If not, then at the very least I really hope he stirs up something to add to the story. The thing is the merge put Stephen in a solid position. He's not a major threat despite his schemes. People view Spencer and Ciera as bigger strategic threats, and Spencer has also proven he can perform well in challenges, while Stephen's chances of winning a challenge other than one involving math like the one he won in Tocantins (and he'd actually have a lot of competition in that department since a lot more players here are more intellectual than his Tocantins competitors) are pretty much nonexistent. So since he's in a majority alliance, not viewed as one of the top strategic threats, is near-bottom of the barrel as a challenge threat, and isn't a social threat by any stretch either, he'll probably be around a least a couple more episodes.
