Youre all warriors, he adds. Did Davids fake idol top Bob Crowleys? Air date: Nov 2, 2016. The big question now becomes: Will Ken honor his final-three deal with David? 8. At Takali, Figgy and Taylor decided to tell Jessica and Ken about their relationship. David won the challenge, but Jay used the reward stealer to choose the reward participants; he picked David for winning the challenge and Adam for giving him the reward stealer. We know Bret is not a big Ken fan, back from when he snapped Welcome to the game, Ken a few weeks back. Due to a deadlocked tie after two rounds of voting and the non-tied contestants being unable to come up with a unanimous decision to vote out either Hannah or Zeke, the non-tied and non-immune contestantsAdam, Bret, David, Jessica, Sunday and Willdrew rocks to resolve the vote; Jessica picked the black rock and was therefore eliminated. You could see the entire cast drying their eyes behind him, and with good reason. 78 mins. Ken decides to go for it, and with ONE SECOND LEFT, he gets down the eighth and winning bowl. After all, did we really need to hear from Lucy? It is only a matter of when. Before Tribal Council, Hannah tried to convince Adam to vote against Sunday in order to keep their alliance strong. "[40] In 2020, "The Purple Rock Podcast" ranked Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X as the 13th-best season in the series, stating that the season has "several enjoyable narrative arcs, some nice interactions between the players, and some of those delicious tears that Probst loves so much. A new Survivor winner has been crowned. With David vulnerable at that night's vote, Adam and Hannah tried convincing KenDavid's closest ally since the start of the gameto betray David. No way any player can get mad at that. This is next-level stuff, people. Months later, it was revealed that the jury unanimously voted to award Adam the title of Sole Survivor over Hannah and Ken. After switching her vote to eliminate Mari, Hannah apologized to Adam and Zeke and expressed a desire to still work with them, but they were frustrated with her for refusing to leave them alone after betraying them. He revisits this again when he asks Ken to name when he started actually playing, and then cuts him off and re-asks the question when he does not like the answer he gets. View Details.

Which is why I kind of felt bad the show basically made fun of him for almost half an hour for not realizing it was a decoy idol. 1. . During the revote, Zeke openly asked Jessica to switch sides to avoid a deadlocked tie, but everyone stayed loyal and the votes were tied again. You dont see me strapping dynamite to Medallions of Power and blowing them up for kicks and giggles. Adam's brother shared information about their mother's battle with cancer. Per the rules, a second vote was held where the castaways involved in the tie would not vote and the remaining castaways could only vote for those who tied. Im going to do us all a favor and get through this next challenge really quick-like. So, a hearty congratulations to Adam Klein. Just sayin. Season 33 Premiere Recap By Rebecka Schumann @RebeckaSchumann 09/21/16 AT 9:31 PM EDT Gen X failed to get their puzzle done and win the first Immunity Challenge in "Survivor: Millennials. He recruited Jay and Will to join him, Bret and Sunday, while Hannah tried recruiting Adam to join her, David, Jessica and Ken, and force a tie. Survivor: Millennials vs. GenX is the 33rd season of the American CBS competitive reality television series Survivor. NEXT: Ken makes something somewhat resembling a move. Thank you, bastards! he bellowed as he went back to retrieve it. Now, as a juror, it would be up to me whether I let that influence my decision in terms of who actually played the best game but as a player, you use every tool in your toolbox, and if he saw that information as something that would help him, then he should use it. (Tough, but fair.) At Tribal Council, David and Zeke's alliances openly quarrelled and whispered amongst themselves about their respective plans. Thats right, take a seat, old man! Again! However, David played his hidden immunity idol on Jessica, nullifying the five votes against her and sending Lucy out of the game with David and CeCe's votes. Plop down on your gigantic pile of money the million dollars you accumulated by winning Survivor: Gabon for all I care. Whats interesting is what happens next, as Adam tells Jay he does genuinely love him like a brother and You know why. This is referring to the talk they had on the hammock when Adam revealed his mothers cancer diagnosis. Jay played a hidden immunity idol, therefore one vote against him was not counted. No one saw me get the freaking idol. This is also illustrated in Jay and Adams last conversation before Tribal, when Jay pleads for another shot. The Gen X tribe was fractured between two alliancesone led by Paul and Chris, and the other by David and Kenwhile the Millennial tribe's majority was run by Jay and Michelle. At Vanua, Chris and Zeke bonded over their mutual home state of Oklahoma, and Chris's experience playing on the 2000 Oklahoma Sooners football team. At the GenX camp, Rachel's bossiness annoyed her tribemates while David struggled with camp setup; his paranoia led to him searching for a hidden immunity idol, which caused his tribe to distrust him. NEXT: More jury questions and a big decision by Adam. Because why wouldnt they? Zeke then says the winner should reflect that evolution while dismissing Ken out of hand for doing nothing to evolve the game. Adam responds by saying he kept big threats in front of him, while Hannah insists on using the phrase Trust Cluster again, which just sounds more like a breakfast cereal than a legitimate strategy. