The Standings before Episode 4 Tribes merge into two: "new" Raro and "new" Aitu. Raro wins immunity Candice on Exile Island Cecilia voted out 5-3 ADAM: (Tribal Immunity) Raro Tribe Well, Adam is now only one of four big strong guys on his new tribe. Not to mention, he was picked next to last when they were selecting new members… only one pick before Cao Boi for goodness sake. And as a final kick in the teeth, he lost his snuggle bunny Candice to the other tribe as well. Poor Adam. I’m not sure everyone else thinks he’s as awesome as he is convinced he is. He’d better get a handle on the whiney attitude he displayed last week if he wants to stick around for a while. His tribe doesn’t have to depend on him for strength anymore, and no one is going to have patience for a big ox like him throwing hissy fits. Play nice and help out, Adam. Otherwise, you’re going to have to sell a hell of a lot of copiers to see a million dollars in your lifetime. BECKY: (Voted for Cecilia) Aitu Tribe Well, Becky lost no time scrambling around to get what she saw were the strong members of her new tribe aligned around her as soon as they merged. The bad thing is, she didn’t count on losing one of her allies to Exile Island, and then getting targeted by the rest of the tribe because she didn’t bother to get to know anyone else. You squeaked by this time, but you’d better start looking valuable to your entire team and not just your allies if you don’t want to be considered for elimination next time around. BRAD: (Tribal Immunity) Raro Tribe Brad had his greatest wish granted, and is no longer trapped on an island with Cao Boi. And not only that, he’s now on an island with a handful of good-looking men that have no interest in wearing their shirts. Add a beach chair and a tropical drink with an umbrella in it… and he’s in heaven! Is there a romance brewing between him and J.P.? That rumor sure is swirling about. Lets stay tuned and see what kind of interaction there is between these two. CANDICE: (Exile Island) Aitu Tribe Candice was stunned into silence when her new tribe members filled her in on Billy’s declaration of love at tribal council. There’s just no way to prepare yourself for such odd news, and she can only be grateful that Billy got enough votes to send him home. Otherwise, they could very well be sharing a beach. And just as she was recovering from that shockeroo, she got sent to Exile Island, the land of the no-longer-there immunity idol. Luckily, the members of her new alliance fought against the odds and were able to stay intact while she was away. Now she’s in a pretty good place, as long as that alliance stays true. CAO BOI: (Voted for Cecila) Aitu Tribe Oh Cao Boi, you just don’t understand that the target on your back is growing every week, do you? I’m not sure he’s playing the same game that everyone else is. I’m not even sure he’s aware he’s still playing a game. Whatever. In his world, he is wise and funny and everybody is hanging on his every word. I’m sure the outcome of this crazy reality-TV social experiment isn’t high on his list of spiritual priorities. Luckily, he won’t take it too hard then when his tribe votes him the heck off soon. CRISTINA: (Tibal Immunity) Raro Tribe Cristina, still the defender of truth, justice, and the American way-off-base. She defended Billy to the end, but now needs to set her sights on what’s going on in her new tribe. She’s got J.P. with her from their old tribe, be he seems to be aligning with the men. She better find some strong allies in her new environment soon, or she may be hung out to dry the first time her team has to get rid of someone at Tribal Council. JENNY: (Tribal Immunity) Raro Tribe Jenny is most likely also thrilled to be away from the yammering of Cao Boi. It’s hard to tell if she and Brad will still look out for each other, or if their new tribe will split down gender lines. She and Cristina should look out for each other… because they each need someone in their corner. JESSICA: (Voted for Cecila) Aitu Tribe I admire Flicka’s willingness to tell it how it feels, but she’s going to wind up with no one watching her back if she keeps telling folks she on their side, and then changing her mind. Jonathan isn’t going to trust her anymore, and Ozzy is obviously mad about how the vote went. Flicka’s flame is going to burn out soon if she doesn’t pick a side and show some fierce loyalty towards it. JONATHAN: (Voted for Cecilia) Aitu Tribe Jonathan was truly stunned when he discovered that Flicka’s support wasn’t a sure thing. But he pulled off a stellar performance when he realized he absolutely had to change her mind. Unfortunately, no one from his original tribe seems to trust him very much. And after slowing down in the immunity challenge, he’s going to be seen as a weak link. He’s gong to have to stay strategically ahead of everyone in order to stay out of danger. JP: (Tribal Immunity) Raro Tribe J.P. is on a strong team, and there are enough other potential targets on his tribe that he should be safe for a while. As long as he doesn’t do something outrageous to draw the wrath of his fellow castaways, I think he’ll be off the radar of most everyone… except for maybe Brad. NATHAN: (Tribal Immunity) Raro Tribe Nate is right there with J.P… strong and pretty easy going, he’s in a good spot on his tribe as long as he keeps contributing and doesn’t do something to draw fire. I’m sure he’s happy to have some other men-folk to hang out with, after being left alone with only women after Sekou’s departure. He should be able to ride out a couple more weeks without problem if he helps out the tribe and avoids any silly conflicts. OZZY: (Voted for Becky) Aitu Tribe Ozzy is clearly mad that Cao Boi and Flicka changed their votes, and now he feels on the outside of what he thought previously was a pretty locked group of allies. Ozzy doesn’t take things lying down either, so I imagine he’s going to flare up back at camp over things not going according to plan. Ozzy puts a target right on him when he does that though, so he’d better be careful. Lucky for him, he’s got Cao Boi nearby to draw most of the fire from his tribe. PARVATI: (Tribal Immunity) Raro Tribe Parvati’s flirt strategy is fine and all, but when 50% of the men on your tribe are batting for the other team, that only gets you so far. Plus, the other girls on the tribe will have no tolerance for the flirt approach if it gets too outrageous. She better stick to the traditional approaches, contribute a lot and work your butt off! She’s too flighty to be considered a serious threat at this point, but she’s going to eventually need to bring more than charm to stick around. REBECCA: (Tribal Immunity) Raro Tribe Rebecca and Stephannie may not have been that tight in their original tribe, but I bet now that they’ve been thrown together in this new situation, their bond will strengthen. The girls have the numbers on the guys in the new tribe, and Rebecca has always been a good contributor to the tribe… so I think she’s in a strong position to stick around for a while. STEPHANNIE: (Tribal Immunity) Raro Tribe Stephannie has the natural ally in Rebecca, but of the two she is probably the weaker competitor. She’s in a good spot initially with Rebecca’s support and the girl majority in the tribe… but she’d better bring it a little harder in the competitions if she’s going to have anyone fighting for her to stay in the near future. SUNDRA: (Voted for Becky) Aitu Tribe Sundra has to be feeling vulnerable after the last minute change in the votes at Tribal Council. With Cecilia now gone, Sundra and Ozzy are out on a limb, and Sundra doesn’t have as most to offer the tribe as Ozzy. All she can hope is that Cao Boi’s outrageous behavior becomes too much for her tribe, and he becomes their target while she stays safe. She’s going to have to scramble for some additional allies though if she hopes to stay in the game much futher. YUL: (Voted for Cecilia) Aitu Tribe Has Immunity Idol Yul made a brave call by letting Becky know that he found the idol, and then almost had to use it to save her just a day later. Luckily, he was able to convince Cao Boi to change his vote, which says something positive about Yul’s negotiation skills. Yul has a knack for talking to people in such a personal and respectful way, that they really listen to what he has to say. Everyone has got to see what a strong player he is, and that is his greatest downfall. He can easily walk away with the prize, but everyone knows it… so sooner or later there will be a huge target on his back.
