Foa Foa - Mike, Russell S., Shambo, Russell H., Ashley, Kelly, Yasmin
Galu - Betsy, Erik, John, Mick, Liz, Marisa, Monica
***
After losing their ally Jaison at the last Tribal Council, Erik and Mick feel that the situation is hopeless. Since none of their scheming last night helped them, they decide that they will just try to work hard at camp and in the challenges in hopes that they can convince the tribe to vote off one of the weaker members.
On Galu, Russell H. gathers his allies together - Russell S., Mike, Shambo, and Yasmin, to discuss their plans. Russell H. wants to change the vote from Ashley to Kelly, since Kelly is a bigger strategic threat (she found the hidden immunity idol and gave it to Brett), but Russell S. says that Ashley is the weakest link and should go.
When the players arrive for the reward challenge, Jeff asks a startling question. "Would anybody like to switch tribes?" He gives everyone 15 seconds... no talking. If anybody wants to switch tribes, they can step off their mat and join the other tribe.
Erik knows he wants to rejoin Ashley (and hopefully, Kelly, due to the cross-tribal alliance she made with him earlier), so he steps off his mat. He signals to Mick to follow him. Mick does.
Erik and Mick are given their new yellow Foa Foa buffs. Foa Foa now has 9 members, while Galu has just 5.
The new Foa Foa tribe wins the Reward Challenge, with the help from Erik and Mick. Tribe leader Mike decides to send Russell H. over to Galu.
On Foa Foa, Mick and Erik quickly join with Kelly and Erik's girlfriend, Ashley. They all agree on an alliance, but they need one more person. Erik rules out Shambo, due to their conflict on the original Foa Foa.
Russell H. reads his clue and begins to search for the Hidden Immunity Idol. He is stunned when he finds it stashed in a tree! But he notices John standing nearby, and then sees him dash off. Russell H. fears that John noticed that he found the idol.
On Galu, everybody is stunned that now they have lost their next two easy vote-offs. Their first instinct is to off Monica, due to her not being part of the alliance on the original Galu. But Russell H. is there to add his own input. He tells Marisa, Liz, and Betsy that John is untrustworthy, and he should go next. Russell H. knows that John is both a strategic threat and now the strongest member of Galu. Also, he believes that John saw him find his Hidden Immunity Idol.
At the immunity challenge, Foa Foa wins again, which sends Galu back to Tribal Council.
Betsy becomes skeptical about Russell's plan to vote off John. She states to Marisa and Liz that she doesn't fully trust Russell, and she thinks he is a snake. Liz reasons that it will be tough for Galu to get a majority after the merge without a tie to the other tribe. Betsy; however, is stubborn and wants to vote off the weakest member, Monica. She tells Marisa and Liz that she will vote against Monica tonight, and that's that.
Tribal Council comes, and Jeff reads the votes...
First vote - Monica
Second vote - John
Third vote - Monica

Fourth vote - John
Final vote, and 7th person voted off of Survivor: Samoa...

How will the mutiny change the game? Will Galu be able to survive with only 4 players? What will Russell H. do with his newly found Hidden Immunity Idol?
