Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen-X Season Finale Blog Party - December 14
As the Survivor season finale airs here on the East Coast, I'll be live-blogging with the major events. The season finale is two hours followed by an hour-long reunion show. As always, the real party is in the comments area. Please feel free to join in on the fun! It's been a good season with many blindsides, twists and turns!

Survivor fans ready?
Jeff tells us that we'll have a sneak peek at the cast for the next season. The castaways are all gathered with him to watch the finale together and then do the reunion show. I've heard rumors that Michaela is in the next season.
We're starting with a look back on the season and a look at the remaining castaways.
Jay is regretting playing his idol for nothing. He figures he'll look for a new one tomorrow. Bret is shocked they didn't go with the plan to get rid of David. He's sure either Jay or David will win and they both need to go. David thinks he needs to create some chaos. He doesn't think there are any idols left in the game, so he's been working on making a fake idol ... for someone else to find.
Jay spots the fake idol and thinks it's real. Oopsie, Jay!
Whoa! Ken opens up the Legacy Advantage left to him by Jessica -- immunity at the next Tribal Council. He's keeping it a secret.
Immunity Challenge time ...race through obstacles collecting bags of tiles, solve a combination lock, retrieve a key to puzzle pieces, solve puzzle. The first to finish also wins reward -- a steak with all the fixings.
Jay got the combo and left it showing ... David goes to look, then they all do.
DAVID wins Immunity (and steak)! Ooo ... Jay takes over the reward and takes David because he beat him. He can choose one other, goes for Adam because Adam gave him the Reward Takeover Advantage.
Jay tells them that he will take them both to the final three. He wants them to take Bret out. David is tempted. Of course, David knows that Jay's "idol" won't save him. Ken is worried that Jay will win and they -- Bret, Ken and Hannah -- think Jay should go. Adam thinks they should leave Bret in. Oh my ... looks like we night head into another Tribal not having a clue who will really go out.
Tribal Council time. Again, good questions posed.
Suspense ...
The tally:
Wait! Jay plays the fake idol! Oopsie! Ken pulls out his Legacy Advantage and claims his immunity.
Ken, Jay, Jay, Jay.
He takes it best of anyone I've ever seen! But Jay is now on the jury.
Right into Immunity challenge. David is worried ... it's swimming. Maneuver a buoy through obstacles, take wood pieces over teeter-totter and solving a puzzle.
KEN wins Immunity!
Of course, Adam wants David to go home. He thinks he has both Bret and Hannah on his side, but wants to find an idol. He thinks if he doesn't find one, David must have it. Meanwhile, David thinks that Adam must go and that he (D) has Hannah and Ken to keep him safe.
Adam indeed does find an idol. Uh-oh, David. Adam tells Bret he has an idol. Then he tells Hannah! Stupid move. She can switch Ken's and David's vote to Bret.
Off to Tribal we go!
The tally ... Adam plays his idol.
David, Bret, David, Bret, Bret.
Bret is OUT! He doesn't take it as well as Jay. He told David congratulations and told them the rest of them lost a million dollars.
David is overjoyed that Hannah and Ken saved him. Adam not so much. Adam tells Hannah she made a big mistake. He's so fearful of David winning that he's obsessive about it.
Immunity Challenge time ... the final one of the season. Long pole to maneuver bowl through a channel. Thirteen bows placed wins. Tallest stack in thirty minutes wins if no one gets to thirteen. It's between Ken and Adam. Gah. Ken, then Adam, lose their stacks.
Yikes! It's tie between Ken and HANNAH. They do a tiebreaker five minute version of the challenge.
KEN wins the Final Immunity!
David thinks Ken will remain loyal to him. He's thinking the worse case scenario will be a fire-making challenge against Adam. Hannah thinks she needs to make Ken target David. Again, nothing is a sure bet.
Penultimate Tribal Council -- Jeff pumps up Hannah. He asks about David's pitch to Ken. David talks loyalty, honesty and integrity from Ken.
The tally --
David, Adam, David, David.
GAH! David is gone. He takes it well, though.
Final Tribal Council time.
