Survivor China

[mom2fussbudgets]

Where do they get these contestants? I swear, they act like they've never seen Survivor before! Once again, another group that came horribly ill-prepared. At this point, would you wear a dress and heels on your very first day as a Survivor contestant? NOT! Why would you goof around and not get your shelter built? Or be bossy and demanding to your fellow tribemates right up front like Peih-Gee was. Not to mention Leslie's annoying display: Refusing to participate in a ceremony that Jeff clearly explained was not a religious one, then proclaiming she just couldn't because of her relationship with Jesus Christ. :rolleyes: Hasn't she learned that religious fanatacism never pays off on Survivor? And let's not forget Chicken, who alienated his tribe mates by being obstinate, then acts surprised cause he got voted off! Puh-lease!

Your thoughts? :D

I totally agree, I remarked to my husband, why in the world would you go dressed in a dress and heels....I would of had a pair of shorts covered with a pair of long pants, a shirt, with a sweatshirt over it, socks and tennis shoes and a hat!! and of course 2 sets of underware on.....I cannot imagine being cold all night, the rain, mud, etc....atleast be prepared a little bit...and my clothes/shoes would of been sprayed with a water repeller!!!
I agree, when you start this game you have to be under the radar for a while atleast!!! keep you mouth shut until you get to know the people....it is like they have never seen this show before!!

[mom2fussbudgets]

LOL! And, if I were going to go on Survivor, I would read everything I could find about roughing it in the wilderness. I would try to learn how to make fire without flint, and this book would definitely be on my must-read list!

[Cpogie]

Oh yes, a must read! I would want to know the weather for that time of the year.......what plant life I might need to exist on....the kind of fish, what not to eat! lol also if they tell you exactly where you are going you can view maps to get an idea of the area.....alot of things you can do to prepare.....but NO heels! lol

[teacheng1967]

This is why I stopped watching those shows. I get so frustrated at the stupidity, forgetting the classic line: YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID!!!! :eek:

Carol, you've got it going on! They need to pick you for Survivor. :D

Carol, you've got it going on! They need to pick you for Survivor. :D

lol, I would never make it, unless they allow me to bring my meds, I can't run, so I would be the first one gone.......I could cook and clean up for them though.

I agree with you and I would also make sure I had fish line and hooks tucked away in that hat...lol....;)

[VanillaBean]

Agreed!!.... You ARE Outside in the elements so one should dress accordingly.
I seem to recall the Radio host saying " I am not religious or anything but...."

Excuse me but what the heck do you call your profession? LOL I had to call her out on that- also I know it may seem to some that being bossy isn't good- but on the other hand- being serious about things that need and should be gotten done needed to be addressed and Peih-Gee had enough sense to say so.

Children do need to be told what to do and they all seem to need that kind of attention- some of those people didn't sign on to shoot the sh*t so to speak- forgive my language- they came to survive and win!!

[mom2fussbudgets]

They definitely needed leadership, I completely agree! Being the leader, without being bossy is the way to go, but it does take a certain finesse. Peih-Gee's bossiness made me dislike her, but I am willing to give her another chance! Sometimes, first impressions are wrong.

[TrishaB]

I think Courtney should be gone before long. {maybe even next} She has been rolling her eyes at the other contestants and thinks she's better because she is from the big city. I also do not like the wrestler lady. She gave off a bad first impression. I could live with and put up with a few of them over her. The bossiness of Peih-Gee wouldn't really bother me much. Somebody had to take charge and get things done. I find that Leslie {christian talk show host} was direspectful of the people. She shouldn't have walked out of the temple. If she had that big of a problem then she shouldn't have went in to the temple in the beginning. I understand that everyone has their own religious beliefs, but if you knew you might have a problem when going in then don't go in. Simple as that. This is just my opinion and I don't want to start any arguments over anything I have said. :) I agree with everyone about they way they was dressed and I myself would have done some research on where I was going. This way I would know the enviroment and my surroundings. What a bunch of goofs, dressing in heels and dresses with no bras. I guess they'll learn when their body parts are all over t.v for the world to see. I wonder how embarrassing that will be for thier family members. :eek:

Nothing you said offended me!

