Exactly ... it's just another variation of "young versus old". Every generation, when young, goes through a phase where the older generation rolls their eyes at them from negative stereotypes. Baby Boomers were hippies. Gen X were slackers. Now it's the Millennials turn. I'm Gen X, and you can be sure if things like youtube, Facebook, Twitter and the like were around back then we'd have been all over it.

No. I've been caught outside during a microburst. It's like a mini-cyclone. Rain hits you so hard it stings. Wind can knock you down. The area I was in sustained enough damage to be mentioned on the news. When I finally got home I had to dry everything in my wallet. I was so cold and wet, it felt like I had jumped into a lake. And I was only in it for 10 mins. Believe me, the evac shelter might've been uncomfortable but at least you're not in the middle of that cyclone.

Yeah, I noticed the Gen-Xers didn't finish their shelter either. Maybe since the Mils won the challenge, they edited for balance?

There have been challenges with those kinds of decisions before, but the "Legacy Advantage" is something new that could be interesting. Unlike HIIs and normal advantages that can put targets on player's backs, this could make the holder a more attractive alliance partner.

The coming attractions for next week:
Spoiler:
crap, maybe it's a "swerve" but I can't imagine how someone having a heart attack scare could possibly be allowed to stay in the game

Sadly the "theme" annoyed me even more than I thought it would. Not only are a few of the players barely older or younger than each other despite being on the "other side", they were clearly cast for something other than their age anyway. Were all these people rejects from the blue collar-no collar season? Sure seems like it! Speaking generally, this might be the weakest cast they have ever had.

The Mil tribe will likely dominate at challenges and we will have a quick merge. The X tribe seems to have only the one guy that is as fit as anybody on the Mil tribe. The X tribe doesn't even seem to have any mental game stand outs. The other guys on the X tribe look like they might not be able to survive rougher challenges. Some medical evacs may be in their future.

We did love the couple twists they added. Hope there are more "future idols" out there for people to find/use and that most (if not all) challenges have a "shortcut" to them. If not, the X team is TOAST!

The Gen-X guy who covered his ears(?!?) and was afraid of his own shadow is toast. Looks like he applied for Big Brother and was sent over to Survivor instead.

Finally saw the premiere last night. That guy David and his paranoia about getting voted out started to get on my nerves. He has no chance if he's going to keep losing his mind thinking everyone is out to get him.

And Rachel apologizing during tribal....I mean C'mon. To me that just showed she was weak and insecure. Hence, automatic vote out.

That guy Zeke who is part of the Milennials was an interesting character and he's only "28"
