Survivor: China

[JerkFace]

The poker player he better be careful if he's really playing lazy as he claimed he is. He got one vote last night, if not for the Ashley and Dave arguments he may have found himself going home last night.

the poker player is on the tribe that won immunity. dave got the only non-ashley vote last night.

Oops, you are correct. Now I know why my girlfriend looked at me funny when I said I was surprised Jean whatever only got one vote.

 

[Russ Smith]

I can't believe they didn't vote off Courtney after her pathetic display in the
immunity challenge?

I think Leslie was just too happy with the other tribe and that made her a target but courtney is a HUGE liability right now.

Too early to be keeping weak players for the end of the show.

I Think My Left Leg Weighs More That That Courtney Chick

 

[nashman]

That pathetic effort alone should have been reason enough to send her home. Has there ever been a more pathetic looking attempt to do ANYTHING on Survior on any season than that? How the hell did this freaking chick even get on Survivor what a complete joke!

 

[outoftheashes]

Yeah...it actually made me mad to watch it. I have never seen less effort wit a worse attitude. She sucks and should go home. Leslie, however, should never have started talking about how great the other team was. Praising the enemy will get you every time. She should have just kept quiet.

 

[Angel]

Leslie was just so anxious to let everyone know about the Christians on the other team. When will Survivors ever learn, dress appropriately for the outdoors from Day 1, no matter what and just don't bring up your religion. I don't mean don't practice your religion or abandon your faith but for goodness sake no matter what you say or how you say it you ARE going to offend someone, and that someone just may be in a position to vote you out.

Poor Courtney, she was attacking her bamboo with the flat of the machete and asking “How are they doing that?”. Well sweetie they were using the blade, you know the sharp part? Sawing seemed to work for her in the end but she sure looked sad making the attempt.

Is anyone else getting annoyed by Todd? He reminded me of a little gnat, following everyone around thinking he could get them to vote his way, with no one listening to him, and then punking out on his own in the end.

I found it especially funny that they were bringing Aaron in as their "speaker" to do their bidding and then ended up folding to the first thing he suggested. Who is the leader and the follower now. Last episode, I believe, Todd had some interviews where he was talking about how clever he was and why his moves so far were so genius. I find that cleverness typically needs no explanation, it kind of stands on its own. Him and Courtney are clearly the most irritating tandem on this show.

Every season I am amazed how the producers can find a dozen or more people who: have never watched this show, or have no understanding of how the game is played and are completely unprepared for "surviving" in this element.

The great thing about this season is, the producers found 16 people who met all the above criteria and they are all annoying as hell to boot. Watching despicable people suffer is good family entertainment.

Seriously.... How many seasons will it take before someone learns to make a fire without a match or flint before they leave?

Or..... Wear the proper clothing on the flight over there. Not Heels, Dresses, etc...

We heard an interview with one of the producers on radio during last season and he said to an extent they filter out people who might do just that. He said every year they get people who are essentially survivalists that tell them they want to go on the show and demonstrate their skills etc and they've yet to find on that's compelling enough to pick. So while they have had people who had some survival skills, it would seem if you apply for the show telling them you can be like Survivorman, they won't pick you.

The clothing thing bugs me every season though, it's become a cliche like at the beginning of the Real World(which I haven't watched in years now) when the people argue over who gets what room.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

How did Courtney not get sent packing? That was one of the worst displays in a challenge ever on the show. The last one I remember being that pathetic was the architect lady last season on that water slide type thing.

Funniest moment: the flight attendant saying that he'd "strangle his ass," referring to James or the poker player. Pretty strong words for someone who otherwise acts like a fourteen year old girl. Either one of those guys would snap him in half.

At least they're voting off the really annoying survivors first. Too bad that there are just so many more annoying ones left. The casting really leaves something to be desired this season.

 

[Russ Smith]

Well once again we find out why you never want to be the leader of the tribe if you have any issues with being too bossy.

