‘IDW’ To Merge Both ‘GhostBusters’ Movie Teams

ghostbusters-101-1

Remember when Paul Feig’s all-Female GhostBusters was reported as a sequel to the well-beloved 80’s original? Well thanks to IDW that is soon to become reality … sort of.

In an announcement via comicbook.com, comic book publisher IDW revealed plans to bring both GhostBusters movie teams together – for the first time – with ‘GhostBusters 101‘. The comic book series will see the original ghost-busting team of Venkman, Zeddemore, Stantz and Spengler cross the inter-dimensional stream with Holtzmann, Tolan, Yates and Gilbert, as both teams find their pocket universe inexplicably merged with the other.

In a brief description of the upcoming adventure released alongside IDW’s announcement. It gives an insight into what the original 80’s team has been up too since GhostBusters 2, with Venkman & Co going back to the classroom and teaching “the next generation of ‘busters” how to fight the paranormal:

“Shortly after the classic Ghostbusters decide to get back to their roots of teaching the next generation of ‘busters, an inter-dimensional mishap merges together their universe with that of the new crew of paranormal police. Now, with the fate of two dimensions in the balance (maybe more?!), can these distinctly different teams come together to repel the greatest supernatural challenge any of them have ever faced? They’re going to have to find a way if there’s any hope for survival. Prepare for mass hysteria of the dogs and cats living together variety, because this time everyone… ANSWERS THE CALL!”

IDW’s newest venture seems in line with Sony’s initiative to create a wider GhostBusters Universe which first came into the public consciousness back in early 2015 with the announcement of ‘Ghost Corps‘. A collective of creative minds – including the original films director Ivan Reitman and star Dan Aykroyd – who are charged with overseeing the franchise expansion into new Films, TV and other merchandising opportunities.

On the new comic book series, Reitman acknowledged that he has “always wanted to meld the two worlds.” Expressing that “it would be great fun to see them all together for the first time and I think it’s important for the future that we bring it back into a single universe.

With Feigs GhostBusters failing to set box offices alight, it has been believed that a sequel to the Melissa McCarthyKristen WiigKate McKinnon and Leslie Jones reboot wouldn’t happen. With GhostBusters 101 going forward with using the likeness, names and characters from the 2016 flop, this all but confirms that fans of the new film will have to make do with the comic book coming in March next year as well as the animated TV series that is reportedly in the works.

The ‘Survivor: Millennials Vs Gen-X’ Review – “I’m Going For A Million Bucks”

After 14 weeks of blindsides, rock-draws and excellent gameplay, Survivor: Millennials Vs Gen-X reached its blistering finale where the final 6 contestants of Adam, Hannah, Ken, David, Bret and Jay fought to become the sole Survivor and the winner of the Million Dollar prize.

Unfortunately for Jay, Bret and David it wasn’t to be but that didn’t stop them from causing mayhem on their way out.

Damn you Jay!

It’s true that this A* cast has given me a number of favourites over the past weeks but Jay occupied the elite echelon on my list. From side-splitting confessionals to All-Star quality moments such as Michaela’sWhat!” Blindside, I’m sure he is kicking his butt for not covering that combination lock puzzle and playing David’s fake Immunity Idol tonight but he really shouldn’t. In a modern game of Survivor if you’re not going to win then you best play for a Second Chance which Jay has more than secured during his first time out, with Idol Shenanigans and trolling Probst with that “Jeffrey” comment on the way out.

Be sure to see Jay in a future season.

For as strong a season as Millennials Vs Gen-X was, we still got players like Rachel, Lucy, Jessica, Sunday and Bret whose story wasn’t really shown to great effect. Even for Bret, who makes the Final Five, was often portrayed as the number two guy to both Chris and Zeke at certain points in the game with the rare instances of visibility spikes coming at Tribal Council with angry outburst or that ‘coming out‘ moment. So to see Bret make it so close to end only to leave in fifth was predictable given that the editors had shown us no reason to think he could win at the end, perhaps unfaithfully so considering that Bret was well liked amongst the cast as the Reunion showed.

