I guess that tracks. Thanks so much to everyone for reading this nonsense (all 8,400 words of it). He felt that "the season went from not bad to pretty good to legitimately great over the course of a few months," which he attributes to David's fake idol, calling it "the best fake immunity idol of all time" and "[how hard] the entire cast was playing." David considered playing his idol on Jessica to secure her as an ally, which would put his alliance with CeCe and Ken in the majority. Survivor Millennials vs Gen X 2016 Live Recap: Finale - The Winner Is "[38][39] Daniel Fienerg of The Hollywood Reporter initially had mixed feeling towards the season, calling it a "dud," but became much more positive towards the season later, stating that the season "had one of the strongest home stretches of any Survivor season in recent memory, if not any Survivor season ever. More epic than the slow clap from Rudy! He talks about how it has been a personal dream since he was 9 years old to be on the show, how he applied with his mom for Blood vs. Water, how she now has stage 4 lung cancer, and how he felt like he was playing with her out there on the island. It is only a matter of when. Now, you regular readers know I have no heart whatsoever and feel that outside forces what you do for a living, how much money you have, whether you are single or supporting a family should not be factored in when deciding on whom should win the million-dollar prize. Ken says he built his game on loyalty which means he undercut his own argument with his last vote on David while Adam says he played the best game of the three of them, pure and simple. Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X / Characters - TV Tropes You can just tell they respect strong gameplay more than the Kah Rng jury, whose egos couldnt handle getting bested strategically by Aubry.

The bizarre, random pink circle you put on the outside of the coconut to make it look like a coconut wearing one of Zekes shirts? No, Probst didnt talk to everyone, but I never feel like thats necessary anyway. But the question remains: Did he plan to unveil it at the end, or was it a last-minute change of mind? After returning to camp, Figgy and her allies decided to target Zeke while Adam tried convincing Michaela to rejoin her initial alliance and split up Figgy and Taylor, which she considered. Even a crusty old curmudgeon like me cant help but want to see Adam have a somewhat happy ending. 63 mins. Naturally, Frank Stallone also managed to weasel his way onto the soundtrack with a choice cut titled Bad Nite. If youve ever spent an afternoon replaying the music video for Far From Over on a continuous loop, you understand why the inclusion of any Frank Stallone track is such cause for celebration.). I gotta say, when I first saw the setup for the last challenge, I was underwhelmed. Okay, first off, Im pretty sure David is positively thrilled to be compared to the most despised terrorist ever, but ignoring that for a minute, is Abottabad really known for its coffee? I probably would have wussed out. Or can force Jeff Probst to do a dramatic reading of the entire script of Dude, Wheres my Car? That is about as emotional and memorable as it gets and really raised this entire reunion show above and beyond what we are normally used to. The vote should go to who played the best game. Ken is more aggressive while Hannah plays defensive (kind of like how she has played the entire game, actually) hoping Ken will go too quick and it will fall. But OH, MY GOD, Adams story about being a massive Survivor fan with his mother, applying for the Blood vs. Water season together, and then going to play in her honor while she suffered from stage 4 lung cancer back home how can you not want to honor that? Now, granted, at this point last season I thought an Aubry win was pretty much decided, and we all saw how that turned out. Why did he not seize upon the perfect opportunity to in the parlance of Jeff Probst dig deep into jurors hearts? Of course, the brilliance of Davids fake idol was more than just paint and beads and shells. Ultimately, the majority alliance stayed loyal while the minority alliance turned on each other out of fear; Jay chose not to play his idol and Taylor was voted out. That is a total collectors item you just ruined. Ken defeated Taylor to win immunity. Brets money is on Jeff, and so is mine. The first immunity challenge is a huge build the length of a football field, as players must race through obstacles while collecting a bag of tiles, then use the numbers inside to solve a combination lock that will release a key. Ken played the legacy advantage, therefore one vote against him was not counted. Brilliant. Also interesting is we did not get any sort of last-second twist reward, like Kah Rngs kicking a member off the jury. Its not as if Jay laid back and didnt scramble or try to stay because he thought he was safe. The only way I have any kind of chance whatsoever is if you go home. Im working with complete morons, Bret complains. Here, we got neither. Jay's vote against Ken was negated, while everyone else came together to send Jay out of the game. Six people were still in the running at the start of the emotional episode: David. This is where the finalists face the jury, who will have a very important decision to make.

