Player notes:

Ozzy lays it on thick at the Redemption Island Challenge, lambasting Cochran – but Upolu doesn’t buy it
Upon merging, Cochran started his double agent schtick on Coach, who immediately called his bluff and laid out the entire plan as it was executed
After being called out, Cochran came clean to all of the old Upolu alliance, admitting everything
Cochran later reveals the Savaii vote plan to Sophie and Coach but Dawn appears to reel him back in by persuading him to play with integrity

Friends & Foes:

Cochran later confides in Dawn and they both agree that they are outcasts in the tribe and may need to make a move against them, and the potential of betraying them and realizing the poor treatment of Cochran causes Dawn to break down; Cochran lays out their options and their alliance seems to be solidified
The Savaii alliance decides to let Whitney play the idol and take the odds with a split vote, having then 3 players sitting out the rock drawing
Cochran admits after Keith is eliminated that he flipped and he would explain later; Jim calls him a coward, Cochran tells him not to talk to him like that, and Brandon replies that is why Cochran flipped, telling Cochran to stay close to him

Other notes:

The tribes merged after Ozzy’s victory in the Redemption Island Challenge into Te Tuna
The first individual immunity went to the last man and last woman standing in the challenge