Another well-liked cast member (and new Fan Favourite) is David, whose personal-growth narrative was well documented on the show but also made him a target with the Meta-Savvy players on this season. With Ken ultimately serving as the axe-man for Dave’s exit from the game at the Final Four, it leaves me feeling as-if the Producers hid Ken’s awareness that David should never make to the Final three. I can consider that it is possible that the least strategic player left in the Final Four might have only realised at this point that Dave needed to go. And maybe the twisted Survivor Fan in me would’ve loved to have seen Adam and Dave go to a fire making tie-breaker no matter Ken’s choice. But if Ken was more self-aware of his position in the game, I would’ve like to have seen.

With David gone at Final Four however we got see Adam, Hannah and Ken battle it out at the Final Tribal Council – well – at least two of them did. With Ken sitting back and somewhat resting on the fact that he had ‘loyalty‘ and ‘integrity‘ on his side to win, it was left to Adam and Hannah to sling mud at each other. With Hannah’s arguments that she orchestrated many of the moves that Adam was given credit for, I couldn’t help but feel as if Hannah was criminal underrated for the game she played, a fact that was pointed out for the jury when Michelle pressed Hannah to reveal that she was only ever on the wrong side of the numbers once. A strong argument that Adam couldn’t make himself but for as visible a target as Adam was towards the end it also didn’t help that Hannah was practically invisible throughout competition as serious threat to win.

As a Survivor character, Adam was a triple threat: great strategic player, confessional gold and a personal story that transcended the game itself. In a season that had an embarrassment of strong characters, gameplay and (Probst’s favourite) ‘Big Moves‘, it took Adam’s eventual win to cement Millennials Vs Gen-X as a worthy addition to the Survivor Brand.

With an All-Star Season of “Game Changers” coming in the new year (stay tuned for more information on that soon). Adams game may be overlooked as recency bias takes hold but Survivor: Millennials Vs Gen-X will be remembered as a Strong season of Survivor for years to come.

Congratulations Adam!

The ‘Survivor: Millennials Vs Gen-X’ Review – “Slayed The Survivor Dragon”

If there was a review to miss, perhaps last weeks illness worked in my favour considering Wills story dovetailed nicely into the first of tonight’s eliminations.

Isn’t it funny how Wills ‘Big Move’ last week was in order to gain a winning resume only for him to become the forgotten number in this weeks meager first half? And that’s not forgetting that his moment was totally overshadowed by Adam’s miss-play of his Hidden Immunity Idol for Hannah anyway, so was the move really worth it?

It has to stated that Will’s move last week was in no way a ‘wining move‘ and I don’t know if the Survivor Producers were trying to give us a “Will is controlling his destiny” edit or what but Will came off as a massive douche in the first half of this episode. Especially considering he gains almost no credibility for voting out Zeke last week besides a massive target on his back and yet he believes he is running the game because of it.

Had he not been paying attention?

To say he annoyed me more than Fig-Tails is an accomplishment given the little airtime he received. That being said, the guy left with a smile on his face and no ill will (oh that was pun-tastic, c’mon) for being blind sided, so major props has to be given there.

I might be in the minority when it comes to enjoying double Tribal Council episodes but guys, we are 33 seasons in at this point. Rarely does daily island struggle bear much fruit – besides the odd Goat Hunting scene – anymore so the quicker we can get to Immunity Challenges (and less Reward Challenges pleeeease) and straight to pre-Tribal scrambling the better. Perhaps not every week but with Thanksgiving and this amongst some of the best episodes this season, it’s got to count for something.

Everyone pretty much got their time to shine tonight besides Sunday, whose elimination episode played out like the rest of her game, not being shown. But Adam and Jays love-hate bromance has quickly become my highlight of the season.

I’m living for their discussions when Jay tells Adam that he “hates” him for making him play his idol. The dichotomy that exists in their relationship where they both know they have to work together while also knowing that it’ll be a tough ask for either of them to win against each other in the end, is delicious to watch.

So when Adam’s reveal of his moms lung cancer secret to Jay, it only further compacted this pairs complicated friendship. Adding depth to a Survivor season that all to often is overlooked in favour of narrow storytelling.

To say I’m rooting for those two to make it to end is an understatement but with Jay’s Idol play tonight. I just don’t think it’s going to happen.

The ‘Survivor: Millennials Vs Gen-X’ Review – “Million Dollar Gamble”

When compared to last years Fall Season of Survivor Cambodia, when the Thanksgivings edition gave us the epic two episode downfall of the one-and-only Stephen Fishbach. Tonight’s episode somewhat paled in comparison with two Castaways going home who either were ineffectual in the game or were shown to do little in playing the game.

