Night 21 and at Kota tribe, randy feels bad about Dan being voted off. They were buddies. But, Randy is ready for Operation Clean Sweep. Marcus wants Susie to sign on to the grand strategy of, following the expected merge, vote off all current Fang members first. Publicly, she agrees, but privately, she has reservations. At Fang Tribe, Matty wants to know about why Ace was booted? Sugar says she trust's Ken more, now, than she did Ace. Matty and Crystal then trade barbs. He hopes for a merge so he can get out of this loser tribe! Crystal and Ken plot to outwit Kota post-merge.
Day 22 at Kota. Corrine and Doc talk about booting Susie. Neither trust her. Tree mail instructs both tribes to bring only their personal belongings to a beach-side feast. Everyone assumes it's The Merge! They find a huge spread of food and drinks, and a mysterious box. On it a note says that once the box is opened, the feast is over.
So everyone chows down first. There is wine and beer, fruit, bread and a lot of fun protein, including meatloaf! Ken and Charlie notice another note under a large plate. The note gives a clue to another immunity idol hidden on the beach. Before everyone sprints to search for it, Randy and Marcus convince all to agree to dispose of the idol into the sea. Randy finds it in about seven seconds. He plops it on the table and tempts anyone to take it. None do. The idol is chucked into the ocean.
The box is finally opened. There are two notes and a bag. The 1st note in- structs each player to blindly take a numbered stone from within the bag. After each has done so, the 2nd note explains that all odd numbered players are the new Kota tribe, and even numbered new Fang. Oh geez! Another twist! The new Kota Tribe is Dr. Marcus, Bob, Susie, Crystal and Ken. The new Fang Tribe is Randy, Charlie, Corrine, Sugar and Matty.
Kota returns to camp and Marcus quickly learns that one of his best friends is Crystal's cousin! Small world, huh? They chat in private and talk strategy. They promise each other not to write the other's name down at Tribal Council. Crystal even promises that she won't write down Bob's or Ken's either, but she promised Ace she wouldn't boot him, too.
At the new Fang Tribe, Charlie and Corrine discuss booting Matty or Sugar first. Matty talks with Sugar about how Ken duped her into voting off Ace. She now feels very bad about doing so. They make a pact to use her idol to stay alive in The Game.
Day 23 at Kota Tribe finds Susie and Crystal out gathering fire wood. Susie then chats with Doc about her situation. She wants a guarantee to being part of the Final Three. He appears to agree to her terms.
Day 24 and tree-mail is checked by Matty and Sugar. Meanwhile, Randy tells Charlie and Corrine he's good with booting Matty out since Sugar probably has an immunity idol. It's time for the Immunity Challenge. Each player will stand on a custom perch. They will hold a pole up against a board with each hand. Last player standing wins immunity for their tribe. Crystal lasts about 3 seconds and Sugar goes out right after. Susie then loses it. Randy and Corrine fail simultaneously. Then Ken is out. Marcus then loses his concen- tration and is out, followed by Charlie. It's between Matty and Bob. Bob looks weak but then Matty goofs off taunting Bob and his poles begin to slip away. Matty recovers and Bob finally succumbs to the pressure. Fang wins!!!
Kota slumps back to camp. Marcus talks with Corrine about booting Ken. Doc tells her that she will replace Susie on the Kota Six. Marcus then talks with Susie. She will only agree to booting Ken if he promises to take her to the Final Three. Crystal tells Ken he's on the chopping block. They need to turn Susie. So Crystal tries to sway her towards booting Marcus instead.
At Tribal Council, Crystal says that Kota Tribe is like corporate espionage. Bob and Marcus talk about keeping the tribe strong. Ken calls Marcus out for being a manipulative liar. He tries to stir the pot. It's time to vote. We see Marcus and Bob vote for Ken, and Ken and Crystal vote to boot Marcus. It all rests on Susie. Jeff tallies the votes. It's 3-2 versus Dr. Marcus! Ken and Crystal grin and smirk while Susie feels shame.
SPOILERS: Fang Tribe still has issues. Randy and Matty trade barbs. Ken feels like the new King of Kota!