Taylor - His vote isn't set, wants them to pitch. Hannah talks about her strategic cut-throat game, went from being a mess. Ken said two sides to the game, human being, moved forward. Adam says he played the best game of the three remaining.
Sunday - Tried to be adaptable and flexible. Were you? Did you play like a millennial or Gen-Xer. Ohh ... Ken makes a flipper comment. Adam thinks he's a combination of both. Hannah claims that she made decisions that she thought were right for the time.
Jessica - Ken, put on a pedestal for loyalty and honesty. You took out David. Ken says his number one alliance was his daughter (in tears).
Will - Respects David for voting Ken out. Adam, reason you couldn't get your moves to work? Adam blames Hannah. Hannah speaks up for herself.
Zeke - Evolution of Survivor strategy. Ken did nothing to evolve the game. Adam, Hannah what did you do to evolve it? Adam did some double-talk. Hannah actually pleas a good case for herself.
Michelle - Hannah, how many votes on the wrong side? Michaela only. Adam - why your victories overtake your blunders? He blames Hannah again.
Bret - Ken, when did you really start playing? Ken says at the start when he felt he was at the bottom of Gen-X. Adam, how long did it take for you to vote out David? Adam blames Hannah, but didn't answer the question.
Jay - Adam, we're brothers why didn't you use me to take out David? Tears. You were in the way.
Chris - I'm a trial lawyer, never served on a jury. He talks about David as the most dangerous person in the game. He tells Adam he should win because he changed Ken's mind.
David - Experience was transforming. What evolution did you undergo? Hannah says what we'd expect. Ken was socially awkward, ticks and twitches, talks about his daughter. Adam personal dream, two years ago applied with mother, cries and tells of his mother's cancer.
Jay obviously votes Adam as he says "Love you, buddy." after voting.
It's onto the live part in Los Angeles.
The final tally:
Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam.
Adam wins. Jeff says it was a clean sweep, unanimous.
I know from news reports that his mother passed away a day or two after filming ended. So, she never knew he'd win it all. My gosh, she died an hour after he got home. It's a sad tale. He's now involved in Stand Up to Cancer. His mother never smoked, always lived a healthy life, yet died of lung cancer.
The Bret/Zeke "we're gay" bit comes up. Then the Hannah crush on Ken. Onto Michaela ... did she know how good she was? Nope! Ohh ... now we know why Figgy dropped Taylor due to something on the outside world she didn't know .. he has a new baby.
Jeff promises us familiar faces on next season.
Next season -- Fiji. Most competitive ever. Survivor: Gamechangers. And, yes ... Michaela, Tony, Tai, Caleb, Cierra, Cirie, Sandra, Ozzy! It will premiere in March.
Also in it are Aubry, JT, Zeke and Malcolm.

~ * ~* ~* ~* ~* ~*~ SPLASH ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~
Hellooo!!!! Hello to Ms Jackie and everyone :)
I have grilled chicken kabobs with peppers, pineapple & mushrooms.
Yes, I brought my good friend STELLA!
(and catnip for Vincent!)
Survivors ready??
Yay... it's Finale Partay time. I hear Petals is bring chicken kabobs so I grilled some veggies to go along.
Bar is fully stocked with wine, beer and liquor. Name your poison....
~~~~SPLASH~~~
Hot Joe from last year was doing a live Facebook interview with the cast earlier, homina homina
Hi Jackie and Vincent. Hi Becky. How are you feeling?
Jackie, thank you so much for blogging for us, we appreciate it SO much!!!
Hey Becky, Jackie, Petals and all that follow :)))
Hi Petals!!!
Jackie, thank you for hosting us -- again. Thank you for giving us a fun, stress free place to meet. It means a lot.
My channel is running places closed or delayed for tomorrow because of snow. I wish they'd get rid of it!
LOVE that this show hasn't waned in popularity after all these years...
Hey Penny!
Penny, I have a niece who flew from Ft. Worth to Buffalo and now has to drive two hours (plus with the snow) to Erie. Wouldn't want to be in her shoes tonight.
~~~SPLASH~~~~ Howdy everyone!!
Lots of Christmas cookies and a cherry cheesecake as promised!
Let the backstabbing begin!