That being said, who doesn’t enjoy a good Rock-Draw? Well, Jessica for one.

Sorry Jess!

Even though Chris and Jessica went home (more on that later), this episode was very much Zeke and Davids game. The two Kingpins of the season lined up their troops and went into war, leaving Hannah to flip-flop in the middle.

Sure she’s a self-confess neurotic and felt akin to the other neurotic of the Season in David (it was a neuroses love-in) but out of the pair, surely Zeke comes at the game from a purely logical angel. So when Hannah is fully aware that like her, David plays from a stand-point of “Oh crap, I’m going home“, wouldn’t you want the more stable of the pair to steer you in the right direction?

That being said, Zeke played fast and loose this week staring with a warning shot across the bow of the fragile Gen-X alliance. Getting out the stronger players whenever you can will should be the best strategy in Survivor but given how Chris was fully in Zeke’s corner perhaps he will be the dead body that trips him up later. Especially if he is a bitter Juror (which I doubt) but Chris explosion from the game seems the more unnecessary out of the two.

Which leads me to Jess.

Other than her episode 1 Legacy Advantage finding spike, Jess has fallen victim to the ‘tell rather than show‘ mentally that Survivor Editors have towards certain female players in the game. Other than via confessionals by Bret, Chris and Sunday who told us that Jess was a dangerous player, not that anything in the edit suggested that, if anything Jess seemed quiet, loyal and (with all due respect) boring-as-hell. Which makes all the sense in the world considering how she left the game due to a rock draw, so to use Cambodia as a reference point yet again, she is the Kimmi Kappenberg of Millennials Vs Gen-X.

The other big moment came from Bret this week who shared a poignant moment with Zeke when he kinda-sorta-but-not-really came out on Survivor, a moment that was surprisingly handled delicately by the producers. Which lead to Zeke expressing admiration for Bret and the things he has done in his life as a gay-man in a time when being out-and-proud – a mantra that Zeke lives by – was difficult or near-impossible for him to do.

To play the Cynic Survivor Fan though, I was also curious to see that even though this was Bret’s story, it was Zeke who told us what this meant to him, for him and what we as the audience should feel about it rather than Bret himself. Considering this episode was – excuse the double entendre – a coming out party in terms of edit for Bret, perhaps he should tell us his life story in his own words.

Just a thought Survivor Producers, just a thought.

‘Angela Bassett’ Joins Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’

angela-bassett

Marvel looks to add a touch of glamour to their upcoming Black Panther Movie after recruiting American Horror Story favourite Angela Bassett to their ranks.

Marvel revealed via their website that the Academy Award nominated actress will portray Ramonda, mother of Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa aka The Black Panther.

A character that first appeared in Marvel Presents Vol 1 #14, Ramonda is perhaps more-known as mother to T’Challa’s younger sister Shuri who has inherited the mantle of Black Panther on a number of occasions. She is also regarded more as T’Challa’s surrogate mother after his birth mother died during childbirth, an aspect of the character that Marvel may yet use to add family drama to the Wakandan Royal Family.

Bassett joins an ever expanding cast including Forest Whitaker, Winston Duke, Lupita Nyong’o and Fantastic Fours’ Michael B. Jordan as the films villain Erik Killmonger.

The ‘Survivor: Millennials Vs Gen-X’ Review – “Still Throwin’ Punches”

When Survivor was last in Fiji, perennial Fan Favourite Yau-Man admitted that he “got a little nasty“, a claim that Taylor could also fess up too tonight.

Let’s be fair, you could call it a strategic move – for Tails in any case – to blackmail Adam into keeping Schtum about his stash of food, via using his (stupid) revelation about his Reward Stealing (Dis) Advantage. But considering stealing food in the first place is an all-time-dumb thing to do, you are bound to have another Trail-Mix Scandal on yours hands.

With all that in mind, Tails played a blinder at Tribal Council. Using Adams Advantage to put in the minds of the others that he could steal their Loved Ones Visit was genius, even if Adam put the idea in his head last week. And it clearly had an effect on Adam too, who is being painted as the Villain of this season.

