Night 21
Cielo returns from Tribal and everyone is surprised Michael is gone. Wendy explains what had happened and that Michael left on the revote. Joseph takes Trevor to the side and begins to talk strategy. Joseph predicts a merge is next and they need to stick together so they can get to the end together.

"cielo"

- I've been kind of quiet for the past twenty-one days. I think it's time for me to step out of the shadows and really try and take over.

Meanwhile, Stephanie and Violet worry about Wendy still being in the game as she will become the first target at the merge, which could screw over their plan to oust Trevor.

Day 22
In the morning, Stephanie and Violet go to treemail together and find a large chest and key. They bring it back to camp and open it. Inside the chest are a red flag, ten red buffs, and a bunch of food. Liam reads the letter inside the chest, which announces the merge. They all set up a picnic and discuss a tribe name. Sky suggests 'Uno Mundo', which is Spanish for One World. Everyone likes it and agree on the name.

Wendy takes a look around and notices Liam, Joseph, and Trevor are the only three men left while there are seven women left. She pulls Riley to the side and says they can try and put together a women's alliance. Riley agrees and they decide to push for it when everything is settled.

However, unlike Wendy, Liam decides to try and get people to flip to his alliance. He goes to Stephanie, Joanna, and Violet (who are making the tribe flag), and begs them to join his alliance. He tells them he will be open to voting whoever they want to vote to show trust. He then leaves the girls to allow them to talk it out. Stephanie and Violet seem open to the idea as it would give them majority but Joanna is apprehensive, as Wendy voted her at the previous tribal. Joanna tells Steph and Violet about it, but they tell her that they can keep Wendy calm.

Like Wendy, Joseph also notices the lopsided male to female ratio in the tribe. He talks to Trevor and says they need to stay in Kelly, Sky, and Joanna's good graces as they're the ones who will most likely stay loyal. Trevor brings up trying to get Liam to join them, to which Joseph says he won't since he's blinded by hate.

Joseph approaches Sky and Kelly and tells them that he wants to continue working with them throughout the merge as he trusts them more than he does the people on his own tribe. The girls agree but ask who would join them, with Joseph saying he can get Joanna as Wendy tried to blindside her the night before. Kelly suggests she try and talk to Joanna as she was the one to save her and Joseph agrees.

Kelly approaches Joanna and tells her that she, Joseph, Trevor, and Sky want to work with her going forward. When Joanna asks who they would want out first, Kelly replies with Wendy. Joanna agrees and the two shake hands. Meanwhile, Wendy and Liam go on about how they have control of the game.
