Who's the Sucker at the Table?
Last week the ladies in his alliance took out Paul from the Gen X tribe which ruffled the feathers of the other men they blindsided with that vote.
Gen X - Night 10
Chris & Brett have their knickers in a twist, well mostly Chris, he refuses to talk to Jessica and the rest of them at first but when they continue to talk without him, he has no choice. Jessica tells them that Paul had told her if the guys wanted to do an all guy thing the girls were on their own, and both of the guys immediately said that he never promised them anything. (That's not the point, he told her she was on the bottom.)
Gen X - Day 11
The next morning, Lucy sees her opportunity and approaches Chris & Brett about voting off Jessica, making it sound like Jessica was power hunger and had to get rid of Paul... when it's Lucy who is proving to be quite the opportunist. Chris and Brett eat it up with a spoon - Jessica is now the enemy and they are totally on board to take her out. Lucy also tells them that David & Ken are with her (since when?)
Millennials - Day 11
The kids are hungry and decide that they are going to go hunting for a pig... but they see a goat, oooh!
-Adam, left behind, decides to do some hunting of his own, for a hidden immunity idol. He finds a clue to the idol hidden in a tree and he's in tears, he's so excited... until he realizes he's got to keep looking for it - but he's one step closer.
Reward Challenge
-Millennials were genuinely surprised to see that Paul was gone.
This challenge, two people from each tribe will head out in the shallows of the water to retrieve a life ring and then bring it back to their flagpole while the other tribe tries attempts to stop them anyway they can. First tribe to get a hand on their flagpole with the ring gets a point, first tribe to three points wins Reward of: FOOD - steak, sausages, veggies, spices, grill pan - it's huge.
Millennials sits out Michelle.
First round: Chris & David vs Jay & Adam - Chris is a huge dude, Jay slowed him down enough for Adam to get the ring but then Chris ties up both Jay & Adam long enough for David to get the first point for Gen X.
Second round: Sunday & CeCe vs Figgy & Michaela - Gen X ladies hang back and let the younger girls retrieve the ring, and it proves Michaela is the force to be reckoned with - she gets the first point for Millennials.
Third round: Brett & Ken vs Taylor & Will - there was a lot of back and forth with these guys - but it was Gen X getting a second point.
Next round: Jessica & Lucy vs Michaela & Hannah - Jessica gets the ring and Lucy tries to hold off the younger girls but Michaela will not be denied, she slips her top off to get away from Lucy and ends up battling the tying point to Millennials.
Game Point: David & Chris vs Jay & Zeke - Jay gets the ring, Zeke is keeping Chris occupied, David gets in there to hold up Jay from the flag pole and Chris gets in there and by sheer size and power he drags everything over to the Gen X pole to take the challenge and the Reward!
Millennials - Day 11
Back at camp they are going over the challenge and Michaela really is one of my favourites for the greatest lines - she tells the camera she just likes to win. You can either lose or you let your top get ripped off and win - so I was like, "they're about to see some ta-ta's today." (LOL I love it.)
-Adam is off looking for the hidden idol and he finds it... almost gets busted by Hannah, but I don't think she saw him with it. Adam also opens up to the camera that his mother was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer 7 months ago and it was really tough for him to make the decision to go out there. More understandable tears from Adam - she's an ultimate superfan and he hopes he can bring her some joy by being out there (and winning!)
Gen X - Day 12
Lucy talks to David & Ken and tells them they have nothing to worry about, they want to take Jessica out - and she[Lucy] better not see those two [Ken & David] talking to anybody else or she's going to get upset. She points at Ken, are you comfortable with this? Are you going to go tell her? (Oh yeah, she read his face right, he is not happy to be dictated to - again.) He says he's going along and she even threatens him, if he doesn't do what she says, everyone's going to be against him (wow, really lady? Lucy is my person in the pool and I liked it better when we didn't see her at all - what was she thinking?)
-Ken is not happy - she gave him a list of rules and regulations, they went from one dictator to another and it doesn't fly with him.
Immunity Challenge
This is a new one. One on one tribe members will race through a series of obstacles to a chair which is kind of like a window washing rig - once on the chair the rest of the tribe will pull the ropes, raise the chair and the person on it will have to retrieve 10 numbered bags from the rows of bags on the vertical apparatus (I don't know how else to describe it). Then the next person goes. Once they have all 30 bags, they have to take the letter tiles out of the bags and arrange them to spell out the sentence: Somebody loses their flame tonight.
-Millennials sit Adam.
-I could do a play by play of retrieving the bags but the real story is the word puzzle here - it takes a long time to try and work out the sentence because there were so many letters and so many possible combinations. Gen X had David working mostly on the puzzle, he's the writer and the word guy - but the Millennials proved to work better together again and with Michelle, Figgy & Michaela working the letters (with some help from Zeke) they got the sentence - Millennials won Immunity (again.)
Gen X - Day 12
-Chris is counting on Lucy to make this blindside of Jessica happen. Lucy tells Chris that she has David & Ken on board - Lucy tells the camera that she is a Tiger Mom, her husband and kids dislike her a lot of times because she's making all the decisions (oh dang it, that's not good).
