Paul seemed to be at or near the top of his tribe, but after the women got spooked in Survivor: Millennials Vs. Gen X Episode 3, he was sent home.
After listening to Bret and Chris whine, there is concern that maybe they made a mistake getting rid of Paul. Lucy throws Jessica under the bus to them.
For the reward challenge, they will race out to grab rings and then back to a flag pole while the other tribe tries to stop them. Reward is food. Michelle sits out for Millennials. Chris ties up Jay and Adam, allowing David to take the 1-0 lead for Gen X. As the other tribe sort of hangs out, Figgy and Michaela tie the score. The Millennials think they are a lot more fit, but they are no match for Ken and Bret, who retake the lead 2-1. After Michaela takes her top off, she again drags the ring to tie the score. Chris and David are the odd couple but manage to score again to win reward.
Adam stumbles upon a clue to the hidden immunity idol. Even without the clue, these don’t seem that difficult to find, so it is only a matter of time before he finds the idol. Then Hannah finds him and asks him how his idol search is going.
Now that she’s already got Bret and Chris onboard, Lucy aggressively tells Ken and David that they have to target Jessica, too, and warns them not to speak to anybody else.
The immunity challenge requires them to lift one team member on a chair to a giant board to gather numbered bags for a puzzle. Adam sits out for Millennials. Chris weighs a lot more than Figgy, but that doesn’t stop his tribe from opening up a lead. Ken and David keep going at that pace, but it will as usual come down to the puzzle. They’re still trying to solve it at the 20 minute mark. And at 45 minutes. Millennials eventually win immunity.
Ken wants to flip Lucy’s plan around specifically because of how she talked to them. Jessica should be easy to encourage, but they need a fifth. That makes Sunday the swing vote in his mind, but instead Jessica warns Lucy about Ken. That makes Jessica the easy vote. It’s not like they are dumb enough to get rid of Ken. That sort of stupidity has happened before, but it is rare.
And yet, David decides to play his idol to save Jessica. Nothing like protecting someone who just tried to blow up the plan of one of your closest allies.

With 2 votes, Lucy has been voted off the island, and basically everybody in the tribe has been blindsided, including Ken who decided to side with Lucy. I’m not sure what to make of this weirdness. Perhaps Jessica will trust them now, but Ken has already been burned once.
