Survivor: China

[VF21]

Yes! It's Survivor time!

Here's the list of new survivor candidates from my favorite Survivor website:

http://www.survivorupdates.com/postt1829.html

Sherea - ( Elementary Teacher ) - Being over here in China has been great. I think it's you know great that we are the first group to ever be filmed over here

"Chicken" - (Chicken Farmer ) I'm the older guy - there's no doubt about it - I'm down far from being the best lookin' one in the group too. I've watched a lot of the show- it's your mouth that's gonna get you in trouble- quicker than anything else.

James - ( Grave Digger ) I'm in the burial business. I bury people. If need be the bad boy will come out.

Peih- Gee ( Jeweler ) You know it's funny - the first thing people say to me when I told them I was going to be on survivor was oh my god you are going to be the *****.

Denise ( School Lunch Lady ) I try to be positive - outgoing - friendly. You don't want to get on my bad side though because that's not pleasant.

Eric- ( Musician ) I'd say I am more of a good boy. I definitely have my bad side but I'm more of a nice guy. I don't try and be a bad *** or take advantage of people.

Frosti- ( Parkour Athlete Student ) Yeah I am only 20 years old so I am the youngest Survivor contestant ever. Pretty soon we'll be changing that to the youngest Survivor winner ever.

Courtney - ( Waitress ) I pretty much think the censors are going to have a field day anytime I speak on the show - I don't even hear myself when I start swearing. On the subtitles there will be a lot of ?? !! *** and I know there is gonna be a lady that reads the bible every 10 seconds and she is gonna hate me.

Leslie- ( Christian Radio Talk Show Host ) You know I think that being a Christian Radio Host is going to be helpful to me in so many levels. Just the fact that I am a Christian is very helpful to me because I have my faith.

Ashley - ( Professional WWE Wrestler ) I'm a Professional Wrestler - I work with the WWE - I'm a WWE Diva - I do have a signature move- it's all Star Struck - ( shows her star tattoos on each arm ) ala the star tattoos on by elbows - big elbow off the rope - and I hope not to have to use it on someone.

Dave ( former Model ) I'm a real goof ball. I have a very unpredictable side. I'm modest and I'm not shy so those things don't govern my actions.

Amanda - ( Hiking Guide ) My role is going to be the up- lifter - I'm a very positive person so I want to be the one that they know is competitive that works hard and tries but yet can lift everyone's spirits when they need to be lifted.

Todd ( Flight Attendant ) This is my game- this is something that I've wanted for so long. I just get all smiley thinking about it. I just picture myself in the Final 2 knowing that's how far I got and at that point - it's out of my hands.

Jean- Robert ( Professional Poker Player ) I'm use to comfortable hotels and casinos, air conditioning- not really the outdoors type. 16 Players and the chance for a million dollars I mean that's as good as any odds that you can expect.

Jamie- ( Student ) I am the Southern Bell of the group. I'm pretty sure I got that one under control. There is a Jamie that wants what she wants and gets what she wants.

Aaron - ( Surfing Instructor ) I get along with people that are really really honest and true to themselves and I really like to have people who are blunt and they don't beat around the bush. To win a million dollars on this show- is there anything I wouldn't do ? I don't think so.

I think this season is gonna be interesting!!!

Spoiler

wanted to see that chicken dude for a while. Pfft.

 

[VF21]

REMINDER: A lot of people don't see it until an hour later than we do, nebs, so I altered your post so as not to ruin it for those who haven't seen it yet.

Very interesting!!

 

[Evenstar]

awww i had hoped chicken would last longer. he was entertaining. survivor needs to cast more redneck/hibillie/hicks. one per season isn't enough. his reaction to being voted off was hilarious!!!

i haven't picked favorites yet, but my goodness arron is HOT!!!!

i love how it's back to 16 contestants. hopefully no more double boots, no more exile island. lets get back to keeping it simple. the only sad news is i hear it's going to be final 3 again..i freaking hate that....

 

[JoMama]

Geez, I didn't even realize "Survivor" was still on the air.

As for more rednecks and hicks on the show, how about this scenario: 16 ACLU lawyers placed in the mountains of West Virginia. Now that would be a real test of survival! "Squeal like a pig....."

 

[VF21]

Sure looks like a lopsided contest so far. I have to admit I'm rooting for Dave to be eaten by dragons or whatever else might be roaming the Chinese countryside. Talk about annoying... I wasn't too upset with the departure of Ashley, however. All those hoops, posts, etc. sticking out of various places on her anatomy were a little distracting. I kept worrying that someone would hook a finger in one of the hoops on her face and create a real "survivor" incident...

