Official Survivor China Thread~~~ **Spoilers Inside**

[Ride Junkie]

Todd is kind of a weasel, but he knows how to play the game. He reminds me a little of Rob Cesternino from Survivor Amazon.

I wonder will happen with Denise - the person with the swing vote doesn't always have the power. Remember what happened to Christy (the girl who read people's lips) on Survivor Amazon? She was the swing vote...so they took her out!

I guess I must have really liked Survivor Amazon...?

 

[Kycha]

I realize who I missed being voted off - but could somebody give me a quick recap and what was the cliff hanger business?

Who else thought that cliffhanger was lame??? I thought it was going to be something to totally stir up the game. Turns out it's just a reward challenge. Boring.

But the show gave her the suit, it appears. It's not what she showed up with. If they gave it to her, you'd think they wouldn't give her something that needed to be blurred out.

If the producers gave them suits, it was probably their own suits. I know at the beginning of the season, she was running around in her underwear. The kind where the bottom half of your butt hangs out. And that would account for the blurring. Maybe her bathing suits are the same style.

 

[Sooze]

I'm so glad they pulled a fast one on James! Yes.. he's a beautiful sight, but I just couldn't get past his cockiness and the fact that he kept both idols, when one of them was GIVEN to him.... he should've returned it.

I'm still a Todd fan. ...But I can see the tribe turning on him because he has so much control. I thought it was good that he told the girls he'd do "whatever they wanted" on Thursday's epidsode.. that might help a bit.

Can't wait til next week!

Hated to see James go. I really liked James. I really dont want to see Pee Gee or Courtney win this thing. I really cannot stand either of them but Courtney will probably win it....still my favorite show

 

[swandiverpatt]

James sure didn't do must strategizing for his own cause. I'll tell you -- if I hd 2 idols and didn't win the immunity idol from the challenge, at this point in time I'd be playing an idol at each tribal council!

We had James in the office pool, so here goes our shot a fabulous jackpot.

I loved Denise showing off her martial arts skills at the temple -- who would have suspected???

 

[tinatark]

I hope James had BOTH of the idols in his bag and now they're with him at whatever resort the jury is staying at!

Don't like Amanda - she was a "zero" type player until this week. Courtney bugs me too.

Not sure who I want to win!

 

[MushyMushy]

Though I enjoyed looking at him, I definitely didn't like James. I've liked Todd from the beginning. It was a smart move for them to get rid of him like that.

Courtney bugs me, simply because I think she thinks she's all that.

I'm also tired of the juvenile hand signals. She's on a tribe, not a gang. It just looks stupid coming from her.

 

[palmtreegirl]

I would like to see Amanda go next, she's the one who comes up with so many of the big moves and then she just hides behind Todd. I'd love to see Todd take her out.

 

[Pam]

He did - he held both of them up during his booted confessional and wryly commented that they were of no use to him now.

He also said he bore no ill will towards the rest of the Survivors as this was a game and they had to do what they had to do.

 

[Steamboat Marti]

Since I'm the knucklehead that didn't TIVO this week - when PG won the reward challenge, did she also win immunity? Or did somebody else win immunity? I really hate missing a week this late in the game. Ugghh.

Eric won immunity. I think... now you've got me second guessing myself.

 

[Mkrop]

Eric won immunity. I think... now you've got me second guessing myself.

No you are right. PG reward, Eric immunity, James voted out

 

[Amy]

Well, what did everybody think of last night's episode? I liked Erik better than PeihGee, but they obviously couldn't vote PeighGee off. I can understand Denise being so torn about whether to vote for Todd or Erik, and I also think that when she wrote her vote and said to the camera that she thinks this might be the biggest mistake she makes in the game, she was right. It would have been the perfect time to get rid of Todd. But at the same time, there's hope that the jury realizes what a schemer Todd is and if Todd's in the final 3, they won't give him the $1M.

And what was with Todd's sister and the miscarriage? Played out exactly like Jonny Fairplay and his "dead" grandma. I don't blame Erik one bit for wondering if it's true or not; I'd be thinking the same thing!

I've been a bit behind in posting the Fantasy League standings for the DIS tribe. Here they are; snoopygirl2 is still holding onto her lead!

1 snoopygirl2 1095
2 tazicket 991
3 Amy45 709
4 Culligan54 659
5 Disney1fan 575
6 marseeya 538
7 shirleyab 327

 

[Mean Queen]

I wasn't sure about the truth of the miscarriage either. Only because wouldn't you ask "How is everyone?" Not just about one particular person. I think Denise made a huge mistake. Third is more money than fourth. Plus, you have a chance if you are guaranteed 3rd of getting immunity and making it top two, which is more money. So while she was out of the million, there was still money to have that she lost out on with that decision.

 

[nuke]

Even if Denise had voted for Todd there would have been a tie and no guarantee that Todd would lose the tie breaker. If Todd won and was still there then I would say Denise would be gone next at spot 5. At least with her vote for Erik she has more of a guarantee at 4 and a shot at 3 if she wins immunity.

 

[puffkin]

I don't think Denise made a mistake. Last night I did, but I have been thinking about it more and I think she made the right choice.

Yes, they have to get rid of Todd. He will probably get most of the jury because they all know he is the true mastermind behind the plan. Yeah, they may have been burned by him, but usually the "outwit" part is what the jury votes on. With the exception of PG, no matter who goes to the Final 3 with him will be considered as riding on his coat tails. So, for anyone to have a shot, Todd has to go.

Denise did the right thing though. If she swapped, there is still no guarantee Todd would go home........who knows what the tie breaker would be (it seems to change every season). Plus if she swapped she lost all trust with Courtney and Amanda and she would need to go to the Final 3 with those two to have a chance at winning. PG will do anything to stay alive, so she didn't have to worry about hurting her feelings.

At 5 is the time to get rid of Todd. You pretty much don't have to worry about a tie. She has PG's vote and she only needs one more. As long as he doesn't win immunity, they would all be smart to take Todd out next. And even if he does win immunity, they still have one more shot to get him at 4. If Courtney, Amanda and Denise are smart, they should take out Todd and then PG.

 

[nuke]

Puffkin we were posting at the same time! GMTA!

 

[TiggerPiglet]

I also wondered if Todd and his sister cooked up the miscarriage story, but I guess we'll find out for sure at the reunion show.

I also thought at first that Denise made a mistake by voting out Eric, but she may be in a better position to win immunity without Eric there. She looks stronger than any of the girls left, including Todd.

 

[goofy's friends]

Go Denise! She has been so quiet the whole show and I was really impressed with her the past couple of shows. I would love to see an all girl final four (has that ever happened?) and then see Denise take the million. It sounds like they might be trying to get rid of Todd next week, so we'll see.

Did you catch that little smirk on Todd's sister's face in the water when they were discussing the baby. i'd hate to think someone would make something like that up, but if he did, I hope he goes down!

Did you see Todd's shifty eyes when James came in the tribal Council He's hoping he doesn't get voted off just because he might be left in a room alone with James!!
