Night 21
Oahu returns from Tribal after voting out Violet. Andrew and Christine question Chris, Megan, and Laura what happened at Tribal. Megan explains that they threw a vote on Andrew just in case Violet's idol was real. Worried, Andrew thinks he is gonna be the next to go unless the tribes merge.

Day 22
The two tribes meet at Heroes Arena and are surprised to see Jeff Probst is not there. An urn is in the middle of the arena and Ray reads it out loud. The mail announces that the two tribes are merging and Ray pulls out eleven yellow buffs. They return to the Oahu camp where they see a picnic has been set up. When bringing up names, Geoff brings up the name Molokai and it sticks.

"molokai"

- In terms of singles, I think Andrew and Christine are dangerous. We lied to them and they might not trust us so it's best they go first.

Meanwhile, Geoff brings up the possibility of a couples alliance to Luke as there are more couples than singles. Luke agrees but thinks that it would be hard to be trusted. Geoff states he was aligned with Hannah before the swap and he might be able to get her on their side. When approached, Hannah states she is open for a couples alliance but lies to Geoff.

"molokai"

- I believe I have a good read on Hannah so I know she's telling the truth.

"molokai"

- If Geoff really believed me, he's a fool. I have no interest in working with him.

Later, Andrew tells Luke about what happened at the previous Tribal and how he doesn't trust Chris and Laura. Using this as leverage for a couples alliance, Luke tells Laura, Chris, Hannah, and Jamie. Laura states she had a feeling and agrees to vote out Andrew or Christine first. Luke states Andrew is the bigger threat and would be better to take out first. The other four agree and split up.

"molokai"

- I like Andrew but I need him out if I want to win.

Ray and Megan talk and are joined by Luke and Geoff. Ray states he wants to go to Exile as an idol may have been planted there and he wants it for their alliance. Luke also informs Ray and Megan of what he is doing, causing the two to laugh. Megan and Ray leave while Luke and Geoff confidently believe they have the majority.

"molokai"

- With Andrew and Christine slowly becoming the target, it gives me time to go to Exile and find any possible idol hidden there.

"molokai"

- Luke and I are running this game. I know you can't get cocky in this game, but I can't help it. Running the game is fun.
