Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 11/23/06

On Raro, some people aren't very happy with Jonathan's directions at camp. Later, the five Raro members and the four Aitu members merge into one tribe called Aitutonga.

The Aitu members feel vulnerable, so Yul creates a plan to get Jonathan to flip sides. Jonathan later becomes the swing vote at Tribal Council. He decides to betray the Raro tribe and join the Aitu alliance to vote out Nate.moreless

Loved it!

The brats got blindsided! Yeehaa! Nate was the dumbest of them all, but I would actually have liked Candice, Parvati or Adam gone first. They are all just slimy beings, like parasites. When Candice and Adam kissed I just felt sick to my stomach...it was like seeing vultures feeding off each other.

Go Yul/Ozzy-team! Just pick them off one by one. And please do it with no mercy. These brats would walk over corpses without a blink...just take them out please.moreless

Survivor at its best thanks to mastermind stratigist YULL!

10

By MetalCup, Dec 01, 2006

I watched the early seasons of survivor, maybe 4 full seasons and then an episode here and there.. then I just lost interest. Recently, with season 13, I start watching again from the start. I am glad I did if not just to see this episode. Wow! What a fantastic episode with so much going on. A complete turn over. This is in my opinion the best episode of survivor I\'ve watched so far. Great players and great planning with YULL at the helm. The thing about YULL stratgy is that he is doing it without losing his intergrity. He might be the most honest player to ever play the game not to mention one of the smartest (If not the smartest).moreless

Aito and Raro finally merge

9.0

By mykeathome, Nov 29, 2006

As it goes, the game is going exactly how I wanted it too, now Aito outnumber Raro thanks to the fact that Jonathan switched teams and Nate was sent home.

Personally I didn't like Nate, he is very arrogant and should have predicted that it doesn't always go according to plan. Which also makes Raro very stupid, they had a plan to vote out Yul and not thinking whether or not he had the idol, even which Jonathan brought it up.

I was really glad that Jonathan changed sides, as I can't stand Raro, they are so stupid. Especially Candice, how stupid can you be swapping sides and back stabbing your own team when you had a good alliance? she deserves to go. If the game continues this way and all Aito is in the finals, I would be very happy. Yul, Becky, Ozzy and Sundra all deserves to win.moreless

Twisting people\'s minds

9.4

By TheBean, Nov 28, 2006

Yeah. What an episode. Jonathan really just dug himself a hole. But why didn't he simply sway the vote (as he did) and then vote with the tribe he was on... then he would have been golden, and not looked at as a snake. Now he's toast. No one will trust him and unless he wins immunity he's a goner. How weird that the race card didn't even come into play this time around. Good p.r. stunt I guess. But kinda uneventful. Not that I'd want a whole race riot going on... but if they want to, here's a twist, why not put Michael Richards on teh isalnd to do some stand-up.... tee hee.

nice to be back...

basically the two tribes finally merge and this is where the game starts to get VERY interesting. yul having the idol basically rewrote the game plans. nate gets voted out in a surprise move for raro and ozzy easily wins immunity(hanging on a pole)moreless

this is one of the most interesting episodes to date, surpassing the mutiny and double elimination i thought were great.

now let me say this right off the bat, i am rooting for aitu and Ozzy and i always have been. however, my prejudice against raro does not make their stupidity and overconfidence any less meaningful. since the mutiny aitu played it smart, knowing they were at a disadvantage and never being too cocky, even after winning repeatedly. raro on the other hand kept hoping to bounce back from their losses, without really doing anything. when it came time to merge they cast off any possibility of aitu having the idol and focused on their numbers and as we saw the most interesting part of this episode, i believe, is the situation johnathan is in. the moment he stepped off that mat and joined raro, his fate was sealed. i am not going to lie, i was glad johnathan was off of aitu, but he really dug himself into a hole i think he will never come out of. when he joined raro not only did he lose the very little trust aitu had in him, but came off as a mutineer that was not wanted in raro's eyes. sure he played it smart when he got to raro providing plenty of fish and helping his tribe without his real personality coming through, but it would take a lot more than that to gain their trust.

i also see yul as a major player in this game now. before i didnt think he stood out so much, even with all his planning, but with this risky proposition to johnathan he really gained my respect. while some may argue yul was incredibly stupid to show it to johnathan, it was a risky and intelligent move other people might have overlooked. its true that he had no choice, but it was the best thing to do. the truth is the hidden immunity idol is much more useful knowing who has it than actually using it. see if yule had not gotten johnathans vote and went to tribal council, he would have had used the idol to save his skin and gotten nate out either way. the problem is that yul and the aitus would have no back up plan other than to win all the challenges. but by showing the idol to johnathan, aitu now has the extra vote, which is key to them AND raro STILL doesnt know who has the idol if any (and its likely they wont find out with their brain power). aitu is now set to win.

now i want to go back to johnathans situation. right now hes in deep s***. not only has he lost the trust from EVERYONE by backstabing TWICE, but right now he is a captive vote, a vote that HAS to go with aitu or risk getting a vote from everyone on the island. i believe there is no way he'll make it into the final four. suppose that aitu successfully eliminates all of the raro. whos left, do they vote out one of there own, the four who have stuck together through everything they had to go through and still come out winning, or johnathan, the person that has already betrayed them once and joined their side the second time because he had no choice, and not because of trust. if aitu plays it smart, as soon as they have a majority over raro theyll get rid of johnathan before he starts sucking up to someone and convince them to give up their vote.

my prediction?

aitu will wither down this dull raro tribe until the final four

if ozzy wins the immunities (very likely) he'll go up against yul in the final and maybe have a 50-50 chance of winningmoreless

- Adam: Bananas. Makes you think all the time. Bananas.
  EDIT SHARE
- (During immunity challenge where they must hang onto a wooden pole)
  Jeff Probst: Where are you feeling it Jonathan?
  Jonathan: My feet a little bit. My feet are a lot bigger so, the little bit of rope is. . . just hard I guess, I don't know.
  Yul: I think Jonathan has a point though.
  Jeff Probst: What's that?
  Yul: Well basically the surface area supporting all of us is about the same, even if your feet are a little bit bigger or not. But you know your mass goes up at a faster rate then surface area. It's kind of like why elephants can't run up trees.
  (Contestants and Jeff Probst laugh)
  Jeff Probst: Just what I was thinking!
  Yul: Ughh, I'm never gonna get a date again.
  EDIT SHARE
- Jonathan: Either I would betray the Raro people and I'm a complete bastard, or I didn't jump over to the Aitu people and I'm a complete bastard!
