Keith's Survivor Borneo Episode Seven: Merged and Loving it
KeithNewbern
Previously on Survivor Borneo...
The 11 remaining castaways faced off against eachother in two challenges, Pagong came up on top in both, sending Tagi to their second straight tribal council. Once Tagi got back, Reyna's name was pushed hard by Kelsey, but when Marks underperformed at the challenge, Dustin elected to get the majority to cut Marks, seeing him as a stronger strategist and a weaker physical player, sending Marks home in an unceremonious 5-2 vote.
Both tribes arrive at the merge meeting grounds and elect a representative, for Pagong: Rachel was selected for keeping a cool head while on Tagi: Dustin was selected as the unofficial leader, angering Reyna.
Reyna: "I'm the leader, not this gullible fool!"
At the discussions, Rachel folds almost instantly to Dustin, letting him choose the camp, to which he obviously selected Tagi.
Once everyone got to camp, Pagong went to work trying to find a crack in their majority, pitching that they'll do anything to at least make it a tribal further.
Judy: "We're desperate, we need to pull together and find some sort of a crack to exploit in this majority or we're all getting picked off one by one."
When Judy takes charge of the majority, Gary rats her out and goes to Tagi, offering to flip so long as Judy is the first to go.
Gary: "Judy's a fool for betraying me, I'm siding with the other group."
Despite this, Dustin and Reyna both offer to the Pagongs that they would be willing to vote off Kelsey, given she doesn't win immunity.
Reyna: "Kelsey's untrustworthy, and we already have a 5-4 numbers advantage without her."
At the immunity challenge: Snake Island Relay, the top 3 are Kelsey, Gary and Connor. And on round 2... KELSEY WINS IMMUNITY
Kelsey: "I don't trust my tribe, I needed this win today."
Back at camp, shit hits the fan as people scramble to find a new target, with Dustin and Reyna voting for Rachel, seeing her as the leader due to their picks at the merge for who to elect while Connor, Judy and Rachel pull over Dave to their side.
Dave: "I was on the outs of that first tribe; I'm not sticking there unless there's a better offer."
The Pagongs think they have the numbers 5-3-2 since they flipped Dustin, but Gary was still on the fence.

Judy, the tribe has spoken.
Well it's clear to say there's a tribe divided here, and not just Tagi and Pagong, grab your torches, head back to camp.
On the next episode of Survivor Borneo: An underdog wins, which leads to the majority switching their plans again, but who will get the brunt of this plan changing? Find out next time on Survivor Borneo.