Have to hand it to Sherea I'm convinced the deal with the shells was intentionally to get Dave to go off. She had no real reason to not want to let him save shells, frankly I thought he was totally in the right and started off politely asking her to leave them alone. But she went out of her way to ignore him and eventually he got mad and that's likely why she's still there now.

Very few likable people on this show but I have to admit the women on that tribe were winning challenges, not the men, so it's hard to argue with Sherea's strategy of saving herself for challenges, although I just think she's lazy.

 

[nashman]

Shes a fat lazy slob! That was a stupid move for that tribe as most of them are worthless surviving in the wild. I believe they will suffer now unless the big twist is a merge already.

 

[Russ Smith]

Wow I did not see that one coming at all and I have to say Jamie and PG just went down several notches in my eyes, what complete conniving idiots it's way too early in the game to be throwing a contest to try and get a strong player out.

I got PG's fear that if the merge was at 10 and they had only 3 members from their original team they'd get picked off, but they just intentionally lost looked really bad. Jamie was even worse, she not only tanked, she even "hid" a puzzle piece so if James had somehow done the puzzle all by himself they still would have lost because they wouldn't have had that piece.

Gamesmanship is one thing this was just really cutthroat.

 

[nashman]

Yeah kinda stupid really. You know stupid Jamie and PG aren't gonna win anything, PG thinks she is so smart. James isn't gonna do $#% to help them, I wouldn't either, let the idiots try to take care of themselves. I personally am a competitor and couldn't just lose after doing nothing but losing week after week. Just shows how weak they are and will be gone soon enough!

 

[nashman]

And Eric is a puss for going along with the girls tanking when they didn't even tell him, he should have told the guys lets get rid of PG since she thinks she so smart!

 

[cardfaninfl]

I am no fan of Jaime of Peih-Gee but that was a brilliant, gutsy, thinking-of-the-future, strategic move. Not only if there is a merger at 10, but it tested Jaime's and Peih-Gee's bond. They both KNOW they have an ally and they both know Erik is their bi-atch.

That was the risk of the plan. If Erik got upset at not being included in the plan and cut a deal, they were next to go. But Erik showed how whipped he is and now those two women own him.

See that's why I don't think it was brilliant, it worked but they clearly didn't tell Eric so it could have REALLY backfired on them and gotten one of them voted off.

Eric didn't surprise me not voting off Jamie he's hot for her, but it was PG's idea she admitted it to him I am stunned that he didn't see through her and vote for her.

I totally agree with James, this is why you guys keep losing you're not competitors.

I was actually even more impressed with James after this show, he called them out to Jeff and then didn't stop there he went after them and pointed out this is why they lose Jeff.

Another example of why Jeff is such a great host too he went RIGHT after them and didn't let up until he'd got the whole story out.

I guess it could be brilliant if PG was right about how things were going to happen but given that the other team hates the poker player the odds were just as good that he was going home if they'd lost.

 

[cardfaninfl]

Your points are valid. My respect for the play (not the person) is because PG could admit the members of the other tribe were putting a beat down on her tribe and she was forced to think outside of the box.

Yes, it was a desperation play. Yes, the plan had potentially disasterous holes. But in her mind, it was change the game or go home.

Because she read Jaime and Erik correctly, the plan worked. I think it was a very competitive (in her way) move.

I can see that but she better be right about the merge. if they merge next week, at 11, she's going home quickly. Once word gets out that she and Jamie threw the challenge that is.

But if they merge at 10 and it's 7-3 at that point with 2 of the 7 having said they will align back with PG's team, then it's 5-5 with the 2 strongest players gone and PG is a genius.

Also don't forget her tribe didn't like her to begin with because she's bossy, so she's taking a real risk of a bigger target on her back now.

 

[cardfaninfl]

Ok, I must have missed the episode PG's tribe disliked her. Assuming that fact, you are correct. She and Jaime should have sat back and accepted their fate. My bad.

It was the first one or two she was being too bossy and several called her on it.

James also had a couple of great lines in there that had to be beeped.
Bleep sudoku being one of them.

 

[nashman]

Was great that James and Jeff called them out and they will pay for it. No one likes that crap and it will bite them in the ass.
