Well, the merge happened, and the new tribe name is MRKU and if you don't know who he is his other tetragrammaton is EPMB!

Anyway, this week Mike surged! He is now sharing the top of the totem pole with Jenn. Whichever of them prevails over the other will be our likely winner.

Dan reached double digits this week and broke his low reminder pattern. That is good news for Dan. It is better news for Mike.

Sierra once again occupies the bottom dweller position having zeroed. Her story is over. She still has a chance of making it to the end but she will not win. She and Tyler still have yet to reach double digits so count him out too.
