EPISODE EIGHT "THE MERGE"

The story in this episode is that Foa Foa is not giving up. Down four to eight they can still win this game.

The episode opens focusing on Jaison. He says that they are in a "horribly inferior position". He said that they have to get to the merge and then "divide and conquer". Russell says that they all have to get together with someone from the other tribe. Mick (now sitting up) says "We will take the whole thing down". Mick says that they should work on Laura. Russell tells us that in the other tribe there is segregation and there is unity on their tribe. Then once again he calls his teammates "dumbasses".

After the break we go to GLUE and see the tension between Laura and Shambo. They show us the segregation on GULE.

On to Foa Foa where we see them read the tree mail that hints at a possible merge.

We get a confessional from Jaison telling us that they are in a bad position but they are a tight unified group. Russell grabs his HII, tells us that they are a tight group, that you have to out wit you opponent and then off they go.

They meet at the beach and Mick opens the chest and reads the message inside.

Mick tells us how relieved he is that they have merged and that he knew that it was going to be a "hell of a good day".

Monica tells us how great the food was. "A fest fit for royalty."

As Dave toasts the new tribe the camera zooms in on…Mick.

Shambo tells us that she is on a sugar high.

Now back to the story…We see Jaison working John.

Then we see Natalie working Dave.

Now here we see the editors manipulating a clip to make it look like Mick was working Monica. But look where Monica and Mick are sitting.

They now show a close up of Monica saying "I'm not bad right, am not overbearing." … a close up of Mick smiling at her as if they are talking to one another. How would Mick know? He has never meet her before. Then they throw in an audio manipulation of her saying "I'm a good snuggler."

By the angle of Mick's body and head he was most likely talking to Laura. Laura is the person that he said that they have to work on in the opening scene. Yet they manipulate the scene so we think that he was having a conversation with Monica.

While all of this is going on Russell tells us that they are "steps ahead" of GLUE.

Then we see Jaison working Laura and Russell working Monica.

Who gets grapes feed to them…the KINGS DO!

Why the manipulation of Mick's edit??? Was he really working anyone?

Mick did not get much air time but his edit was a manipulated one. Was it a hidden UTR1 edit? It appears to be.

For that reason I 'm going to stick with Mick as my number one pick…but I reserve the right to switch to Jaison next week.

Visibility - 1

Eric - OTTN5 Bye

Visibility Weak 5 or Strong 4…he's gone who cares.

Kelly - UTR1 She got some visibility in the end but no confessional.

Visibility - 1

Laura - OTTN3 In her edit of her confrontation with Shambo she came out on the stinky side.

Visibility 1
