"Q Who?"

I am wasting no time in going right into the next episode. At the reward challenge, the teams dropped their buffs, believing it was time to merge. Jeff hit them up with a huge surprise. They were all redrawing buffs to see who winds up on which team. All of Mogo Mogo ended up on Chapera. All of Chapera ended up on Mogo Mogo, except for one member; Amber (Rob M’s girlfriend and strongest ally in the game). The new Chapera tribe then lost the immunity challenge, and it was obvious what had to happen. They had to vote out Amber. However, as the two tribes were leaving, Boston Rob quickly made a plea to Lex that if he saves Amber that he will protect him from getting voted out once the merge comes. So, Lex decides to take him up on this, confers with Kathy and decides to vote out Jerri, who he now realizes was using him all along. The Jerri threat is now removed, but 3 episodes too late. Because now as it stood (one day before the merge) the original Mogo Mogo was down to 3 members where the old Chapera tribe was still at 6. Not good odds.

What should she have done to stay in?

She should have tried harder to work over Lex (here it would have been in his advantage to listen) and vote out Amber.

Why did she go?

She was manipulative and Lex finally realized it. Lex felt he would have a couple of good allies in Romber if he kept Amber in the game. Kathy agreed with this as she was close to Rob from when they were tribe mates on Marquesas, and felt she had a good connection with the Chaperians after the day she went on the cruise with them all.

Final What Mogo Mogo should have done.

In either universe, they should have voted out Amber. Hindsight is always 20/20.
