Tribe History
On Day 20, both tribes received Tree Mail about the upcoming immunity challenge. Members of both tribes, however, were unsure if the merge was to come, as the latest twist in the game made them unsure if the merge would happen at the normal time. Upon arriving at the challenge, Probst shocked the 10 remaining castaways by asking them to drop their buffs, as they had finally merged. The castaways received new, green buffs, and celebrated making it to the merge. It was decided that the Boran camp was where the new tribe would live for the duration of the game. The tribe immediately took on their first individual immunity challenge. It came down to Teresa and Clarence, and the two decided to play a game of rock, paper, scissors to determine the winner. Teresa beat Clarence, and Clarence eliminated himself, giving immunity to Teresa.

Returning to the Boran camp, the castaways decorated their new flag, where Lex decided on the name "Moto Maji", which meant fire and water. The entire tribe bonded over food they received for making the merge, with the exception of Frank, who alienated himself from the tribe, feeling as though he did not fit in. The next day, before Tribal Council the original Borans decided to vote out Clarence, who was a physical threat as well as an alliance outsider since the beginning. Lex told him of their plans, which Kelly did not agree with. Teresa promised Clarence she would not vote against him with everyone else, and at Tribal Council, the two voted against Lex, which shocked him. But ultimately, Clarence received the remaining eight votes, thus sending him packing.

Upon returning from Tribal Council, Lex approached everyone asking them if they were the mystery voter who voted against him with Clarence, but everyone denied it. He did not realize it had actually been Teresa, who also lied about the incident. The next day, Ethan won the Reward Challenge, and the day after that, he got to chose one person to accompany him on the reward. He chose Lex for being the closest to beating him, and the two set off on the reward. At camp, Teresa and Frank reluctantly approached Kim P. and Brandon, whom they had problems with on the original Samburu tribe, to form an alliance out of necessity, as the original Borans had a 5-4 advantage over the original Samburus. The next day, Ethan won the Immunity Challenge. At camp, Lex came to a wrong conclusion that Kelly was the mystery voter, and he and his alliance decided to turn on her. Realizing that her only hope was to align with the Samburus, Kelly did just that, and that gave them the 5-4 advantage. Lex, however, approached Brandon, who had reservations about joining the voting bloc with Frank and Teresa, to vote with them against Kelly. At Tribal Council, Brandon was the swing vote between the two four-person voting blocs, and ultimately decided to go with the Borans, eliminating Kelly in a 5-4 vote, and shocking her, Kim P., and Teresa. Brandon's treachery though, made both alliances distrust him, and the two factions joined forces, voting him out, despite Lex's campaign not to do so.