-David asks Ken what he's thinking and Ken tells him that when they were scolded by Lucy this morning he was done. Ken thinks what needs to happen is he, David, CeCe and Jess vote for Lucy and Jess needs to bring in Sunday. David thinks it sounds like a really great idea.
-David does a drive by with CeCe, they can't be seen talking but it's Lucy, Lucy, Lucy... CeCe got it (huh, that was easy. Is she even playing this game?)
-Ken goes and tells Jessica, starting with "Sweety, Lucy wants you out." (Sweety would have gotten my back up, but Ken is being so sincere...) Ken tells her she has to talk to Sunday to vote Lucy or she's done and Jessica is just stunned. Jess doesn't trust what he's telling her and runs right over to Lucy to find out if she did approach Ken to take her out (for a lawyer, Jessica doesn't seem so SMRT... not trusting anyone at their word though, yeah, that makes sense.)
-Lucy acts surprised to Jess but then vents to David and Chris that Ken told Jess, "That was the stupidest move in the world." David tells her that he's not shocked but Lucy's not listening.
-David then runs and tells Ken that Jessica told Lucy what he said (oh yeah, it was high school for sure) and Ken is shocked that Jessica didn't trust him. He thought he had a genuine connection with her and now he feels betrayed.
-Lucy asked Ken who he was voting for and they get into it, he tells her she came at him and told him what he could and could not do and that doesn't fly. She tells the camera looking back she could have been nicer but he reacted all emotionally like a girl (oh man, she's horrible) why get all emotional about voting someone out, at least he's in the game still, right?
-Now no one knows what's going on now - Lucy asks David if he's voting for her and he says no, he's voting Jessica - but then David tells the camera if he votes Jessica he's just right back on the bottom - his other option is to play his hidden immunity idol FOR Jessica and really upset the apple cart. He's not planning on playing the idol but he's going to take it for security... he has a lot to think about.
Tribal Council
Jeff asks if last tribal helped bring the tribe together and David says while he still thinks it was the right move, it definitely did not bring the tribe together.
-Chris says that he and Brett were upset with the rest of the alliance and it divided them.
-Lucy said it is chaos because nobody knows who is voting for who. She thought she was okay until Jessica told her that Ken was interested in voting her out.
-Ken admits he did talk about voting out Lucy because instead of asking or discussing she just tells him you're going to do this... and Lucy jumps in, "Yeah, but that's just how I talk." She says she can be blunt but most of the time when she talks to men she thinks they can handle bluntness (is she mansplaining herself?) She says if she was him she'd realize that she was trying to help him move forward in the game - and Jeff calls her on it, "You realize you're kind of doing it again?" (No, she doesn't get it at all. She just totally lacks the finesse to win this game.)
-Ken says he's been wavering all day because someone he was loyal with wasn't loyal to him... and huge eyed Jessica makes it obvious he was talking about her.
-She asks Ken if she's supposed to trust 100% what he tells her other people are saying about her and he just looks her directly in the huge bug-eyes and simply says, "yeah." That shut her right down. No getting around how earnest that guy is, I don't think they know how to take Ken.
-David says, "It's a live tribal." meaning it's not set in stone. Everything is still fluid here.
-Jess says she may be second guessing her vote tonight. Chris says he knows how he's voting, he's not second guessing anything but who knows what everyone else is doing, "Who's the sucker at the table?"
Time to Vote:
Chris votes for Jess (saying it's for Paul - ugh!)
They didn't show how anyone else voted - though Lucy looks like someone is holding a turd under her nose.
Anyone want to play a hidden immunity idol? And David stand up (WHAT?) he says he's really enjoyed playing with everybody but the part that may upset some people, "I'm playing this for Jessica." (And her eyes bugged out even more, I was waiting for them to just fall right out of her head, holy pop-eyes.)
Reading the votes:
Jessica - 1 - does not count
Jessica - 2, 3, 4, 5
CeCe - 1 (huh?)
Lucy - 1 - one vote left... and its LUCY voted out! (Wow, that was quite the move by David, we'll see if he and Jessica survive another vote after that move.)
With Lucy leaving, that takes Katie L., and Coleen T. out of the pool. (Sigh, and again, I will not be winning the pool this season, but I can't say I'm sorry to see Lucy go.)
Next week: The Gen X idol is back up for grabs and everyone is out looking for it unabashedly... and Jeff tells them to drop their buffs for a surprise switch... Which threatens to tear two lovers apart (Oh no, will Figgy and Taylor's love survive?) I can tell you this is good news for David and Jessica.
Lucy's final thoughts: She almost controlled the whole situation and it almost worked - she just went full force and probably should have went a little slower (ya think?)
Jessica voted CeCe. David & CeCe voted for Lucy and everyone else (including Ken) voted for Jessica. So after all of that, Ken did what Lucy told him to do in the first place, but on his own terms I guess after Jessica betrayed his trust (sigh, he's lucky they need him for challenges or Ken would be gone soon too.)
Have a great coming weekend everyone,
