the Mazaki members to our tree mail, and we find a merge feast and it officially says we have merge! Woohoo! With merge coming with us, this game has gone up to a new level!

Rachel: (stuffing her mouth with food) So what will be our tribe name?

Sally: (Eating a biscuit) Both tribe names combine?

Rachel: Mamane, or Gozaki? Nah, that is so strange.

James: Come on, lets think of a tribe name that is at least normal, those are the oddest tribe names I ever heard.

While most of the merged tribe is still eating, none of them seem to speaks.

Rachel: I know, how about we do Mamane, but change it to Ralane? I think this is much better.

Sally: Ralane... Ralane, does anyone object this tribename?

everyone shakes their heads.

Zack: Nah, it is a very good name. I like to be a Ralane.

Rachel: (chuckling) Ralane it is!

"ralane"

- Well, I kinda like the name Ralane. it really sounds awesome, but technically, mow that new name has formed, the game bgins.

"ralane"

- So actually, I want to be fast with the tribe name since I didn't really care as long as it is something that lacks creativity or ridiculous name, since I have been secretly eating a lot. I seem to be more focused on food since we are basically starving for 18 days and now, time for a refreshment.

As the Ralane tribe has finished eating, everyone returns to their camp and sits now.

Andrea: Gosh, I am full.

Bosco: Me too, that food was horrific full.

Jordan: You tell...

Sally: So, shall we talk about each other's out of game lives? I would love to get to know more of you guys.

Andrea: (smiling) As well as I am in learning about you.

"ralane"

- This merge makes me have five new tribe mates, and it is awesome, like we have basically gone through the same people for a few days by now, having fresh new blood is much better.

The camera cuts through over a few conversations.

Rachel: You left your three kids to play over here?

Sally: Of course, I want to win this game for them and for me.

Rachel: Then who are the children with?

Sally: My husband, probably some day care will look after them...

"ralane"

- I shared my story with them, and it seems like they were more interested, they do seem friendly though, but I won't let them get into the way, a game has to be played.

Bosco: ..... And that is how my life went on.

Danielle: Jeez, so you hold your whole families life?

Bosco: Then, yes. Now, things got better.

"ralane"

- As soon as merge, I have been looking for possible cracks, which I haven't found, so the only possible crack is Andrea who got Michelle on board, and that is what I need to focus on.

"ralane"

- (shaking her head) Are you serious? What is up with all this crap talk? We came to play a game! Ugh, just screwed my tribe members, they are going down... (evil smile)

The camera shows Michelle approaches Rachel and Andrea for a talk.

Andrea: Glad that you made it to merge.

Michelle: Glad that I made it here too.

Rachel: Well, I am with her, so is your ally on board?

Michelle: (shakes head) Nah, he is gone, they voted him out.

Andrea: Ok then, you are sure you are on board?

Michelle: Why not? Why I won't flip when I am on the outs?

Andrea: Ok then, welcome on board to the Gomane tribe!

Michelle: Then who are we getting first?

Rachel: We will let you know till then.

"ralane"

- Things are surely looking good, Michelle still keeps the bonding with us, so it is very likely we have the numbers, things are sure looking good for us. As for if I will keep Michelle over them, I will need to just check.

Michelle: If you have trouble, I will tell you how our tribe are divided. So we have Danielle and Zack who are unusually close by how they touch each other and stuff, then James is the third men where he doesn't want to go against both of them, and Sally I have been trying to convince them to go with me for days and won't listen to me, so there is our dynamics. And also, currently our idol isn't played.

Rachel: Ok, thanks for helping us.

"ralane"

- She is really stupid enough to give us all that, it seems like she is really on the extreme outs, but well, she literally gave us the road to f5, because as you know, flippers doesn't last long.

Bosco then joins the conversation.

Michelle: Well, I guess you guys need a pep talk, I will leave you guys.

Michelle leaves over as Bosco approaches.

Bosco: She is with us right?

Rachel: Most likely yes, she told us the dynamics of her tribe, so this is what she said.....

Bosco: (listening to the whole conversation) Ok, so this is it right? Then who do you think we should get? James is also the most physical guy, so him?

Rachel: Sally will also be a good choice.

Andrea: Her? Why?

Rachel: Look, we need to ensure she won't flip backwards the chance she haves, Jordan and Thomas are also loose from us, so the best is to keep the people that are most far from her as much as possible,so she won't go back to the former Mazaki tribe.