SueGee on the LeftCoast
Hey, Petals, Monty and Penny. Penny, I still feel like the bottom of a birdcage, but getting better. Thank you for asking.
Hey, SueG
I'm rooting for Ken, Dill and Jay tonight... don't think Hannah and Brent/Brett whatever have a chance.
oh no, sorry you're sick Becky. There is a terrible bug going around. :(
GO KEN DOLL for the win!
Agree, I am rooting for the same, Monty
I was out of the pool with Sunday last week. Who here is still in the running?
Yes, Becky... hope you get to feeling better soon!!
YUM! Yay, hey SueG!!
Me neither Monty. I've been snowed in before in Buffalo. When I was single I used to fly in to Buffalo all the time to get home for Christmas. I used to get stuck all the time. LOL
Hi, everyone!!
Phone charged! Ready for the finale!!
I have a bottle of Pinot Grigio - magnum size!
Ken Doll!!!!
I'm shocked that Bret is gay; I must've missed it during that ep.
'Tis the season for flu and colds... I've been trying to stay away from crowds!
I'd rather see Brett go. I don't like him that much.
Fake idols rarely if ever work. @@
I have some wings cooking in the oven (too rainy for the BBQ) Any flavor requests? Wish the wing place was closer for a box of take-out
ditto Penny, Brett can go any time. And Hannah too.
Yes, he had a nice chat with Zeke on that one reward, Petals.
Petals, Bret told Zeke when they were on a reward trip
gmta
oh no!! This is TOO twisted!
Oh, no... Jay, you have to know that is fake. It looks nothing like the one you had, UGH!!
Love the fake idol!!!
oh Jay is gonna feel like a real turd in a little while.
I like Adam, too. I know he's a little aggressive
Boy, is Jay going to be surprised!
Howdie, tbc. I'm still getting used to the Terry Connors. Good to know ya now... I'll send you friends request and you'll be able to tell who I am, LOL
Where is JOE??????
Monty and Petals, I am with you on who I want to win. Dill has really grown on me. He will come out of this a winner, even if he isn't the money winner. I wouldn't be upset if Adam wins, isn't he the one with the ill mother?
I want Brett gone. Is he really gay. I know he picked up on the other guy, but thought he just said he knew what to look for.
I really don't want my pool person Jay to win.
Jay's my blog pool pick.
Hey, Terry.
AWESOME advantage, thank you (my pool chick) Jessica for leaving it to KenDoll.
I didn't like Jay when he was with the yuck duo, but he's grown on me and played better once they were gone. It's a three way toss for me.
I hate when they do it like this. They send them back to camp, only to watch the winner eat a steak. LOL
Becky - yes, Dillweed Dave really did prove himself. He apparently has overcome many issues to make it this far, so he would be a deserving winner.
Bret may be really gay, but he's also kind of a jerk, so... he can go any time.
Yes, Adam has the sick mom. But so does Jay. :(
Hannah seems to be the one that they all want to take to the end to secure a win.
Hi Everyone! So we're going from 6 to final 3 tonight. 3 hours, I might be in & out at times.
Penny, I bet the winner will be able to take someone with them.
Good evening everyone =)
I am still in the running, but I have Hannah and don't think she has a chance to win. I actually thought I would be out of the pool the first week and could get a re-assignment. =)
Everyone in the path of the storm stay safe.
Thank you Jackie for all you do and putting up with all of us. =)
I want to see someone else to win food. I do not want the same ones win who have won in the past.
Please, not Brett. He has won so many food rewards.
Dumb, dumb, dumb. Shows his age
Hi David!!
Go Dillweed!!! Poor Jay, but he did it to himself. sigh
Can't believe Dave won, OMG!
Wow!!
Thanks, Monty!!
That was nice... good job, Jay!
Ohhhhhhh - another snakey twist! Geeminy! Wow, wow, wow, what a season.
I love the twists in this season.
this is sooo hard to watch, knowing what we know!
STELLA!!!!
anyone else?
Hey Homie... how cold is it up there? Hey David... great to see everyone here tonight.
Jay messed up with the puzzle, but took the reward. Thankfully he did keep David on the reward.
Hey, David. Hey, are you guys staying warm where you live?
