In Skin of My Teeth (Episode 8), the two tribes witness Laura Morett winning the re-entrance duel and they are told that they are now one merged tribe. Aras believes that he is the leader of the majority that includes himself, Vytas, Tina, Katie, Gervase, Tyson, and Monica. Tyson goes searching the hidden idol at the merged camp, which is the old Tadhana camp and find the idol. In a memory recall immunity challenge, it came down to the two brothers Aras and Vytas. Vytas wins and Aras wants to split the vote between Laura Morett and Ciera (just in case the "minority" has an idol). At tribal council, a discussion of the numerous ways that the vote can take (couples vs individual, women vs males, returnees vs loved ones, etc.) Tyson is able to form an alliance which turns out to be the majority alliance that includes Tyson, Gervase, Laura Morett, Ciera, Caleb, Hayden, and Monica. The majority alliance is able to vote off Aras by a vote of 7-2-2.

In My Brother's Keeper (Episode 9), two immunity challenges and tribal councils take place. Tina tries to stir up trouble by trying to place Tyson and Monica as traitors of her alliance, but Tyson is able to quell this with saying that they wouldn't in an alliance that worked. Tina told her daughter Katie that she should try to get in a new alliance without her mother since Tina is in a bad place in the game to further the daughter's game. Tyson, Monica, and Vytas win in the first heat of the 1st round. Hayden, Gervase, and Caleb wins the second heat of the 1st round. Monica and Gervase advanced to the final round. Monica wins the immunity challenge. The majority alliance considers voting either Vytas (to complete sending the Baskauskas brothers to Redemption Island) or Katie (to get rid of a threat). Monica is classified as paranoid by other alliance members and is seen scrambling while she has the necklace. At tribal council, Vytas puts Monica on the spot because they will in an alliance at New Galang, but then Monica flipped after the merge. Vytas is voted out by a vote of 8-1-1. Back at camp, Monica says that she flipped her vote to Vytas, which gets Tyson and Gervase worried about the ill effects of Monica (though it seems apparent that it was not just Monica who switched her vote to Vytas). Hayden, Tyson, and Katie are the final three left standing in the second immunity challenge. Katie wins the second immunity challenge of the episode. Tina is voted out by a vote of 7-1-1 (Monica and Tyson received votes).

In Big Bad Wolf (Episode 10), Tina pulled out an early lead during the Redemption Island Duel, but she would lose it as she struggled through the labyrinth, granting Vytas the first finishing spot, keeping in the game. Tina would eventually come in second, and Aras became the first jury member. Monica won immunity and decided to give the reward to the other castaways to get on their good graces. It came down to either Katie or Laura M, with Laura M sent to redemption island by a vote of 7-1.

Episodes 11-
In Gloves Come Off (Episode 11), Laura Morett finished the duel first and helped Tina place 2nd. Vytas joins his brother in Ponderosa. Ciera, Gervase, and Tyson chose to partake in a feast without competing in the immunity challenge. Monica wins her third immunity challenge. There was initial talk about voting out Katie (the last of the original minority alliance), however Ciera uses the opportunity to break up the Male alliance and she is able to convince Tyson and Gervase to side with her and Monica to vote off Caleb. Caleb by a vote of 4-3.

In Rustle Feathers (Episode 12), Caleb loses the duel after narrowing placing 2nd when his tower of cards drop with Tina mockingly counts down to her second place victory. Before the duel, Hayden makes a good move by commenting that Tyson has the game won unless someone makes a huge move against him due to the gameplay that Tyson has done so far. Ciera gets a clue from her mother and reads out aloud to her alliance members (Tyson, Gervase, and Monica). All six race to find the re-hidden idol, but Tyson finds the idol once again. Tyson feels implicitly safe, but Hayden and Gervase talk about possible ways of overthrowing Tyson. Though Hayden seems like he got inside the alliance, but Gervase wins immunity and invites Monica and Tyson to partake in his reward. At the tribal council, Hayden is able to get Ciera on her side and thus forced a 3-3 vote and then the non-tied vote getters (Katie, Ciera, Tyson, and Gervase) get to vote again. The second vote is 2-2, which means that they are deadlocked. Jeff Probst states that unless Katie, Ciera, Tyson, and Gervase can unanimously vote one of the two (Hayden or Monica) out of the game, then Katie, Ciera, and Tyson were draw rocks. Ciera can not persuade Tyson or Gervase to vote Monica out, thus rocks are drawn. Katie draws the different colored Rock (white) and is sent to redemption island.

In Out On a Limb (Episode 13),
