—Episode Synopsis

Night 11

Vati returns from Tribal Council, where it is revealed that Chanelle Howell was the one that cast a throwaway vote against Mike Turner. While Hai Giang and Lydia Meredith pushed for the Vati four to stay united and Mike and Chanelle hug it out, Mike states that he will never trust her again for the rest of the game.

	Chanelle	“	Oh my goodness! The saga of Chanelle vs. Daniel, guess who came out on top? I did! (laughs) Just like I knew it. Tribal was incredible, but it was also very scary, you know, I threw a vote Mike's way just in case Daniel played the Shot in the Dark.	”

	Mike	“	Chanelle wrote my name down for no reason other than to save her own behind. Expected, no; surprised, no. I act like, no big deal, it's gameplay, it's fine, no hard feelings, which is not true. I will never trust Chanelle ever again.	”

Day 12

The tribes convene for what they believed to be the merge. However, after they drop their buffs, Jeff Probst informs them that this would not be a regular merge. Instead, the final twelve would have to earn their merge, until which they will be without a tribe and vulnerable to be voted out at the next Tribal Council. The remaining castaways draw rocks to be divided into two teams of five, with two people sitting out and having their fate put in the hands of the winning team. The teams are divided as follows:

Chanelle	Drea	Hai	Jonathan	Lydia
Maryanne	Mike	Omar	Romeo	Tori

Lindsay Sit-Out

Rocksroy Sit-Out

Challenges

Reward/Immunity Challenge: Rolling Stones
Divided into two teams of five, each team must dig up a large ball partially submerged in sand, then roll it through an obstacle course. At two points along the course, one member must climb atop the ball to retrieve two sets of keys. At the end of the course, the teams must use the ball to help scale a tower, then use the keys to unlock a 75-piece jigsaw puzzle at the top level. The first team to solve their puzzle wins.
Reward: The merge feast, provided by Applebee's
Additional Stipulation: The winning team will not have to compete in the first individual Immunity Challenge. In addition, they must choose one of the two people who sat out the challenge to invite to the reward. The team must then decide whether to send one of themselves or the other sit-out to Exile Island. Further, the exiled player will be given the choice to use the Hourglass advantage to reverse the results of the challenge, transferring immunity to themselves and the members of the losing team, rendering the winning team vulnerable.
Winners: Orange Team (Hai Giang, Jonathan Young, Lydia Meredith, Maryanne Oketch, and Tori Meehan) (shared with Lindsay Dolashewich, exiled Rocksroy Bailey)
