Bully For You
Blackmail Or Betrayal - Alex and Mookie undertake a hilariously misguided effort to bully Yau Man, which results in people hating them even more than before. Alex votes against Mookie, which sends Mookie home, roasting in the juices of betrayal. |

Dumb Luck
Are We Gonna Live On Exile Island? - The tribes merge, sort of, but then they wind up divided again at the immunity challenge. Michelle's ducks couldn't be more in a row, but when she's thrown in with strange ducks, she can't save herself. |

Lo-o-o-o-sers
So You Think You Can Meke? - Lisi sizes up her tribe as totally worthless, and after playing a major role in its losing both challenges (again), she volunteers to be booted. Her last-minute pleas notwithstanding, she is booted. |

Scrambled Dudes
I've Got Strength Now To Carry The Flag - The tribes mix up, and all the young, buff dudes go off together, except that they take Anthony and leave Boo. Delightfully, that tribe winds up at Ouch Camp, but less delightfully, when they lose the immunity challenge, they send Anthony home. |

She Saw It Coming
This Isn't Survival...It's Thrival - The good thing about Sylvia's booting is that it was completely obvious, particularly since she got no opportunity to look for the idol between the challenge and tribal council. In other news, Gary has a cracked rib or something. |

Not So Fast, Sylvia
Snakes Are Misunderstood...We Have An Understanding Now - Sylvia's back from Exile Island, and getting on everybody's nerves. But when Erica kind of goes over the edge at the challenge and the team gets the chance to blame her for losing, she leaves instead. Leaving instead of Sylvia: the final insult. |

The One Where One Tribe Has A Toilet
Something Cruel Is About To Happen...Real Soon - This season gets off to an unusual start when a luxurious camp is constructed. But it turns out that only one tribe gets to live there, while the other one has to boot off Jessica. Well, they choose to boot off Jessica, really. |

Remember When Everyone Wasn't Dumb That One Time?
Reunion - Yul, Ozzy, and the people off of whom they beat the pants return for a chat with Jeff Probst, a display of their post-show plumage, and discussions of various romances that never were. |

The Finish That Was Weirdly Satisfying
This Tribe Will Self-Destruct In 5, 4, 3... - It's hard to believe, but the final three all turn out to be vaguely deserving, and the most deserving one of all takes the money. Don't drop your teeth or anything, but the race-wars season actually ended pretty well. |

I Have The Advantage...For Once - Adam and Parvati are on the ropes, so Parvati cranks up her "appeal" during a spa reward with Yul and Ozzy. She gets voted off anyway. |

Sweet Johnny Blue-Eyes
Arranging A Hit - Parvati and Adam are totally outnumbered this week by the Aitu four plus their new pal Jonathan. Only a couple of tribal councils left, and only one sensible goal: keep Rarovians from ending up in front of the jury, at any cost. Of course, Aitu decides to boot Jonathan instead. |

Candice Canned
You're A Rat - Raro really can't believe Jonathan is such a rat that he isn't letting them win, so they spend the episode trying to get back at him by forcing Aitu to vote him off before them. It doesn't work, and Candice goes home. |

Flip! Flip! Flip! He's A Flipper!
Why Would You Trust Me? - The merge comes too soon for Aitu, which finds itself down 5-4. It ought to be sewn up, but of course, things are never sewn up when Jonathan is involved, and Nate ultimately takes a well-deserved trip home. |

You Too, Smug McSnitty
People That Like You Want To See You Suffer - Aitu beats Raro at a reward challenge and wins itself a trip to a fine feast. Then it beats Raro at an immunity challenge and wins itself the opportunity not to go to tribal council, where Raro boots both Rebecca and Jenny. |

Brad Idea Jeans
Mutiny - "So I told my tribe I have no plans to be loyal to them. What's the worst that could happen?" Oh, Brad. Also: Candice dumps Aitu for Raro. Jonathan reluctantly follows. Aitu becomes a compact ball of fierce challenge energy. |

Roller Away
Why Aren't You Swimming? - Two swim/puzzle challenges are split this week as Aitu gets the reward and takes home some food, while Raro gets immunity and sends Aitu to tribal council. Ozzy and Jonathan survive some rumbles about their elimination, and it's poor JessiFlicka who goes home. |

Dos Boots
Plan Voodoo - Each tribe has to boot someone this week, even after Aitu beats Raro in a wrestling challenge because it's lucky enough to have...Candice. Cao Boi and Cristina, each of whom has emerged as the designated annoyance of his or her tribe, are sent home. |

The Week All The Challenges Had Hugging
Don't Cry Over Spilled Octopus - This week's challenges require a lot of contact, up close and personal-like, for our various contestants. Adam and Nate prove that they're still the bulkiest big dogs, but when Aitu masters balance first, Raro sends home Stephannie, who's probably really sorry she ever brought up mashed potatoes. |

So Much For Muscled Entitlement

My Alliance-Mate Flicka
Flirting And Frustration - You will not be surprised to hear that the tiny tribes are merged this week into two tribes, or that the tribe with four out of five of the buff dudes on it wins the largely physical challenge. Yul and Jonathan join forces to recruit Cao Boi and Flicka, and it's farewell, Cecilia. |

Bye Bye, Billy
Dire Straits And Dead Weight - Impatient Aitu, under the watchful eye of Ozzy's snooty self-importance, decides to throw a challenge and boot a guy so he can't cost them a challenge. Man, that's genius. They send Billy home, and Candice doesn't even know she's grateful, but she is. |

Off To The Races
I Can Forgive Her, But I Don't Have To Because She Screwed With My Chickens - We begin the thirteenth season with a foray into racial segregation, but the whole thing ultimately breaks down into gender dynamic and the shunning of the pushy guy who wants to run things. So...not really that much of a shocker. |

Interrogating Shane's Flapping Shirt
Reunion - The S12 contestants explain...very little, really, other than that it's all good and nobody's bitter. They've all had a great experience -- and they wouldn't dream of telling you what they really think of Aras. |

The Final Showdown - Cirie gets a predictable send-off at F4, as many very nice people have gotten before her. Then Chiclets grabs the F3 immunity rather unexpectedly, and she takes Aras -- who beats her. A million dollars will buy a lot of meditation. |