I still don't have an early favorite.

 

[Evenstar]

i wasn't sad to see ashley go.

aaron is emerging as my male candy for the sesaon. i also like that gay flight attendant, i forget his name, but he's hilarious! and he knows what he's doing, i'll root for him to go far. he's very smart in the ways of survivor.

 

[VF21]

The flight attendant is Todd.

 

[Evenstar]

The flight attendant is Todd.

thanks

i just love him. i hope he goes very far.

 

[VF21]

Already some interesting dynamics developing.

I can't believe they didn't get rid of Courtney while they had the chance. Talk about someone with no value to the group. I predict they'll regret it.

 

[Evenstar]

i actually really agree with them voting off leslie. she was very well liked in the tribe, and with a possible switcharoo coming, they had to get rid of her. she was too dangerous. she could have easily turned on them, so they were saving their bacon long term. smart long term move. if they should happen to lose again then courtney will be gone.

 

[VF21]

Okay, I had to revive this thread just to comment on what has to be the funniest, most proof of idiocy moment in the history of Survivor. When Jaime thought she had the hidden immunity idol, bragged about and tried to reveal it at tribal council, it was funny enough. When Jeff, however, informed her it wasn't an immunity idol and simply tossed it into the fire I laughed so hard I cried. Major kudos to Jeff Probst who deserves an Emmy for not breaking into uncontrollable laughter right in her face. What an idiot...

 

[nebs]

That was probably the funniest moment I have seen on that show.. You could see it coming a mile away and she just walked right into it.

 

[tubiscus]

I just watched it, and woke one of the kids laughing. I have to be honest, I've been a James fan, but I'm almost to the point that I don't like any of these people.

 

[mcsluggo]

what i DO like about all of this, is how up-in-the-friggin-air it actually seems to be. Why these folks (on the dominant tribe) won't just sick with a strategy for the short run at this point is beyond me... but it makes it a helluva lot more entertaining

 

[VF21]

I agree totally, Doc. This is the first year I haven't even had a glimmer of a real favorite. I do admit to liking James, but I think part of it is the whole "gravedigger" mystique.

These people should take a group photo for the next edition of whatever picture dictionary they prefer. They truly are the textbook example of "clueless."

 

[mcsluggo]

I kinda like James too, but I stilll woulda TOTALLY loved to see him get blindsided last night! That would've been priceless (although his facial reactions when he wasn't SURE whether or not he was hosed AND he had BOTH idols sitting in his bag... still pretty damn good!)

the simple fact (to me) is that it is always more interesting when alliances are getting flipped over topsy-turvy.. and there is ALL SORTS of room for different permutations this season

(I DESPISE the seasons where there is a solid group of 4, and then they have a solid second group of 3 sheep that they lead along... and the whole season is just an inexorable march from to week to week to the predetermined end. Very good fro the good players that set set up that situation... very dull to watch)

 

[C Diddy]

Is it just me, or would this now not be the perfect time for Eric, Peih Gee, and Frosti to get James over to their side and do some real damage? From the previews, James seems farily incensed that he got some votes. I think he'd be open to switching sides and taking down those who feel a bit too comfortable (i.e. Todd and Amanda).

 

[VF21]

I think it would be the perfect time. The problem is that they (meaning E, PG and F) have the strategic acumen of sea monkeys (and that's probably unfair to the cute little pseudo-crustaneans).

 

[Evenstar]

that was so stupid to vote off JR this week. they should have voted out james who is a HUGE immunity threat.... james didn't bring his idols to TC! it would have been the perfect blindside! instead they vote off a fat and non immunity threat in JR just because he's annoying?? that move migt cost todd the game....

I think you are right. James got away with one. I can tell you this though, I know James isn't going to NOT bring those HII's anymore, provided he doesn't win the IC.

I hope James wins it all though.

I just want to rant on one thing before I end this little post. The last IC was clearly designed for the "lighter weights" in the game.

Ok, I'm done.

 

[hoopsfan]

They've also had challenges that use physical strength...it evens out.

 

[Evenstar]

i suspect a mental/puzzle based challenge is coming soon......

i just love todd... i don't think he wins but i hope he does my man ( aaron) got voted out... i like james... the girls are too boring... but we havent had a female winner in a while ugh...
