First Lindsey quit in Survivor: Cagayan Episode 5 because Trish is a lunatic, then Alexis proved to be out of her depth as the Beauty tribe imploded and almost made the Brains look smart by comparison.
When they return to camp, they discuss being the top six. Kass is overly honest in her opinion, telling Sarah that she is worried about her and Jeremiah. She will not trust her until she takes out a former tribemate. Well, then, how about she just gets rid of you instead?
They receive treemail telling them about the visiting each other on the same island. They’re counting their chickens already, but nobody used the word merge. Upon arrival, however, they do indeed read that word. They name their new tribe Solarrion, a combination of the two previous tribe names.
Tony realizes his tribe is outnumbered. His only hope is getting Sarah back onboard. Yeah, the one who is not part of his top five that he was shouting about last week. He no longer has any intention of taking her to the top, and I’m not sure he ever did.
Sarah’s under the impression she’s in the best possible position. Oh sure, for this week. In either situation, she’s on the bottom. Despite the fact that Sarah is in power for now, Kass insists on arguing with her about how to vote. Why does it matter so much? Do what she wants. As long as it’s not you. Later, Tasha steps in to be the mediator, but rather than just taking a deep breath, Kass still refuses to shut the hell up.
Their first individual immunity challenge is one of endurance. They will balance on platforms in the water. Everybody survives the first 15 minutes on the first set of footholds before climbing higher. Then another 15 minutes at the next set of footholds before moving to the top of the structure. This one seems like it will be a lot easier on the feet, though it is very narrow. Spencer, Kass, LJ, Sarah, Jefra, Tasha, Trish, and Jeremiah all fall on or shortly after the transition to the top. Morgan gets blown off next, and then there were two, likely among the top targets. Tony falls. Woo wins immunity. He was Sarah’s main target.
Despite Kass, Sarah wants to remain on that side because she considers them weaker. She wants Tony out, and she guarantees he does not have an idol (he does). Rather than just lie to him, she tells him she has to think about it and will decide at Tribal Council.
Trish approaches Kass, who tells her she would get rid of Sarah given the choice. That will make Sarah their vote.
Tony’s no longer keeping it secret. He does indeed have an idol, and he pulls one out at Tribal Council. This promptly leads to talk about how they’re voting for “the other one”.
After the vote, Tony passes his idol to LJ. LJ, in turn, wants to cover Tony, turning in a second hidden immunity idol.

With 6 votes, Sarah has been voted off the island. Everybody knows Kass flipped. It’s not even a question. She just pissed off 4 people to please a bunch of people she does not know. It’s not even like she was on the bottom of her alliance or anything that made sense. She was in the dominant sub-alliance of her alliance, and despite their utter incompetence, the Brains actually had a chance at taking control of this game, though she had no prayer of beating Spencer. In the end, Kass was right. She went about it the wrong way, but the vote for Jefra was so completely unexpected by the other side that they just blew two idols with neither hitting its target.
