Tribe History
On Day 19, the Jalapao and Timbira each received treemail telling them that the winning tribe that day would receive at feast which left the 2 tribes unsure of whether it was a challenge or the merge. When both tribes arrived at the site where they both met, they did not find Jeff Probst but instead found a feast waiting there for them. J.T. read the letter saying that it was a merge and they are now 1 tribe. They decided to name their new tribe, Forza which meant strength in Portuguese.

After the newly merged tribe got back to camp, J.T. and Stephen were worried that the former Timbira members would start picking off each of the former Jalapao members 1 by 1 so they decided to form an alliance with Coach and Tyson in an attempt to stay in the game. Along with the 4 of them, they decided to include Debbie in the alliance. Taj started to become suspicious of Brendan because she was sure if he was holding up his end of their deal that they made on Exile Island. At the Immunity Challenge, it came down to Debbie and Tyson but in the end, Tyson was able to pull out the win, winning the first individual immunity challenge of the season.

After the challenge, Joe did not come back to camp with the rest of the tribe and was instead asked by Jeff Probst to stay at the challenge area and let the Survivor Medical Team look at his injured leg. Coach and Tyson decided that they wanted to make a plan to blindside Brendan at Tribal Council but due to the fact that they knew he had the hidden immunity idol, they decided to make sure there was 4 votes for Brendan and 3 votes for Sierra. But in the end, Coach and Tyson's plan was put to a screeching halt when they were told by Jeff Probst that Joe would not be returning to the competition as he had been medically evacuated from the game meaning that there would be no Tribal Council that night.

Even though Coach and Tyson's plan did not go exactly the way that they planned because of Joe's evacuation, Coach was still confident that his alliance would be able to maintain their control and decided to target Brendan for elimination next, followed by Sierra. Since Erinn's closest ally, Joe, was taken out of the game, she decided to try and join the alliance of the former Jalapao members. At the Reward Challenge, it came down to the team consisting of Brendan, Debbie and J.T. against the team consisting of Erinn, Sierra and Stephen and in the end, Brendan's final toss was good enough to win the reward for his team.

While Brendan, Debbie and J.T. were on their reward, Brendan decided to have a discussion with J.T. about going to the final 2. When they got back to camp, Brendan talked to Sierra and Taj about keeping J.T. in the game and voting out Coach, Erinn and Tyson. At the Immunity Challenge, it came down to a close competition between Brendan, J.T. and Tyson but in the end, Tyson was able to pull out another win, winning his 2nd straight Immunity Challenge.

Coach and Tyson decided that they were going to do the same thing that they were going to do last time which was to split the vote with 4 votes against Brendan and 3 votes against Sierra to make sure they had a back-up plan in case Brendan played the immunity idol. Brendan decided to tell Stephen and J.T. about the Exile Island alliance which made them think about following that alliance instead of the one they made with Coach and Tyson. At Tribal Council, Brendan revealed that he had the hidden immunity idol, but decided not to use it because he felt sure that he wasn't getting voted out. But in the end, J.T., Stephen and Taj decided to stick with their alliance with Coach and Tyson, and blindsided Brendan by a vote of 4-3-2.

After the tribe got back to camp, Sierra was afraid that she would be the next to go so she decided to make amends with Coach. Sierra also tried getting other people to change their vote so she would not be voted out next but Tyson said that he was definitely not changing and that she would be voted out next. At the reward challenge, the red team of Debbie, Erinn, J.T. and Tyson were able to beat the black team of Coach, Sierra, Stephen and Taj and won the challenge.

Stephen was sent to Exile Island where he was able to find the seventh clue to the original immunity idol which meant that there was no new one that had been placed. Sierra continued to beg for Coach to keep her in the game but he continued to refuse. At the immunity challenge, the contestants had a choice of whether they wanted to play in the challenge or sit out and eat pizza. Coach, J.T. and Stephen chose to sit out while everybody else competed for immunity. In the end, even though Sierra came very close to winning immunity, Debbie was able to snatch it from her and was able to win immunity.

When the tribe got back to camp, Erinn suggested to Stephen and Taj that it may be a good idea to vote out Tyson at Tribal Council due to the fact that he finally lost an individual immunity challenge. Stephen agreed that if they didn't do it now that may not have another chance to do it, so he convinced J.T. to blindside Tyson. J.T. was unsure if he wanted to break the "warrior" alliance that he had with Coach and Tyson. In the end, after a heated argument between Sierra and Tyson, J.T. decided to turn away from his "warrior" alliance and Tyson was blindsided by a vote of 5-3.
