Definitely had to be a last-minute thing. The two challenges tonight were clearly designed as tribal challenges so no way they had planned for a 12-person merge--maybe 11 though.
No?
Well it was one of the challenges featured in the TV Guide season preview. And guess what? It didn't make the pre-merge. My point? These people have more challenges ready than they wind up using. And they can throw challenges together at the last minute, such as the bocce balls, which required only some purple and yellow paint, and tonight's concentration challenge, which didn't even require paint.
So the fact that they had tribal challenges ready for this episode? Fails to prove there was any last minute plan shuffling designed strictly to save Russell H.
i agree with this and if you combine this with jeff's blog where he said "we were afraid we'd wind up with another palau where only stephanie made the merge" i'd say the producers weren't planning on a 12 person merge and threw it in last minute.
