Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X is considered one of the best seasons of the show, featuring blindsides and a unique rock-drawing elimination. The season was filmed in the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji from April to May 2016. Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X premiered on September 21, 2016, and ended with Adam Klein winning and treating his castmates to a weekend in Las Vegas.

Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X was season 33 of the long-running hit show. This iteration of the series divided contestants by age for an adventure with fun characters and interesting twists. The season started by separating the new castaways by generation: Gen X, contestants born between 1963 and 1982, and Millennials, contestants born between 1984 and 1997.

The theme of Millennials versus Gen X was uncommon for the series, which usually names its seasons based on the location they're filming in. Based on the gimmicky theme, expectations for the season were low, but the outcome was surprising.

The Survivor 44 premiere introduced several new twists and advantages into the game, including the complex "Inheritance Advantage." The latest installment of the show is continuing the show's "new era" with a 26-day game and three starting tribes. Part of the show's new era has been the introduction of numerous unique wrinkles into the game, like the "Shot in the Dark" and "Choose Your Champion" advantages, and its latest, the Inheritance Advantage.

The Survivor season 44 premiere saw Chicago-based consultant Sarah Wade become the first recipient of the new tool, when she represented the Tika tribe on the first "Risk vs. Reward" journey of the season. The journey differed from previous seasons, as it forced the contestants to risk their vote for an advantage at least once, before having the option to risk another vote for a second shot at the advantage. Sarah lost one vote in her first attempt, but came...

Jonathan Penner‘s wife Stacy Beth Title has died of Als at age 56. The three-time “Survivor” player tweeted the sad news on Monday. Title was an Oscar-nominated director for “Down on the Waterfront” who continued to work after her diagnosis in 2017. “Survivor” fans will remember Title from her two appearances on the reality TV show. She visited her husband during the “Cook Islands” loved ones reward in 2006 (watch above), and the couple appeared virtually for a “CBS Cares” profile about Als during “Winners at War” in 2020 (watch below).

“When my wife Stacy was diagnosed with Als we found new meaning to the word ‘Survivor,'” Penner said last year. His wife’s story gained new traction when it was brought up on the island in “Winners at War” by Yul Kwon, Penner’s former co-star in “Cook Islands.”

Blindsides are one thing. Having your fate on Survivor decided by a single stone — that is another disaster entirely.

And that’s exactly what happened to Jessica Lewis when the 37-year-old New York state-based attorney found herself in the most untenable scenario any Survivor castaway can face at last week’s Millennials vs. Gen X, with several deadlocked votes forcing the competitors to randomly pick rocks out of a sack to determine who would stay and who would go.

Unfortunately for Lewis, she got the bum rock and saw her torch extinguished by host Jeff Probst after 30 days. Lewis spoke...
