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

[NAB]

I hate when they have re cap shows. I don't need recapping.

But it is your Thanksgiving so maybe there won't be many watching...

 

[Amy]

Man, I just hate when people get to choose between eating and immunity challenges and they choose eating! I lose so much respect for them. Even my favorite, Todd!! How dare they make Erik and Frosti try to keep PG from winning. I guess they figured even if PG did win immunity, none of THEM were going home. YUK. Bad form if you ask me.

Yep, the producers do something like this every season and it just amazes me! I can understand they're sick of eating fish and rice, but the game is still ON, and you don't need to come off as being too cocky. I can sort-of understand folks like James and Todd who haven't won any food rewards, but Courtney just got back from that river cruise. Kudos to Amanda for passing up the food!

And while I'm ranting... I was turned off by James' reaction to her [PeighGee] after the loss in the RC. She was just telling him she was angry at his lack of effort. She wasn't blaming him for losing... just pointing out that he gave up. He is always bragging about how hard he works and how intense he is at challenges, but he BLEW this one.. completely!

Yes, James wasn't running after the ball as fast as he could have, but did you see PeighGee during the challenge? It was HER fault they lost the challenge with how high she was bouncing that ball!! There's no way to control the ball when you're bouncing it that high. At least when James was having trouble he was asking PeighGee if she could dribble the ball and let her take over, but she totally blew it.

That reward challenge really wasn't "fair" (if anything Survivor does is "fair"). The team that won had Eric and Frosti doing all the work, Amanda and Courtney didn't do a darn thing. Same on the other team - Denise didn't do anything.

A recap episode next week, huh? Guess I CAN have an extra glass of wine after my Thanksgiving dinner - I won't have to worry about falling asleep on the couch and missing something!

 

[JBurke]

Of course, the ONE time I fast forward after the vote was read and I hear I missed a cliffhanger??!!

So what was it that Jeff said after Frosti left?

Thanks!

 

[Amy]

All Jeff said was that they had one more piece of business before they could go back to camp, and that's where it ended. And we have to wait until Nov. 29 to find out!

I agree. I think James has turned into kind of a jerk. And why hasn't he given Todd back one of the idols yet?? I thought the agreement was for him to use the idol Todd gave him if he needed it, then to bring the other one back to Todd. Now he is just being a greedy idol-hog!

Too bad about Frosti, he was darling. Go Todd.

Yep, I think James should have given one of the idols to Todd, but after he saw his name come up during last week's vote (when John-Robert was voted off), I'm willing to bet he won't give an idol to Todd, since James knows that Todd is making most of the decisions and he (james) will assume that Todd was trying to blind-side him. Then again, Todd has every right to blind-side James for the fact that James DIDN'T give him an idol. Round and round we go.......

Todd and Amanda to the end! I can't decide on who I'd like to be in the final 3......Denise or James. It'll prob. be Courtney, though.

OK - let me play devil's advocate for one second. How do we know he still has both? You know they edit this game the way they want. James could have easily given Todd back one of the idols and we don't know. Granted that is a HUGE long shot since that would seem to be pivitol to the game, but I guess the one thing I've learned is to never trust the editing.

For example, just how the heck did they all get swimsuits and sneakers? We know the producers must have let them have them but not one mention on air.

(for the record I don't think James gave anybody anything, I was just supposing).

But, didn't he say he still had both idols the other night?

You DO have a point - James could have given one of the idols to Todd and the producers aren't showing us, making us think nasty thoughts about James. And I also agree with you - I don't think James gave anybody one of the idols, or something would have been said.

But, didn't he say he still had both idols the other night?

When James was talking about having both idols, that was when they were showing scenes from the last episode. In Thursday's episode, I'm pretty sure he didn't say anything about the idols.

 

[phamton]

Word is that James goes today.

 

[NAB]

Oh no...he must get blindsided for sure.

Can't wait to see how it plays out because in the previews it shows him back at camp so I figured that he doesn't go at tribal council that night. Must be some other twist?

I have been watching all the episodes that I DVR'd over the last two weeks since I hadn't had time to watch the show before then.....I thought I missed something when they all showed up to the challenge in their suits. I think that was quite a crucial point in the game that would of taken 20 seconds to show.......

What's with Amanda's butt? How come they blur it? My DH and I have been wondering. He actually emailed me from work (hard worker that he is ) and said to google "Amanda's butt blurred on Survivor"...that apparently we're not the only ones wondering! There's speculation that the bathing suit got a little stretched out, or there was something written on the butt (but not if they gave it to her to wear, I'd think), etc. Anyone here know for sure why?

I figured she was wearing one of those "Juicy Couture" suits, and they blurred out the designer name.

Personally, I've got a thing about wearing the word "juicy" plastered across my rear. Maybe it's just me...

 

[TiggerPiglet]

I can't believe James didn't use the idol. What was he thinking? Obviously that he was safe. I was screaming at the TV, use it, use it!!!

Question: It looked like PG found the idol in the shelter. Why didn't she take it? It wasn't like it was in James' bag. I would assume they're not allowed to go into each other's stuff, but if someone hides it somewhere and then someone finds it, wouldn't it be finders keepers, losers weepers

 

[DisneyMomOK]

I was, too!!!! He is such class act; I loved that "it's a game" attitude. I would have wanted to tear the heads off of my "friends". I am so glad there is a possibility of his being on AStarsS 2.

PS There is a rule that no one can steal from other players (per someone's comments on a previous Survivor.)

OK - color me stupid. I forgot to set my Tivo. I'd like to think I ate too much turkey but that was why I missed last week's episode.

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

They had an award challenge on the spot at tribal council. PG won it, and took Eric and Denise with her.

Last week's episode was just a recap (the one on Thanksgiving) so you didn't miss anything.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

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.
