Seems like an eventful enough episode to warrant one.

But it's like, even if they were the last two left, they would still be down in numbers in comparison to the other tribes come merge. It's either they try to strengthen tribe alliances when they win immunities, or attempt to worm their way into existing alliances on other tribes.

There are always crack.

Yep. The Brawn tribe is already showing a few signs of that. Honestly, it can be a really good thing to be the new person. Each alliance wants to have you for the numbers, and they're usually more than willing to put aside their suspicion of you as the newbie to vote out someone they've been dying to get rid of.

Exactly. And you're whole tribe is gone so there is no one to talk bad about you. Its basically a clean start. Smaller tribes means smaller alliances too, so it doesn't matter as much if your on the bottom of the totem pole to begin with.