Petals, what do we know? Sorry, my mind is mush. Did you mean the legacy thing?
I forgot Jay had that. I wonder how mad the others are now?
I think she means he has a fake idol, Becky. Hopefully he isn't suckered into using it now. WOW
DANG, that's a lot of food on empty stomachs. They'll all be sick.
Hey Monty it's about 20 degrees right now, going down in the teens over night, & single digits tomorrow. Plus the windchill & more snow. Winter has arrived!
I don't have a 'horse' in this race, but of the six left I think I'll go with Ken for the win.
Same here minus the snow, Ed. Went to work this morning and it was 22*. It's already lower now so I'm hunkered down watching the fireplace and enjoying Survivor. Thank goodness I'm off work tomorrow.
I'd rather have Bret leave. I think it's be a mistake taking out Jay and not Bret. JMO.
Not Ken, not Ken
Agree Penny
I don't have my person in the race either. I want to see Ken or Adam win. This is a tough. Jay is a risk, but so is Brett.
yeah, it is 17* here now, but no snow in sight :( If it's gonna be this effing cold, can't it at least be pretty & white?
I love how twisted this season has been; we never know what is gonna happen or who will do what.
Get rid of Bret. I have not liked him from the beginning. His attitude just rubs me wrong. lol
Me too Dave!!
Hannah and the boys...
5 Guys & A Hannah! About to be 4 Guys & a Hannah??
Gome home Brett.
Jessica's eyes look so much better. They do not look infected and bulge out.
OH NO!!!
Toooooo funny!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL - that was just toooo funny.
Hi Ed!
(omg, did you guys see that Lane Kiffin left Bama???)
Here comes the fake idol...so sad.
Wow, there went Jay's vote for Dill in the F3
#WOW! My words exactly!
Classic!!!
Well, he took that well. God bless his heart :)))
I hope Jeff lets Jessica & Mikayla come back next season.
Crap. I would have rather seen Brett go. Dang.
Did Ken really need to use his now?
Good sport, good way to go out. WTG Jay!
Now, I say he will vote for Dill if he's in the F3!!
He took it well.
I think it was good for tonights tribal only, but I am not sure...
Not sure, Ed. I don't know if he had to use it on day 36 or he could have held onto for later. I guess we'll find out in the after show. hmmm
He has to use it by day 36, which was that day, I think.
Petals - Kiffin is something I can't say on this venue LOL...but he sits right next to Harbaugh on my dislike list. He messed with the Raiders!!
Petals yea Kiffin 'rolling' out of Bama!
Jackie said Ken had to use it at the next tribal council in the blog. Show doesn't come on here for another 15 minutes so don't know myself.
I agree with you Sue, I'm so disappointed that he is leaving bc he is SO GOOD.
But he wasn't happy being Robin to Nick's Batman.
Hi folks
C'mon KEN - you got this one!
Thanks everybody for the answers. I was hoping Ken could sit on it
Bwahaha... SueGee!! Agree :)))
Joe is here!! Hi Jooooooooeeee! xoxoxox
Ed, I wondered the same thing...
Adonis Belt...
You know ALL of them will take Hannah if the get the chance. Perfect goat even though she did cause some big things to happen. Just don't think she stands a chance.
Yes, love that Adonis Belt, TBC.
C'mon, Ken - slow & steady, baby!
Go Ken doll
David must've made a deal with the devil before this game - he has some incredible luck
Darn, come on Ken!
See what I mean??? Hannah the goat!
Hannah should just 1 tile @ a time LOL!
Yes!!!!!
K!!!
not a participation trophy - KENNNN DOLLLL!!!!
LOVE THAT!!! Survivor anti-PC puzzle :)))
YES!!! KEN!!!
Adonis, baby, Adonis!
Send Brett home!
MOnty, me too! Love that message, perfect for the Mille crowd.
Now to figure out who should go next.
Second chance to get rid of Brett, Do It This Time!! lol
yes Becky, send Brett & his attitude home! Normally, I dig the cops that are on Survivor, but he has just been a jerk all season (IMO)
Did you all hear about the 19 year-old who wa arrested at Trump Tower earlier in the week?
