I came back after being out of town for a weekend... here's another episode.
[Also during this time, I've changed the final placings slightly near the end.]
Current tribes:
Foa Foa - Mike, Russell S., Shambo, Russell H., Ashley, Kelly, Yasmin
Galu - Betsy, Erik, John, Mick, Liz, Jaison, Marisa, Monica
On Foa Foa, Ashley and Kelly feel alienated after the last Tribal Council, when Brett was voted off. Russell H. tries to calm their nerves, and tells them that they shouldn't panic; the vote was about Brett and not about them.
On Galu, alliances start going a little crazy after the switch. Mick, Erik, and Jaison feel outnumbered as ex-Foa Foa members. Monica starts trying to play all sides again, while Betsy and John form a Final 2 pact.
At the Reward Challenge, Galu wins. Betsy sends John to search for the Hidden Immunity Idol on Foa Foa.
While John is visiting Foa Foa, Russell H. makes a deal saying that they can still be allies after the merge. He suggests that John should try to unite himself, Betsy, Marisa, Liz, and Monica to vote off one of the ex-Foa Foa. Russell H. also tells him that if Galu wins immunity, then Ashley, the "weak link," will go next.
At the immunity challenge, Foa Foa wins, which means Galu will be sent to Tribal Council.
Former Foa Foa tribe member Erik now tries to scramble for control. He tries to ask Monica to vote with former Foa Foa and vote off Betsy... and he promises her Final 4 if she does so. He then tells Betsy that Monica is trying to get her voted off.
But when it comes down to it, nobody really believes him, and they decide that a former Foa Foa member must go. However, they are torn between Erik, who is a bigger strategic threat, and Jaison, who is complaining a lot, and is known to have a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol.
Tribal Council comes, and the votes are read:
1st vote - Monica
2nd vote - Monica
3rd vote - Monica
4th vote - Jaison
5th vote - Jaison
6th vote - Jaison
7th vote - Jaison
8th vote, and 6th person voted off of Survivor: Samoa...
