Millennials Vs Gen X Episode 11: Licence To Will

Carrying on the legacy

Hannah is feeling guilty that Jessica took the fall for her, as David laments wasting his idol. Zeke wants his group of five to stay loyal and is hoping to crush David's dream next. That villain edit is escalating. Ken picks up his new legacy advantage, hoping he can reap the rewards of it.

Show me love

Jeff springs a surprise on everyone at the next challenge when he decides to bring out loved ones...which makes Adam instantly cry. We see Sunday's husband, Bret's dad, Jay's sister, Hannah's mom. As Adam hugs his brother, he tells everyone he's not gonna use his advantage on this. Smart move. David's dad, Ken's brother, Will's mom and Zeke's very enthusiastic dad round out the guests. The challenge sees them attached on a rope and running through an obstacle course, starting in the water. Sunday is out of it very quickly, with Will also struggling. Ken leads until the digging part but gets stuck in his hole. Jay takes a lead in the final section as Adam gets even more stuck than Ken. Zeke makes a spirited attempt to catch up, but Jay wins reward. Getting to choose who joins him, he first takes Will and Sunday, but also takes Adam, as he was impressed that he didn't try to steal this.

Adam's brother Evan fills him in on how their mom's treatment is going. The pair then approach Jay to say thank you for picking them, and Adam decides to give him the advantage as a token of appreciation, Is that a strategic move or a personal move, or some combo of both?

Ready to join the big boys

When David points out to Will that the rest of his alliance is having an early morning meeting without him, Will seizes the opportunity to make a move. His plan is to take out Zeke, the biggest threat to win, in the hope that it'll finally get him some respect around here. This is three days after drawing a rock for him, let's not forget.

Don't let it slip through your fingers

The immunity challenge is to press their two handles against a metal bar to keep it up...if it drops, they're out. David is out immediately. Hannah, Will and Bret don't last long either. Once Zeke is gone, David starts celebrating. The last three are Ken, Jay and Adam. All three start to slip slightly, with Ken going first and Jay hanging on by a thread. Adam beats Jay to win immunity, checking another thing off the superfan's bucket list.

Looking for authenticity

David has faith that Will is going to follow through with the plan to vote out Zeke. But Zeke's side sense that David is a little too calm, and wonder what he has up his sleeve. They decide to switch the vote to Ken just in case he has another idol. Will goes for a walk with Ken to reassure him about the vote, and lets him know they're writing his name now. Ken then takes this information back to Jay, which blows up Will's spot and leaves him rightfully furious. As Will's alliance try to reel him back in, Adam and Hannah wonder if Ken has just blown it for them.

At tribal council, it's out in the open that Will is the swing vote, and he starts by denying Sunday's accusation that he was easily swayed. Will gets drunk with power and says that he's tired of being treated like a high schooler, feeling only Jay treats him like an adult. David makes the point that Will can put something on his resume by siding with them and making a move. Bret says the other side will just vote him out first chance they get. As the sides go back and forth debating their case, Jay gets the final word in and just tells him to go with his gut.

After the votes are cast, Adam pulls his idol out of his crotch and decides to use on Hannah. This effectively seals Zeke's fate, but it turns out Will voted for him anyway. Damn Adam, way to steal that thunder. In his final words, Zeke gives credit to the level of gameplay this season for making him play so hard. I'll bet there's a few more twists and turns left as well.

STAR OF THE WEEK: ADAM KLEIN

Getting to see his family and winning immunity in one episode? That must've been huge for Adam and he seems to be course correcting his earlier mistakes. He played an idol unnecessarily, but better safe than sorry, and his best move was perhaps giving away the advantage anyway.
