The Merge is the seventh episode of Survivor: The Australian Outback.

Day 21
At Tribal Council, the votes are split by tribal lines. The five ex-Kuchas vote for Colby, while the five ex-Ogakors vote for Jeff. Colby and Jeff each make a statement pleading their case after the votes are read, and the other eight Barramundis revote. Nothing changes—the vote remains tied.

To break the deadlock, Jeff Probst asks Colby and Jeff how many votes they have received at previous Tribal Councils. Colby has none. Jeff has two (from Debb and Kimmi). That dooms Jeff, who brings his torch to be snuffed.

In his final words, Jeff blames Kimmi's big mouth for tipping off Ogakor about his previous votes. He also regrets about giving up on the Immunity Challenge for peanut butter.

Trivia
Keith Famie lasted 10 hours and 17 minutes to win the Immunity Challenge. This set the record for the longest challenge, and would hold the record until the Final Immunity Challenge in "The Ultimate Shock".
When the deadlock tiebreaker began, Jeff Varner claimed that he had known of only one vote, from Debb Eaton during the first Tribal Council. Host Jeff Probst had not revealed Varner's other vote from Kimmi Kappenberg during the fifth Tribal Council.
With Jeff's elimination, this episode marks the first time in the series' history where the female castaways outnumbered the men, 5-4. This would not happen again until Peter Harkey was voted out in "Back to the Beach".
Jeff stepping down for peanut butter would be mentioned by Probst at the Worlds Apart Reunion Show before Jeff was revealed to be competing in Cambodia. Probst asked Jeff if he still eats peanut butter, to which Jeff confessed "No, haven't touched it in 14 years."

Season Summary
The sixteen castaways were divided into two tribes, Kucha and Ogakor. While Ogakor began the game strong by winning the first Immunity and Reward Challenges, Kucha quickly rebounded and won the next Immunity Challenge, reducing Ogakor to five members. Ogakor broke their losing streak by winning the Day 15 Immunity Challenge, sending Kucha back to Tribal Council; after a medical evacuation, Kucha lost their third member, merging the two tribes with five members each. The ten remaining survivors called themselves the Barramundi tribe.

The 5-5 stalemate caused the tribes to be deadlocked the first time they went to Tribal Council, but Jeff from Kucha had past votes, bounding the former Kuchas to extinction. Three of the five former Ogakors, Colby, Keith and Tina, became the deciding factor in most of the votes, even eliminating two of their own when they could afford to before finishing off the remaining Kuchas to make themselves the final three castaways. Colby, who had dominated in the challenges and was known for his chivalry, chose the mother figure Tina over the unpopular Keith, sending the latter to the jury.

At the Final Tribal Council, the jury was torn between Colby's eight challenge wins and Tina's quiet control over the Ogakor Alliance. In the end, with four votes to three, Tina's strategy won her the title of Sole Survivor.

Twists/Changes
Longer Game: The game lasted 42 days, three days longer than the previous season.
Tribe Composition: The sixteen castaways were divided into two tribes of eight.
Merge: The merged tribe was composed of ten members.
Final Tribal Council: Two finalists faced a jury of seven. The jurors individually addressed the finalists.
Tiebreaker: In an event of a tie vote, a revote would take place. If a deadlock occurs, the votes cast against the players in question from previous Tribal Councils will be taken into account. The castaway that had more votes would be eliminated from the game.

Production
Filming was known to have commenced during the Survivor: Borneo reunion show which was hosted by Bryant Gumbel. Gumbel had Jeff Probst via phone patch where Probst revealed that they started filming. Filming took place at Goshen Station in northern Queensland between late October and early December 2000, and aired from January 28 to May 3, 2001...