The slow descent of my Favourite Adam started last week and seemingly snowballed tonight. From Zeke admitting to Will and Jay that he would happily cut his alliance-chums throat to Adam-himself calling out his own jerky actions of gloating about being in the majority alliance. I can’t help but feel that Adam is one step away from burning the camp to the ground Brandon Hantz style. Not that I’m calling his sanity into question but with Adam’s emotions bubbling on the surface already, Tails and Jay piling on him at Tribal Council was rough to watch. So you’ve gotten wonder what state of mind Adam is in going into next week.

But just don’t pee in the rice and beans bro, not cool.

From someone who seems over-the-top-negative to Hannah, who keeps impressing me. Considering her early status in the games was that of comedic relief coupled with damming statements and moves that didn’t seem all that logical. She may have an Aubrey finish in her yet.

For sure she is finding her footing – in her confessional she admits as much – I’m just worried she is coming out of the gates too hot right now. As one of three females still left in the game, you’ve got to think that the men are on the docket to start getting picked off now that Taylor has broken the seal? If that’s the case, all Hannah has to do is position herself behind the next Meat Shield whilst playing ‘Mastermind‘ behind the scenes. Worked for Aubrey last season, right?

While Taylor got the boot, Jay roared into prominence showing that A* Confessionals isn’t the only thing in his back pocket.

I was certain he was going to use Idol, so much so that when he didn’t and those name started racking up, I was positive he was a goner. But lo and behold I shouldn’t have doubted my man because like Alex in Survivor Fiji, he voted for his drinking buddy Taylor to ensure that the Vote Split went in his favour. Oh Man, Earl must be so pissed right now.

Not only that but he threw some shade in Tails direction with a truth bomb so glorious as to refer to his pal as a “dumb Surfer“. What was that again Tasha? “Shots fired!

We’ll forget that its probably not the best course of action to insult Jury Members on their way out but I’ll excuse it because I’m still laughing.

The NXT Review – November 16th, 2016 – ‘While The Cats Away’

Whats Up Wrestling Peeps! With NXT TakeOver Toronto mere days away. It meant that as the Main Event Cats made their quest to the land of a thousand Maple trees (or we can just call it Canada). It was down to the talented mice of the Yellow Brand to entertain the masses and they did a decent job.

With Billie Kay at ringside, it was the Venus Flytrap of NXT Peyton Royce’s job to finish off Liv Morgan after their attack on the scrappy-underdog last month. It was a job that Royce unfortunately wasn’t able to finish as Kay had to save her lackey only to follow-up with yet another beat-down from the Mean Girl’s Alliance.

After Morgan inadvertently managed to get Aliyah the win last week, she tried to return the favour by trying to save her new cohort, only to fall victim to that pretty sweet head thrust into Billie Kay’s knee. A Tag Team move that better stick around if these Women stay together for much longer. A possible that seems bleak at best, especially now that Ember Moon has inserted herself smack-bang in the middle of this fracas.

Royce & Kay better find a third Tag Team Member and Fast! Because Ember Moon has her glare set on Emma & Dana Brooke Mark II.

Urgh, seriously?? I thought we got rid of Elias Samson. It’s probably my fault though, I jinxed the whole damn thing when I pondered the other day as to the whereabouts of ‘The Drifter‘. Because, you know, he drifts. So I guess he drifted his way back into NXT.

I don’t mean to hate because actually I don’t think my (and others) lack of interest in Samson is in any way down to him. But when WWE picks up right where they last left off with this guy – in yet another squash match – you really start to lose hope that there is anything else to this gimmick.

Tonight’s Main Event was pretty dope to be honest, so dope in fact that I was expecting we’d see this at Toronto.

That being said, It’s okay that we didn’t given that Andrade Cien Almas NXT debut was subsequently met with a non-push. So when we saw Cien turn Heel against a mega over Cedric Alexander, I finally felt like we had a feud worthy of both these guys talent going forward. But it also means you’ve got to build upon it.

With TakeOver’s schedule before WWE’s Big Four PPV’s (not forgetting Full Sail only TakeOver’s and Tours) there will be plenty of opportunities for this pair to show off, assuming Alexander is still in one piece after Cien’s nasty domination.

Lets hope so.

The ‘Survivor: Millennials Vs Gen-X’ Review – “I’m The Kingpin”

What a hair-raising episode for Adam fans! Given the through-line we got, I was convinced that I was losing yet another one of my favourites. Especially when he didn’t use that Idol!

