I figure the merge happens next episode since I saw Randy holding a bottle of wine. The previews show Randy "thinking" he has a lot of power. Hopefully his overconfidence leads to his downfall.
It will be interesting to see if there are some sneaky alliance switching next time. I figure the 4 voting Kota alliance should be fairly strong since I do believe one of those 4 possibly stays around for quite a while.
Randy makes for great TV and is very entertaining...precisely
because he's an ass. Ideally, you'd watch him week after week and cheer when he finally gets voted out.
If someone like him wins, however, then something's gone wrong.
