After a tribal merge, the unenviable first task for the new Alinta tribe was to send someone home. After assembling on what had been the Lopevi camp, the ten members of Alinta scrambled as old alliances battled new ones. Having been perpetually on the Yasur chopping block, Rory Freeman, the 35-year-old housing case manager from Des Moines, Iowa, didn't fare much better at Alinta, where the six women banded together to vote him out in a six-women-to-four men decision. Shortly after Tribal Council, Rory noted, "I am the victim of a gender war right now. I may not be a million dollars richer, but I will never forget the Islands of Fire."
