Good afternoon, and YES it is only Monday!!  I'm off to lay on the beach and pretend I'm on the kind of Survivor where the biggest problem is not making fire but cutting the limes for the gin and tonics evenly.

Paul was blindsided last time we talked.  Good.  His buddies Brett and Chris aren't happy.  Jessica tries to explain that their leader basically told them there might be a guys thing.  The mens are still angry and go off to whittle stuff.  Jessica starts wondering if getting rid of Paul was a mistake.  

Lucy doesn't trust Jessica.  She tells Sunday and Brett that Jessica is now pulling the strings.  She says Ken and Dave trust her and she can bring the numbers so they should let her lead them around by the short hairs.  Chris just wants Jessica gone.  

The M's are all hungry and start talking about seeing pig tracks AND HOLY AMAZING COINCIDENCE, there's a goat way up high on a hill.  What are the odds that would happen while the cameras are rolling??  All the cool kids run off to catch a goat.  Adam decides to instead spend time looking for an idol.  He does that thing Survivors do that creep me the hell out, thrusting their arms inside trees to feel around.  UGH, imaging what they are stirring up!!  He finds a map and realizes he has to keep looking.  

No goat is caught or hurt in the production of this episode.  

Bang, it's a reward challenge.  Race into the water, 2 from each tribe to grab a ring and them fight like hell until one tribe touches their goal post.  Wanna know?  Steak, sausage and a grill for the night.  It's basically a total shit show.  Although the pair of Chris and David actually do quite well.  The ladies get into it a bit and Michaela drops her top to get away from the scramble.  They do let her have her top back which I think is wrong.  Bottom line, Gen X wins reward.  

Zeke later exclaims "those guys are HUGE".  But Michaela is an Amazon woman.  And not the kind that sells and ships books overnight.  

Adam consoles himself with the knowledge that that was never gonna be his challenge.  He goes back to looking for the idol which has the clue "shell-tered".  He finds a giant clam shell on the beach with the patented Survivor logo and is rewarded with an idol.  Hannah sees him on the beach and asks "how's your idol search going??"  But we're unsure if she actually thinks he has one.  

Adam goes on to talk about his mom who has stage 4 lung cancer, making being on Survivor his biggest dream and his worst nightmare.  He talks about how excited she will be to see him find this idol.  Yea, that shit gets to me more than it used to.  

Dave, Ken and Lucy talk.  She refuses to give them any names unless and until they lost the immunity challenge.  She tells them she doesn't want to see them talking to anyone else about it.  Says it's Jess.  Ken gets all pissed off at the amount of rules and regulations Lucy gives them.  Thinks they have replaced one dictator with another.  

Immunity Challenge

Race over an obstacle course to a chair, which is pulled up and around a giant 3 level thingy with 30 numbers on boards.  They have to go up and around to get the numbers in order, stopping after every 10 to unload and switch people.  The Xers are in the lead after the number search and it's on to a giant multi word puzzle with 30 letters.  It's pretty hard since it takes over 45 minutes.  Jeff is all excited because his lab rats perform the puzzle differently.  The Xers actually moving letters around, the Mers figuring it out in their heads.  The millennial get it "Someone loses their fight tonight".  

Gen X is headed back to tribal.  Chris is planning to blindside Jess.  Lucy tells him that Ken and David are on board.  She proclaims herself a tiger mom who loves control and whose husband and kids apparently hate her.  Ken is pissed off.  "I'm done.  We're back on the bottom".  He decides that they should tell Jess and then bring in Sunday.  

Dave talks to CeCe and they decide it's Lucy.  Ken tells Jess that they want to blindside her and she doesn't totally believe it.  "Who says??"  "Lucy".  They tell her it's been decided and that she needs to talk to Sunday to get her to vote for Lucy.  Jess is suspicious  and goes to Lucy.  "Ken is telling me you are voting me out".  Jess tells Dave and Ken that she ran and told Lucy and they are shocked.  

Lucy ask Ken why.  He says basically, dunno.  Says you gave me a list of rules.  She declares that he's just like a girl, and that they have a snitch.  She also privately admits she probably did come on too strong and controlling.  

Big blow up.

Tribal

Dave, did the blindside bring the tribe together?  Nope.

Chris-we were upset and it's basically all chaos.

Jess: the 5 have been processing it but we're all still together

Lucy says it was like a bomb going off and now it's all insecurity and chaos.  Says she thought she was OK but Ken wants her out.

Ken agrees.  She ordered me around.

Lucy says that it's just that she's blunt.  Men can handle that....

Jeff points out that she's being a blunt bitch again.

Ken says he has wavered all day, which is what happens when there is disloyalty

Jess asks if she was supposed to just trust Ken?

David says something about anything can happen at tribal. 

Chris basically says that someone is gonna be the chump.

Vote.

Idol?  David gets up and says it was a pleasure to meet you all, and then plays the idol for Jess.

Jess gets 5 votes, don't count.  CeCe again gets a vote, and Lucy is voted off with 2 votes.  

Jess just sits there with giant eyes.....
