Alicia and Colton taunt Christina, after she was blindsided at the "hilarious" tribal council. Colton calls her the "cockroach" and really rubs it in her face that she's going home next. On Salani, Kat has a dream that she was in a mall and Alicia killed her. Haha, wow. The gang get ready for a challenge that involves "something they played as a kid", according to tree mail. When the tribes arrive at the challenge, Sabrina sees Monica gone and figures the guys are booting the girls. Not entirely true, I'd say Alicia has defected at this point.
The challenge is to bounce a ball on a net and take out drums. I don't remember playing this as a kid. It takes ages for the players to get the hang of it, but it is Kim who scores first. Tarzan equals it and then Leif gives Manono the lead. Troyzan has figured out you have to throw it hard. Christina gets yelled at by Colton (again?) because she's not running back fast enough. Give her a break, maybe she just wants her boobs to bounce in slow motion. Meanwhile, Alicia seems to be getting a lot of shit from Probst for failing it pretty hard. In the end, Troyzan wins the challenge for Salani. That means an ice cream reward!

After watching Colton tell Christina to jump in a fire, Jonas says how he doesn't like Colton's attitude. During an opportune time and with nothing to lose, Christina tells Leif and Jonas about Alicia's connections on the other side. Alicia comes up behind her and yells at her. Man, this episode sure is getting repetitive. The sad thing is Christina is telling the truth but has no way to prove it.
Colton has a really bad headache. Surprisingly Christina is the one to comfort him, showing everyone she is a good person. Tarzan diagnoses it as appendicitis. That seems a little...extreme. But Colton's condition gets worse as Christina finds him lying on the floor. Jeff Probst and Dr Ramona have to be called in. Ramona diagnoses it as appendicitis. Wow, I guess Tarzan was right.

So Colton ends up having to be removed from the game and the rest of camp gather round to say goodbye. I wanted Colton out of the game as much as anyone, but this was a pretty unsatisfying end to his storyline. It almost validates his gameplay now. Jonas is crying at seeing Colton go, because he knew how big a fan he was. Colton decides to keep the idol and take it out of the game, which pisses off Alicia who saw it as "another selfish move".

The mood in camp has changed. Alica's stock has fallen and Christina has gained another reprieve. Tarzan still has it out for "Katrina", telling her to her face she wouldn't be his friend, but him and Alicia are the only ones - Jonas is the boss now, and he wants Alicia gone. Tarzan tries to convince Leif that Christina is untrustworthy and should go, but his logic is a mystery to everyone but him.
Salani are surprised to find out they have been summoned to tribal council without a challenge,and when they see Manono walk in, Troyzan immediately notices Colton isn't there. Jeff explains Colton had appendicitis. The adorably dim Kat is shocked and says "Oh my God....what's that?" Leif can relate because he's had his removed and knows it's painful. Kat reacts as if she's worried she is next. It seems Alicia can't catch a break at all, because when she tells Sabrina that Colton kept the idol, nobody on Salani is willing to believe her.

Jeff then gives them some better news - they have merged! Everyone grabs their black buffs and Kim comments about how the game is back on. The twelve people left all head back to camp - the good camp, that is. It's One World again! And the possibilities for what happens next are endless. Game on.
STAR OF THE WEEK: CHRISTINA CHA
So much respect for this lady. She took a torrent of abuse on the chin and remained calm and reasonable throughout. She even helped her nemesis in his hour of need. I don't know if the merge will save her, but we'll see.
