ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Lets get right to the cyclone. JEFF PROBST: It started the morning of day 1. But given the change in weather over the past several years, this isnt a completely unusual situation. Credit: Monty Brinton/CBS We often have storms circling us but they almost always end up passing us. So we took note, and I just asked him to keep us updated. The next morning, Greg showed me a map with the storm pointed directly at our island....

Its one of my favorite seasons, says Probst. This group of 20? We have so many returning players from this group that Id like to see play again. Credit: Monty Brinton/CBS It depends, obviously, on what happens and whom youre sitting next to. I think the theme of the season, in addition to great gameplay, is personal stories of growth. That is the most fulfilling part of the season for me....

What made you want to do it here and what did you make of the interactions that took place? I was happy to see David see it as an opportunity. The Millennials won the challenge and then asked to get fishing gear instead of the comfort items. Credit: Monty Brinton/CBS Do you think the Gen Xers made the right call in vetoing that trade? I definitely think Gen X made the right call....

Katrina Radke appears to have the perfectSurvivorresume. Was Katrina surprised Chrissy did not use the super-idol to save her? Who was it that picked the table maze that led to their challenge loss? And if she could change one thing about her game, what would it be? On if she thought she was safe heading into Tribal Council:“I knew. I was going home. I had packed my bags. Sometimes things can change at Tribal, but it was pretty clear before I got there....

She went from invisible to overbearing. Too strong, it seems. When he played the idol for Jessica, it spelled the end for Lucy. Credit: Monty Brinton/CBS Entertainment Does she regret her ultimatums to Ken and David? Does she wish wed seen more of her in the weeks leading up to her ouster? Was there a personal beef between her and Jessica that we did not see on the show? And do her husband and children not like her as much as she says they do?...

Mari Takahashi had dreams of a freakier and geekier Millennials tribe dancing in her head. How hard was it to be the first Millennial to go? Why does she feel she was targeted? Credit: Robert Voets/CBS And why does she think Hannah got tricked into turning on her? Here are some highlights from our chat. And this whole time Ive been like, How did it go down? Did it really happen?...

Michaela Bradshaw leftSurvivor: Millennials vs. Gen Xthe same way she came into the game all out. She forgot her shoes. But how does she feel now after watching it all play back on TV? Credit: Robert Voets/CBS Entertainment I was wondering, who are Bret and Sunday voting for? Because logic would say,if our plan is right they vote for each other. And so when I saw my name pop up I was like, What are they thinking?...

A hearty congratulations goes to… Sit the hell down, Bob Crowley! Thats right, take a seat, old man! Credit: CBS Entertainment But you are no longer the champion. But your fake immunity-idol-making skills have been officially put on notice! Thats because of one David Wright. But lets stick with David for now. So, in a way, I did win! you’re able to take all that personal growth garbage and shove it, mister!...

Still getting used to this computer thingy. Do I just keep punching these keys with my fingers like some trained monkey? How can I possibly figure any of this out? Credit: Robert Voets/CBS Im a Gen Xer! But these young whippersnappers with their Facebooks and their Tweeter and their Snapschat seem to be from another planet. And as Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer famously opined, their world scares and confuses me. What in the name of Kurt Cobain is an aging hipster to do?...

Rachel Ako was eliminated after the Gen X tribe lost the first immunity challenge. But the big news was the big storm. But they werent enough.

And did Gen X make the right choice in getting rid of Rachel?...

Lets begin with the end, as we dive deep into this second-hour Tribal Council. First off, lets set the table. Zeke was coming for David and David was coming for Zeke....

Zeke’s last stand Poor Will. Poor, poor Will. He wassodetermined to make a big move. Credit: CBS Entertainment And even more determined to get credit for it. He was sick of being treated like a boy when he wanted to play like a man! He made really dramatic proclamations like I didnt come here to be dragged as a goat. I came here to play, while pointing violently at his crotch for some reason!...

Hannah sees strength in taking out weakness What a weird season ofSurvivorthis has been. Think about it:Millennials vs. Gen Xhas had a ridiculous amount of lying, backstabbing, and blindsiding. So, what naturally comes with lying, backstabbing, and blindsiding? Credit: CBS Entertainment A lot of pissed-off people who were just lied to, backstabbed, and blindsided. The two are inexorably linked. But not this season. Sure, Zeke gave Hannah the business a bit after her early flip on Mari....
