Episode Six:

	It was definately time for Sountun to start getting scared.  Eight people will leave the game before the merge, and they already lost four.  If they lose any more, then there is no hope for an even merge, and Pekata can easily create a voting block against them and get them out one by one.
	Sountun was assuming that Pekata was working together, and didn't think they had their own problems splitting their tribe, but Kathy still came up with a plan to make sure they don't lose any more people.  She had a talk with the other five members of her tribe which erased the line drawn down the middle of them.  The fact that Ken had won all their bunnies was a blessing to the entire tribe, despite the fact that no one else had any.  Adding all the bunnies together, Ken had 52 bunnies.  The idea is to use Ken as a scapegoat.  All five members would vote for him to compete in the elimination challenge.  He has more than enough bunnies to neutralize the votes and start at higher ground than the others.  The only problem is that Ken can not vote for himself, and must send another member to the challenge without the security of bunnies.  It would be hope that their one person can do better than at least one member of Pekata.  And hopefully there would be a bunny game this round that can give someone on their tribe something to work with.  The tribe is now united for once, and Kathy is respected as a good leader.  And it is a rare occasion when a tribe knows they have a leader, and keeps them around.
	While Sountun is finally one, Pekata is splitting more than ever.  Brandon finally figured out how to get Teresa and Tina on his side.  They wanted Brian out last time.  Now he has to stab him in the back and trade one ally for two.  Would it be worth it?  Brian is a good leader, and strong enough to keep him in the game.  Both Brian and Tina are winners of Survivor, and have the strength and will to make it to the end.  But as people already don't like him, a backstab can't be good for his reputation.  Even if it does mean an extra ally.  He would have to make his decision this round, though, because if Teresa and Tina know how close he is to Brian, he would forever be associated with him, and once Brian is gone, they have their next target.

	Bunny Challnge:   The winning tribe splits 36 bunnies.  Sountun members would get 6 each, while Pekata would get 4 each.  This is one advantage to having less members of your tribe.  When you share bunnies, there are more to go around.
	To make the tribes even, three people had to sit out on Pekata.  They picked Brandon, Brian, and Jake.  With six people on each tribe, the people would go, head to head, in a game of high card.  The losers would be knocked out of the game, and the remaining players of each tribe have to beat out the other tribe(eliminating all 6 members) before they are all eliminated themselves.  The last tribe to have a member left in the game wins.
Deal One:  Colby vs. Alicia.   Colby deals an Ace, while Alicia deals a 9.  In this game, like in elimination games, Aces are low, so Colby is out.
Deal Two:  Helen vs. Ethan.  Helen gets a Queen, and Ethan a ten.  Ethan is out of the game.
Deal Three:  Hunter vs. Jeff.  After a tie with 2's, Hunter is redealt a 9, while Jeff gets another 2.
Deal Four:  Kathy vs. Tammy.  Kathy gets a Queen, but Tammy only gets a 3.
Deal Five:  Ken vs. Teresa.  Ken gets an Ace, and Teresa a 5.  Ken is out.
Deal Six:  Tom vs. Tina.  Tom, 3, and Tina, King.
Deal Seven:  Helen vs. Alicia.  Helen's 4 is no match for Alicia's 9, and she is eliminated.
Deal Eight:  Hunter vs. Teresa.  Hunter, King, Teresa, Queen.
Deal Nine:  Kathy vs. Tina.  Kathy gets a King, but Tina only a 7.
Deal Ten:  Hunter vs. Alicia.  Hunter deals a 6, but Alicia deals a 9.
Deal Eleven:  Kathy vs. Alicia.  The winner will decide which tribe gets the bunnies.  Kathy deals herself a 9.  Alicia deals a 2.

Sountun wins the bunnies.  Each member of Sountun now has 6 more bunnies than they did before.

	Both tribes must now vote between them who they want out of the game.  Each player that gets any votes will have to compete against the other players with votes from both tribes in an elimination challenge.  For each vote they get, they will be penalized for the challenge.  They may use their bunnies to neutralize the votes counting against them for the challenge.  They may even use more bunnies to gain extra points, but they are advised to save enough for the rest of the game, as they have to earn more bunnies later.

Here are the votes:

Sountun:
Colby     .  Ken
Helen     .  Ken
Hunter    .  Ken
Kathy     .  Ken
Ken        .  Helen
Tom       .  Ken
Pekata:
Alicia      .  Brandon
Brandon  .  Jeff
Brian      .  Jeff
Ethan     .  Brian
Jake       .  Brian
Jeff         .  Brandon
Tammy   .  Brandon
Teresa    .  Brian
Tina        .  Brian

The votes were cast, and the 5 players that had votes against them must compete against each other in a challenge to decide who will be the first person eliminated.  The game is high card.  Ace=1, Jack=11,Q=12,K=13.  For each vote a player received, they will lose one point of their score.  They may, however use their bunnies to buy extra points.  Whoever has the lowest score will be eliminated.

(bunnies)player(votes)
(58)Ken(5)
(6)Helen(1)
(0)Brandon(3)

(0)Brian(4)

Ken used 8 bunnies, and started with +3
Helen used 4 bunnies and started with +3

Now the cards:
Brandon(-3) + 3 = 0
Ken(3) + 6 = 9
Jeff(-2) + 8 = 6
Helen(3) + 2 = 5
Brian(-4) + 2 = -2

The second person eliminated from Pekata:  Brian
