Survivor China - Premiere

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

There has been more than one season of Survivor where the castaways have been thrown out with just the clothes on their backs. Don’t you think that people would have tried to plan their wardrobe to allow for that possibility?

And regarding the Buddhist temple...Jeff said that it wasn't a worship ceremony. I don't know about you, but when people are folding their hands, kneeling and bowing their heads in front of a bunch of idols, that's worship. Tink even said, "That lady left because she didn't want to worship those false idols." Amen, sister!

And here's what I think of the castaways:

Courtney the waitress is completely spoiled and disrespectful.

Jean-Robert needs to lay off with the whole “I’m a poker player, so I can read people.” It’s coming off a little pretentious. Also, I’d like if he would put his shirt back on. Thanks.

And did I mention that Courtney the waitress from New York is a spoiled brat? Yeah.

Sherea is saying, “I’m not an outdoorsy girl.” Uhm, yeah, did she know she was going on Survivor? “This is way harder than I expected.” Girl, it’s the first day! Get a grip. Oh, and could you please stop walking around in your Bali bra? Thanks.

I really wanted to like Chicken, but so far it’s not happening.

I like James the Gravedigger. He reminds me of the big guy in The Green Mile, who made me cry in the first 5 minutes of the movie. James almost made me cry with his humility. I hope nothing happens to change my opinion.

I think it’s ironic that the wrestling girl is the weakest, so far.

FIRST CHALLENGE

Oh yay, they get to keep their running shoes! I wasn’t sure how they were gonna handle 39 days in high heels and combat boots.

Fei Long wins! Really doesn’t make any difference to me at this point.

MOVING ON

I think it’s gonna be sad if Peih-Gee goes home because she’s bossy. She was so happy to be there and connect with her Chinese roots! But she’s a little too arrogant, isn’t she?

Liking Chicken a little bit more, but I’m pretty sure his mouth is gonna get him in trouble. He’s missing that filter between his redneck brain and his mouth.


TRIBAL COUNCIL

WOW, I did not see that coming – Chicken's outta there!

Aw, and his goodbye speech was sweet.

Okay, that’s all I’ve got this week. Now, I’ve got to go watch Beauty and the Geek on my DVR.

Later!
