Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X 1x12 "Slayed the Survivor Dragon" live blogging thoughts

Will basks in the glow of his big move.  Time will tell...Bret is less positive about Will's actions.  He calls Will a high school kid checking off boxes.  Bret talks to Adam and Sunday about David, Jay, and Will as the biggest remaining threats.  Hello!  Adam!  Blindspot, Bret...

Immunity challenge.!  Discs, balance beam, playing shuffle board...Will is terrible at this challenge, does not appreciate Jeff pointing it out...Comes down to Jay, David, and Bret...Jay just kills it, wins immunity.  He's still relatively under the radar, somehow.  Definitely a dark horse contender to win the season.

Ken talks about Jay being a target.  So there's that.  Jay and Will talk the need to eliminate Ken before David.  Or Will wants David gone, because he thinks David is an automatic winner if he reaches the finals.  David talks about scrambling, claims the most insecure he's ever felt is "right now."  Chatter continues to work against him.  But then Adam talks about Will's emerging threat.  Talks to Bret about it, targeting Will.  Bret sees this as a good idea.  Sunday, of course, agrees.  Adam next talks to Hannah, who is more hesitant about it.  "I'm torn up, as I always am, emotionally."  That's Hannah.  She talks about owing "more than one person."  Such as David.  Adam and Hannah are in fact the most dangerous people this season. 

Tribal council!  Jeff talks to Will about his big move.  Will attempts to deflect it by mentioning what Adam did.  David talks about "deep concerns."  Big change for a guy whose every moment was fraught with deep concerns at the start of the season!  Hannah and Adam both talk ambiguously about what's in their best interest moving forward.  Talk has turned against Will rather quickly.  Big moves are dangerous moves.  David talks about how significant they are.  Jay claims everyone there is a player.  Nope.  Not Sunday.  And until last episode, not Will.  Which is what they were all just talking about.  David and Will receive votes.  Will's big move costs him big, and he's voted out.  Waited way, way too long, Will, and tried to go way, way too big. 

Jay compares himself to the Black Plague; anytime someone plots with him they leave the game.  Adam apologies to him for lying about the vote.  Jay talks about their weird relationship.  He asks what Adam's end-game is, and Adam claims he won't go to the end with David.  They talk about Jay's hidden immunity idol.  He may also suggest that Jay will have to go.  Strange, strange relations this season...

Immunity challenge!  Solving a block puzzle, with a time limit via a pinball table...Which basically means not letting a ball drop while solving a puzzle.  It's also worth noting that the two stations cannot be seen at the same time, so you literally have to turn around to keep working at this one...Diabolical!  Ken thinks he's got it but's wrong...Adam actually starts helping Ken...Jay is not happy about that...Ken wins!  "That was fun but that was crazy."  Bret.  It's weird, but Ken is starting to look like Terry Deitz. 

Adam explains that he just didn't want David or Jay to win.  David explains how Hannah, Ken, and Adam are his key allies.  Hannah targets Sunday, who is valuable as a voter who can be convinced to vote.  I realize I just made that sound stupid, but she's absolutely right.  Adam talks to Ken about Jay's future.  He says he needs to vote for Jay tonight.  He suggests that if Jay plays his hidden immunity idol, David could theoretically go home.  Hannah continues to fixate on Sunday, making her the only person other than Sunday's family and acquaintances to do so.  Jay explains that Adam tries to strong-arm him into using his idol.  It's a dangerous game, Adam.  So far it's worked in your favor.  He then tells Jay about his mom's cancer.  Will this strategy work?  That's the ultimate sympathy card.  It seems to work.  They shed tears.  Jay says Adam is no longer a weasel.  Hannah talks about how this vote is crucial.

Tribal council!  Will looks ridiculously young when he comes out with the jury.  Did he look that young at the start of the season?  Jay talks about whether or not he feels vulnerable.  Bret tries to interpret what he said.  David talks about Jay as a free agent.  Jeff asks David as a big threat.  Adam talks about David's journey being jury bait.  Hannah talks about threats to win.  Jeff asks Sunday about her chances.  She thinks she can get votes.  She can't get votes.  Adam talks about the perception of the jury.  Jay uses his hidden immunity idol.  I really, really miss fake hidden immunity idols.  Where's the creativity, people???  ("It's a stick!")  David and Sunday garner votes.  Did Adam trick Jay?  Sunday is voted...out.  She mutters "dang it" on the way out.  Did she really think she had a chance to win?  The edit sure didn't!
