Night 21 at Malakal Beach, and the conversation centers on Ami being booted
for her maneuvering.   Ozzy says that he would never had voted for her had
she remained loyal to the Favorites.  No one could trust her any longer.  Erik
is surprised he survived Tribal Council.  He now hopes for The Merge.  At
Camp Airai, Jason tells Eliza that he has the Hidden Immunity Idol (HII).  He
wants Eliza to ally herself with him and help him recruit Ami.  They're in for
a surprise!  More than one, in fact!!!  LOL!!!

Day 22 and tree mail arrives telling the tribes to pack their belongings.  It's
time to merge!  Erik pledges his undying loyalty and affection (and probably
his first born male child), to Ozzy.  At Airai, Parvati is heavily recruited by
Alexis and Natalie.  Both tribes arrive at a pleasant cove and find a feast
awaiting them.  Eliza is shocked to see that Ami was booted off.  There are
instructions, confirming The Merge, and requiring the group to choose which
island they prefer living on.  All agree that Malakal Beach is the better spot.
Erik comes up with the new tribe's name, Dabu.  He fibs about it's meaning,
but nobody challenges him.  As the new tribe socializes, it seems that Alexis
may be socializing too much with Ozzy.  He recruits her into an alliance,
which makes Amanda very, VERY jealous.

Day 23 and Dabu Tribe arrives at Malakal Beach.  Jason tries to buddy-up
with Ozzy, asking The Oz to teach him how to spearfish.  Ozzy thinks that
Jason has the fake HII he carved out of a stick.  Jason is worried that some
one may find his HII in his rucksack, so he stashes it in the jungle for safe
keeping.  Eliza chats up Parvati about Ami and pledges her loyalty to the
old Favorites Alliance.  But Parvati plays coy with Eliza and promises her
nothing.  Parvati and Amanda discuss booting Eliza right away.  But Amanda
is unhappy that Parvati is in an alliance with Natalie and her rival for Ozzy's
attention, Alexis.  The wheels are turning!

Day 24 and tree mail arrives announcing the first Individual Immunity Chal-
lenge.  Jason feels like an outsider in the new Dabu Tribe.  He tells Eliza
that if he wins individual immunity, he'll give her his HII to keep her safe.
Eliza is so excited! 

Dabu Tribe meets Jeff and he shows them this season's Individual Immunity
Necklace.  He then explains that today's challenge is all about staying calm.
All are to wade off shore and stand under a grated metal roof.  As the tide
rolls in, they must stay under the roof as the water rises.  Last person under
wins immunity.

They begin with about ten inches of clearance, just about enough for their
heads to be exposed.  Thirty-five minutes pass and there is now only five
inches of clearance!  This ain't gonna take very long!  Amanda bails out 1st.
Ten minutes later, there is only TWO inches of clearance left.  Parvati bows
out, followed by Alexis.  Cirie then gives up.  At the Fifty Minute mark,
Natalie surrenders.  Then Eliza gives up, followed by Erik.  There is now
no clearance at all.  James, Jason and Ozzy each use a different method
to keep breathing.  At the one hour mark, they start to struggle.  James gives
up first.  Ozzy tries to reset himself a couple of times, but finally, he is forced
out by the tide.  JASON WINS!!!

Back at Dabu Beach, Jason is very happy he beat Ozzy.  Jason now feels he
is dominating The Game.  LOL!  Right!  Him and his big alliance with Eliza!
Parvati and others start chatting about booting Eliza off first.  Eliza knows
she's in trouble and scampers off to meet Jason.  He promises to protect her
and they plot to blindside Ozzy.  Meanwhile, Amanda talks with Cirie about
going after Alexis first.  But Cirie seems to think that Amanda is motivated
by jealousy, not strategy.  Jason fetches his HII and tells Eliza it's in his
rucksack.  She fishes it out and unwraps the cloth.  Eliza is unconvinced
to it's authenticity.  She tells Jason, "It's just a *bleepin'* stick!!!"  But he
still thinks it's the genuine article.

At Tribal Council, Alexis begins by observing that The Merge shows the
three basic skills a player needs:  social skills, plus physical and mental
strength.  Cirie says that Alexis has all three and is there fore a triple-threat.
Alexis answers that several people have all three!  She adds that Eliza,
however, "played" a poor social game.  Eliza is upset with Alexis speaking of
her in the past-tense.  LOL!  Both Ozzy and James chime in about how it's
usually a good idea to keep someone around who isn't well liked.  Parvati
then calls Eliza out for being very manipulative.  Eliza argues that they
should boot off the better players first.  It's time to vote. 

When all the ballots are cast, Jeff retrieves them.  He then asks if anyone
wants to play the Hidden Immunity Idol?  Eliza stands up and approaches
him.  Ozzy starts to snicker and giggle.  Eliza hands Jeff her HII, and Jeff
explains the rules again about it's use.  Jeff then announces that the idol
Eliza handed him is NOT authentic!  Ozzy busts out laughing!  Eliza accuses
Ozzy of having the real one and planting the fake.  Ozzy admits to the devilish
deed.  The votes are counted.  Eliza and Jason voted to boot Ozzy.  The rest
send Eliza down the Walk of Shame.  Too Funny!

SPOILERS:  The Reward Challenge allows the winning team to take an excit-
ing trip.  Ozzy is now a target since everyone now knows he has the HII.
