May the Best Generation Win
Last night the 33rd Season of Survivor began on the beautiful islands of Fiji.
20 castaways came in on boats and Jeff tells us that they don't know it yet but they are going to be divided into generations - Millennials vs Gen X.
-Millennials (ranging in age from 18 to 31)
Taylor - Snow Board instructor with the floppy hair says his generation is all about doing what you want to do... he's a Peter Pan type (great) with a great big bug bite on his neck (that looks painful).
Mari - Professional Gamer - she makes her living playing video games on line and Survivor is the game of games and she is going to win.
Zeke - is an anomaly - bright Hawaiian shirt, scraggly 70's pornstache... he thinks Twitter is the worst thing ever invented - he's on it, but thinks it's horrendous.
Gen X (range from 33 to 52)
Chris is the ginger attorney - he says the older generation listens and uses their life experiences - if they get knocked down they know how to get up and fight.
-Sunday is the mom of 4 and youth pastor - she feels like the younger generation is more que sera sera - if it takes 7 years to go through school, who cares, my parents are paying for it.
-David is the TV writer - it took him 15 years as an associate to make it as a writer and he doesn't think any of the younger generation would put that much time into achieving their dreams, they'd just look for a new dream.
Once they reach the beach, Jeff has them all choose their buff bindle with their name on it and when they reveal orange or purple, Jeff tells them that this year it is Millennials vs Gen X - they all seem pretty psyched by that, "May the best generation win!" (Says the 18 year old.)
Jeff says, Gen X born between 1963 and 1982 - someone says "Old dudes",(I think it was the 18yr old) - and Millennials born between 1984 and 1997. This is test to see which philosophy of life is better suited to winning Survivor.
-Will eagerly admits to being the millennial born in 1997 - he's 18 and actually left high school to play this game - the young black girl on the tribe (Michaela) is funny, "Oh, somebody's getting his GED."
-Paul can't really hide that he's the oldest, born in 1963 - he says his generation didn't get a trophy just for participating, they didn't have iPods and apps for everything, they actually had to walk to the store, nothing was delivered by a drone... the Millennials are mostly just laughing at this, except Michaela who doesn't seem amused.
-Cece was nodding along to everything Paul said and takes it a step further saying they [the Millennials] don't work for anything, everything is handed to them - oh, Michaela is having none of that...
-Adam, over on Millennials, doesn't agree with the Gen X's opinion of them - he's a smart-alec calling Jeff "Probst" and he says - wait until they win the first immunity challenge and see who has to work to win. (Oh, and they are cocky as well.)
First challenge is forage through the trees to pick up as much of the items scattered around (fruit, nuts, fish, etc.) in two minutes - and there are two stations where they will only be allowed to pick one item from a choice of two - either fishing gear or live chickens at one, and pots and pans or a hammer at the other.
-Off they went - with only 2 minutes it was a mad scramble to get as much of the stuff as they could to their mats. At one location someone (I think it was my girl Lucy) totally missed a clue when grabbing fruit - Jessica, the district attorney, didn't miss it though, she scooped that clue up and shoved it in her back pocket to read later (SMRT that one.)
-Gen X chose the pots and utensils over the hammer as did the Millennials but the Millennials chose the chickens while the Gen X chose the fishing gear.
-When Jeff asked the Millennials why the chickens (to bring me joy Jeff, I love a good chasing the chickens scene) they say it was because the chickens lay eggs...(uh huh, and it's food you don't have to work for.) Gen X chose the fishing gear looking at the long term, to be able to catch food for 39 days.
Before Jeff sends them off to their beaches he tells them that they are in the Cyclone season in Fiji and it's been rough - they have to get to camp and start building a shelter quickly, this is no joke. (But I don't think anyone was really listening judging by what came next.)
Millennials - Vanua - Day 1
They do a bit of getting to know you - Figgy is the pretty bartender chick that likes to flirt with the boys. Mari is the professional gamer that thinks their eclectic tribe sees things in a different way and that is their advantage. Michelle is a missionary - bible translator - recruiter with the long hippy hair she is accepted by the pretty people quickly. The Bro Taylor with the floppy hair finds a kindred spirit in Jay "who has gnarly hair. I can tell he's a bro." (Yeah, I almost hurt myself rolling my eyes at this guy.) Taylor also gets along with Figs cause she's cute... yup, the young pretty people are drawn together like magnets already.
-Zeke (Hawaiian shirt/moustache) thinks he's an 80 year old man at heart - he's on a tribe with children, none of these kids have ever had a real job, they can't do anything.
