...Neal. So, we make it to the merge and this is where things usually pick up because now it's every man (and woman) for themselves. This is where strategy really starts to take root. It's separates the good players from the bad. Everything was going along swell and then.....Pfftt. No Tribal Council because the Island Doctor felt the need to pull Neal from the game because of a huge.....or don't know what to call it. Boil? The one on his back was nasty, but the one on his knee was cut open and oozing. Yuck. I didn't think Neal was much of a player, but he had a Hidden Immunity Idol and that always makes things on Survivor unpredictable, which is a good thing.