Oh, Courtney was annoying too! I hated her squeaky voice. And, I agree--she did come across like she was better than everyone else.

Ashley (wrestler lady), did not bother me at all. I did think it was disappointing that she got sick right away though. I also got a peek at her fake b o o b s a little more often than I cared for.

Honestly, the only person I like so far is James, the gravedigger.

[VanillaBean]

Yep Yep Yep- we here like James too- rootin for him!!

I too could of enjoyed the show a lot more without being flashed so much with massive cleavage everywhere- sheesh
Could of done without the eye rolls as well!

[wendav13]

I don't watch them either!!!! They get on my nerves ~ I just want to reach in the TV and smack someone!

This is why I stopped watching those shows. I get so frustrated at the stupidity, forgetting the classic line: YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID!!!! :eek:

[mary k]

When did this start? Our paper said Wednesday the 26. I'm going to be one mad mad person if I missed this.:mad:

[mom2fussbudgets]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news--but you missed it! The season premiere was last Thursday, the 20th!

[lemmonflower]

you can still watch it at http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor15/

[VanillaBean]

Yeahh the cleavage is gone!!! Onward fellow survivors!!

[Yaana]

Well, I'm not sure what we will see more of this season, cleavage :eek: or stupidity :confused: ! I'm not sure I can deal with looking at ***** for an hour every Thursday. I think they get the young/dumb ones just to make the show more "interesting" in their minds. My hubby and I are getting pretty frustrated over it all. Plus, why do they only have like two older people lately? You know the young ones are going to vote them off first. Duh! :rolleyes: Sorry guys, just needed to vent on this one, I'm too am tired of the ***** and stupid of the world! lol;)

[Yaana]

Well, sorry about that! I didn't know my other word for cleavage would be blanked out. Any how, where you see the ***** just insert cleavage! :o

[mom2fussbudgets]

LOL! Don't be sorry!

Stupid, stupid all around! Can Dave be any more of an annoying dumb bunny? How depressing that Ashley got voted off instead of him. If I have to listen to that bossy and patronizing voice for one more minute, I think I'll scream. Wonder how long his tribe mates will put up with 'im?

And Leslie! Groan! I have nothing against deeply religious people. In fact, I admire them. I do have difficulty tolerating people who feel the need to proclaim their faith (they are the ones who usually turn out to be the biggest hypocrites), and those who think God is only on their side.

Oh my--James the grave digger. Did anyone else drool over that totally ripped bod like I did? Sigh! Still rootin' for 'im.

I agree with you 100%. I really wanted Dave gone:mad: instead of Ashley too. I think that he is going to start in at Sherea next, that tribe has some major problems.
Leslie, here she is given a clue for the idol and then shares it with Todd, HELLO was that not stupid. I would like to see Courtney go from that tribe,:rolleyes: I am not sure what it is about her but I do not like her and what about Jean Robert wanting to rest every hour...lol...
I am rootin for James myself and yes I was also was checking out that bod...lol;)

[GeorgiaMom]

James is definitely my favorite so far. He seems like a very genuine, honest and hardworking person. And of course, it doesn't hurt that he has a body to die for!!! I'm just afraid all his good qualities will eventually be his downfall as he will be seen as a strong man who has done nothing to get on anyone's bad side. No one will want to be up against him at the end.

[mom2fussbudgets]

Tammy:

It's just like I said! Stupid, stupid all around!

I don't like Courtney either. It's that squeaky voice, and that better-than-you attitude.

GeorgiaMom:

I agree! James is going to have to tread carefully! Hopefully, he'll be able to pull it off.

To ya both:

Glad I'm not the only perv! :D

[VanillaBean]

Do not miss tonight- something goes on with James I believe by the commercials they are airing!!

[Cpogie]

Do not miss tonight- something goes on with James I believe by the commercials they are airing!!

Oh boy, I did not see the commercial, but I hope he does not get hurt! He is the best one there...thursday is a good night for TV, this show and Grey's!!