-But they are working on building a shelter - sort of - there is bamboo being put together in a platform-y kind of way.
Gen - X - Takali - Day 1
There are hugs all around and then Paul wants to make a speech about how he was happy to learn that they were divided by generation, he thinks they have better odds now, with people who know how to build... and then Model Ken jumps in to cut him off, saying our parents taught us humidity (I think he meant humility but it sure sounded like humidity) but he cautions that they don't underestimate the younger generation because while [the Gen-Xers] were working with their hands, the Millennials were using their minds... (whoa dude, really) - Ken goes on to say that he's been living off the grid in the jungle of Maui (really? How lost can you get on Maui) but he's familiar with setting up camp, how to get food, etc and he wants to help with that. Okay, trial attorney Chris gets them moving to start on the shelter and they are looking to Zen-master Ken for guidance.
-District Attorney Jessica with the buggy eyes - takes this opportunity "while gathering bamboo" to hide from the group and read the clue she found - it says it's the Legacy Advantage - if she is in possession of it on day 36, she will receive an advantage in the game. If she is voted off before day 36, she must will the advantage to another player. (Oooh, that's new... interesting.)
Millennials - Day 1
So, pretty people - Figgy, Jay, Taylor and Michelle already seem to be bonding. Michelle is also the bible girl so Hannah who is awkward also makes friendly overtures to her... lots of feeling each other out still.
Gen X - Day 1
Rachel is annoyingly passive-aggressive with Paul while trying to build the shelter and her confrontive (is that a word, Sunday used it but I don't think it is) attitude does not go unnoticed by the group. Chris says to policeman Bret that they should just get to building this shelter, with TV writer David there, who fully admits to them that he has never built anything and he's all high strung like a Chihuahua... this guy is not doing himself any favours. David tells the camera he doesn't like sleeping outside, he doesn't like bugs, he doesn't like sun, he doesn't like the ocean...(yeah, he was built for this, hahaha.) but he loves the gameplay and that's why he's there.
-David then just starts letting paranoia take over, he's telling Chris and Bret he thinks Paul and Ken are looking for an idol... he's just trying too hard and it's annoying to the guys that are just trying to get the shelter built.
Millennials - Day 1
Oh, sugar cane break... the wind has picked up enough to knock their tribe flag over - and then they take a swim (did you not hear... cyclone season...) but then it starts to get dark and they realize, huh, we still don't have our shelter built and here comes the storm... Yeah, the platform collapses under their weight and they end up huddled under palm fronds freezing and soaking wet. Welcome to Survivor!
Gen X - Day 2
They didn't fare much better through the miserable night - they are all soaked and freezing as well. They are trying to get back to work on their shelter in the rain the next morning when they get tree mail with a tarp from Jeff - the note says the weather is not expected to get better and he knows they haven't had time to build their shelters but they will have to return the tarps when things get better 'or else'. They are thankful for the tarp but it's also worrying because nothing like that has ever happened in Survivor that they can remember.
Millennials - Day 2
Michaela says you know it's bad when Jeff gives you a tarp. They get to work trying to rebuild their shelter in the pouring rain, Zeke says he doesn't know how things could get much worse than they were last night... when we see Jeff coming in to their beach on a boat (Uh oh.)
For the first time in Survivor history - the cyclone has been upgraded to the point where it is unsafe and they are going to evacuate! The youngins, and their chickens go first. By the time Jeff gets to the Gen X evacuation, it's scary how windy and treacherous the surf has become. The time lapse footage of the lightening in the clouds was spectacular, but I would not have wanted to be camping out in that, that's for sure.
Gen X - Day 3
They get back to camp and their shelter has completely collapsed, a tree came down on it in the storm. Crap! They jump right in and get moving on the shelter, again.
-David knows that he's not physically an asset to the tribe, he's also neurotic, worries about death every day (and he's telling them this) but he's decided he's going to turn the game around for himself by getting out there and looking for an immunity idol - right out in the open, where everyone can see him and knows what he's doing...(David is not so SMRT.) He's now put a target on his back.
Millennials - Day 3
They get back to camp and Zeke takes control, getting everyone organized to rebuild the shelter. He's from Brooklyn, what does he know... but he got them together and he also made fire! Way to go Pornstache! He never thought in a million years that he would be the one to make fire without flint, he's a changed man out there, it's already changed him in a positive way.
-Jay, Taylor and Figgy are the Tri-force, dude! (Ugh!)
