Survivor: China: ‘Love Is In The Air’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Survivor, Features,
With boss man Dave now voted off, the remaining members of Zhan Hu were able to enjoy a leisurely day of rest. (In other words, they all pulled a Sherea.) But despite the lack of conflict around camp, Frosti was feeling a bit uneasy. Tired of losing, the student athlete was eager for something different. Meanwhile, a flirtation between Jaime and Erik started to blossom. After a whopping 13 days together, they hadn’t yet pinpointed each other’s faults. Believing she could trust Erik (he did, after all, ‘fess up to being a virgin), Jaime decided to share her knowledge about a hidden immunity idol.
At Fei Long, James and Denise continued their hard work around camp. The unusual pair had formed a strong bond and respect during their time together. Later, the tribe welcomed a surprise guest: a fisherman with a game-changing message. The group was instructed to choose two Zhan Hu warriors who could best benefit their team. Once selected, the competitors would be brought to their camp. Fei Long was apprehensive about making a choice because they realized what this would mean: two of their tribal members would soon be gone. Of course, Zhan Hu would take James—but who else would they snag? Hoping to steal their strongest options, Fei Long picked Frosti and Sherea.

Survivor: China: ‘Ride the Workhorse ‘Til the Tail Falls Off’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Survivor, Features,
Although Jean-Robert was narrowly sent home at the last Tribal Council, he felt confident about his future in Fei Long. His ‘Start Lazy Then Improve’ strategy was going according to plan; his tribe members were starting to acknowledge his recent contributions around camp.
At Zhan Hu, Frosti made a moldy discovery about their valuable rice. Hoping to salvage what they could, Sherea attempted to separate the contaminated portions. Of course, her chosen method didn’t please Dave—and he made sure to tell her so. Fed up with his bossiness, Sherea blew him off. Later, Sherea starting disposing empty shells much to Dave dismay. When he realized what she was doing, he begged her to stop (he wanted to take some home to his mother). Unfortunately, Sherea really wasn’t interested in anything he had to say at that point. When Dave tried to approach her, she became extremely testy and told him to back off.

Survivor: China: ‘I Lost Two Hands and Possibly a Shoulder!’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Survivor,
Having just won another Immunity Challenge, Fei Long got to rest comfortably at home. Unfortunately, Jean-Robert’s snoring and touchy-feely ways made it an uneasy night for any woman positioned next to him. As Leslie put it, Jean-Robert simply didn’t understand ‘the social game of Survivor’.
At Zhan Hu, Peih-gee was urging worker bee Dave to settle down and rest. She was worried he’d overexert himself and wind up useless in yet another challenge. He, of course, brushed her off and insisted he was fine. Later, when the other tribe members made a question about the fire pit, Dave quickly interrupted his nap to fix the situation himself. Despite having recently been on the chopping block, he continued to play the annoying martyr.

Survivor: China: ‘My Mom Is Going To Kill Me!’

Zhan Hu returned to their camp down a Chicken but up a (self-established) leader. Dave denied wanting the leadership position, but claimed he only stepped up because no one else at Tribal Council would. (Well, Peih-gee did enthusiastically volunteer…you were just ignoring her.) Unfortunately, having someone finally in charge didn’t really improve the situation at their wet, miserable camp. Dave insisted he didn’t want to ‘belabor’ their work, but spent too much time arguing with certain members over strategy or condescending others over implementation.
At Fei Long, things looked considerably drier and much quieter—that’s if you were able to ignore Jean-Robert’s incessant snoring. Awake later a strategy session, Jean-Robert piped up and said his team should ‘rest more’. When Aaron confronted him about his laziness, Jean-Robert assured his team he was valuable because the wheels were continuously ‘churning in his head’. (Jean-Robert later revealed in private that this was his ‘You Can Only Go Up From Here’ poker strategy. He wanted them to think he was lazy—that way he could impress them once he did choose to contribute.) Huh?? Meanwhile, Todd and Amanda formed the first red team alliance. To make themselves less vulnerable, they wooed Aaron into their group with those two enticing words: ‘Final 3’. Todd and Amanda were hoping someone more vocal would take the fall should they come under attack later.

Survivor: China: ‘A Chicken’s A Little Bit Smarter’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Survivor,
Already in its 15th season, the producers of Survivor continue to prove they will never lack locations to exploit. This time around they stepped back in time and journeyed to one of the oldest countries of the world: China.
The 16 contestants traveled by train from Shanghai to a 16th century Buddhist monastery where the ever-youthful Jeff Probst was waiting for them. (I don’t know why they call Ryan Seacrest today’s version of Dick Clark; I really think Probst could give him a run for his money). Upon arriving, the competitors were informed they’d be participating in a Buddhist ceremony. Although Jeff assured them this was not a religious ceremony (just a way for the the natives to ‘welcome’ the new guests), Leslie (the Christian radio talk show host) felt extremely uncomfortable and walked out before it was even over.
