Day 19
Shuar arrives back at camp after tribal council. Marilyn knows she is the next to go.

Marilyn: Well, I don't blame any of you for doing what was done last night.

Alvin: Yea, she just needed to be out.

Marilyn goes into the shelter, the guys have a chat outside.

Ramesh: So if we lose again it is definately Marilyn, correct?

Douglas: Yes, of course.

Over at Kichwa, the team is excited that they won and are ready to conquer another challenge.

Jonathan: You know, now that we have been on this winning streak, I don't feel as angry with you guys.

Olivia: I'm glad.

"kichwa"

- Jonathan is still next on the list, he will go off if we lose. It's pretty clear.

Carlos: Are you guys ready? We need to win today, we will then have twice as many tribe members as them.

Dipali: That would be amazing.

Charlie: Yea, we need the numbers

"kichwa"

- I'm excited to see my team on top right now, we started out slow but now Kichwa has gotten it together.

In the middle of the day, Kichwa checks their tree mail and finds a note from Jeff.

Dipali: What does it say?

Carlos: "Today is an important day, this cannot be more true. A very special day, when we make one tribe out of two"

James: Merge!

Carlos: "Pack your belongings, walk down the gravel. Over to the Shuar camp, that is where you must travel."

Later in the day, Shuar sees seven figures walking towards camp, they immediately know it is the Kichwa tribe.

Calvin: Guys! It's a merge!

The Shuar and Kichwa members get to know each other.

Ramesh: So what do we do about a tribe name?

Douglas: Maybe we can just combine the two names, Kichuar?

Marilyn: I think Shuwa sounds better.

Douglas: Alright, I guess we are now Shuwa!

Day 20
The new Shuwa tribe arrives at their first reward challenge as a merged tribe.

Jeff: Welcome Shuwa tribe, I have your buffs here. Your tribe color is green. Today you are playing for reward.

Challenge: The castaways would be divided into two teams of six. Two members at a time from each team would race across a field to retrieve a large puzzle board. Once the pair returns, another pair would retrieve another board. Six boards would need to be retrieved. Once retrieved, the boards would have to be arranged in a line so that the large holes were aligned like a grille to reveal seven vowels. The revealed vowels and seven consonants given to the team would need to be arranged to solve a four word phrase. The first team to solve the phrase would win. Jeff: With that, Alvin, Charlie, Douglas, Jonathan, Olivia, and Ramesh you have won the reward! You will all go to a small Ecuadorian village, where you will enjoy some local delicacies.

The winning group is taken to the nearby town of Cuenca where they enjoy Sancocho, Locro, and Plantain Soup.The group gets to know each other better.

Douglas: So how were things over at that Kichwa tribe?

Jonathan: I hated it.

Charlie: It wasn't that bad.

Jonathan: You weren't everyone's target Charlie, of course it wasn't bad for you.

Olivia: So what was the Shuar tribe like, Douglas?

Douglas: It was nice, fairly unified.

At Shuwa camp, the losing team sets up their camp and get to know each other better. Calvin pulls James, Shawn, and Carlos aside to chat.

Calvin: So I was thinking that all of the guys could stick together and take out the girls first. How does that sounds?

James: I like it.

Calvin: So I want all of the guys to know this, can you guys tell your Kichwa team?

James: I can do it.

Carlos runs back to Dipali and Olivia, without the guys seeing.

Carlos: I have to talk to you guys.

Olivia: Sure, what's up?

Carlos: The guys are planning to take you out, I think Calvin wants the Shuar team to dominate the Kichwa.

Day 21
The Shuwa tribe arrives at thier first individual immunity challenge. They are greeted by Jeff.

Jeff: Welcome guys, to your first individual immunity challenge. Today the winner of this challenge will be safe at tribal council and be safe, guaranteed.

Challenge: Each person had to gather firewood, light a torch from the water, and put it in the firewood. The first to have their fire burn through the rope wins immunity. Jeff: Alvin wins immunity!

The Shuwa tribe returns to camp after the challenge. Everyone is nervous for the vote, Carlos gets Olivia, Marilyn, Dipali, Jonathan, and Shawn together.

Carlos: Look guys, we can control this team right now. The guys want to take out the girls and then probably the rest of Kichwa.

Marilyn: So we can shake things up right here.

Jonathan: So you want us to vote for Calvin?

Carlos: Yea, Alvin and him are a dangerous duo.

Olivia: Who do you think they are targeting?

Shawn: My guess is either you or Dipali only because you are from Kichwa.

Carlos: Exactly, they want Shuar in the majority.

Calvin, Alvin, Charlie, Douglas, James, and Ramesh gather by the pond to talk.

Alvin: Do you think telling Carlos the plan was a good idea? I know he told the girls.

James: Right now they are probably trying to convince Jonathan and Shawn to vote his way.

Douglas: So we are all good with the plan here?

Ramesh: Yes.

Douglas approaches Shawn and Jonathan.

Douglas: What the hell do you think you are doing?

Shawn: What do you mean?

Douglas: Conversing with the enemy, are they trying to fill your head with their propoganda? You aren't listening to them are you?

Shawn: No, no of course not. Don't be silly.

Douglas: Ok good, you know the plan. Don't mess it up.

Tribal Council
Shuwa arrives at their first tribal council. They are greeted by Jeff.

Jeff: This is our final twelve competitors. After tonight this twelve will be eleven. Let's get started. Alvin, that immunity necklace, how does it feel right now?

Alvin: Like a million buck Jeff. I'm sure everyone is nervous right now, I'm just sitting here perfectly safe. Sorry guys.

Jeff: Nice, alright. Marilyn, you seem really nervous about this vote. Is there a reason why?

Marilyn: Well, I came in the merge on the minority tribe, and on that minority tribe I was the one on the outs. So I think I'm as far on the bottom as possible. And it just sucks being here.

Jeff: She said something that we can't ignore. Calvin, your tribe came into the merge with five while Kichwa had seven. Is there any chance that all of the Kichwa tribe will just decide to take out the Shuar team.

Calvin: Well there is always the chance, but I don't think that is the case. I think half of us forgot who exactly was on each team over these past few days, It's a new tribe it's a new game.

Jeff: Alright, Dipali. There are three women and nine men. How does that feel?

Dipali: Everyone keeps bringing this up, yes there are more men. And it is very possible that the guys will take out all of the women, I can see it happening.

Jeff: Alright, one final question for Charlie. Do you know what you are doing tonight?

Charlie: Oh yes, I know exactly who has my vote, Jeff.

Jeff: Ok, now let's get to the vote.