-Hannah wants to squash the pretty bully Millennials from taking over and she approaches Mari and talks about wanting the geeks to band together as well. Mari is talking to everyone else, Adam, Michaela, Hannah - that the four pretty people are isolating themselves and Figgy is running the show and that is dangerous. While they have the numbers, they have to strike to split up the pretty four.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
-First, both tribes returned their tarps and avoided any Jeff berating and penalty.
The challenge was pretty cool - they had to run an obstacle course then finish a puzzle at the end but this was different because they had the option to choose to make the obstacles easier/take a short cut and add pieces to the puzzle - or run the course as is and do a smaller, simpler puzzle.
-The Gen X tribe decided to take both short cuts, increasing the final puzzle from 50 to 70pcs and the Millennials only used one short cut (making the balance beam just a raised platform) and they only had to do a 60pc puzzle.
-At the end, Rachel and David over-sold their puzzle abilities and lost a lot of time for Gen X - allowing the Millennials to win the first Immunity challenge.
Gen X - Day 4
Police Officer Bret was shocked they didn't win against the Millennials today - he blames Rachel for screwing up the puzzle. He talks to Sunday and Jessica who agree that they are good with voting out Rachel. David, meanwhile, is being left out of discussion so he's convinced they are all against him and he's going home. Jessica is worried he has an idol and Bret is sure that David has an idol, but David swears he doesn't and to prove he can be trusted he says he will vote however they tell him to. The rest of the group decides they are going to split their votes to ensure if an idol is played that one of the people they vote for will be going home and it sounds like it's Rachel and David on the block... Bret, Chris, Jessica, Sunday, Paul, and Lucy are in on this plan - leaving Rachel, CeCe, David and Ken on the outside.
-Rachel and CeCe look pretty chummy and they also both look very worried. Rachel is trying to find out what's going on but they are stonewalling her... yeah, she's in trouble. (And honestly, she's my pick to go - confrontational and annoying does not make for happy camp-life.)
TRIBAL COUNCIL
-Jessica's eyes look horrible - during the evacuation, the sand was being flung around in the wind and scratched one of her eyes which got infected and has now spread to her other eye - they look awful! (Hopefully that won't take her out of the game, I like Jessica so far.)
-Jeff calls on David and he says, "Oh Crap." Jeff asks why he said that and everyone, almost in unison, says, "Because he's afraid of everything." Ha! David says he's his own worst enemy out there, he's grateful for the experience and he really doesn't want to go home.
-Of the ten of them Jeff asks who has felt they could be going home - and everyone raises their hands except Lucy (that's my girl with the serious RBF [resting bitch face] - I don't think we've heard her say anything yet... I don't know if that's good or bad.)
-Rachel has felt the paranoia today with everyone pairing off and not talking to her - why she thinks it could be her - because she's been very up front and says what's on her mind... she doesn't mean to be mean or hurt people's feelings (but it sounds like she knows she has) -she apologizes to everyone if "I've made you feel a certain way." (what? ... Ugh, b-bye)
-Jeff asks if they think there are idols, if there has been talk - Jessica says there has been talk and that's why things go back to David... "Ain't it great?" he says - also he wants to prove he can be trusted and knows this is a test.
Time to Vote:
They didn't show how anyone voted.
Tallying the Votes:
No one plays a hidden immunity idol (though Bret must not be a very good cop because he's convinced David had an idol and is disappointed when he doesn't play the idol he doesn't have.)
Votes:
Dave - 1
Rachel - 1
Sunday - 1
CeCe - 1
Rachel - 2
CeCe - 2 (really, when did her name even come up?)
Rachel - 3
CeCe - 3
Rachel - 4 & 5 - RACHEL is the first person voted out of Survivor Millennials vs Gen X - she doesn't say a word or look at her tribe again.
So, with Rachel leaving first, Andria S. and Kim B. get their pool money back (well at least there is that.)
Next week: Romance is blooming between Taylor and Figgy - Jay cautions Tay that power couples don't last but will the Bro listen? And on Gen X, someone may be having a heart attack... is it Paul? David says this may be a good thing for him (oof.)
Rachel's final thoughts: Survivor is one of the most difficult and brutal social games on the planet, however I am grateful for the experience and I'm hoping to utilize it to grow as a person. (Wow, that was a very pageant-y and buzz wordy speech - Hasta La Vista, Rachel.)
It was an auspicious beginning, I have high hopes for this season and should probably apologize to any Millennials reading the recap since I am of Gen X and pretty predisposed to agree with the sentiments expressed this episode - but I'll try to stay open minded :)
Have a great almost weekend,
