Jay thought he'd get punched in the face at tribal council, but Michaela...stopped short of that. Let the record show! Hannah considers herself the bottom of the Green Tribe. She's reverting back to where she began. That's her problem right there. But she remains eternally hopeful that things can turn around. She is Hannah Fierce!
Merge! Bret is happy. He was feeling "terrified." Can he trust Will & Jay? Adam is happy to make the merge. He realizes this is the important part of the game...
Merge! Zeke is happy. He's feeling "excited." Michelle is relieved! She feels pretty confident the remaining members of the Triforce can reunite and go all the way. (It should be noted there are now actually three members of the Triforce, for those keeping score and wanting to reconcile their concept of math with Millennials logic...)
Will bizarrely introduces himself. Sunday does, too. This figures, because this is now their distinguishing moment...
Chris isn't sure what to make of the new tribe. He's sticking by David and Zeke, and would love to recombine with Bret and Sunday. Zeke is giddy with all the possible fruitful links. He calls Jay the "locus of power." He then proceeds to sort of gush over him. He also seems to have an exaggerated sense of Jay's importance...No clue what just happened, Zeke?
Feasting on celebratory merge food! Adam wisely realizes he shouldn't fixate on it. He quickly finds an advantage instead, the ability to steal a reward after someone's won it. He realizes this has never happened before.
Taylor thinks he cleverly grabs extra food for himself. Bret notices. Adam notices. He decides to talk strategy with him. Apparently the events of the great betrayal have been put behind them. But Taylor doesn't agree (just not to his face). So I don't know if Adam's just screwed himself or what. Not a smart move. I don't really know what he was thinking...
People talk about Taylor's theft. That's the thing that'll work in Adam's favor, because Taylor has no idea people other than Adam noticed. So this could be Adam's second blindside of Taylor, if he realizes what's happening...
Jay and Taylor talk about Adam's plan to target Will (who like Sunday is only good for adding up votes). (To be clear.) Zeke continues to fixate on Jay. Taylor talks with Will. Will realizes he has to win immunity. Which probably won't happen, Will.
Individual immunity challenge! Balancing on narrow perches! Buckets of water perched above them! Good classic challenge. The big twist is that both arms are tethered this time. Sunday first out. No surprise. Chris out. Bret out. All three out in less than ten minutes. Jay out. Zeke out. Jeff points out David. Kind of surprising he's still in it, to think about him. The reason we spend so little time talking about David the last few episodes is that Hannah adequately covers similar territory. She drops out soon after Ken. We've reached twenty minutes. Bye Michelle. Taylor gone. David finally out. Adam surprisingly drops out. Really expected him to win, actually. Jessica will probably beat Will. They reach the hour mark. Then another thirty minutes. Damn! Will pulled it out. Now I'm kind of worried for Adam..."What a performance." What a bad move earlier, Adam...Way to pick a moment to do something, Will...Does Adam have it in him to dodge this bullet?
How is Will the youngest person to ever play? He seems like he's a lot older than some of those blood relatives and other such young'uns...Michelle immediately realizes it's stupid to vote out Adam. That's why I like her. Zeke talks to Adam about what's been spilled. He kind of suspected after Will stayed in the challenge "for three hours." (Was it three?) Adam talks with Chris, kind of the arbiter of second chances around here. David speaks! You don't even consider targeting Michelle, though! Adam doesn't think the Gen X crew has enough of a focus. He turns back to Taylor, of all people. Taylor concludes this is "a hundred percent about revenge," so it...really looks bad for Adam. David and Hannah together?!? She talks with Adam. "Weirdoes" and "cool kids" blocs this season, apparently, never mind the original premise...So, scrambling continues one way or another. He considers playing his hidden immunity idol.
Tribal council! It's brought up that Taylor stole food. He talked about being hungry. Someone suggests they're hungry enough to eat Jeff...It occurs to me that this season is kind of turning into another Borneo. Who's Rich Hatch??? This time, everyone thinks they're being pretty strategic, but are Jay and Taylor still kind of Team Captain America? David is speaking with ridiculous confidence these days. What happened to this guy??? Everyone seems pretty sure alliances will emerge in the open tonight. Adam once again states the obvious, about no one wanting to be the first voted out after the merge...It definitely seems a Millennial is going home one way or another. Adam chooses not to use his hidden immunity idol. Adam and Michelle get all the votes. Michelle loses. Darn! But this was a make-or-break moment for both of them. She chose to stick with the Triforce, which she was kind of maneuvered, after the shakeup, into, unfortunately. So does Adam have better footing? Only if he finally embraces it...