Survivor returns with Season 34, "Game-Changers," in March. If Ken doesnt flip, then David probably wins that fire-making tiebreaker and wins the game. The problem is, Adams narrative is just better. Its like the show wanted to give us the illusion of fairness, yet some off-camera producer pulled a Jedi mind trick on Jay by waving his hand in front of his face and saying You do not want to cover your numbers. And sure enough, David, Hannah, Bret, and Adam all run over to copy exactly what Jay has already done. Theres a lot of weird stuff going on. I mean, David and Ken were not going to vote against David at this point, so its not like Hannah had to flip a bunch of votes or anything she just sided with the two people were never going to vote David out anyway. Im amazed you think he had the gumption to make that vote because no one convinced me to make that vote against David, Ken says. Back at the beach, Bret covers for Adam so the latter can go search for a hidden immunity idol (which he finds). Look, theres Michaela with no top! That last part is important, and because Probst later reminds us about the 30-minute rule, it is clear nobody will make it to 13. No way any player can get mad at that. At Tribal Council, Jay played the fake idol while Ken played the legacy advantage on himself. Man, there has been so much to like about Jay this season. Jay won the challenge and chose to share his reward with Will, Sunday, Adam and their loved ones. Adam told his tribemates that he would not use his reward stealing advantage to deprive the challenge winner of time with their loved one. Nothing is more epic than the slow clap from Hoosiers. Hannah uses the opportunity to take credit for getting rid of Sunday, punctuating it with the comment that and Adam, as usual, went along with what my move was. Thats actually Hannahs best strategy at this point and smart of her to point out. Hannah, David, and Zeke were all good players. Everyone has an agenda. But thats going to do it for me. (Hey, if Jeff Probst can keep finding new Survivor firsts after 33 seasons, I can keep finding levels. You guys can chase me, but you got to be quicker than that.

At camp, she learned that she had found a "legacy advantage," which would give her an unspecified advantage in the game on Day 36; if she were voted out before then, she would privately will it to someone else following her elimination. I am right now giving that entire challenge the most dramatic slow clap in history, but only in my mind, because to actually stand up and slow clap at my television would be downright weird and probably scare my cats. In fact, I think David might just be the only person in the entire world I could beat at arm wrestling because my arms are roughly the same width as toothpicks. At Ikabula, GenX-ers Bret and Sunday struggled to integrate with the Millennial majority, and Michaela made fire for the tribe. You could see the entire cast drying their eyes behind him, and with good reason. That is exactly what has made this season of Survivor so unique: people openly gaming against each other without an abundance of hurt feelings. A million times yes! Now you have to wonder: What if there is a Legacy Advantage that can be passed from one player to another in the game? David defeated Zeke to win immunity. Gen X (33) Survivor: Millennials vs Gen X saw different generations of people battle against each other. Thats right, take a seat, old man! Apparently, the class worked because Hannah made it all the way to day 39 and final Tribal Council on Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X, where she and Ken McNickle watched Adam Klein walk.

The final three. Now, as a juror, it would be up to me whether I let that influence my decision in terms of who actually played the best game but as a player, you use every tool in your toolbox, and if he saw that information as something that would help him, then he should use it. Air date: Nov 2, 2016. Instead of getting up there with a benign or useless question especially when youve already made up your mind why not try to talk some sense into people, especially if you sense it is a group suffering from BJS (Bitter Jury Syndrome)? In fact, all three finalists are doing pretty well so far. (Tough, but fair.) After the storm was upgraded to a cyclone, both tribes were evacuated to a safe location for the night, and returned to their camps the following morning. NEXT: Jay gives away his answerand possibly his spot in the game. Slow down there, Che Guevara!

