Well tonight was the night of the merge. After the challenge was started it was a surprise to me that John was the first to drop off. Then it was Laura B. who dropped off leaving it to Laura M. as the winner who went back into the game. And with the merge first thing Laura M. does is drop the clue to the hidden idol in the fire. Seems everyone thinks that if keeping and reading it will put a target on their backs. And then with everyone playing as individuals it was Vytas who won the first individual immunity. At tribal council it was Aras who went to redemption island with a surprise blindside.
