Survivor fans ready? Thirteen are left. Who will be voted out tonight?

Oh my! The other two tribes arrive by boat at Tiva. And, there is a feast to be had. It's time for the merge.

John, although he grew close to Christian, thinks that the old David/Goliath tribal lines. Gabby is thinking there should be an idol, but doesn't see one. Angelina is leery of Alec since she found out he flipped in the Natalia vote. Carl is fueling the "take out a David" Goliath theory by bad-mouthing Elizabeth. Dan tells Kara that he found a second idol. He's smitten, y'know. 

Angelina thinks they should aim for the stronger Davids -- Christian is one she considers a threat. Meanwhile, Christian remains a shaky bond with his two Goliath bros --John and Dan. John seems more cut-throat. Dan seems more willing to forget some of the original tribal bonds. Christian rekindled his alliance with Nick, too. This is getting complex!

Dan and Kara are getting a bit too careless with their relationship. It's putting a target on their backs. Mike, Alec and Alison decide they can work together. Mike would like to bring Nick into their group. Alec works on getting both Gabby and Christian in with them. Christian calls it a Counter-Goliath Surgency -- a Strike Force. He thinks they just might be able to rule the game.

Elizabeth wants to pull in Alec into her little group. She doesn't know that the group he's already in thinks of her as a sacrificial lamb. He doesn't tell her and decides he can play double agent for a while.

Dan is irked that his name is being brought up. Heck, he has two idols and no worries!

Time for the first individual Immunity Challenge! Swing a pendulum around a frame. If they knock the statue in the middle down, they're out. If they fall, they're out. If the pendulum stops moving, out.

Mike is out first. Christian is out. Both lost momentum. Carl out. Gabby out. Kara out. Nick out. 

Next phase has them switching hands live while in the challenge. Davie, Angelina, Alec out. John out. 

Dan out. It's Alison and Elizabeth still in the running. 

ALISON wins the first individual immunity! 

Angelina is pushing the Out Christian agenda. Hey, I find him very entertaining. I want him to stay! Dan feels torn -- he would like Elizabeth out. Now Gabby is rethinking her thoughts of Elizabeth being a sacrificial lamb. She would prefer a Goliath go. Alec doesn't want his Strike Force or his friends on David to think he's betraying them. He does NOT want Christian out. 

Dan tells Angelina they don't want Christian out. Now she's mad. She thinks he was condescending. He told her they need chaos out. Hmm. Chaos, is your name Angelina? Heh. Angelina runs to Elizabeth telling her that they've got her name out there -- Elizabeth's name, that is. Gabby is reinforced with the idea of getting Angelina out.

Tribal Council time. Elizabeth tells them all that Angelina told her she was the target. Uh-oh. That has Angelina stuttering. Ohh ... raised voices. Ohh ... whispering. Oops. Gabby is in tears. More whispering. Angelina is saying she was just trying to be a loving person. Elizabeth is pushing the Goliath has fractures agenda. We know Elizabeth will vote Angelina and vice versa.

The tally:
Angelina, Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth ...

Elizabeth is gone. It was unanimous with the exception of Elizabeth's vote.
