Millennials Vs Gen X Episode 7: When Winners Lose

Adam has a lot of explaining to do following tribal council, and fully admits to Taylor he screwed him over. Taylor knows he's in a bad spot and plans to "destroy" Adam when he gets the chance. David feels safe on his tribe, but wants to build his relationship with Zeke a bit more, who he already trusts more than Chris. He decides to tell Zeke about his idol, saying nobody else knows about it. Risky move!

Bad poker face

Despite preaching Millennial loyalty at the last challenge, Michaela smiles at seeing Figgy gone, and gives her a "bye Felicia". The reward challenge is to race from the water to retrieve balls, then throw the balls through a hoop, take them out of a net, and get them on top of a beam. Zeke, Jay and Adam are the ones tasked to unwrap the balls. Zeke struggles so David takes over, but he's not much better. Jay, Ken and Chris do the shooting but it's Zeke and Michelle getting the balls out of the net that really makes the difference. Chris is a good thrower and ends up winning the challenge for Vanua. Ikabula finally get their last ball, and Michaela tries to make up time against Ken. Michaela pulls out another great performance, and gets them second place.

David wants to leave a 5-star Yelp review

Vanua get a chef in camp for their reward, and the guys on the tribe all scarf down the food as fast as they can. Michelle just shakes her head in disapproval. She's worried that as the only girl left on the tribe, she's the obvious next boot. Meanwhile, we see Taylor pledging his loyalty to Jessica and Ken, who wonder if he's a better option to go with than the more overtly strategic Adam.

Bret is telling his tribemates that he's a funeral director...but Hannah isn't buying it, and is pretty sure he's a cop. Jay agrees, and because of that, it's looking like Bret's game is gonna be six feet under if they ever lose a challenge.

You'd think this would be the easy part

The immunity challenge is to throw coconuts into a basket until it releases numbers that have to be put into a combination lock. Then we finish with some target practice. Takali are first to get their basket down and Adam cracks the combination in two tries. Taylor is first up on the slingshot, but switches out for Ken. Bret, Michaela and Jay all take turns on the slingshot but nobody can seem to get it. Michelle gets stuck at the combination lock for a long time, but once they get Chris on the sling shot, he's able to overtake Ikabula. Takali win the challenge thanks to Ken, and Vanua eke out a second place by one target. Ikabula taste defeat for the first time.

Seashell strategy

Ikabula sit in silence back at camp. Bret and Sunday know it will be one of them and they're forced to vote for eachother. Michaela uses rocks to demonstrate to their group that it doesn't matter who they vote out since the Millennials have the numbers. But now Jay starts talking to Will about potentially getting Michaela out instead, and not telling Hannah, since they both think she's super smart. This would be a huge move, if it goes through!

At tribal council, Jeff asks Michaela if the other tribes both having flips means this one will too, but she seems to think her tribe is trustworthy. She says that everybody likes eachother and that they could've gone far together if it wasn't for that darned slingshot. Sunday says she's obviously on the outs though. Will and Jay both say the tribe will be stronger after the vote.

Ice cold

Jeff starts by reading the Bret votes, and Michaela is then surprised by seeing her name. By the third vote, she turns around to Jay and asks if he did it, to which he calmly replies "yeah". She yells at Jay, grabs her torch, gets snuffed, goes back for her shoes to yell at Jay some more, and then exits tribal council punching a bush. Hannah is freaking out, and I must admit, I was too.

Well, that was a hell of an exit and a hell of a blindside. I don't think Ikabula got that strong 5 they wanted, but it's really cranked this season up to another level at the perfect time.

STAR OF THE WEEK: JAY STARRETT

Jay was like a mafia boss this week, looking Michaela in the eye right after ordering her execution. It remains to be seen whether it was too early to make that move, but you can't say he isn't playing.
