Survivor: China

I think there is a special place in hell reserved specifically for Reality TV show participants, creators, and viewers.

You all should be wary and think about your everlasting soul. Come back to the light.

Yep I mean I'd much rather watch Cavemen.



Reality Tv isn't for everyone, that's why we have remote controls.

I think they are crazy for keeping James around. The guy is a grave digger for crying out loud and they just stabbed him in the back. He looked pissed. Should be an interesting show tomorrow.

James is the only guy on this cast I actually like. In fact he's probably already become one of my 5 or so favorite survivor players ever.

That one scene where he smashed the plates or whatever with a throw and then took his stick/spear and spiked it into the ground like the Florida State mascot(without the horse for leverage) was just awesome.

I think the Cards should sign him to play LB next year.

Yeah James is awesome, dude is a beast!

Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you.

Last night was a bit confusing because they never showed us what happened when James went back to his tribe, did he look for the other immunity idol? THe tease for next week seemed to indicate others maybe finding it but I'm betting they just find the one that James already has.

I loved James trying to fake not being able to eat the balut and he finally just got so fed up waiting for lunch lady that he said "I got it" and then wham ate it and was done. He realized either way he wasn't going home.

Quite honestly I missed why it was so key to them to have James throw the contest? Either way they were going to control who went home either James used immunity, or they voted out Sherea. The only way that could backfire is if they voted out one of their own, so trying to throw immunity wasn't really necessary?

I've actually decided I really like Frosti too.

 

[nashman]

Nah James is the man and he should keep both immunitys for himself haha. Just keep himself in the game cause hes one of the only compelling people in the game. Most of this cast just sucks really bad, can't remember a cast that was worse.

They wanted to break up Jamie and Eric first. When that fell through Sherea was the obvious backup plan.

I guess the "Dumb Blonde" thing didn't work for Jamie, turning in the fake idol.

That was classic why didn't she look at the idols James had to make sure she had the right thing? Didn't they know there were only 2 and since he had 2 hers wasn't one? Maybe not I can't remember if Jeff said there were 2 or not.

That was funny and James' reaction was priceless.

 

[Angel]

They knew James had two, but they hadn't had access to the majority of the clues so I guess they were thinking that there were more than those two.

My thought was that the one that James removed left a big blank spot on the other side of the gazebo why didn't they notice that and wonder?

Jamie darling I'm sorry to say you ARE Jessica wandering around the forest.......goodbye.

Had to be one of the best tribal counsels ever! Yes dear you are a dumb blond!

 

[Russ Smith]

For a second there I thought we were going to get a 2nd straight week of someone playing an idol that wasn't real.

Glad the blindside on James didn't work but I hope he learned his lesson and is a bit more careful about the need to use the idols if he doesn't win immunity.

 

[nashman]

Agree Russ IMHO he is one of the only likeable characters. This seasons casting seemed to be much poorer than previous seasons.

 

[Russ Smith]

After James went home last week I thought I was going to completely lose interest, but last night was pretty good again. I think voting off Eric was a huge mistake she's absolutely going to end up 4th of the final 4 and she knew it and still didn't try to get Todd out.

So did anybody catch, WAS Todd lying about his sisters miscarriage or not? I know most people thought he was, he told them in the water he wasn't but the looks between him and his sister made it seem like they were being deceptive, or was Survivor just playing that angle up true or not?

He seems to be the best game player left, but he's also the only man left so he's at a disadvantage if they break tribal alliances.

 

[nashman]

He's screwed they are gonna turn on him now and he will be gone. Denise should have gotten rid of him last night it would have been in her best interest. Amanda now will begin trying to get Todd out and Pigi will be all for that, so I can see him out this next week unless he wins immunity. Denise quite frankly would be the one I would want to give the money too. Pigi is annoying and the anerexic waitress is lucky she is even there. Denise or Amanda need to win the money.

I thought the same thing when darling James had to take the walk; I guess my difference is that even after last night I still feel that way. There is no one left that I want to cheer to the million.

I would have taken Denise's side but she made a bonehead move by not looking out for her best interests. Her alliance has basically told her the best she will be is 4th and she accepted that last night by staying "loyal" (did James a world of good, Denise learn by example). She may have done no better siding with PG and Eric, maybe rallying Courtney (who appears to like no one), but she would have been responsible for her own destiny rather than taking 4th without a whimper.

Todd thinks he is in control (I hope it wasn’t a lie about his sister, what a hideous thing to say on national TV---goes way past Johnny FP crying over a dead Gramma who is as home watching him on TV) but dollars to donuts Amanda stabs him in he back next week if she can rally the women (go girl power, for this week at least) only PG's unusual luck at the individual immunity stands in her way, I even think that the jury sides with her---she is making everyone's departure look like Toad's doing.

How many episodes of Survivor do they have to watch before realizing that in this game LOYALTY is a two way street and if those you are loyal too don’t feel the same way you are just being a sucker?

 

[Russ Smith]

ONce again I continue to think Denise is going to look back later and think I am an idiot I could have won the money if I'd dumped Todd earlier?

Final 4 finale is on Sunday should be interesting but I really think Denise had 2 golden opportunities to cement her place in the final 3. How obvious does it have to be when they all did the arrows thing and she only got 2? they basically told her, you are 4th in this 4 person alliance, and she didn't flip.

Yep. She cooked her own goose. I think she even knows it but was too afraid to pull the trigger. If she would have done that I think she wins it all because it would have shown that she can make a move on her own. Now she is just another pawn of Todd.

And how pathetic is that skinny chick. She get like 100 arrows and can't figure the thing out. I'm all about taking her to the final. You would be garenteed a win if she was the person sitting next to you in the final.

Worst Survivor season ever.

 

[Russ Smith]

Worst Survivor season ever.

It had it's moments but I would disagree with Jeff who said last night it was one of the better ones.

Next season looks interesting, bringing back previous survivor players to be on one team against a bunch of Survivor "fans" on the other team. Basically all stars vs fans in Micronesia. Sounds intriguing but we'll see.

I wanted Amanda to win last night but I have to be honest as the show went on it became more and more obvious to me that she had lied just as much as Todd had, she just wasn't as open about it. Unless it was creative editing they showed her tell Denise "I guarantee you I won't write your name down" the same day she wrote her name down and voted her off. And she even denied at Tribal that she'd told her she had her back when it was brought up by Denise that day and she'd assured her she had her back and denise said "good because this is when I need you."

Tough to watch last night I really felt like in some ways Denise was using the sad story of her financial situation to try and win the game and then after the game was over it basically got her 50K from Survivor when they found out she'd lost her job while on the show. You feel sorry for someone in that situation but she did seem to play it up a bit too much there at the end.

The best game player won so I guess I can be satisfied with that.

I agree. I wanted Amanda to win but it was clear that she lied to Denise. Not to mention that she totally choked during the final tribal counsel. Todd just came across as more prepared like he had it planned all along.

The only thing that really pissed me off the entire season was that they kept fuzzing out Amanda's behind. The took away the one thing I really wanted to see every week.

Agree on all points and especially the last one. I really wanted to know what made the shots so blur-worthy....it is not like Courtney had considerably more fabric on. I think it may just be a marketing ploy to sell more of the Survivor China: Uncut, Unedited, and Unblurred box set when it comes out.

Ditto, my girlfriend and I kept asking what exactly are they blurring are the shorts just too short, is there a hole etc.
