At the Council, Jeff explains that Burton and Lil have immunity, and since Burton has also won the Immunity Challenge, he can "assign" his immunity to someone else. He does that, passing the cutlass to Rupert, who beams. With three members immune to being voted off, the votes are cast. With six votes against him, Andrew is the first Balboa tribe member to be voted off. Jon, with four votes against him, smirks as Andrew leaves the Council area. His final advice to his team: "Stick it to Drake, show them what we're made of, and continue to make all of us proud."

So - more surprises!

Were you surprised the merger happened so soon after the return of Lil and Burton? Yes or No?
