As shown in the promo video which aired during the live reunion show for Survivor: Kaoh Rong -- Brains vs Brawn vs Beauty, the Millennials appear to largely be 20-something's who are criticized for their perceived laziness and self-entitlement. However, they seem to pride themselves on being creative, social and free.
Meanwhile, Generation X -- which appears to cover people from the ages of 30 to 55 -- have the reputation of being battle-tested and hard working, but the experienced individuals are mocked by the younger generation for being uptight, condescending and regimented.
The Amazing Race has also been renewed by CBS, however, it isn't coming back until mid-season. The date of its Season 29 premiere therefore has yet to be announced.
