Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X Power Rankings Round 13

Previously on Power Rankings…

In Round 12, Randy finished in first place with a total of 25 points, 10 bonus points for Jay winning immunity, 8 for Will being eliminated, and 7 for Sunday being eliminated. Martin came in second with 23 points, 10 bonus points for Jay winning immunity, 7 for Will, and 6 for Sunday. Julia finished third with 14 points. Martin remains in the lead with 172 points overall; Randy follows in second with 165 points, and Julia is last with 132 points.

The Finale Rules

We use the Gordon Holmes format of Power Rankings. Each week the three power rankers create separate rankings based on least likely to most likely to be eliminated. However, the finale works a little bit differently. The rankers will rank the six finalists in order of placement, and they will gain 2 points for every correct placement.

We don’t usually include the bonus points for the finale, but Randy suggested coming up with some bonus questions so that we can all still have a chance of winning – kind of ironic that Randy would be the most stereotypically millennial out of the three us.

Each bonus question is worth 10 points:

1. Who will receive the first confessional of the episode?

Randy: Jay
Julia: Jay
Martin: Jay

2. If an idol is found, who will find it?

Randy: David
Julia: Adam
Martin: David

3. Who will win the first immunity challenge of the episode?

Randy: Hannah
Julia: Ken
Martin: Jay

At the end of the season, the person with the most points will be named the Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X Power Rankings Champion.

Randy

165

Julia

132

Martin

171

David

David will be able to buy lots of therapy with his $1,000,000.00 check. The editors really fooled me in Episode 1. Congratulations, David!

Adam

His story is compelling, heart-breaking and inspiring... not to mention, he's played hard; Adam would be an amazing winner.

David

After 39-days, David reveals that he's Keyser Soze and masterminded the entire season. The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world he was a neurotic, middle-aged, bald sitcom writer.

Ken

I have enjoyed watching Ken this season, but he just didn’t get enough or complex enough character development to win. Ken got the quintessential “runner-up” edit if I have ever seen one.

Ken

I feel like Ken could have some solid jury support (cough, cough, Jessica). But next to Adam, his story doesn't hit home the same way.

Ken

Ken drones on about integrity and authentic relationships while the jurors roll their eyes more than Ciera Eastin listening to Andrew Savage give a leadership seminar.

Hannah

I’ve been saying for weeks that Hannah will reach the end and receive 0 votes. I still think she is a finalist, but I now think she gets a vote or two. Can’t wait to see her all glammed up at the reunion.

Hannah

Hannah will most likely end up being the goat. However, she is arguably the most savvy goat the game has ever seen - so props to Hannah.

Hannah

Hannah goes into FTC armed with a convincing argument but soon realizes she's perceived as a goat and in a panic starts talking about kittens and butts. She doesn't get any votes.

Adam

Anyone that wants to sit next to Adam at the end is an idiot. Well, a bigger idiot I mean.

David

I don't think this crew will let David make it to the end. He's constantly been referred to as threat which makes him a target.

Jay

Jay finally loses immunity, and the other three obviously boot him because he'd win if he makes FTC. Although, they'll probably be some fake tension with Jay trying to convince Hannah to force a tie against David.

Bret

Bret played a great game for being as gay as he is, but it has to end here. Can’t wait to have a beer with you one day soon!

Bret

At this point, I think even if Bret made it to the end, he couldn't win. He's been a fun character, but that's about it.

Adam

Jay wins immunity again, and Hannah becomes the swing vote between Jay/Adam and David/Ken. Hannah is ultimately swayed by David's endearing awkwardness and Ken's endearing abs.

Jay

If Jay makes it to the end he is a guaranteed winner. Placing Jay last among the Final 6 is my big move to win. I am betting that the producers slip in a “total luck” immunity challenge where being athletic and competitive like Jay is not an advantage.

Jay

He's an idol-less threat, with minimal allies left in the game. Unless he wins immunity, I'd say he's the next to go.

Bret

I'm thinking Jay wins immunity and David finds an idol (or fools everyone with a fake), and so the majority target Bret, realizing he has friends on the jury. Bret will deliver his final tribal question inebriated.

1st. Adam
2nd. Jay
3rd. Hannah
4th. David
5th. Ken
6th. Bret

They vote out Bret in 6th for some dumb reason.
They go for David but his fake idol ruse punks them all, so they vote out Ken instead because why would David play another idol on Ken at the last opportunity you can? He has to save himself.
David is voted out as the biggest threat in 4th.
Jay gets cocky while Adam plays to everybody’s heart. Adam pulls a shocker.

That’s what I’m reading from the edit + the gameplay.

Placing’s: Jay – Cause I feel like it

Hannah – Goat 1

Bret – Goat 2

Adam – Loses fire making to Bret

Ken – Jay has immunity and next biggest threat to Adam

David – Cause I don’t like him and he is the only one with a legitimate chance to win that I don’t like

Questions:

1. Who will receive the first confessional of the episode? Jay

2. If an idol is found, who will find it? Adam

3. Who will win the first immunity challenge of the episode? Jay

Puppies, Martin, Puppies. Not kittens!

My placings/predictions:

1. David
2. Hannah (I agree with Randy that she could get a stray vote or two)
3. Ken (He might get Jessica’s vote, but I could see him as zero vote finalist.
4. Adam (loses a fire challenge to Ken or David)
5. Bret (seen as too big a threat to win given he has many friends on the jury)
6. Jay (Ken’s legacy advantage gives him a leg up to winning immunity, depriving Jay of immunity and his place in the game).

David was really unfairly edited this season so people didn’t see the supporters he had on the jury. The edit made it appear like Chris was bitter at David, Will just wanted to vote for one of his close allies in the game, undermined the close relationship Bret and David had and the respect Bret had for David, and undermined Jessica’s support for David if he made it to FTC. The edit made it look like David couldn’t win at final tribal, when according to interviews after, David would have won against anybody easily, probably a close one if he was up against Jay, but David had Will and Zeke, and Bret, and all the people we already knew he had if he made it to FTC. David was the biggest threat at FTC.
