Jon immediately starts apologizing after getting back to camp and attempts to distance himself from Drew, but Jeremy isn't buying it. Coyopa are just happy that someone else is taking the "walk of shame" and not them, but Alec doesn't anticipate seeing Drew gone when he gets to the arena. The whole tribe are pretty shocked, actually - if only they knew what a douche he was. Probst then drops the bomb that they're switching tribes.

| Reunited and it feels so good |
Buffs are handed out, and all the pairs end up together except Wes and Keith. Missy/Baylor, Jon/Jaclyn and Kelley/Dale join Keith on Coyopa, whilst Wes is heading to Hunahpu with all the singles plus Josh and Reed. It's a bittersweet thing being paired up, and Probst asks Reed if he thinks he'll be a target now.
Josh admires the new Hunahpu camp, but is less impressed when Reed informs him that they have very little rice due to poor rationing. Jeremy is worried for a different reason - he thinks Josh could pull Reed over to vote with the old Coyopas, leaving him on the outs. As they enjoy a long walk on the beach, we get a little insight into their unique relationship - turns out Josh only came out recently and that the two of them are remaining abstinent until marriage.

| Baylor's excited for her future divorces |
Jon and Jaclyn are lovin' it up on Coyopa, and both of them feel a new resurgence in the game. Slight jealousy from Baylor not withstanding, all the couples appear to be getting along. Keith goes fishing on his own. He's not too worried...if he can't break in, he'll just play his idol.
So far Natalie is not impressed with Alec, thinking he isn't really that different from his brother. But Natalie and Jeremy need Alec if they're to have any chance in the game, and try to convince him that sticking with the single people is the way to go. Alec is feeling good about having escaped Drew's shadow, and stroking that ego is part of Jeremy's plan.

| Kelley tries to prevent a rice war |
Dale has an objection to Missy using too much rice whilst cooking. She says they used to cook a lot back on her old tribe...yeah, and look what happened. That's not the only thing Missy is mad about either, as she's heard Dale has been gunning for her daughter since the beginning. Kelley has to take Dale aside and tell him to tone it down...his abrasiveness is making them both targets.
Hunahpu are really feeling the hunger now, to the point where Reed even wants to kill a vulture (WTF?). Going into the challenge, Josh worries that they might have to make a trade. The challenge involves digging up bags and then crawling through a mud pit, before shaking down sandbags to toss onto a scale. Hunahpu are through the mud whilst Coyopa are still digging. Are they even in there? Hunahpu rock their pole very vigorously, spilling the bags everywhere but it turns out to be a better strategy than Coyopa, who are too meek to even get anything out at first. Wes does a great job throwing the bags, so good in fact that Jon doesn't even manage to get a shot off before they've won. The victorious tribe bring up the food situation, and Probst says he'll sort it out after tribal council. For a minute, I almost thought they were gonna trade immunity for rice!

| A rare shot of Dale in a good mood |
As Coyopa clean up back at camp, Keith is hoping that the Dale vs Missy feud will take the attention off him. Both sides are trying to woo Jon and Jaclyn, with Dale doing so by informing them of how Baylor is a serial flip flopper. Baylor gives her side of the story to Jaclyn, saying that she's always wanted to work with her but hasn't had the opportunity until now. The Michigan pair have the option to go either way tonight, and Missy wants to split the votes after seeing Kelley go out searching for the idol.
Probst starts off with Keith at tribal council but moves on quickly when he rules him out as a target. Dale's beef with the cheer girls takes centre stage, as Dale admits that he speaks to Baylor "very little". Missy talks about wanting to protect her kid from big bad bully Dale, and Dale correctly points out that she was the one who came after him first. It becomes clear that Jon and Jaclyn are the prom king and queen tonight, and neither of them are looking forward to voting someone's loved one out right in front of them.
Probst reads the Baylor votes first before switching to Kelley. Then he starts revealing Dale votes and at that point, the Wentworths know they've lost out. Kelley ends up being the one set home, which was a big shock to me as Dale was the one causing problems. I guess they knew she'd be the more likely one to bounce back after the merge.
I guess we can add Kelley to the "screwed by the swap" list, then - and she seems to agree that her dad was her downfall. I'm unreasonably upset about this one, I was just starting to like Kelley. But I bet Dale is even more unhappy, and now he's going to be more miserable than usual when he gets back to camp.
STAR OF THE WEEK: JON MISCH
Nobody benefited from the swap more than Jon. Him and his girl both left behind shaky positions on their old tribes to become the power brokers of New Coyopa. The lovers can even get away with constant PDA, as they're the hottest couple in town. They recently got engaged, too - good for them!