[mom2fussbudgets]

I haven't seen the commercials either. Man, I will be so bummed if he's out this early in the game!

[mom2fussbudgets]

Welp, it wasn't our James! But LESLIE!!! I was surprised; I thought for sure Jean-Robert or Courtney was gone.

Not a particularly exciting Survivor episode. Although, I am continually amazed by the mistakes these people make. I'll say it again, haven't these people ever watched Survivor?

[VanillaBean]

Don't forget it is on tonight folks!!!

[Cpogie]

Don't forget it is on tonight folks!!!

Thanks for the reminder! this and Greys! Perfect night for TV! ;)

[VanillaBean]

I think they got rid of the wrong guy- again!!

[mom2fussbudgets]

You know, that had to have been a tough call. I guess they just got to the point where they simply could not stand him a moment longer.

I laughed when I heard his exit speech. He's one of these people who cannot see their own faults. He's the exact opposite of who he thinks he is!

Out of everyone, I was ready for Jean Robert to go, but I'm not sad it was Dave. No one has grown on me. James still has my vote.

[VanillaBean]

Its on tonight!!!!

[TAMMY293115]

Did anyone catch this last night, I was so mad..:mad: ..I think that if they know that someone has lost a challenge on purpose that they should be disqualified from the game. This tribe was given a chance to finally win a challenge and then to throw the challenge and laugh about it after, unreal.I dont think they deserve to be there. Then there is Erik, your two team mates throw a challenge, they dont let you in on it and you side with them after they show you how much trust they have in you when they did not mention what they were up to. I hope that next week they merge allowing James to let everyone know what happened so that they all turn against Peih-gee and Jamie.

Yes I watched, what were those women thinking throwing a challenge, they are the ones who needed to be voted off, and they sat there and laughed about it! Your right they do not deserve to be there! Erik is only worried about his behind! he and the others will be going soon, especially when they merge, then watch what happens!

[VanillaBean]

I missed first half hour of this due to tremendous storms/tornados in our area- and the weather was on from 7:20- 8:30 pm and only caught the challenge-on? What made the girls decide to throw it? How did the other 2 members kidnapped to the other side fare? Please catch me up??!!!!

[mom2fussbudgets]

VB, I know who got voted off, but I haven't watched it yet. When I do, I'll catch ya up. :)

[VanillaBean]

thanks- I really appreciate it!!

[mom2fussbudgets]

Okay VB, here are the highlights!

No reward challenge; instead both tribes were given a sheet of parchment and were told to circle the names of the two players they wanted to steal from their opposing tribe. Fei Long chooses Frosti and Sherea, Zhan Hu chooses James and Aaron. The displaced tribe members show up at their new tribes with a basket full of goodies to share with their new tribe mates.

Zhan Hu's tribe members have got to be the dumbest people in Survivor history! Jaime and Peih-Gee put their stupid little heads together and decide to throw the challenge. Their motive was to get James and Aaron out of the game before Fei Long could vote out Frosti and Sherea. My point is, who says they would? Looks to me like Jean-Robert's gonna be the next one to go on that tribe! What really blows my mind is Erik and Aaron let them get away with it! Erik is smitten with Jaime though, and methinks he is thinking with his nether regions and NOT with his brain.

The highlight of the evening was James! At one point, he spoke of Denise and her hard work ethic. He said that he found that to be attractive, and that if he were a little older, or if Denise were a little younger...I am so impressed that he's able to look past the physical and care about what's inside a person. Also, even though he knew his b u t t was on the line, he stood up to Jaime and Peih-Gee, you know, the dingbat twins? Because of this, I am still rooting for James!

[mom2fussbudgets]

VB, since you watched the last bit of it, you did see who got voted off, right? It was Aaron. He stabbed James in the back for no reason! Served him right!

From what we saw, Frosti and Sherea did well at Fei Long. Everyone seems to dislike Jean-Robert, so I believe he'll be the next one to go in that tribe.

[VanillaBean]

Thank you so much- no bad weather tonight- yeah!!!!!

[mom2fussbudgets]

You are welcome!

