Your Mission Is Recon
Last week the self appointed leader of the Gen X majority alliance, Paul, had a medical incident but he ended up to be fine and Millennials went to tribal council where Michelle was able to sway Hannah into voting to save Figgy, which resulted in the pro-gamer, Mari, going home.
Millennials - Night 7
-They return from Tribal Council and Zeke & Adam know they are on the bottom, and they're not happy about it. Hannah tries to talk to them to plead her case for switching her vote and in essence betraying them but Zeke just doesn't want to talk to her - he plainly tells her that and asks if they can talk later but she just won't stop talking, she won't go away (I wanted to smack her so bad... I would have walked away from her.)
-Hannah doesn't quite understand what she's done I think - she switched her vote because she didn't want to vote in the bottom but she still wants to work with Adam & Zeke, she hopes they'll use her going forward (Uh, honey, they're never going to trust you again.) She doesn't like anyone in the majority alliance.
-Adam is the other player on the bottom but as a lifelong super-fan he doesn't think anyone should count him out, he's got a lot of work to do but he's determined to turn things around.
Gen X - Day 8
-CeCe and David are talking about their bottom positions in the tribe and CeCe has prayed on it, so it's in God's hands for her. David, he's found a hidden idol and he's working to stay there.
-Then we see Paul who would have us believe he feels better than ever today and seeing as he lives in the Florida Keys and he can catch fish easily at home, he's taking the spear out fishing to provide for the tribe...because he thinks he's really good. But he is not. He comes back with nothing but a long list of excuses and the tribe goes hungry. Ken can't believe that people are following this guy - he is nothing but a big windbag - he makes all these claims of greatness but never follows them up. Ken is baffled why he is on the bottom. (Because he has no personality, while Paul is only personality, they'll learn.)
Millennials - Day 8
-Adam goes for tree mail and walks right past the marked hidden immunity idol - but he comes back with a note that they are sending four members of each tribe on a summit/recon mission. They all have to pick rocks for the chance to go - and it's: Taylor, Figgy, Will and Jay (wow, they are all in the power couple alliance, that sucks.)
Summit
-Joining the Millennials from Gen X is: Paul, ginger lawyer Chris, David and CeCe (see they were more evenly distributed, two from the main alliance and two from the outsiders).
-From what they showed us the Millennials seem to be better at this. When directly asked if anyone was pairing off they all denied it. Paul acted like he was performing, telling them he was the lead singer of a rock band and then backhandedly complimenting David on being so open he even screams when bugs land on him (what a jerk.)
-Paul, Chris, Jay and Will go off to swim and David & CeCe let Taylor & Figgy know Paul is trying to be the leader. The girls go off and David makes his move with Taylor, telling him he is willing to throw in with them in a heartbeat if there is a shake up or merge, he's their guy.
Gen X - Day 8
-They return to camp and share a little of what happened. We learn mostly that Ken doesn't like being referred to as Ken Doll - he's gotten that all his life and the last thing he wants to be referred to as is a plastic doll with no penis. (Aw, poor Ken - he also has no sense of humour this guy - I think Ken is not the sharpest tool in the shed.) He does go out fishing and actually catches fish for everyone. Ken does what he says he's going to and continues to campaign to take Paul out. He talks to Jessica who feels bad that Ken is on the outs but she is committed to the six alliance and she is sticking with it to get her to day 36 so she can read her legacy advantage (Oh Yeah! I forgot about that.) So, no luck for Ken there. He's just got a sad sack, why doesn't anybody like me attitude, and that is not going to get him very far in this game but I don't think he has it in him to outwit anyone (sorry to say.)
Millennials - Day 10
-Taylor & Figgy are still going strong and getting cocky with their position in the majority alliance. Taylor, Figgy, Michelle, Jay and Will are talking about who they'll vote off next and they all agree Zeke (not the moustache!) needs to go because he'll kick all their butts in the end.
-Adam is trying to work Michaela and Hannah to get Figgy out next so he can hopefully shift the tribe and get some power - both of them don't like Figgy but they don't want to go against the alliance. They seem to be content to just hang back for now. (Adam seems to have his work cut out for him.)
IMMUNITY/REWARD CHALLENGE
They have to carry heavy bags over and under an obstacle and then over a balance beam. When all the bags and people have gone across the balance beam, they can open the bags and separate the beanbags from the coconuts. Then they must throw the beanbags at a stacked wall of blocks to knock them off the table - once all the blocks have hit the ground the last two tribe members must reassemble the blocks on the table to win Immunity and the Reward of luxury items - blankets, pillows, hammock and two chairs.
