Millennials Vs Gen X Episode 2: Jungle Love

Fire won't save your life

Five days in, Gen X are still unable to get fire until David of all people steps in. Paul outlines the pecking order, with David next to go. David manages to look for the idol under the pretense of fetching rocks for the camp, and finds an oddly-marked coconut he figures must be it. David cracks it open and now he has an idol. Ok, now he has some options.

Young love blossoms at the Millennials camp as Figgy and Taylor flirt, and Michaela even overhears them kissing in the night. She outs it the next morning, much to Taylor's embarrassment. Figgy doesn't foresee it being a problem but people are already talking about it, and Jay is annoyed that his buddy is blowing his chance at a million dollars trying to get laid.

Ken catches an octopus to provide for his tribe. But whilst the survival part comes natural to him he's unexpectedly finding the social game hard. Ken and David bond about both being on the bottom, and wonder what they can do to break Paul's hold on the tribe. David trusts Ken enough to tell him about the idol.

The claws are out

Michaela is not a fan of Figgy and how obvious she's being with her flirting, but trying to keep that under wraps is pretty hard for her too. Eventually, the passive-aggressive jabs turn into a full-on bitch fight which you have to imagine is putting a target on both of them. I'm team Michaela though - she's hilarious.

As Ken talks to CeCe about how he wants Paul gone, we see Paul keel over from heatstroke. His tribe keep him company whilst Probst and the doctor arrive, and Dr Joe suspects it might be a heart attack. Sunday is hopeful that Paul will pull through, and he eventually gets the OK. David admits part of him was glad Paul almost got pulled, and intends to use it as strategy to get him out.

Finish him

Ken puts a ring on it

The immunity challenge takes place on the water, and before we start, the Millennials have to awkwardly swim the idol back to Jeff...why couldn't they have done that on land? The challenge is to swim out, climb up a platform to grab a key, then dive down to get rings and toss them onto posts. Chris gets a key slightly ahead of Michelle, and Paul manages to hold his own against Will. Sunday also does it quickly, but David is reeeally slow. Gen X lose more time when CeCe can't get a ring. On the throwing section, it's Jay vs CeCe, and CeCe is able to give Gen X a lead. Ken subs in to finish it off, showing that the old people are still able to put up a fight.

Mari, Zeke, Hannah and Michaela all want Figgy out, and decide to let Jay know about the vote too. Jay tells Michelle and she is not okay with it, saying they have to do something to save her. Jay encourages Figgy and Michaela to mend their rift, and also tells Michaela that Zeke will come after her next once Figgy is gone. I suspect that's a lie, but it gets her thinking. Michelle also tries to get Will on board, but he's less enthusiastic. They go into tribal with Michelle knowing her job is not done.

Superfan Adam can barely hide his glee at being at tribal council, even though he knows they have to vote somebody out. Mari says this game is a lot more personal than the games she's used to. Zeke says he feels like his best self out here, but Michaela thinks the island brings out negative qualities too. As Michaela and Figgy throw down, Michelle tries to get Hannah to vote out Mari. Hannah is reluctant and asks for an explanation, but Michelle just promises to explain later. Hannah rambles when Jeff finally addresses her but most people aren't suspicious of the whispering, with Mari saying they're probably talking about puppies or butts.

Hurry up, Hannah!

As we vote, Figgy is hoping Michaela will come through for her. Hannah sits at the voting booth, unsure what to do, and stays there so long Probst even comes up to check on her. The votes are read, and it ends up being game over for Mari. Whoa, crazy blindside. I thought Mari was in a good position, and this episode certainly didn't explain why she left.

Well, look at that...just when we thought the cool kids had no game, they actually manage to pull something off. Time will tell whether keeping the obvious pair in the game bites them in the ass, if the Michaela/Figgy truce can last, and what Zeke and Adam will do next.

STAR OF THE WEEK: MICHELLE SCHUBERT

There's a lot more to this bible-reading beauty than meets the eye. She definitely turned things around for her alliance, getting the votes she needed to keep Figgy in the game. Her quiet charm could be a deadly force in this game, so don't underestimate her.