Bosco: Oh yes cool. But we need to keep those two with us, like we won't get anything if they flip.

Andrea: So who will do it?

Bosco: Let me do it. It might be better.

Andrea: Ok, but all of us need to be together for a good talk, so you do the talking then.

"ralane"

- I volunteered to do it because I want to actually contribute here, I realised for the past few voteoffs, I basically didn't do anything, so it is time for me to play the game.

The former Gomane tribe slowly regroups together.

Bosco: Hey guys, good news to all of you, we all talked with Michelle and she is willing to go with us.

Jordan: (surprised) She is?

Andrea: She is on the obvious outs and she said the whple tribe's dynamic and it is.....

Thomas: So who are we voting next time?

Rachel: We are thinking the most physical James or Sally since she is the person that Michelle communicated the most.

Thomas: So the six of us to final 6?

Bosco: Yes, the six of us to final 6, go!

"ralane"

- I know sooner or later, I will have to make a decision with Jordan the next time we go to Tribal Council, we can also go backwards with Mazaki tribe since we are in the bottom of the 3, and I don't even know if they will keep Michelle over us, and that will be a problem.

Afterwards, the camera shows Danielle, James and Sally together.

Danielle: Have you guys saw Michelle?

Sally: I think that I just saw her going to the woods with Andrea and Rachel.

James: Crap... this isn't looking good. You all knows what this means right?

Danielle: She is already considering to flip. But why don't we counter by getting someone on our side?

Sally: Like who?

Danielle: Still remembering how Bosco has been ripping Thomas apart in challenges? I will look for Zack and we will try talking to him.

James: Yes, that is our only hope.

"ralane"

- Oh no, this is looking bad, we are going down like a sinking ship, with a person who is from our tribe openly sank our ship, it seems like we only got ourselves to blame for not keeping her with us, but well, this is life.

Danielle, who got Zack with her approaches Thomas.

Danielle: You up for having a talk?

Thomas: Come at me.

Danielle: So you are on the outs on the original tribe?

Thomas: Well, what if I am?

Zack: Then we would encourage ye flippin.

Thomas: Well... then give me facts that me going with you is better.

Danielle: Look over there. (Points Andrea and Michelle talking together) Michelle is flipping, and by how close they are, they are going to keep her over you, you will be disbanded at the final 6, but I think now if you at least side with us once, by taking a member out, it opens up your options.

Thomas: Bur you do understand that with both sides having one member flipping, it will be a 5-5 vote.

Zack: Then do ye have someone to go with you?

Thomas: (smiles) I did not say I am flipping. Now, thanks for letting me know of your options.

"ralane"

- Chances are chasing after me, it is chasing after me, now I have the ability to flip the game! But however, I did not answer him directly that I would flip, because it is possible that they want to launch a move against me too, if I say I would flip, it is trouble.

"ralane"

- That kid is cheeky, very cheeky, he sounded like he was going with us, but he denies it, cheeky fella. He is sure a nut that is hard to crack.

Afterwards, the camera shows the sun goes down and the camera shuts off.

Day 20
Immediately, the camp shows Ralane base camp.

James: So how do you divide your camp chores?

Jordan: Well, practically, we all do whatever we want.

Thomas: (cutting in) Except the fact that I am the person catching the food all the time.

Danielle: How well do you catch fish?

Thomas: I catch 3 to 4 fishes a day.

James: Every day?

Thomas: Everyday.

Sally: Well, then your style is same with me then. We also do whatever we want every time.

Zack: I am drivin my car into the ocean, anyone wanna hop on?

Jordan: What the...

Danielle: I am!

Sally: He is like this all the time, forget it...

"ralane"

- I sure do like the other tribe now that I have met with them for one day, Zack is pretty fun, Danielle is also a bouncy girl and James himself is mature, Sally is caring... they are kinda more fun than this tribe, really, I wish I can meet with them earlier, and the other tribe sure has momentum, maybe that is their tribe for younger in age.

Rachel: I will go with you guys then, I can pick up strength for sure.

Rachel, Danielle and Zack leaves.

James: Who wanna go to fish?

Bosco: I am going with you.

James and Bosco also leaves.

Andrea: I am going for a walk.

Sally: (smiling) You seem to be nice to talk to, mind if I join you?

Andrea: Sure!

Andrea and Sally also left, leaving Jordan, Thomas and Michelle in camp.