Off they go and it's pretty even until we get to the balance beam where Jeff tells them not every person has to carry the heavy bag across but everyone has to cross. So the Millennials quickly have Taylor go three times carrying the bags across and then Will and Adam could just cross easier.
-Gen X had CeCe crossing super slowly, determined that she was going to get across with her bag and I don't know if she didn't hear Jeff or was tuning everyone out, but she put them way behind. Once she finally crossed Chris took up the slack and carried Paul and Lucy's bags across so they could at least start throwing beanbags.
-Ken got Gen X somewhat back in it, clearing the table and David and Sunday did well assembling the puzzle but they were just too far behind to make it up and the Millennials won Immunity.
-When Jeff was about to send them on their way, Jay asked for the Millennials if they could please switch the comfort items for fishing gear... and they all started begging. Jeff said the other tribe would have to agree... and Gen X was like, "uhhhhh... no." (Rightly so.) Michaela even said it to the camera: if they were their parents they would have let us switch but we are already beating them so they don't want to make us any stronger. (Exactly!)
Gen X - Day 10
-The power six are all on board to take out CeCe tonight, it seems like a no-brainer.
-David, CeCe and Ken are going to vote Paul, they're already on the bottom what do they have to lose? (David has retrieved his hidden idol to take to Tribal, just in case.)
-Paul is confirming with Jessica, Lucy and Sunday that they are still staying the course and voting CeCe tonight. Jessica says as long as they [the men] aren't doing a boys thing. And Paul says, (I sh!t you not)"I'm not. You have my word I would tell you if that were the case. I'd say, 'Ladies, you're on your own.'" (WHAT??) Oh yeah, you better believe that did not go over well.
-Jessica right away goes and tells Lucy & Sunday what Paul said to her and lets them know that they are on the bottom of this six alliance - maybe they should vote Paul tonight with the Outsiders. (Oh Yeah!)
TRIBAL COUNCIL
David tells Jeff that meeting with some of the Millennials made him see them more as peers and opened his eyes in some ways. David also seems calmer, not because he's less anxious but he's able to deal with it better the longer he's there.
-CeCe is in no way comfortable, she fills Jeff in on the six alliance and that she, David and Ken are on the bottom.
-Chris discounts that anyone in their six will be thinking they are on the bottom and try to make anything happen with the outsiders, he says it's way too early to be making those assumptions (you should have told Paul to shut his pie-hole.)
-Jeff brings up the challenge and how the Millennials all worked together quickly to get the bags across and Gen X was very clearly a bunch of individuals (I guess maybe a participation ribbon for everyone may foster a better teamwork attitude...) The Gen X'ers agree that they may be too prideful or set in the right or wrong way instead of open to many different ways.
-Jeff does the old person test asking if they text and if they do, do they type out the word 'you' or use just the letter 'u'. They are all full word and then clueless Ken goes on a beauty of language tangent which has Brett shaking his head. (The cop is having none of the hippy model, interesting.) Ken prefers vinyl records too, and they all have a laugh at that.
-Paul says they are not there to go camping, they are there to play the game.
-Ken says he's trying to be an asset and hopes his work ethic will make the difference.
-CeCe gives herself 10% [chance of staying].
-Jessica hopes this vote tonight will help them move forward as a tribe.
Time To Vote:
David votes Paul
Paul votes CeCe
Tallying the votes: (No one played a hidden immunity idol, though the camera did linger on David fidgeting for a bit.)
Votes:
Paul - 1
CeCe - 1
Paul - 2
CeCe - 2
Paul - 3
CeCe - 3
Paul - 4 (that was surprising) and the third person voted out is PAUL! Chris and Brett do not look happy and the ladies have pretty good stone faces. David is the only one who looks just delighted!
So with Paul leaving us, that takes Robert L. and Shelley A. out of the pool.
Next week: Lucy looks like she's now trying to be the dictator of the Gen X tribe (oh man, that's my girl) and in a physical challenge in the water, Gen X seems to have the size advantage and Michaela loses her top.
Paul's final words: Blindsided 150% (uh, that's not possible) - apparently someone played better than I did but I'm still in shock, trying to figure out who voted for me and what happened. (All the girls voted Paul out because he's an idiot). When he was sick it was pretty scary but Survivor has been a great experience for him ranking right up there at the top.
Have a great long weekend everybody!
