Boats are racing to the Naviti beach carrying the other two tribes, and Kellyn is raring to get the merge started. But as soon as they arrive, they are all sent away to the other side of the island, where they find the merge feast. Domenick is hoping his nemesis Chris won't target him straight away. Ha, good luck with that.

Chris finds an advantage in his buff...that's a new one. It tells him to wait for a boat to take him to Ghost Island at night where he will find an idol. Wendell brings Chris and Domenick together for a peace summit to see if they can agree to target a Malolo, but Chris dismisses it very quickly. Wendell is now done with Chris. At least he tried though.

| Chris tries his luck |
It's time for Chris to make his move and he gets to a torchlit Ghost Island to find J.T.'s
Game Changers idol waiting for him. At the moment, it's only good for one tribal council but he can increase its power by picking bamboo and risking his vote. He gets the first one right, but then loses the second one. I had a feeling someone like Chris would find restraint difficult, but hey, this is still a pretty good deal for him.
Chris and Domenick continue to talk trash about eachother try to get the other one out. Jenna and Libby discuss it among themselves and seem to conclude that Chris is a bigger target and more likely to be loyal. Not looking good for Domenick at this point.

| Proving she can do more than puzzles |
Our first individual immunity challenge is to hold a pole above your head whilst standing on a beam and trying not to drop the statue on top of it. Jenna and Donathan don't put up much of a fight, neither does Angela. Sebastian loses it too, and Domenick has a wasp bugging him but perseveres. It's being forced to go to the end of beam that knocks out Domenick, Michael, Chris and Wendell. Once Chelsea is out, it's a Kellyn/Libby showdown. Kellyn emerges victorious and secures her safety.

| Chris leads the pilgrimage |
Chris leads everybody to the well - and I mean literally everybody except Domenick and Wendell. There he plots to split the votes between them, since he still maintains Domenick has an idol. Donathan spills this plan to Domenick and suggests blindsiding Chris, whilst also warning him not to trust Libby. As Wendell campaigns, Kellyn gets the Naviti girls together and says they can seize the power themselves by all voting for Libby. I can't believe she's still insisting on Naviti strong.
Chris is at tribal council for the first time, and says now he finally feels alive. Domenick explains his side of the Chris feud, and pulls out his (fake) idol to wear around his neck. But Chris maintains he's not so innocent either and reminds everybody that he tried to get Angela out. Wendell sarcastically mentions how everybody got very thirsty and went to the well without him. Angela says that wasn't necessarily the only important discussion though.

| The truth hurts |
Time to vote (or not, in Chris' case). Wendell has some particularly harsh words for Chris, saying he's trash at rapping. Domenick gets up to play his idol, but plays the legacy advantage instead. Chris holds onto his idol. Chris gets votes, so does Libby, but then the Chris votes keep coming and the Noble one is blindsided. I wish I could say I was surprised this is how it ended for him, but...I'm not. I guess the J.T. idol really is cursed. Not only did both people who held it not get to play it, they were both voted out immediately after finding it.
Well, this showdown turned out to not be much of a contest at all - Derek Zoolander vs Tony Soprano. But the question now is, what next? Some people who were sitting comfortable letting these two duke it out have now got to declare a new target.
STAR OF THE WEEK: DOMENICK ABBATE
He finally emerged the victor of the heavyweight clash, as if there was any doubt. Now let's hope we can hear no more about it, and he's freed up to do something new at last.