"ralane"

- This is the most helpful thing ever, everyone wants to learn more about everyone in other tribe, now the only ones left at camp is me, Michelle is likely flipping now, but I need to have another conversation, and if I can do things right, I can move myself to the final.

Jordan: Michelle you flipping out?

Michelle: Yes I am.

Jordan: So here is what, me and Thomas are on the outs of the Gomane tribe, and you are likely also, so I would like to propose this, the 3 of us go to the final 3, so we have our own alliance here, how does it sound?

Thomas: You are just going to get picked off the moment they don't need you, there is absolutely no way that those 3 will keep you over one of them, so yeah, shall we make an alliance here?

Michelle can be smirking over that.

"ralane"

- Here comes another load of crap, Andrea is nice, there is no way I am going against them, at first I got nothing to say to Mazaki since they are just saving their ass by loading crap, and here is another bunch of people loading crap, and they are official enemies in my eyes.

Michelle: You want me to vote them out over you guys?

Jordan: Yes of course, probably somewhere down in the final 7.

Michelle: Ok then, we will see about that

Michelle stands up and leaves them.

Thomas: 'We will see about that' is usually no.

Jordan: But she is insane! Why would she side with them!

Thomas: How am I supposed to know!

Jordan: Ugh, I thought she would accept that, but then what if she tells them about what she just says?

Thomas: We are doomed then. That is why I told you not to rush into things...

"ralane"

- Today Jordan proposed a final 3 with me, him and Michelle, but then Michelle did not directly reject us, but she said 'we will see' which obviously means no, and right now, if Michelle tells them about that, me and Jordan are doomed, unless...

Thomas: You know, it is time to talk to Danielle and Zack as a back-up plan.

Jordan: Agreed, if we flip backwards to the Mazaki tribe, despite Michelle flipping, we will still win 6-4, so we are going to talk to them?

Thomas: I think yeah, I will do it.

Jordan: (grabs Thomas's hand) Lets do this buddy.

As the camera shows Jordan and Thomas, it moves onto Danielle, Zack and Rachel in the woods.

Zack: (Up on a tree) I am cutting the tree down, Dan, watch out for 'air mines'!

Rachel: Is he like this all the time?

Danielle: That is Zack to you.

Zack: (climbing down the tree) Ok, help me pick' em up then.

Danielle and Zack pick the wood as Zack once again wraps her shoulders around Danielle's back on the way back as Rachel glances at them.

"ralane"

- I heard from Michelle earlier that Danielle and Zack have been close by touching each other in a close way and stuff, at first I didn't really believe it, but seeing in, I was like 'Wow, are they dating or what?' Dangerous man, couples have to be split.

Rachel: (smiling) Are you guys dating or what? You look really close.

Danielle blushes while Zack gives a smile.

Zack: Ye can say we are, ye can say we aren't, but well, yes we are.

Rachel: (chuckles) Wow, you guys have a 10 year age gap-

Danielle: 13 years.

Rachel: A 13 year age gap, and you guys are dating with that much of a gap?

Zack: No one says we can't bud.

Danielle also smiles as the camera cuts into her confessional.

"ralane"

- This feeling is so special, like although this isn't official, but me and Zack do spend a lot of time and touching each other like couples do, but we never actually said we are dating since this is a very touchy subject, but now will Rachel's help, this is official. I don't care about the age difference, who cares?

As the camera shows Danielle and Zack holding hands and the camera moves on to Andrea and Sally as they are continuing to chat about non-game related situation.

Sally: Wow, you really have a great life and hear about your speeches about life is pretty much cool.

Andrea: (smiling) Everyone is saying that.

Sally: Wish I can meet you outside all this.

Andrea: Me too, hear you talking about your family and your three children is so good, can I hear about them more?

Sally: Sure, I remember when they are young...

"ralane"

- Andrea is one of the most mature girls ever, her words is really beyond her ages, and she is like my mum, or in terms of talking sense, she is better than my mum, it sucks we will need to go against each other.

Sally: So, what is your time of Gomane tribe like?

Andrea: (smiling) Well, we had a lot of good and bad times just like how most tribes are.

Sally: Well, you know our dynamics now since Michelle tells it all to you right?

Andrea: She did tell us everything ... oh damn.

"ralane"

- I can't believe I spoiled that again! I am a huge idiot, I spoiled important information like ten times, I really need to think carefully before I talk...

Sally: She is talking to flip right? No need to hide that, we all know.

Andrea: Well, yes she is.