Gross food challenge tonight! :D

[bugspost]

Gross was an understatement.............but the game really got screwy tonight. Oh well, looks like merge next week!! :eek:

[Cpogie]

The food challenge was more than gross.....I felt sorry for them all trying to eat that stuff! The merge takes place next week.

[mom2fussbudgets]

I was frustrated when Todd and James' plan went awry! It would've been a great move if they could've pulled it off.

The gross food challenge was gross alright! Those poor baby turtles! Not sure if I could bring myself to eat the turtles or the Balut.

I'm annoyed that they told us about the merge in the previews. It's way more fun to be surprised.

A little bummed that Sherea got voted off, but not too bummed. She got a bit nasty sometimes, which was unpleasant. I don't care much for John-Robert, but I did feel he showed a bit more class in his reason-for-voting-the-way-I-did comment than Sherea did.

[VanillaBean]

Survivor is on tonight- don't miss it!!!

[Cpogie]

Survivor is on tonight- don't miss it!!!

Thanks for the reminder! I wonder who is on the hot seat tonight! It will be interesting with the merge...;)

[mom2fussbudgets]

My sister called me tonight bursting! She told me we had to watch Survivor tonight, and I am so glad we did!

Is Jaime like the dumbest Survivor player ever? LOLOLOLOL!!! Her using the "immunity idol" was so completely priceless!

I know you guys are probably getting sick of hearing me say it, but I luvs James! James Rocks!

[VanillaBean]

It was a very funny episode- wish I could of been there to see her burn herself so badly!! We love James too!!!

I taped this last week and just got around to watching it, yep she is a dumb one....lol...I was cracking up. I am with you GO JAMES.....

[mom2fussbudgets]

Yeah! GO JAMES!! :D

[TAMMY293115]

Yeah! GO JAMES!! :D

Dont know about you :eek: but I really thought it was going to be James. Thank was a close one ;) .

[VanillaBean]

I too thought James was a goner!! Luckily, the gods were smiling

[Cpogie]

Well, James sure knows now who tried to boot him off! that was a close one, now he knows he has to use that immunity idol!!! I hope he has it well hidden so they won't steal it!

[storzo]

I missed some episodes and some partials, does James really have two immunity idols? If so, with all the talk of voting him off why didn't he throw one out there at tribal? Luckily he didn't need it.

Why is everyone so confident going into tribal this season?

Yes, James does have both immunity idols, some if not most of them know because one girl, (can't remember her name, blonde) looked in James bag....he felt safe this last tribal.....but now he knows to CYA next time, unless he wins immunity! I am rooting for him to win!!

Thank you. I'm rooting for James too. Don't want to see him blow it by being overconfident.

[mom2fussbudgets]

What a relief! I thought for sure he was gone too.

Can people steal it? Or is it against the rules? I can't remember ever hearing.

I am SO glad Jean Robert is gone!

[VanillaBean]

Last season Yo-Mans Idol was takin from him I believe. Not sure if it is ok to steal as far as rules go- but morally speaking- thats a jurors vote I wouldn't give

[VanillaBean]

Do not forget - this is on tonight!!!!

[mom2fussbudgets]

Thank you. I'm rooting for James too. Don't want to see him blow it by being overconfident.

You nailed it. James blew it by being overconfident. I am SO upset! :( Now, I just really don't care who wins.

I thought it was cool of Peih-Gee to take Denise on reward.

[Cpogie]

What in the world was James thinking?? this is a game, he left 2 idols....gee, he was so close! Well I don't care who wins this now....

[TAMMY293115]

What in the world was James thinking?? this is a game, he left 2 idols....gee, he was so close! Well I don't care who wins this now....

I agree with you 100%. I can not believe he did not play one of them. If he would of played it he could of voted one of the guys and done the same next week and then he would of had a better chance to win imunity to get himself into the final four.....I don't care who wins either....I just hope it is not Amanda or Todd. I can not wait to see how they get food and water this week seeing James seemed to be the only one doing it on the other shows.

[mom2fussbudgets]

What'd ya'll think? I'm really hoping for an upset. I would love to see Todd get voted out next. I am liking Peih-Gee more and more.
