Millennials Vs Gen X Episode 4: Meet The New Boss

Chris is pissed after tribal and doesn't feel like talking about it. Sunday wonders if they made a mistake. Lucy goes to Chris and Bret to tell them Jessica was the one behind the plan to oust Paul, and that they can grab Ken and David to make a move on her next.

The Millennials are hungry, so Figgy enthusiastically leads a group to find some food. They spot a goat up a mountain and go after it. Adam watches from the beach in amazement as he goes on a hunt of his own: for the immunity idol. Unlike his tribemates, he manages to find something...it's only a clue though, and he'll have to come back later, but he's so excited he's crying. Adorable.

The reward challenge is a battle in the water, with two tribe members each round trying to get a ring back to their post. Jay and Adam take on Chris and David for the first point, where Chris is able to out-muscle Adam and allow David to score. Sunday and CeCe then take on Michaela and Figgy, where Michaela ties it up. Bret and Ken take on Taylor and Will, with Ken scoring to keep Gen X in the lead.

Naked ambition

Jessica and Lucy vs Michaela and Hannah is the next matchup, where Michaela ends up losing her top and beastmoding the ring to her pole single-handedly. That leaves the deciding point in the hands of Jay and Zeke against Chris and David. Jay goes for the ring as Zeke obstructs Chris, but when Chris gets in the mix, he is able to turn the tide and win it. Gen X win reward, just as Jeff gets wiped out by a wave himself.

Shell yeah!

Michaela is getting a lot of plaudits for her effort in the challenge, as Zeke says there wasn't much they could do against the other tribe's huge guys. Adam decides to hunt for the idol, which he knows is in a shell. He finds the shell and breaks it open, just as Hannah comes up to ask how his idol search is going. Adam dedicates the idol to his mom, opening up about how hard it has been since he got the news of her cancer diagnosis.

David and Ken want to know what the plan is for the next tribal. Lucy lets them know it's Jessica, and tells them not to talk to anyone else, which doesn't sit right with Ken. "We went from one dictator to another" he says. Hmm, maybe she was better off when she was not talking.

Lucy calling the shots

Gettin' Figgy with it

The immunity challenge is to have a tribemate pulled up in a chair to take numbered tiles. Once three people have retrieved all the tiles, they use them to solve a word puzzle. Gen X send Chris out to the chair first, and despite being much heavier than Figgy, he ends up beating her. Ken and Michelle are the second to go, with Gen X still in the lead. David gets his tiles just ahead of Michaela, but it's now going to come down for the puzzle. David, Chris and Ken try some things for Gen X, whilst Michaela, Figgy and Michelle decide to wait until they figure it out. None of David's guesses prove correct, but it seems like Zeke gets the answer first. Millennials win immunity!

Ken tells David he doesn't want to go along with Lucy's plan and is gonna let Jessica know she's on the chopping block. But when Ken breaks the news, Jessica is shocked and isn't sure she believes him. Lucy is telling Jessica to vote CeCe, so she spills what Ken told her. Lucy confronts Ken openly where he addresses her bossiness, and now everyone's plans are a huge mess.

At tribal council, David says the last vote didn't bring them together at all, as Chris admits their tribe is in chaos. Jessica says she hopes they've reformed as a strong five. Lucy gets to defend her attitude by saying that in her experience, men appreciate bluntness. Ken is also mad at Jessica for leaking his plan, but doesn't back down when she questions whether she should believe him. David says this is a live tribal and that the vote might still be up in the air.

Eh, why the hell not?

After the votes, David stands up and decides to play his idol on Jessica. Well damn, didn't see him going through with that. Jessica watches in wide-eyed amazement as 5 votes for her are wiped out, and 2 for Lucy is enough to send her home. Now THAT was an awesome vote that pretty much came from nowhere.

Well, Lucy was pretty fun for the one episode we actually saw her, but I was happy Jessica got to stay, and at least now she knows who she can trust. David just blew up the game, and Gen X has to realign once again.

STAR OF THE WEEK: DAVID WRIGHT

I can see the argument either way for his move, but I loved it. I think he just cemented a new majority with himself, Ken, Jessica and CeCe. It's awesome to see the guy scared of everything playing so boldly.
