Are we seriously already to Episode 7 of this season of Survivor? It seems like it was just yesterday when we were first introduced to the #FigTails show-mance, the same one that was finally up-ended last week when Jessica “Figgy” Figueroa was sent packing. And we are now closer to the end of the season than we are to the beginning, with the actual merge looming probably in the next episode or two. Jeff Probst promises that this week, the game will go “into a new gear” so let’s hope that new gear is not gridlock.
Revenge seems to be the mood of tonight’s episode, with Taylor now flying solo. He will definitely need to figure out how to assimilate and play his own game moving forward, or he looks to be the easiest remaining target. And remember in the era of the “voting bloc,” just because Adam went with Ken and Jessica to get Figgy out last week, doesn’t necessarily mean that will be the same alignment this week.

Here is the official synopsis from CBS on tonight’s new episode:
Episode 7 – “I Will Destroy You”– Two millennials attempt to put the past behind them and work together, and another castaway feels the heat when they’re interrogated about their true profession, on SURVIVOR, Wednesday, Nov. 2(8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
Analyzing this, it’s pretty clear the “two millennials attempting to put the past behind them” is going to be Adam and Taylor. Is it in Adam’s best interest though, to entertain thoughts of reuniting with Taylor? The Millennial Tribe as we know it is mainly in shambles, with Zeke having fractured off and Michaela a loose cannon who has shown she is playing an individual game rather than a team one. With Taylor on his own, would Adam not be better off latching on to Ken and Jessica, adding to the fact that they seem cut from more of a similar type cloth?
With no “big reveals” shown in the preview for this ep, this might be one of those “expected outcome” episodes, where there isn’t going to be that big of a surprise. The only thing that keeps me interested however, is Probst‘s promise of the game continuing to ramp up…what would have to happen in order for this season to go “into a new gear”?
“The Fans Have Spoken.” Last week I did not post a Preview article (sorry folks), due to the fact that I have a newborn (enough said). I have been checking and reading all of your comments though over the past few weeks, so let’s address them in this weekly segment. Overall it seems that nobody was more hated this season than Figgy, and her exit made the message boards smile ear to ear. Especially due to the fact that it could have been fan-favorite Ken who got the boot. Well Ken lives to fight another day. And while I happen to love Michaela, it seems the message boards feel mixed about her…some love her and want to see her as the Sole Survivor, others don’t like her current attitude, and others like her, but feel she is putting a major target on her back as the merge nears. What are your thoughts on the game? Be sure to add them to the message boards on this article AND on the Episode Recap article that will post later tonight!
TELL US – WHO WILL GET VOTED OUT TONIGHT? SHOULD ADAM STAY LOYAL TO THE MILLENNIALS OR SIDE WITH KEN AND JESSICA? AND WILL ANY IMMUNITY IDOLS COME INTO PLAY TONIGHT?
