Yul has a chat with Ozzy, asking him why he wants to get rid of Jonathan. Is it because he sees Jonathan as competition after the merge? Ozzy says that it's not the competing; it's the "plotting and scheming." My favorite objection on a show that is genuinely about plotting and scheming. Ozzy says that he doesn't trust Jonathan, because Jonathan asks questions instead of giving up information himself. Hm. I'm not sure I get that, really. Yul says that Jonathan makes everyone in the alliance nervous, and though he doesn't see a lack of trustworthiness himself, the rest of the alliance seems to see it, so he's wondering if he should as well. "It can't help but rub off on me a little bit," he points out.
A weird discussion follows in which JessiFlicka thanks everyone for being honest, even though nobody's telling her anything about what they're going to do. There is plinking piano music playing, but I'm not sure what it's supposed to signify. JessiFlicka says in an interview that she doesn't know who's voting against Jonathan with her. She thinks Ozzy, and she hopes Becky, Candice, and Sundra, and maybe Yul. But she thinks everyone is torn, and that anybody could go.
Tribal council. Jeff brings everyone in. He asks Jonathan about the racially diverse mix, and how there's at least one person left from each of the four ethnic divisions of all humans that were discovered and implemented at the beginning of the season. Jeff says that he doesn't get the sense that the ethnic part has very much to do with anything at this point, and he asks Jonathan if he's surprised. Jonathan says that he isn't -- the game is the game, and that connections were made and merging happened, and what has determined the survival of different bonds is people's personalities, not their ethnicities. Jeff asks Sundra whether there's a tendency to bond with some people and not others, and she says, "Absolutely." She says that you can't calculate or plan who you're going to get along with, and that you can't force it when there's no "natural chemistry." You can pretty much translate that as, "Our motto is: No Weirdos."