Petals, I usually pull for cops too, but have not liked Brett the entire season. He turned me off from the very first.
So who's it going to be? Bret, David or Adam. No way will they get rid of Hannah.
So, I forget. Does Dill have another idol? Now I'm wondering myself, lol
No, but I did hear that Kanye Whathisname went to see Mr Trump! HAHAHA! What a suck-up.
I guess Dillweed just answered my question and Adam finds another idol. What a season!!!
Dang, he did it. WTG Adam.
Between David and Brett now. Get rid of Brett people.
I wondered if it made national news. The kid who was arrested graduated with my daughter!! He had many weapons and a firecracker in his backpack! Yikes!!!
oh no, TBC! Pretty scary!
OMGosh! What a lucky guy! Yes. But, who will he put down as a name? If all the names go to Adam, his will only count. If he's smart, he needs to take out Brett. He thinks Brett is his friend, but he is not.
My pool guy has never gotten this far, so... GOOOO ADAM!!!
Hi everyone!!
We were out to dinner, so I'm jumping in late again.
That means Bret will go. See Hannah is a little pot stirrer :)))
Hey Sharon! Better late than never!
This will be so interesting. Can't wait to see what they do.
wow - another crazy power shift/twist ! Go ahead, Hannah - take your one moment of making a difference this season, bless your pea-pickin lil heart.
This has been a dream season for the jury to watch the tribal council, LOL
Hi Sharon!
STELLLLLLAAAAAA!
I hope so, Monty.
Hmm. Very true...
I want another blindside!
here we go
YES!!!
oh man! He wasted his idol !
Hope it's Bret!
Yes!!!
Hannah just lost any chance at winning this game
WOOOOHOOOOO
Dill lives to season another day!
YES!!!! WTG Hannah!
Now...3 Guys & A HAnnah. I swear David has nine lives and used most of 'em!
Adam is choking on dumbas* sandwich right about now.
He had to use it tonight, Petals. No idols at final four...
Yes, Ed - I think Dave is secretly a leprechaun or something.
YES, YES, YES!!!! Go get a beer, Brett!
I do not think Hannah was going to win any way. But, I think she was following lead with Ken and Dave.
oh, ok. Thanks friend. :)
I seriously wondered how this season would turn out at the outcome of it, but it's been fabulous. :)))
It has been a pretty good season. Not a ton of heavy drama. But there was great humor and some really memorable and unusual tribal councils. I'm looking forward to the reunion show. I don't mind any of those 4 winning.
This he been a great season so far!!
This has been one of the best seasons ever!!!
Not Ken!!!
Are they going to go to juy with 3?
The only better would be to make it go to a fire starting challenge, LOL
Another challange for Hannah to lose!
Yes, SueGee... final 3 this year
Yes - GREATEST season in a looong time! Love it!
KEN for the WIN!
Come on Ken. You've got to do this!!! Who has the steadiest hand, though?
Look at that beautiful water - what a pretty beach.
I still miss TAR - but it is coming soon!!
Ken why didn't you vote for David???? Disappointed, from Kansas and from your home Pottawatomie county Kansas. This isn't the good old buddy system, it's a game to win! Wamego is sad.
Hey, quit ragging on my pool goat, Hannah. LOL
Ken or David probably deserve the win the most. David has come a long way as Jeff said at the beginning.
OMG that wind!!!
Dang it!!!!!!
Why did he think his stack was somehow immune to the wind?
YES!!! Teach you, turkey!
Hi Bud! We're neighbors, I'm in MO!
Patience, Ken! C'mon Adonis Belt!
Hannah is shaking like a leaf
OMG! WOW!
Ken Doll!!!!
OMG....this is ca-RAZY people!
STELLLA!!!
Has Hannah been sandbagging??
I can't believe that Hannah is in it!
LOL, Ed. I think she might have been :))
She could do this.
Slow and steady
KEN DOLL
YES!!!!!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Ken's the man!
Make fire at FTC... please :)))
Ken deserves the win!
ADONIS
Wow, what a competition.
WTG!!!
I don't care who else makes it. Ken was an outsider. I'm worried that if they take David, Brett and Chris will talk others in to voting for him.