More on that point, what a great look for Hannah. The awkward home-girl of the Geek contingent, Hannah was able to put Adam at ease and tell him to “relax bro” after his squirrelly antics saw the vote sway in his direction a number of times. That’s not to say Hannah can win this but I’m ready for more airtime for her when considered that female Millennials are an endangered species right now.

Damn it Michelle! Where were those Jedi mind tricks girl? After her elaborate plan to vote out Mari (a little less salty), I was at least content that Michelle was a good player (which I still stand by that) and excited to see her go far. But these attractive females need to stop hanging off the Bros in the games. We have reached a point in Survivor when the “Meat shield” is a valid and successful plan to win outright, just ask Cambodia Sole Survivor Jeremy Collins. So with that trend set to continue, the unassuming female player that usually looks to go far becomes a target at the Merge. Even more so when Hidden Immunity Idols are in the mix, an x-factor that contributed more to Michelle’s exit than anything she did wrong, but still meant she took the hit when the Majority alliance weren’t sure whether Jay would past his Idol to Taylor but defiantly knew that Michelle would not receive it.

These Survivor nerds need to stop, listen to Hannah and chill out.

If it isn’t David giving me heart palpitations in the pre-Merge, Adam has now stepped up and become determined to send me to an early grave. Seriously, what in the hell possessed him to tell Taylor about this #SurvivorFirst advantage of stealing a reward, which is flat-out dumb by the way. I get that you have spent X amount of days together but you sent his Survivor Girlfriend home … he is not on your side! But then again when Tails is Mason-Jaring-i- up and stealing food, an alliance with the Dumb-arse Meat-Shield maybe isn’t such a bad plan. If he was on your side, which he ain’t, so still bad.

Will stepped into the fray tonight and really annoyed me. I know I should be all “he’s just a High Schooler” and “isn’t it cool that he is out there” but I’m not. I want more old people falling over rather than young people winning Immunity and thinking they are ‘Bad Asses’ for doing one entertaining thing this whole time. Perhaps the purple aspect to his edit puts him at a disadvantage but I just don’t care for Will, which is too bad because I know that he is a super fan and I want to root for him. But when you essentially just a pawn in the great scheme of things you get lumped in with the Sundays of the show and that is really bad place to be.

Maybe I’ll eat my words when he wins the game but … he ain’t wining the game.

Speaking of edits, Bret has really turned his game around. It’s possible that his spike in visibility is a precursor to a boot nearing soon but the idea of  Tri-Force of Bret, Chris and Zeke running this game to end might not be as crazy as it would’ve sounded in the Pre-Merge.

With so many lame ducks still around I’m certainly not against any three of the aforementioned Bro’s winning this game. I can’t shake this feeling however that someone underwhelming may steal this entire thing. Least not forget that Ken and Jessica still have that tight bond and an Legacy Advantage in the back pocket. I can see if those two take a Goat to final, Ken will easily win. Which would sour my opinion of what has been a surprisingly fun season so far.

With three Hidden Immunity Idols still in the mix though, I’m sure Millennials Vs Gen-X has some surprises still in store.

The NXT Review – November 9th, 2016

Whats Up Wrestling Peeps! Due to some technical difficulties last week it was impossible to get a Review to you on time, so apologies for that. But lets not cry, swear, and break-things over Internet failings, instead dive into this weeks humdinger of a show.

With only four teams remaining in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Tournament, I have some nagging questions that as-of-yet remain unanswered. Like besides that nifty looking Trophy, does whichever team reign supreme get a shot of the NXT Tag Team Titles? And if so, when will said match happen? TakeOver Toronto?

See, nagging questions aplenty.

And it’s not even as-if a president has been set for how this Tournament ultimately ends. I mean, considering last years winning team of Finn Balor & Samoa Joe pretty much broke-up after Joe contracted a nasty case of Heel-itus. So even if they were granted said title-shot, I don’t think Grumpy-Joe would have been interested. But surely there is some greater prize than just the Cowboy Boot Trophy … no?

Team DIY were on top-form as usual. But even with rare spots in the match were they took command over the dominate team of the Authors of PainPaul Ellerings’ monster Heels came out on the winning end. Because – you know – booking dictates that the undefeated Heel-Team must steamroll the competition no-matter how predicable it makes the overall outcome of the Tournament.

The only glimmer of hope which I’m desperately holding onto is TM61 beating AOP in the finals at Toronto (one question answered). I mean it, there better be a CWC-esque swerve coming some where down-the-line because if these two chumps win this whole damn thing … I riot!

