When the Tribes Merge, the majority of the Merged Tribe were voting with their heart, meaning that many Pagong members were even voting for each other, however, Richard, Kelly, Rudy and Susan had been in an alliance for a little while and were voting as a unit.

Shortly after the Merge, James had two Hidden Immunity Idols. Todd and Amanda realized how dangerous James was, as there were only three Tribal Councils left that James could use the Idols. Because of this, Todd and Amanda pulled in their alliance-members, Courtney and Denise, as well as Erik from the other alliance. The reason for Erik's addition was actually genius. James was voting for Peih-Gee, so if James played his Idol and Erik also had voted for whoever Peih-Gee voted for, then that person would go home. |
||
After the Merge, the "Couples Alliance", consisting of Ozzy, Amanda, Parvati, James and Cirie, helped vote out Eliza.

When it came down to the Final Seven, only one man, Tarzan was left in the game and the women appeared to be poised to take him out.

It was widely known that the winner should have taken Tarzan and Christina, due to medical issues with their loved ones.

||
After Jay lost Immunity, he was the one clear target because he was a huge physical threat. However, David was also on the chopping block because he was a strategic threat.

After the Merge, Tribal lines weren't focused on at first, as two original Naviti, Chris and Domenick, wanted each other out badly, as they had since the very beginning, they just happened never to be at Tribal Council together yet. Both Chris and Dom went searching for numbers. Dom immediately had Wendell and the two had a tight, unknown alliance with Laurel and Donathan but the numbers were blurred, with some of the girls even thinking about blindsiding Libby. However, in the end, all but two of the Tribe sided with Domenick and blindsided Chris, who left with a Hidden Immunity Idol in his pocket. |

Jeremy and Michele spent a lot of time on the bottom Post-Merge, but Tony kept Jeremy alive, as he wanted to use him as a shield. It seemed like Tony would finally have to get rid of Jeremy, but he came up with a new plan. Tony pulled a strong ally in Nick over to Jeremy and Michele in hopes of blindsiding Sophie, who was too close to Tony's main ally Sarah, with Tony taking advantage of the fact that his alliance was splitting the votes, allowing 4 votes to take it, even though there were 9 people still in the game. |