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing is as debatable as Zekes choice in shirts. Jeremy waited until the last possible minute of Second Chances final Tribal Council to reveal tearfully his wife, Val, was home pregnant with a baby. Sometimes it got him in a bit of trouble when he overplayed his hand, but there has never been any doubt Adam came to play and play hard. What did you think of the finale? What else you got?. That starts to feel a little one-note after a while heres hoping every season does not feature an alleged nerd progressively becoming less nerdy throughout the season, which is starting to turn into a Survivor staple but overall, it was great to hear the cast talk about the season. Back at camp, an alliance of Bret, Chris, Jessica, Lucy, Paul, and Sunday formed, andfollowing an impassioned plea of loyalty from Davidthey decided to target Rachel. If you hurry, you may be able to get one more on in time and win. After all the buildup for this new twist, I thought we might have something a little more exciting than another plain Jane immunity. Continue to underestimate me, says Ken, but the problem is if everyone is underestimating him, then he aint winning the million dollars. Brilliant! Im not sure how that is applicable in the least, other than to unnecessarily hammer home this seasons theme one more time. So many goodies. I think it was a terrible decision to leave David in the game and could have been a million-dollar mistake, he announces, and while Hannah then gets a bit heated and says she was making her own decisions and sticking to her guns, it is likely the jury agrees with Adam. Jay won the challenge. Tremendous. What do you do then? The next night, the ten jurors questioned Adam, Hannah and Ken about why they deserved to win. But not too bad, obviously, seeing as I am about to do the exact same thing here. Just one small thing: Didnt Hannah get Ken to flip? And look, theres Jeff Probst getting absolutely hammered by a wave! I guess Bret figured it was for the common good to make sure David didnt get it, but why you would help someone find an idol when you could be out looking for the idol and saving yourself is beyond me. While his Millennials tribemates hunted for food, Adam looked for the hidden immunity idol and found a clue to its location. But here, you had Adam openly telling David why he should have gone and David seemingly taking no offense to hearing it. 63 mins. Jay's vote against Ken was negated, while everyone else came together to send Jay out of the game. During the reunion, Adam revealed that his mother died an hour after he returned home from the game, and pledged to donate $100,000 of his winnings to cancer research. . [1] The season premiered on September 21, 2016 with a 90-minute episode and ended on December 14, 2016 when Adam Klein was unanimously awarded the title of Sole Survivor over Ken McNickle and Hannah Shapiro by a jury vote of 1000. He probably thinks he has a good shot at it due to all his immunity victories. Informed Ability: He claims to be an expert at puzzles, but has repeatedly lost on every puzzle challenge. So what does it matter? David, Hannah and Ken affirmed their final three deal and decided to target Adam for being a larger threat than Bret to win the final challenge. After Ken trots out his Legacy Advantage adding another dollop of intrigue to the proceedings Jay sees he is voted out. That has to suck.) Im not sure it was really necessary here, with Chris using his time to advocate for Adam, but what is funny is watching him credit Adam for convincing Ken to finally flip on David. I am right now giving that entire challenge the most dramatic slow clap in history, but only in my mind, because to actually stand up and slow clap at my television would be downright weird and probably scare my cats. Does that mean you have to find a way to keep early booted players on your good side in the hopes of having it willed to you? Ken gets four, then Hannah ties him. David defeated Zeke to win immunity. Enjoy the holidays, and I will see you in a few months with a supersized scoop of the 2017 crispy! Set. Michaela Bradshaw and Zeke Smith returned the following season for Survivor: Game Changers. At Vanua, David told Zeke that he trusts him more than Chris and showed him his hidden immunity idol in order to secure his loyalty. After David played his hidden immunity idol to save Jessica, she vowed to be loyal to David and Ken and told Ken about her legacy advantage. of Castaways 20 Winner Adam Klein Runner (s)-Up Hannah Shapiro Ken McNickle Tribes Takali Vanua Ikabula Vinaka Cast Ultimately, at Tribal Council, Adam cast the deciding vote against Figgy, sending her out of the game. The challenge is basically one we have seen before. David is busy admiring Jays balls or balls of steel, as he calls them while Bret is pissed off Hannah allowed the biggest threat in David to stay in the game, comparing it to when the Navy SEALs stormed into Osama bin Ladens compound and how it would have been like them saying Lets go grab some coffee.