Sally: That bastard...

As the camera shows Sally leaving, it cuts to a shot with all Mazaki members except Michelle.

Sally: Bad news guys, I just talked with Andrea and she said Michelle is already flipping.

James: That fast?

Sally" Yes, that fast. She said Michelle spilled all our dynamics to them.

Danielle can be seen shaking her head.

"ralane"

- Well, there is how the Mazaki ship sinks, with Michelle abandoning us right after merge, she must be wanting to take revenge and I talked to Thomas but he isn't flipping either! It seems like things are set in stone, unless...

Danielle: Zack, remember what we said to Thomas?

Zack: Of course bud, but he refuse to spill anythin about his tribe.

Danielle: He is on the outs right? What if we tell him that his tribe is gunning for him?

Sally: But will he believe it? I don't think this will work.

Danielle: What else can we do? Sit back and watch Michelle flip?

James: I am with her for this one, so let all of us do it.

"ralane"

- Well, Michelle abandoning us leaves me no choice, I have a solid three with them the moment the game begins, and they are the person that I want to be with in final 3, but we are crumbling apart, we lost our numbers, the last thing I want is to see them going home but (sighs) that is likely to come next.

Sally: I got a plan! Why don't we tell him that his tribe is gunning for him?

Danielle: Sally, that is a great idea! He will be flipping for sure!

The four runs over to Thomas, who is swimming at sea.

Sally: Thomas, we got some news that you might what to hear.

Thomas: What?

Danielle: Just now, Bosco came over here and told us to vote for you the next time we go to Tribal Council.

Thomas: (shocked) What?

James: It is true, he said that you are likely to go against them so he told us to vote for you to save ourselves.

"ralane"

- Me? Me? Me first them them? Are you kidding me? Like Bosco hated me at the start and he tried to vote me out at two separate occasions, but now, he is even trying to get me out at merge over someone from the other tribe? This is terrible! Why would he do that, what have I did to piss him off that hard? He is so doomed now.

Thomas: That prick...

Danielle: (smiling) So that is why we are talking to you right now so we will work with you to vote Bosco out.

Sally: (makes an eyesight to the others) So do you have anyone to go with?

Thomas: Well, I am with Jordan, so shall I talk to him?

Danielle: Sure, go and talk to him.

"ralane"

- Operation half-succeed, now we at least knows that he is with Jordan, so we are starting to reveal their tribe's secret and learn about them, it also saves us too if Jordan and Thomas will side with us, so he is our last hope.

Afterwards, the camera shows Thomas heading towards Jordan.

Thomas: Jordan, there is an interesting piece of information that you might want to know about. Just now, literally all of the other tribe came and told me that Bosco is gunning me and proposed that we will vote him out together.

Jordan: Really?

Thomas: (nods) Yes, but here is the thing. I don't know if they are bluffing or not. Like it is possible that they know that Michelle is flipping, so they are trying to get us to flip.

Jordan: (smiling) This is survivor, you never know if they are saying the truth or not, so I think we should just get back to our original topic, which is if we are flipping or not.

Thomas: I don't know, like Michelle seems to be loyal to those 3 more than we are, and we know we are on the bottom of all this, but who knows what will happen if we go on to Mazaki tribe? It might be worse than this.

Jordan: This is a game where you have to take risks, so now seriously, I think we should take a risk and go to them.

Thomas: How about this, we will agree to them above the plan, but we will just decide in last minute.

Jordan: (shrugs) If you want.

"ralane"

- Sometimes I think Thomas is too pussy, at first I thought he will be willing to flip since he knows he is at the bottom of this tribe and he knows that I have a closer relationship to the other tribe. But however, now when it is obviously the best time to go out and look for new possibilities, he is still hesitating and stay with the tiger and waiting to get eaten, I will need to look out for him.

Both Jordan and Thomas walks over to James and Zack who are hanging at the sea.

Jordan: Well, Thomas had told me about you guys wanting to work with us.

Zack: And ye up on it?

Jordan: We are on the plan.

James: Really?

Thomas: Yes, we are on the bottom anyway.

While they are talking, Bosco is passing by, and seeing them talking, he hides in a bush.

James: Welcome on board to the Mazaki ship.

Jordan: (smiling) Not like we have a choice.

Zack: (sticks hand out) Know what am I gonna do?

James, Jordan and Thomas also sticks their hands out.

Four of them: Go!

Bosco can be seen shaking his head at deep back.
