Winners: Denise and Carter

Story
Kalabaw and Tandang are no more, and the 11 remaining castaways now merged. Will the Tandang tribe (who has yet to visit Tribal Council) stay six strong, or break apart?

Behind The Scenes

 * As a play on how the castaways got battered by two weeks of rain, the new tribe calls themselves "Dangrayne" ("Dang, rain"). Before coming up with the tribe name, the castaways coin several name ideas. While R.C. leads the charge in painting the flag, their new tribe name does not sit well with her. While the castaways are given paints that resemble the colors of the three original tribes, the Dangrayne tribe mixes up the colors.

Life at Ponderosa

 * R.C. makes her way to her post-game medical check-up, and reveals she added 10 lbs. before heading for the Philippines. She finds out that she lost 5 lbs. in the 19 days she lasted. While binging on junk food and Filipino sweets, she is being debriefed by Dr. Tara, resident psychologist. R.C. tells her how dysfuctional Tandang was, despite their impressive winning streak. The next day R.C. visits a town in Caramoan.