Or construct an enthusiastically damning Review. Either way, pissed!

Ember Moon may serve as an unconventional counter-point to the aforementioned Authors of Pain. For starters she is lone female and twice as exciting between the ropes. But more-over her win-loss record so far in NXT may be as predictable as AOP be but at least her matches are far more entertaining.

Whereas I’d happily see the back of Rezar & Akam, Moon is destined for bigger things. Tonight – unfortunately for Rachel Evers – her opponent is merely a speed bump on the road to greatness and possible serious consequences for her health. I mean, who else right now is the top candidate to bring Asuka’s reign of tyranny to an end? I’m certain Mickie James will turn out to be tough competition for the NXT Women’s Champion at TakeOver Toronto. But even if James’ appearance isn’t a one-and-done deal, I don’t see the veteran breaking Asuka’s undefeated streak anytime soon.

Ember Moon on the other hand … we will see.

When was the last time a contract signing ever went to plan? And when I say “to plan“, what I mean is the way that ‘normal’ folks like you and I would end a civil contract signing. With a hearty handshake, an invitation for drinks or – if you’re so inclined – a Bayley approved hug?

Nope, when it comes to WWE, contract signings often mean stare-downs, fisticuffs and splinters.

That is unless your Grumpy-Joe whose own self-preservation meant that a ramp-lengh distance between himself and NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura meant that no violence was enacted, not between those two at least. But it did mean that Joe was able to shame NXT GM William Regal in an endless tirade of passive-aggressive actions between the two.

If Joe’s loss at TakeOver Toronto isn’t due to outside interference from Regal I’d be shocked. Not that I question the GM’s integrity (he is British after all) but I do question how long someone can be bullied before they snap and bring out the ol’ Brass Knuckles.

C’mon Regal, no-one would blame you.

The ‘Survivor: Millennials Vs Gen-X’ Review – “I Will Destroy You”

What a weird episode!

Besides the bountiful mic-drops from glorious Michaela (more on her in a bit), out of nowhere those that have been Purple-glossed for some time now found their voices … and boy did they speak up.

Firstly we got the new Vanua Tribe and Michelle – who besides her episode Two ousting of Mari (still salty yo) – has been relegated to background draping in favour of Chris, Zeke and David. Yes a majority of her confessionals was complaining about how gross the dudes were and how she was brought up with manners. But she also reminded us that she was at the bottom of the pecking order, obvious to us because of the lack of penis or should that be pecker (HaHa). But its surely a precursor to Michelle Jedi-Mind tricking herself back into the competitor … right?

survivor-millenials-vs-gen-x

Sticking with The Millennials and after last-weeks Figgy Boot (YAY) we got some annoying Ken and Jessica doubting Adam’s intentions because he is smart. And smart is bad in Survivor, which probably means Taylor is sticking around for a while.

Great

Seriously though, if Adam’s sacrifice results in him being screwed over by Ken and Jess, I’m goanna be pissed. Not as much as Michaela but more on that in a bit (we’ll get there). But what is Jess’ play here? Go with Taylor when his boy Jay is on the other Tribe? Or go with Chris, Bret and Sunday who voted for her numerous times?

But yeah, vote Adam out who has little-to-no alliances. Smart!

Any-who lets get to Michaela who was rather ceremoniously voted out of the game.

Cue the Hashtag bro.

survivor-millenials-vs-gen-x

So Jay thought it wise to vote out Michaela because not only is she smart (that old Chestnut), a challenge Beast but is also loyal to him, I see the problem here. Perhaps if Jay broke the Meta-Wall and put ‘Air Time Hog‘ I’d say he’d have a valid excuse.

Lets be honest, this was a bad move. I know I’m bias because we lost our Star Narrator of the year but for all the reasons listed above, Michaela was nothing but a Target coming into next weeks Merge. A factor that Michaela knew herself and for that very reason would’ve been loyal to Will, Hannah and (most importantly) Jay going forward.

survivor-millenials-vs-gen-x

This betrayal also particular stings because Jay is one of favourites. Perhaps not the favourite because major Adam-Love here but now with the Merge here, he is the biggest target going in. G’ah! Cue another of my favourites going home.

At least Michaela didn’t blow his spot with The Hidden Immunity Idol. Bullet well and truly dodged there mate.
