Millennial Alliance

**Highest Ranked**: Igor (Runner-Up/20)

The Millennial Alliance (also known as the 'Millennials') was an alliance from Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X.

After entering the tribe switch with a numbers advantage, this alliance was formed with the intention of controlling the trajectory of the entire game. This appeared to work until the tribes merged, where they ended up turning on each other in order to forge a personal path to the end.

## History

### Pre-Formation

The orange Vanua tribe was formed on Day 1 of *Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X* containing seven Survivor veterans and three new players who were all Millennials. The tribe won the first two immunity challenges they had together whilst also building relationships, playing games and providing for the camp. Leading into a potential tribe switch, the entire Millennial tribe made a pact that they would work together no matter what and pick off their rivals on the original Gen X tribe.

### The Millennials Split

At the tribe expansion on Day 8, Dusk, Mac and Skyler were placed on the new Ikabula tribe against three Gen X women Gail, Tasha and Tatianna. The tribe was split along original tribal lines when they lost their first immunity challenge, where the Millennials wanted to go after Tatianna. The alliance assumed there would be a 3-3 tie at tribal council, but Tatianna switched her vote at the last minute and ended up eliminating herself. After the tribe attended a Double Tribal Council on Day 15, the Millennial Alliance had the majority but Mac decided to flip to work with the Gen X Alliance and Skyler was voted out.

Meanwhile, Fabian, Gabe, Jessica and Sarah were switched to the purple Takali tribe where they had a numbers advantage over the Gen X pair of Dimitri and Jayne. At the tribes first loss, the Millennials had the majority and were deciding whether or not they wanted to target Dimitri or Jayne. Dimitri approached the Millennials and threw Jayne under the bus by telling them that she had found the Takali Hidden Immunity Idol and would be using it at tribal council if she felt worried. This new information helped the Millennials with their decision making, where Jayne was blindsided and voted out with an idol in her pocket. After losing their second challenge, it originally appeared that the Millennials would pick off Dimitri. However, Dimitri recognised that two couples existed within the Millennial Alliance. He decided to play on Fabian and Jessica's fear by telling them that he was approached by Gabe and Sarah to flip the game. Fabian and Jessica without hesitation were suspicious of their allies because Sarah had been flirting with Gabe from the very beginning of the game. At tribal council, the Millennials split up and Sarah was blindsided.

### The Millennials Unite

The Millennial Alliance entered the merge on Day 20 in the majority against the Gen Xers. At the first merged tribal council, the Millennials had enough of a numbers advantage that they decided to split the votes between Dimitri and Gail. Though Gail played her idol, it didn't matter because Dimitri still received the most votes and was made the first member of the jury. The Gen X women then approached the Millennials and threw their own allies Michael and Peter under the bus. These two alliances formed a temporary voting group at tribal council, where they split the votes between Michael and Peter in order to eliminate Michael. The two rival alliances then returned targeting each other, where the Millennials decided they would be going after Peter. However, Aura worked with the Gen X Alliance to garner votes against Mac. When Mac found about this, he used an idol and Peter was voted out with the second highest amount of votes.

### Internal Chaos

The Millennials were uncomfortable with Aura's decision to flip and work with the Gen Xers, but she assured them that she was loyal to the alliance and apologised to Mac for going after him. The alliance moved forward with this information, where they agreed to target Patricia next. After accepting Aura's apology, Mac decided to cut the fat off the alliance with his closest allies Fabian and Igor. The trio decided to develop a split vote plan between Patricia and their target, Gabe. However, Dusk switched her vote from Patricia to work with the Gen X Alliance and blindside Aura. The Millennials didn't mind seeing Aura gone, but the failed blindside against Gabe deepened the mistrust between the alliance. Gabe managed to convince the Millennials to go after Mac, but he played an idol and work with the Gen Xers in order to get rid of Gabe.

The Millennials continued their numbers advantage at the Final Eight, but were struggling to maintain their unity as an alliance. Despite this, the five Millennials decided to go after Patricia again but she played her idol. The three Gen Xers had the power and they eliminated Jessica. The alliance was frustrated their plans were being ruined with advantages, but took the chance and voted for Gail. In a rare stroke of luck, the Millennials had the numbers and managed to vote out Gail. The plan was then to vote for Patricia, but she used her Legacy Advantage and Dusk was unanimously voted out. The alliance of Millennials was reduced to the tight trio of Fabian, Igor and Mac. However, Mac knew that it would be harder to differentiate himself from his allies if they were all in the Final Three. On Day 37, the boys voted for Patricia but Mac switched his vote and Fabian was voted out. Mac lost the final individual immunity challenge and was voted out because he deemed too large a threat to bring to the end. Igor ended as the Runner-Up against Patricia because her path to the end was most respected by the jury.
