Reinventing the Game

**Reinventing the Game** is the eighth episode of *Survivor: Millenials vs. Gen X*.

## Story

### Day 21

Siga tribe wakes up after yesterday's Tribal Council. Arlo feels awful about voting out Howard.

Arlo talks with Bailey. He approaches her about working together at the merge. He tells her he's not sure about his alliance back at Gen X tribe, but he doesn't care about it. He wants to work with them. Bailey hugs Arlo telling him he's going to be fine and they have to see how it will look like when they will merge.

After Arlo's and Bailey's conversation, Raina runs to everybody and reads about a note that she has found in tree mail. It says they have to get their personal items and go on the boat. Everybody is happy about the merge that occurs today.

The Vula tribe spends some time with each other when suddenly they see two boats coming to them. It's Siga tribe and Totoka tribe coming to their camp. Warren jumps with happiness. Eli and Jurnee are totally shocked. Adrian waves to everybody.

Everybody starts to meet each other and some of them welcome each other once again. Wayne and Arlo pull out of the boat the chest with food, new buffs and information about the merge. They all celebrate and put on themselves new, black buffs.

The feast still goes on. People start to ask Totoka tribe how Seamus was voted out. Brandon says it was easier to vote out Seamus than Nevaeh, Abby or Sylvie because Seamus was working with Harleigh and they were making some drama back at Millenials. Warren listens what Brandon says about Seamus, because he was working with them at the beginning.

Later on, Warren talks with Eli. Warren says he thinks there's going to be something different than Millenials vs. Gen X because he feels like Totoka people are close, maybe even Arlo is working with Siga people and there's him, Eli, Jurnee and Adrian in the middle. Eli tells Warren he's 100% going to help Warren but he needs to talk with Sylvie and Nevaeh, because he used to work with them. Eli asks Warren about Lyla and Brandon. Warren says they're close, but he was not close with them, he was working with "the other side" which was Harleigh and Seamus.

Eli talks with Sylvie and Nevaeh about merge plans. Eli tells them that it seems to be Millenials vs. Gen X, but there's some people already working with Millenials and he thinks there's going to be some people working with Gen X too. Nevaeh agrees on that. She says they can't let Millenials have majority numbers, so it's good there's 7 Gen X people on the merge. Eli says they need to see if all Gen X'rs will vote with them, because he's not sure about Abby and Arlo.

After Sylvie's conversation with Eli and Nevaeh, she goes into the woods to calm down. She feels overwhelmed by the tremendous amount of information heard from people. After calming down under one of the trees, she notices a black bow and the envelope. She finds the Reward Steal. It's the right to steal one reward from another player was up for grabs at the merged tribe camp.

### Day 22

The merged Tribe, Taleitaka wakes up. Lyla, Bailey and Raina meet in the woods. Bailey asks about Brandon joining their conversation, but Lyla says it's going to be sketchy when four people will disappear. They hug and are happy to be together once again. Bailey asks Lyla if she's working with somebody else than with Brandon. Lyla tells Bailey she thinks she's cool with ladies from Totoka, but she's worried that it's going to be 7 Gen X'rs against 6 Millenials. Bailey says she's got Arlo, because he's not into working with Gen X people anymore. Lyla is happy about it. They shake hands. Raina says they need to wait to see who's the biggest threat out here. Lyla thinks it's good if somebody from Vula tribe goes like Eli, Adrian or Jurnee.

Eli and Jurnee talk with Abby and Arlo. Eli explains to them that the whole Gen X tribe is going to stick together with this first vote. Eli mentionts Adrian, Sylvie and Nevaeh still working with Gen X and also Warren joining them. Jurnee says it's for sure six people and they need seven to have majority. Eli says it would be terrible if one of the Gen X people would join Millenials. Abby says it's obvious they need to have majority. Arlo shakes Eli's hand and tells him he will also vote with Gen X'rs.

Later on, Sylvie talks with Lyla. She tells Lyla that she's going to work with her as she promised back at the Totoka tribe. Lyla tells Sylvie she has never doubted Sylvie's actions. Sylvie says Nevaeh will vote with Gen X against one of the Millenials. Lyla says she has heard rumors about being back to Millenials vs. Gen X thing. Sylvie says they want to convince Abby and Arlo to vote with them, because Abby was never close with Gen X'rs. Lyla adds that Arlo is now playing with Millenials, because Bailey has told her that. Sylvie is glad about it. Lyla wonders who should go home. Sylvie says it should be Eli, because he's controlling everyone. Sylvie also mentionts Warren being in the alliance with Eli. Lyla tells Sylvie it's the best thing they could have done that they're working together, because they have all the information they need.

### Day 23

Later on, Lyla meets up with Abby. She asks Abby how she sees today's vote. Abby tells Lyla she thinks it's going to be Millenials vs. Gen X once again. Lyla tells Abby she doesn't think so. Lyla tells Abby that Arlo and Sylvie are going to vote with Millenials against Eli, Jurnee or Adrian tonight. Abby is shocked. Lyla says she trusts her group and she trusts Abby and Sylvie too. She needs to get to know Arlo more, but she thinks this alliance is so good and has a potential to make it far. Abby asks Lyla who is going home tonight. Lyla tells Abby it's going to be Jurnee, because they think Eli's got the idol.

After Abby's conversation with Lyla, she goes to Eli, Jurnee and Adrian to talk about today's elimination. Eli thinks it's good that they vote out one of the girls from Millenials. Abby says that they know about everything; that Warren is playing with them and also Arlo and Sylvie are going to vote with them. Jurnee is totally shocked. Eli and Adrian are mad. Adrian doesn't understand who have told Millenials all the things. Abby says Lyla has told her it was Arlo. Abby lies telling that it was Arlo's plan to vote against Jurnee tonight. Eli thinks it's going to be something totally different than he imagined. Abby says they should do Arlo tonight. Eli thinks it's for nothing anyway, because they still have 7 votes against their 6. Jurnee asks Abby is she sure that they're voting for her. Abby says yes, because they're scared that Eli has got the idol. Jurnee says she has the idol, so she will use it. Adrian jumps with happiness about this fact. Jurnee shows them her idol telling they need to behave like they think it's going to be all Gen X'rs against Millenials, but it will be a 6-0 vote. Eli tells Abby to act like she's with them and tell them that they're voting against Lyla tonight. They shake hands.

At Tribal Council Jurnee uses her Hidden Immunity Idol on herself negating 7 votes against her. Arlo is blindsided going home by a vote of 6-0.
