I love Survivor and I am counting the days..
I have a Chinese roommate who may find it of interest as well.

I missed the first few minutes...the hubby taped it but missed the first part!

Chicken was a piece of work wasn't he??? I was hoping he would stay just based on his age and origin!

Watch next week guys...the female wrestler hits the mud pit!

Chicken did not know how to play the game. It was apparent.

What I have noticed with Survivor is that the players are better right from the get go in terms of playing the game.

What amazes me is how they are a bunch of dumbasses when it comes to surviving.

That is true Chili. I had to wonder what the one girl was thinking that said "I didn't think it would be this hard." Heelloooo....????

Like I said I missed the first part...why did she show up in a dress and heals?

I was ticked that Chicken dude was ousted. What were they thinkin'? Ashley didn't do squat-taa.....except lay around complaining about a rumbly in the tummy. Suck it up tough chicky. You're supposed to be a bigshot WWE star....loser. And what's with the metal mouth? You look like a monster....a scary one at that....Yo Chicken!

Courtney? Before the show started, I was ready to jump on her band wagon but then she opened her mouth....out deary....

Frosti??? What's up with that? You're out just for having a stupid name...

Jean-Robert....I like this dude....for now...he kinda of reminds of a soothe-sayer disguised as a poker player...you know, he can read minds and stuff....very cool, wish I could do that!

Todd....ummmmm.....what's that Brit term we used alot....right!....poofter!! ha ha ha...not that there's anything wrong with that.....

My favourite....James....ya gotta dig any dude that's a gravedigger...for now, my money is on him....

Oh...before I go....Yo Denise....get a hair cut chick!

Good show. My favorite.....don't have one yet. Gotta watch a few more episodes. But the bleach blond chick from New York was really annoying. She won't last long with her attitude that she is superior and everyone else is stupid scum. And Ashley was equally as bad with those stupid things in her lip and the really bad boob job. They looked like ballons about to pop.

My favorite part was when he announced, "ok, you are going to your camp with the clothes you are wearing".

Chick replies, "but I am not wearing a bra"

Dude says, "Ok, I guess you will make friends."

when everybody was asking chicken's opinion on how to set up the shelter and he kept mumbling, "whatever yuns wont to do" it made him look petulant for ignoring his earlier advice. glad he's gone.

now james...he's a hard worker and great eye candy. i think he'll do well.

From the first episode, I'd say that James is my favorite. Which means he will probably be voted off soon. I like that he's a quiet, unassuming guy who's strong and just does his job. Unfortunately, it seems like the ones who go far are complete a**holes (remember Richard Hatch or Johnny "Fairplay"?).

Also, as I was watching tribal council last night, there were parts that looked like it was being filmed on a sound stage. While I realize that it probably was a sound stage in China, and I'm not usually one for conspiracy theories (like that the whole show is staged), it made me wonder.

You knew right away that that Ashley was going to stay just because they spent so much time showing us how little she did. Her not getting voted off is the curve ball that makes us stayed tuned to the end. It's always someone you didn't expect.

I was disappointed by Chicken leaving, but he couldn't make a decision and everyone turned to him for answers. Someone had to go.


I am looking forward to seeing how the former Miss Montana/hiking guide does. Hope she has skills.

LOL @ ductape. I swear they look like they are going to explode.

Has there ever been even one Survivor show without at least one boob job? Me thinks not.

I was too busy oggling James'(the grave digger's) biceps and OMG those traps!

Lots of attitudes flying about there too.

I thought that it was an unfair thing to have them go in with only the cloths on thier back with no forwarning, however they already got new footware and it gives recreational clothing sponsors an oppy for label branding.

I love it when people start moaning about how they're not really outdoorsy types, so they are soooooo miserable. Duh! WTF did you think this was going to be?! A freakin' hotel?!

First impressions - worst yet
WTF do the Chinese think Americans are like looking at this sorry bunch.

Peih Gee said it best about Chicken "if he will not share his outdoor knowledge, what good is he" Goodbye Chicken

But what losers, any attempt to get things better means you risk being outcast.
Ashley - what a loser
Sherea - ditto
Frosti - dumb as a post - he arrived 1/2 second behind James, but still did not have his post in by the time the other tribe had completely finished. Probably his shoe size is larger than his IQ.

James looks good.

Yeah, I like James. He seems to be a good soul. The New York chick and the inflated boob wrestler don't even have a clue. Guess that there will never be a survivor filmed in a cold climate, as there would be little skin shown. My wife guggested to me that an episode should be made with only older folks. I wonder if anyone would watch. Probably not. Of course, the show is contrived, heavily staged and edited. Gotta attract those free-spending youngsters with those hig-dollar ads.

I forgot about the Christian who had touble with the Buddist ceremony. She should have done some homework and would have discovered that that she would not have been bowing to any idols by participating in the ceremony. Had I been a local, I might have been offended by her lack of cultural awareness. Then again, I am sure she was chosen for the game by the producers for the reason that her overt religion on her sleave would generate more viewer interest.

Done homework? That was obviously a religious ceremony. They shot Probsts' comment after the ceremony and edited it in.

I thought Leslie showed courage and conviction. Something we rarely see any more.

I didn't really get the strategy of kidnapping Jamie. But I liked her move of giving the clueless Christian the clue. For her to turn around and trust the little guy was about as stupid as you can get.

So what's the deal - is that thing in their structure the immunity idol? They kept showing it as she wandered around saying "where-o-where?"

What's up with the challenges being more like hand to hand combat?!

That poor woman who got the clue is very naive.

I really thought the balloon boobs were going to explode durnig the challenge.

I wonder what kinds of twists we will see this season?

She sure is naive Sass. I mean, how well does she really know any of them right now. I thought it was smart of Jamie to give it to a weak player, but she could not have forseen that she would tell a strong player.
Creek Dancer

I can't say I'm sad to see balloon boobs go. She was very annoying. John Robert is almost as annoying but at least he does well at challenges and has some strategy going. He seems kinda slimey to me.

I wish Chicken would've stepped up last week. It would've been more interesting with him around.

I thought it was funny after the one woman didn't realize her top had been pulled off. She says, "Oh my god, my mom's gonna kill me!"

Yeah, what's the deal with all this physical fighting and wrestling. I could do without that....

James will win this. Is there anyone who can keep him from getting immunity every time?

If I was on that team, I would start lobbying to vote him off just before the individual immunity challenges start.

But did you see James get taken down last night? I don't remember who it was, but they leveled him in the challenge. Of course, he got right back up and pulled the ball across the goal.

I was kinda impressed with John Robert's strength. He was trudging through the mud with some chick pulling his pants down and he still kept going.

I noticed that too. He was definitely saving up for the challenge. Good thing they won.

i am still upset that they were given running shoes to keep. I would've loved seeing them walk with their high heels. Idiots!!!
Haven't they seen any previous survivor shows?

the hour just sails by for me- glad "ms. wrestling" got booted she was a poor sport. I don't recall when was the last time I saw so much masking for tv in a challenge as in the ball challenge. Maybe first season with Richard's birthday?
