Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X 1x7 "I Will Destroy You" live blogging updates

Taylor and Adam discuss the fallout of tribal council.  To no one's surprise, it's Taylor who provides the quote the episode's title is taken from.

Orange Tribe: David talks about Michelle being the most likely candidate for elimination, but instead begins considering other options, such as Zeke, who he decides to show his hidden immunity idol.  Zeke looks less jaunty the longer he's playing.  That's sad.  Less sad than Michelle being in trouble.

Reward challenge!  Jeff asks Michaela if she stands by her prior comments about Millennials with their numbers.  She says it was well past time for Figgy to go.  They're playing for a chef to come to camp.  How he'll make cheesecake at camp will be very interesting.  (Heh.)  Orange Tribe does not do very well.  Turns out Zeke and David are not good at this challenge.  But then when it comes to shooting hoops, they get back in it.  Chris really good at making shots, Zeke and Michelle really good at getting balls out of nets.  I guess it only figures.  Orange Tribe wins!  Green Tribe comes back from sucking badly to win second place: kebabs.  Michaela keeps crushing it at challenges.  She comments that she doesn't like standing out. 

Orange Tribe eats chef food.  Don't overeat!  Zeke not only breaks his dieting, but doesn't take the preceding advice.  They have no idea what happens in this game...Michelle "eats like a human," according to Chris.  She has to listen to a Mel Brooks scene later...I wish she were on a different tribe, or that they at least don't go to tribal council until the merge...

Purple Tribe: Taylor talks about not liking politics.  They probably love the synergy with the big election next week...Jessica asks him about a different vote, in which he of course throws Adam under the bus.  She continues to overvalue her strategic instincts.

Green Tribe: eats kebabs.  Michaela talks about trying to pretend creepy crawly things not creeping and crawling around her.  She calls herself pretty intense, compares herself to Steve Jobs and Michael Jordan, and declares herself a winner.  Does Bret really participate in the great funeral business tradition of Survivor?  Hannah doesn't think so.  For some reason.  She thinks he's a cop.  No spy shack, Hannah.  Some people are just looking a lot less good in this game.  Jay thinks he's a cop, too.  He apparently spends a lot of time lighting bonfires on the beach.  This just in: he's also not a FBI agent, and doesn't have a real accent, and snuck in some jerky...(He actually is a cop, by the way.)  (But he is not a retired football player.)

Immunity challenge!  Coconuts!  (You can never go wrong with coconuts.)  Chris continues to be reliable shooting things into nets.  He is probably a professional shooter-of-things-into-nets.  (Assuming that is a thing other than in playing basketball.)  Purple Tribe does well in the first and second parts of the challenge.  Michelle struggles at finding a working combination.  If they lose, Orange Tribe really might vote her out...I bet she wasn't feeling too great about that, either...But they turn out to be better at knocking targets out with coconut.  Purple Tribe wins first place.  "Nothin' but...wood on that."  Smooth save, Jeff.  Orange Tribe wins second place!  Green Tribe, of the kebabs, going to tribal council...Are they going to use the flimsy cop excuse to eliminate Bret?  Did they have a reason to want him anyway? 

Orange Tribe spends time sitting around in silence.  It is awkward.  Sunday, whose main distinguishing factor is that her name is Sunday, knows it's either her or Bret going home.  Neither has much of a plan to escape this plight.  Michaela uses small beads and seashells to explain what has to happen next.  It doesn't hurt that she's the Millennial who's most likely to succeed at this point.  I've gotten around to liking her just fine, small beads and all.  Jay talks about her being a smart girl, "and that's the problem."  He then hatches a plan to eliminate her before the merge.  That may be why she had such a great edit this episode...Even Will, whose main distinguishing factor is that his name is Will, comes aboard Jay's thought process.  They're both pretty sure Hannah will freak out.  I was really, really wrong about her.  She's not even worth calling the female David.  Who continues to be absent from recent edits...

Tribal council!  They actually just had music that sounded like Lost.  Meta!  Michaela talks about sketchy people not being able to be relied on.  They all confirm that "even Michaela?!?" was able to keep silent for thirty minutes.  Jeff wonders if Bret still believes anything is possible.  He thinks people trust him.  Jeff brings up blindsides.  Foreshadowing!  Sort of!  Jay talks about following your gut.  Which, no offense to fat people, but is probably really easy for fat people.  And people who generally walking in a forward direction.   Wait, I may have taken that too literally...Michaela doesn't want anyone to feel like they're at the bottom, but that's a lofty and insane goal...Jeff is pretty convinced that someone is going to be blindsided.  If it's not Bret or Sunday going home, his words will ring true.  (Read: be very worried, Michaela.  Which would pretty much torpedo the tribe.)  Bret and Michaela get votes, of course, Michaela is shocked.  She asks Jay if he voted for her.  She actually stops Jeff from finishing the votes for a moment.  This is a first.  She gets the final and deciding vote.  She does not leave happy.  She does not have nice things to say about Jay.  Jeff notes the irony of what just happened...
