The ‘Survivor: Millennials Vs Gen-X’ Review – “Your Job Is Recon”

Well that was a bit of a Tease. All the build up for last weeks “Twist” only to be let down by a Survivor Submit, oh sorry, a #SurvivorSubmit.

I couldn’t have been the only one to predict a swap into Three Tribes – which may well happen some ways down the line – but dare I say, this was still really good.

With the Millennials having to send dimwitted Taylor (aka Tails), Figgy, Will and Jay to meet the representatives of Gen-X. It gave the ousted Trio of CeCe, Ken and David a chance to change their future in the game, while Paul creepily asked if their were any “boyfriends and girlfriends” going on at the youngsters camp.

*shudders*

Although my love for David is unwavering, admitting to a Blonde Lothario that you’d turn on your Tribe at the Merge perhaps maybe wasn’t the best move. Considering the plus for gaining numbers at that point is severely outweighed when you come to realise you at the bottom of the alliance.

Good for David for ‘Playing the game‘ but at this point I’m under no illusions that David can win however. Sticking with Ken means he will just be Stephened-out at the Final Tribal Council. But joining Tails and the Triforce doesn’t seem much smarter either.

Best outcome is anything that keeps him on my Tv screen the longest and Taylor doesn’t seem the best choice.

But what a coming out party for Ken. For a guy that barely poked his head above the canopy last week, this episode … you couldn’t shut him up.

For all the moments that our Model with a heart of gold had, there were plenty of times that he straddled the edge of arrogance. Lucky for him these were contrasted with Dodo shots of Paul saying his going to do something only to fail. Kinda like a more incompetent Rupert, which given Rupert is … well … Rupert. Thats saying something. So when you’re putting down a guy that stupidly tells Pink-Eye Jessica (how she shall forever be known) that should Bret, Chris and himself decide to go their own way he’d tell the girls “Good Luck“.

Ken really isn’t the asshole in that situation.

After disappearing last week I’m glad to see that Jessica gets the credit for Paul’s blindside here.

Sure she has this Legacy Advantage so even if she goes out early we have to see her nurture bonds with whomever she ‘wills’ it too (morbid much?). But Jessica is slowly proving that she is a real contender to go far. Astutely picking up on what Paul was unwittingly revealing (#FreudianSlip), she took the chance to get rid of a future turncoat knowing that David, Ken and CeCe would be more than happy to throw their votes on him.

Sure she runs the risk of pissing off her close allies of Bret and Chris. But I have more fair in her skills to placate the pair than what Millennial Hannah has.

Oh Hannah.

Lets be clear here. Hannah may have voted out my Winner pick Mari (still Salty) but it was absolutely the right decision. The problem is when the injured party tells you to go away, staying put and playing the victim – sorry Han but yeah you were – only further alienates both parties.

Judging by Adam‘s willingness to approach her later on in the episode, show that things were more than likely smoothed over by that point. I still can’t dislodge this unnerving feeling that the Triforce has Hannah, Will and Michaela on lockdown.

Damn … they so pretty.
