Millennials Vs Gen X Episode 3: Scheming With The Enemy

End communication
Adam comes back from tribal council giving credit to Figgy and Taylor for the vote, even though it was mostly Michelle. Hannah wants to let Zeke know that she really wasn't part of this until the last minute, but Zeke isn't in the mood to talk...and she takes a long time to get the hint. Zeke and Adam lie next to eachother both on "dumbass Island". They're both big fans, they know the game, so let's see what they can do.

On Gen X, fellow superfan David is also on the bottom, along with Ken. And Ken is particularly frustrated by his position because the guy calling the shots, Paul, can't even catch a single fish. And he's from Florida!

A message arrives in tree mail asking the Millennials to send 4 people to meet with representatives from the opposite tribe. They draw rocks and Figgy, Taylor, Will and Jay end up going - all the cool kids, great. Will is excited, but Jay just hopes Taylor and Figgy don't start making out. What, were they doing that everywhere or something?

Generational mingling

They meet with the Gen X'ers, who turn out to be David, CeCe, Chris and Paul. Paul still can't resist being the centre of attention and CeCe and David throw him under the bus the first chance they get. David then gets Taylor alone and promises to work with him after a swap. Well, he's not subtle, but I don't really blame him for being desperate.

Adam makes his case
The summit people report back on their findings. When Ken finds out the other tribe are calling him Ken doll, he doesn't seem too impressed with the name. Ken talks to Jessica to see if there is any hope of flipping the game against Paul, but she's already committed to an alliance. Adam tries to make moves on his tribe, telling Michaela that breaking up Figgy/Taylor is important, as Michelle and Jay will never turn on them.

Old people are slow, amirite?
The immunity challenge is to carry bags through an obstacle course over a balance beam, then knock down a puzzle with sandbags and build it back up again. Millennials get through the obstacle course first, but Chris makes up time on the balance beam. Taylor ends up going twice when Will can't do it, as CeCe eats up a lot of time going slowly. Once she's done, Chris goes back for more trips as Lucy struggles. It's Jay doing the throwing, who has a huge lead over Ken. Zeke and Michelle take over on the puzzle. David and Sunday get to work as well, and appear to be going quicker, but the Millennials have enough of a headstart to win immunity. They end up getting chairs, but Jay asks if they can have fishing gear instead. Jeff agrees on the condition that Gen X are OK with it, but they veto it, not wanting the opposition to get any more advantages.

Blunt talk
Chris, Paul and Bret all think it's a slamdunk for CeCe to go since they lost so much time on her section of the challenge. David and Ken want to try and get Paul out though, sensing they have nothing to lose. Jessica asks Paul if there's a boys alliance going on, and he says he'd tell her if there was...which isn't reassuring to her. Jessica, Sunday and Lucy talk it over and agree they are on the bottom of the 6. But is now the right time to flip?

At tribal council. David mentions he really enjoyed the summit. CeCe says she still feels on the bottom. Chris is asked if everyone in his alliance feels secure and he says it's too early to start thinking about making moves. Jeff points out how the Millennials were able to work better in the challenge, and Bret wonders if pride played a part in that, whilst Sunday just thinks that they might be too stubborn. Jeff then asks about...texting abbreviations? This is getting way off topic now.

By the end of tribal council, CeCe has three votes and Paul has six. He was so sure he was in control, he didn't see it coming at all. So the girls went through with their coup, but will it make the tribe any stronger? C u nxt time 2 find out!

STAR OF THE WEEK: KEN MCNICKLE
Ken just gets more and more endearing every episode. He's the last person I expected to be an outcast, but he managed to fight his way in with his likeability and fishing skills, and finally has a much better spot in the game now
