Has anyone else seen the commercials with Colby selling razors? The interesting part is they don't use his name or anything related to Survivor. Does this mean he's on his way to an actual entertainment career? I don't think anyone's going to top Colleen landing a movie role (even if she was the love interest of a guy who humped sheep) but it's good to see our castaways finding work here and there.

More good news. If you didn't hear, last week's episode was the second most-watched TV show of the entire week. As long as they keep coming up with fresh twists, our favorite franchise won't be going away anytime soon.

And now back to the show. Part two of Episode 7 starts with the Outcasts preparing to vote two of their own back into the game. Each person gets to plead their case to the rest of the group. No one says anything compelling until Burton swears that he'll never lie to the other resurrected Outcast. He has to be a lock.

Each person will cast two votes at the same time and the two players with the most votes get their torches re-lit.

Ryan votes for Lill and says, "If it's not me I hope it's you." Awww.
Trish votes for Burton because he has the best chance to win Individual Immunities.
Lill votes for Ryan and says, "I hope we can be together." Double awww.
Michelle votes for Nicole because, "I know that you're one bad bitch." Anti-awww.

Jeff has 12 votes to tally and they go like this: Burton, Lill, Burton (#2), Lill (2), Michelle, Nicole, Ryan, Trish (everyone has one now), Ryan (2), and Nicole (2). That leaves a four-way tie with two votes each, and only two left.

Not for the feint of lung.

The next one is for Burton and he's in! And the final vote goes to…Lill! She's stunned but ecstatic. The Outcast outcasts say goodbye and Ryan leaves with a hug and kiss for his scout buddy.

The tribe assignments will be random and Lill will draw first. Burton wants her to get Drake but what fun would that be? Sure enough, each person will be going back to their original tribe.

Night 19 and there's a big thunderstorm at Drake. Sandra says she wants anyone but Burton back because she thinks he'll be angry. Cut to Burton silhouetted by lightning. Very nice effect. He returns to camp happy and positive. The others apologize to him and everyone puts on a friendly face. Burton tells us he doesn't know if it's genuine.

Morgan is absolutely miserable in the rain. They sit huddled in their ponchos. Do they ever sleep? Lill arrives and they say they're happy it's her but she doesn't buy it. Lill immediately starts talking about how she never felt welcome the first time around. Once again, the polar opposite from Drake.

The next morning Rupert pulls Burton aside to explain why he voted him out. Rupert says Burton's teasing about his dress and "plumber's crack" honestly hurt him. Rupert tells us he looks tough, "but in my head I'm that fat little terrified kid that was picked on every day of his life." Burton apologizes and says he feels bad for what he did. Both of these guys are playing very smart.

Rupert says Jon is next to go and Burton is very happy about that.

"What a stupid twist… but we're glad you're back."

Over at Morgan, Lill works while the others sleep. Not a dang thang's changed. Andrew then complains about the twist, in front of Lill! What is wrong with him? I am constantly amazed and how pathetic Morgan is in all they do.

Day 21 and Drake finds a lemon tree on their island. Great, Christa doesn't need any help making weird faces. Meanwhile Morgan mopes as they eat the last of their rice. Maybe we shouldn't blame Osten for wanting to leave this bunch.

Did you notice the big scratch on Burton's chest? Told you he almost lost a nipple.

They meet for a Challenge and Jeff asks about sustenance. "There is no food issue," Sandra says as she rattles off all they've been eating including corn, fish, fruit and beans. Jab the knife into Morgan a little more.

And right then and there they merge. Morgan is saved from starvation. The new Immunity Idol is revealed and it's a sword. Dumb.

The Challenge is a doozy. It's a race where each person has to swim underneath a platform. Osten would've cried. There will be two heats and the two fasted from each heat advance. The first race is between Tijuana, Christa, Rupert, Jon and Sandra.

After one lap, Rupert leads followed by Christa and Jon. Sandra is very last. Rupert easily wins the heat and Jon gets second even though he runs into a pole on his platform.

Burton and Ryan advance from the second group without too much trouble. The final race will be five laps!

Welfare for Morgan.

Rupert takes the early lead but Burton is right behind him. Rupe has very long hair when it's wet. Rupert still leads after three laps and Jon gives up. Blackbeard's still in front after four but Burton is gaining. It's a photo finish and…Burton wins! Double Immunity for him, and all the non-Outcasts are vulnerable. Burton will have the option of giving Immunity away and he has the rest of the day to decide. Perfect time to bargain for power.

The new tribe name is Balboa and Rupert is happy because, "That's my snake's name." Ew. We really didn't need to know--oh. That snake.

The ex-Morgans talk about targeting Jon, but Jon works on recruiting Lill. Burton joins in and Lill seriously considers Burton's offer.

Andrew senses something's up and confronts Lill. She's honest and says she doesn't know how she's going to vote yet. Andrew asks her to get back to him before Tribal Council but she reminds him how he never got back to her before voting her out. Touché. Rupert sneaks behind Andrew and encourages Lill by nodding his head.

The first post-merge Tribal Council is here. Jeff asks if Burton will give up Immunity since he has nothing to lose and he does in fact give it to Rupert. Very wise. Burton proved everyone's fears right in the Challenge and now he's solidifying his alliance. So three people can't receive votes now.

Andrew votes for "Little John" and says, "You talk too much smack."
Jon votes for "Savage" and busts out his Macho Man voice.
Christa votes for Andrew, and Tijuana votes for Jon. The only vote that matters now is Lill's.

The tally goes Jon, then five straight Andrews. Jon gloats and we can have no worse than a tie. But the next three votes are for Jon and now he's worried. The final vote goes to…Andrew! Lill has jumped ship and exacted her revenge. Well done.

Keep your snake to yourself.

Andrew says he is very proud of Morgan. Denial lives.

Next time on…Survivor: The Morganites decide to make friends by being lazy. Jon talks to Burton about turning on Rupert, while Sandra and Christa discuss dumping Burton for "the two females." And somebody learns about electric sea creatures.

Well, well, well. The remaining nine will be on the jury or better. The game begins for real now.

The logical thing for Drake to do would be to pick off Ryan, Tijuana and Darrah. But can they tolerate Jon for that long? Do they fear Burton's strength too much? As the preview shows, the wheeling and dealing will be fast and furious.

Who will be the biggest snake?