(Doesnt matter, anyone who worries about whether her armpit hair is hanging out during an interview is okay by me.) Does that mean you have to find a way to keep early booted players on your good side in the hopes of having it willed to you? Then the players are supposed to cover their numbers that will come into play later and go under a net, over a wall, and use the key to unlock puzzle pieces before racing to solve a bat puzzle. What do you do here? Lets just all bow down to the Survivor gods for a moment and thank them for that insanely dramatic finish to the most important challenge of the season. I say somewhat only because Adams mother died shortly after he returned home, and I am sure he would rather have his mother than the title of Sole Survivor. So if Adam was deliberately waiting until the very end to pull on those emotional heartstrings, it was a gamble. It just runs the risk of pissing off too many people people you then could be asking to vote for you to win a million dollars. He was that close. David is busy admiring Jays balls or balls of steel, as he calls them while Bret is pissed off Hannah allowed the biggest threat in David to stay in the game, comparing it to when the Navy SEALs stormed into Osama bin Ladens compound and how it would have been like them saying Lets go grab some coffee. Honestly, that wave hits me and I am probably dead, while Probst is all, Whatevs, Mother Nature. During Tribal Council, Jay and Michelle quietly tried convincing Hannah to change her vote to Mari; after much noticeable hesitation, Hannah joined the new majority and cast her vote against Mari, who became the second person voted out, leaving Adam and Zeke in shock. No. I Will Destroy You. But does he go off bitter and ashamed? But what a way to honor her and bring the experience he shared with her watching Survivor full circle by going on the show and winning the whole kit and caboodle. I mean, maybe it is. After Zeke's elimination, Will was determined to keep changing allegiances to eliminate threats and prove he deserved to win the game. Forget for a second David does not end up making the finals and Hannah does. He really is in a no-win situation here literally. And he played hard. This is exactly the attitude you want from every Survivor contestant. Sometimes it got him in a bit of trouble when he overplayed his hand, but there has never been any doubt Adam came to play and play hard. David, you are my no. But not too bad, obviously, seeing as I am about to do the exact same thing here. After David makes the best fake immunity idol of all time and Jay picks up the cheddar from the mousetrap, we check in with Ken to finally learn the contents of the Legacy Advantage Jessica gave him.

Back at camp, both alliances tried courting Hannah and Zeke, though neither told Jay about their plans in order to goad him into playing his hidden immunity idol. Even Ken, the man he had a final 3 deal with, ended up voting him out at final four because he was afraid of how good David was. Continue to underestimate me, says Ken, but the problem is if everyone is underestimating him, then he aint winning the million dollars. They tie at six. With only the four remaining, Hannah and Ken decided to join Adam to eliminate David. Survivor: Millennials vs Gen X - Meet David Im not sure it was really necessary here, with Chris using his time to advocate for Adam, but what is funny is watching him credit Adam for convincing Ken to finally flip on David. 15.

Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X star Sunday Burquest dies of cancer First off, lets be clear about one thing: As glorious as Davids idol was, it did not appear to make one ounce of difference in the game. Perception equals reality in this game and if the jury perceives Adam flipped Ken, then Ken and Hannah are just going to have to file that under T for Tough Noogies.

Back at camp, the GenX majority of CeCe, Chris and David chose to target Michelle over Zeke, but Chris decided to join the Millennials to target CeCe instead for her poor challenge performances.

Per the rules, the non-tied castaways were given a few minutes to come to a unanimous decision as to whom to eliminate between Hannah and Zeke, but they were unable to do so. Which generation reigned supreme during Season 33 of Survivor? During the scramble, Jessica from the GenX tribe found an envelope.
