Here’s a twist the Survivor castaways actually saw coming: Jessica “Figgy” Figueroa and Taylor Stocker are (gasp!) hooking up.
Perhaps blinded by love, the millennial duo don’t realize their fellow castaways are very well aware of their, er, alliance. So on the Wednesday, October 26, episode, Figueroa, 23, pulls aside Jessica Lewis to confess about the love connection, as seen in Us Weekly‘s exclusive sneak peek.
“I want to talk to you about something,” she tells the Gen Xer, who she became close with when the two generations were mixed together to form three separate tribes. “I haven’t told you this or Ken [McNickle] this because I was just kind of nervous, but I kind of have a thing with Taylor.”
Originally, the Nashville-based bartender wanted to keep the romance under wraps — and keep a target off her back. “That’s what freaks me out the most,” she tells the camera in the clip. “I don’t know if it’s going to be a good reaction or a bad reaction.”
As host Jeff Probst previously told Us, the young duo aren’t pros at laying low. “In typically millennial style, they’re not very concerned about hiding it, which baffles some of the other people,” the Emmy winner said. “I was amazed at the brazen nature of it, because typically on Survivor, people would go, ‘Wait a minute. That’s two votes. We’re going to get rid of one of you.’”
So how do her tribemates react? Find out in the video above!
Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X airs on CBS Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
