The tribe has blindsided you: Bartender Erik Cardona, 28, was voted out of the newly merged tribe, and became the first jury member and this season's biggest blindside. "Wow, wow, wow," he said after being voted out while holding a hidden immunity idol, which he didn't play because "you can't defend against something that's invisible." His strategizing around camp seemed to freak everyone out, so they got rid of one of Galu's strongest players instead of picking off one of the weaker former Foa Foas.

We are family: Brett suggested "Aiga," Samoan for "extended family," as the new tribe name. In a confessional interview, Erik mocked that, saying, "What's Samoan for get the hell off my island?" Not sure, but 10 votes with your name on it will suffice.

American idol: Once the tribes merged, Russell went to Laura and promised her the hidden immunity idol. Then he did the same thing to Monica. Then he shared it with John. There were very few people left who haven't seen Russell's idol, including Jeff Probst, who received it when Russell played it at Tribal Council before the votes were read. None of the votes were for Russell, but he said, "Everybody knows I have it, I might as well play it."

No more confidence: Russell started the episode cocky and confident as ever, saying that Foa Foa was "steps ahead of them. We already have our plan down." At the newly merged tribe, he said, "I'm the ruler of this kingdom." But no, he wasn't: Post-immunity challenge, everyone started scrambling, leaving Russell to panic and play his idol. He finally admitted, "This is the first time I don't know nothing." Like why not to use double-negatives.
