New Tribes

CBS teased that Episode 5 will feature a tribe shake-up, and previews of the newest episodes suggest that the three tribes will be transforming into 2 tribes. However, it was unclear if this shift was just for a challenge or until the merge. Indeed, castaways are shown wearing new buffs. A look at the new Tuku tribe shows that Rome and Sol are still together, and they are not sporting their usual red buffs, but instead a blue buff.

The next preview shows the new tribe Gata tribe, in fact, Gata is shown sporting new yellow buffs. Seven castaways are shown competing hard during the newest challenge. Lavo appeared to be done as no castaways wore red buffs.
