The story

Alec Merlino, a bartender, was a young, athletic Goliath in the 'brochacho' trio and a 'Strike Force' member who began flipping to the Davids after the merge, helping vote out his own ally Dan.

That flip made him expendable, and after an immunity loss he was voted out 9-1 at tenth as the first juror — cut once he had outlived his usefulness.
