Host Dillon didn't give the two tribes any time to mourn the loss of Rhino, Brenn and Bella. He announced that both tribes would merge immediately, and they were all to go back to their camps, gather up their belongings, and meet at the new campsite. He provided both teams with a map.

    TH went right to work, with Brandy in the lead, barking orders on who will carry what. "Brandy is a real bitch. I don't see HER carrying anything!" commented Kess as she quietly hid to avoid helping.

    Smoke took the lead guiding the group to the new campsite, but lost his sense of direction and took a wrong turn. Totally Hot had to backtrack and find their way again, this time with Xena in the lead (surely a bad sign when they have to rely on a Jack for guidance).

    At camp CE, Boomer suggested piling everything onto Sydney's luxury item, a large quilted dog bed, and pulling it to the new campsite husky style. Everyone seemed happy with this suggestion, and CE made great time, getting to the new site first. As a reward for getting there first, Dillon handed out Greenies to everyone on team Charging Eagles.

    Sadie, however, was not pleased. "That Boomer thinks he's so smart with his fancy ideas. I saw him lounging on top of the pile while everyone else was pulling, like he was Cleopatra. What a drama Queen! I'm not going to let him get away with that."

    Meanwhile, Jake, Diva, Sydney, Brenn and Bella made public appearances on various talk shows. Jake has taken on several endorsement contracts, including Ruffknits sweaters and Wolf Product Liver Biscotti. Brenn can be seen on this month's cover of Dog Sport Magazine, and Syndey is now lending his famous smile to Petzlife toothpaste. Bella and Diva will be signing autographs this weekend at at the Let Freedom Run II flyball tournament in Houston, where they will also be accepting entries for the Texas Summer Survivor tournament.

    Rhino had a different story. When he heard of Smoke's accusations that he stank, he was furious. "Earlier that day, I saw Smoke eating his favorite meal, Wolfe Brand Chili and Boiled Cabbage!", he told Mary O'Brien. Athough Rhino couldn't prove it, he suspected Smoke had used Rhino as a skapegoat for his own gasious expulsions. Michael Moore has reportedly been in contact with Rhino, but sources have not been able to confirm this report.

    The newly formed tribe, consisting of the remaining members of Charging Eagles and Totally Hot, set up their new camp. In a very transparent display of forced unity, the new tribe unanimously agreed to the new name "Charging Hotties".

    Kasey and Ruby worked tirelessly together to design a new flag for Charging Hotties, and discovered as fellow Canadians, they had a lot in common. Kasey was so thrilled to meet someone with a similar heritage that she started picking up Ruby's accent. As the finishing touches were made on the flag, Brandy unexpectedly ran through the design to break up Xena and Bounce who were playing nearby, covering herself in paint.

    "Boy Kasey and Ruby can make some ugly faces when they are angry!" commented Brandy. "That Brandy thinks she's so cool", said Kasey, "What a hoser!" "Fun Police, give me a break, I'm aboot to bite her, eh." was all Ruby had to say. Tension was obviously building.

    Dillon gathered up the newly formed Charging Hotties for their first tribal council after the merge. He asked the group about new alliances, to which Kess responded, "the game has changed, Dillon, so our strategy has to change. Maybe it's time for alliances to change too."

    After a difficult vote, Boomer and Smoke became the next 2 members to be voted off. After saying goodbye to his former teammates, Boomer remarked, "That Sadie thinks she's so tough, but she won't last much longer. She needs to lighten up!" "I was sure Brandy would have been next, with all that Fun Police crap", said Smoke, "she's next, I can feel it!"

    Keeper explained, "When the tribes united, it was obvious that Rhino had been wrongly accused. Smoke just couldn't hide his 'problem'." Bounce mocked, "Hey, look at me, I'm Boomer, I'm wearing shades because I'm so cool, Grrr! I'm not so mean any more. Grrr!" Eyes darted about, perhaps some of the more conservative Totally Hot members were offended by Bounce's Charging Eagle humor?

Sunshine Rain's Analysis:
"I really didn't think Smoke's odor was that bad, he smelled good to me. Poor Boomer, he tried to ride the wake of the Meanies, he was doomed. Boomer scares me, he's too big. Hey Smoke! Is that cabbage I smell? Mmmmmmm cabbage."
