"Survivor: China" running thread

The best part was seeing Courtney, with her massive vendetta against Jean-Robert, vote out Jaime.
I want to take Courtney and JR to the Final 3. Write me the million-dollar check now.
Great editing in the runup to TC. Practically everybody was a target (except Frosti, with immunity).

 

The whole time I wondered if she was smart enough to switch idols with James.

No. No she wasn't.

 

This episode was a riot. I just can't believe she didn't even look at what the idol looked like that James had hidden in his bag I still can't decide if James is stupid or smart yet, but Jamie is a lot more stupid than I thought she was!

 

This episode really made me like James more than I already did. I think I'm officially rooting for him now.

"That means ... HA HA HA ... she has a blank board ... HA HA HA ... PLEASE let this happen! Please!!!"

 

Best part to me:

Jeff Probst: This is not an immunity idol

Jean-Robert (dead man walking if it is): Oh thank God!!!


Great episode.

 

I'm hoping James wins this thing. He's a great competitor and pretty funny now that he's opening up.

As for Jamie checking out his immunity idols, perhaps it was too dark for her to see. She was doing that in the dark and we were watching via nightlight cameras.

And she and PG proved they were stupid by trusting James to not flip back to his original tribe. Let's see, you throw an immunity contest so you can ditch either Aaron or James. But then you expect James to suddenly side with you because you didn't throw the next one? Idiots.

 

By the way, I've been completely unimpressed with Jean-Robert. With his professio, which is to read people's minds and subsequently fuck with them, he should be a mental mastermind. Instead, he's too busy being a douchebag to really take control.

The Mormon kid is the best player, but everyone's starting to realize it and now he's going to have to find a way to save his own ass before long.

 

I think Todd's playing the game PG would like to play, only she's too stupid to pull it off. Maybe my perception of her will forever be clouded by her decision to take a dive in the immunity challenge, but I just don't think she's near as bright as she thinks she is.

I think James is in the driver's seat. He's got two immunity idols, and has to be considered the favorite to win any physical immunity challenges. Even if his teammates start to turn on him, he's got two free tribal councils before he has to worry. All he needs to do is keep his eyes open for a double-cross from Todd, who really is a cunning player.

Of course, the previews for next week's episode show Todd pitching the idea of turning on James, which tells me James decided to keep both idols for himself instead of splitting them with Todd. Hopefully James is bright enough to see it coming.

 

That's his M.O. at the poker tables as well. He's making a living playing poker, but he's not raking in huge paydays.

that tribal council may have been the best all-time. the smugness by the blonde, the look on j.r.'s face when the "idol" was played and then afterward when he was safe, the chuckles by james and finally, the blonde again when the "idol" got tossed in the trash. simply priceless.

 

People will soon realize that they all have an agreement to make it to the final three with Todd. But how do they expect to make it past all of the immunity challenges with Todd and Amanda as their flag bearers?

 

It was good, but I was hoping for a little better.

The way they edited it, she appeared to be on a runaway train toward embarrassment and stupidity. I was hoping she'd say something cocky and smart ass, dance around with the blank board and show it off while handing it into Jeff.

Instead she saved face a little by at least pointing out that she didn't know what it was and thought it might be an idol.

Strictly for an eye-candy standpoint, I'll miss her. I get nauseous looking at Courtney in addition to her stupid reject attitude.
