"The Emissary"

Survive This!

Well, the merge was now here. Lex and Kathy had put their fates in the hands of Boston Rob when they saved Amber for elimination. When the newly formed tribe was merged however the ex-Sabogans wanted Lex out of there. So Rob did nothing for Lex, despite telling him he would do his best to save him. Kathy won immunity, but it was all for naught. Lex was the first person voted out to join the jury.

Why was Lex voted out?

He placed his trust in Rob and Amber. Big Tom wasn’t too keen on keeping his alliance with him any longer because Lex had already orchestrated the ousting of Ethan. Lex voted out all of his friends on Mogo Mogo besides Kathy, and was now left alone in the numbers game.

What could he have done to stay?

At this point, nothing. The only thing that would have saved him was winning immunity throughout the remainder of the shows run. His strategy had blown up in his face.

Part 2 of this is the voting out of Kathy in the next show. She only had Shii Ann left as an ally, and her fate was already decided by Romber.

What got her voted out?

Much like Lex, it was a numbers game. Chapera was pagoning the Mogo Mogos out one by one.

How could she have stayed in?

Once again, I sound like a broken record in this episode, but nothing. Chapera was a tight team at this time. She was seen as slightly more a threat than Shii Ann, so she was next on the chopping block.

So now the jury which will be voting for the sole survivor consists of Lex and Kathy.

Next time: trouble in paradise.
