An epic episode of Survivor South Africa: Immunity Island awaits viewers on Thursday on M-Net (DStv 101) at 19:30.
The two tribes merge in a supersized episode that is even longer than the already stretched previous ones and ends in a jaw-dropping tribal council that is one for the record books.
Channel24 watched tonight's episode before the TV broadcast, which promises a spectacular tribal council "fight club" and multiple twists.
Asked about the longer than usual broadcast, M-Net told us that they "made the decision early in the post-production process to increase the duration of the merge episode".
"With the formation of the merged tribe, a little more time was required in order to unpack and do justice to the dense stories and new dynamics that will culminate in the first merged tribal council."
Tonight's Survivor SA: Immunity Island will be marked by chaotic negotiations, unabashed Idol hunting and plenty of knife sharpening in a dramatic episode where Vuna and Zamba become one.
"For some, the merge offers salvation - but for others, it could be a torch-snuffing moment," said M-Net.
A power struggle between the factions makes victory in this season's first Individual Immunity Challenge key. Meanwhile, some castaways struggle to find the line between confidence and overconfidence when dealing with those they see as being below them on the pecking order.
Between Anela's "No Vote" and Tribal Insurance, Anesu's Tribal Pass and Tyson's Hidden Immunity Idol that are all in play, an epic showdown is looming, making it impossible to even try to guess who is going to become the 9th castaway getting voted out of the game and become the first member of this season's jury.
