WHAT HAPPENED: Producers finally ended the suspense and let the competing Sook Jai and Chuay Gahn tribes merge into an ungainly whole dubbed Chuay Jai. Of course, the conniving reached stratospheric levels as the outnumbered former Sook Jai members tried mightily to make friends with a team they had derided as weak and old just a few weeks earlier. Tribemembers got a peek at video messages from home -- Gentry's was recorded by three of her children in Tampa -- with used car salesman Brian Heidik winning a reward challenge that involved carrying wicker balls over an obstacle course of sorts. (His prize: viewing of the entire video message from his wife, which only seemed to alienate other tribemembers.) With everyone's tempers on a hair trigger, gentle giant Ted Rogers Jr. ruffled feathers by going off for hours in a canoe for some "me time," and wiry Clay Jordan surprised everyone by winning immunity in a complex competition that involved translating numbers into Thai and digging up cards in a dirt field. Don't ask.
