"Survivor: China" running thread

Some of the mighty throws unleashed by the women in that challenge set the cause of women's lib back 20 years.

And how delicious is Amanda? Dayum.

 

Ashley took some ratings points with her; but hell, she probably figured "why the hell do I need the money to live starving and in bug-infested camps?

This show has not excited me in the least this season.

 

It's early but it has been pretty dull this season... Dave being gone won't help...

 

Jean-Robert might just win this.

And it has been a dull season. Some of these people are just tools.

 

I love the show, but there have definitely been a few seasons that don't measure up to the rest.

I remember the season with the Boy Scout leader who was voted off then allowed back and finished second being particularly bad... The one where they two people from the previous season sucked and the one where it was one guy and six women left (one of whom married Probst) was also a pretty bad season...

 

Just finished last night's episode, and for the record, I have liked this season.

James, man, what a screw job. I thought he was going to strangle someone at the end. He might before they all make it back to camp. I can't wait to see how he handles the next couple of days.

I think Jean Robert is screwed, too.

 

I had no problem with PG and Jamie doing what they did. It was a bullshit move, but strategically, it is hard to argue with.

However, they didn't have to be so freaking smug about it. I'm surprised James didn't smack those stupid smirks right off their faces. It sure looked like Probst wanted to take a swing at them.

The really bad part is they made no effort to hide what they were doing, and even admitted it. What happens if James blabs to his former tribemates about that at the next challenge? If he does -- and they're smart -- they'd try to throw the challenge so they can get rid of Frosti and Sereah.

Imagine what Probst's reaction would be if BOTH tribes are purposefully trying to lose the next immunity challenge. His head might explode.

 

They fucked up by taking out Aaron. Should have taken out James when you had the chance. If James makes the merge, he's perfectly capable of getting himself to the final three.

If they merge next time, James and Jeff tell all and those three are on there own. I don't see Sherea having any kind of loyalty at all.

You know how you know that those three are uber stupid? They didn't even consider when they got to pick two people that they might have to give up two people. Morans.

 

I don't really understand why they did that. If their plan was to screw over James and Aaron no matter what, why not just nuke James first? He obviously wanted to go.

Unless they figured Aaron was smart enough to blab to his old tribe the first chance he gets. Maybe they're banking on James being too dumb to do that.

 

They're clearly dumb, so it might be a waste to try and figure out their thinking, but even if we give them that, it's still a huge mistake to let James get one challenge closer to the merge: What if the next one isn't as easy to throw? What if it's something he can win largely on his own.

The other really dumb move was not telling the guy on their team they were going to throw the challenge before they did it. If he had any stones at all, he could have flipped over with James and Aaron and the three of them could have coasted into the final three.

 

He doesn't have stones. He's smitten. She has him wrapped around her finger.

 

He didn't look too amused when he went behind the props, grabbed and tossed the missing puzzle piece at the losers.
