Getting back from tribal, it seems Scot is the one who is most pissed, and vows to take out Joe and Aubry for being so indecisive. The Brains are well aware of their dire situation, with Joe watching Tai play with the chicken, and lament how the chicken is doing better than him.

| Neal packing heat |
Cydney notices a bulge in Neal's pocket that she thinks looks an awful lot like an idol. But when Michele notices a boat heading to camp, that plan is going to have to wait, since it's clear the merge is happening. Debbie is optimistic that she'll be able to pull in the people she needs to to maintain power.

| Scot carrying his bride over the threshold |
Scot and Aubry are really happy to see the boat pull up and be reunited with their former tribemates. Nick observes the merge dynamics and concludes that the chances of Brains and Brawn teaming up are low. He talks to Neal and tells him he can pull in Michele, but also talks to Jason and Scot and gets good info from them, such as the knowledge that both Neal and Tai have idols.

| Debbie on the attack |
Debbie goes up to Tai and tells him she wants him to be an alliance with them. Tai doesn't say no, but Debbie's handling of it is less than subtle. Aubry notices that Debbie is sinking their chances of getting numbers, and makes her own approach on Nick. But she's also on Jason's radar, who is being cocky himself, for being their best chance of dodging an idol. Neal tells Aubry he has the idol, and they hope they can get a tip-off on where the vote is going so they can use it.
Before the immunity challenge, Jeff asks to check out the various cuts and scrapes everyone has picked up. Tai has two nasty gashes on his thighs, Neal has a volcano on his leg, and Aubry and Scot both have bumps too. The challenge is to balance a ball on a disk, whilst also standing on a wobbly platform. Joe out first, then Debbie and Jason. When round 2 starts, Michele, Neal and Scot are all out quick. Only Nick, Julia and Tai make it to three balls, with Julia dropping out to leave a showdown between Tai and Nick. Nick wins immunity - damn, he still hasn't been vulnerable yet.

| Guess that Beauty has the most balls |
Nick is relishing the swing vote position, and is leaning towards siding with Brawn, since he thinks they're dumbasses. Michele wants to go that way too, since she doesn't think anyone will vote for Jason or Scot at the end. Neal still has a plan, though - to reach into his crotch and pull out...the idol, you pervs.
 |
| Neal puts up a fight |
Jeff comes into camp with a Doctor to give everyone a check-up, as a sense of dread builds. He checks Tai first, and...he's fine, the scabs are healing well. Scot's not so good, but is allowed to stay in the game, and Aubry is given some antibiotics. Neal's volcano has burst, and he has a nastier-looking one on his back too. As much as Neal tries to play it down, the Doctor gives him a more thorough examination and determines he will have to leave the game. As a big Survivor fan, Neal cries that his dream is ending this way but Jeff reassures him that at least he'll be on the jury.
Neal tells everyone he has to leave, and Aubry is hoping that he'll give her the idol. But he doesn't, and as Neal departs on the boat, so do the Brains' chances of getting a majority. But Aubry lives to fight another day, and that's what matters.
STAR OF THE WEEK: AUBRY BRACCO
With her epic final monologue to close the show, Aubry is this week's star. She's fighting hard to recover from a tough spot, and still has a chance to pull it off.
