Notes

edit
  1. ^ a b Returned to game.
  2. ^ As the two ambassadors for the merged tribe, Bertrand and Jean-Bernard had to cast an extra vote for someone at the first post-merge Tribal Council. They could not come to a decision and drew rocks. Bertrand drew the rock but won immunity, nullifying the extra vote.
