Seems 100 and a merge is appropriate

The merger episode is one of the most important episodes. Far be it from me to usurp the writings of those who probably covered it but those who seemed to have legs were reinforced by their merge episode.

I have found myself in a place that fewer words seem best in my case so I would only suggest that the merge episode very nicely reflected Troyzan and Kim who have been faring extremely well as both part/parcel to their alliance and spearheading their own groups. Both are central figures but like many other end gamers are not necessarily the "big" story but rather, are surrounded by distraction. I would certainly not count out others with hints of longevity and one can always make an argument for a contestant to be used as that lovely goat, longevity certainly but winner definitely not!

The end game is actually not quite so far away and the editing seems very helpful this season.

My dissection of the episodes have been very illuminating in seeing how this story is shaping and the roles I like seeing fulfilled are being done quite nicely. Hopefully everyone is "watching" as intently as I am
