Survivor: China

[Melanie]

Dave is DISGUSTING!!!

[thrillme]

I don't know I'm probably the only one who really didn't care about the conversation between J. Rober and James. Was it "polite"...no...but it was a conversation they didn't think anybody was listening in...and my experience...guys talk...but then...girls talk too...they were just caught. Then again...maybe they DID know they were listening and they wanted to ruffle their feathers...knowing that logically the rest of the crew wasn't going to vote off the muscle first.

I found my self screaming at the TV at Courtney. I don't like her to begin with...she thinks James and J-Rober's conversation was rude. Flipping your hands around in the temple was rude...rolling your eyes and dogging all your tribe members is rude. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure if you don't have the strength to hack it...SAW it...I wanted her to go soooooo bad. She was worthless and I don't feel a bit sorry for her. It didn't even look like she was trying.

I thought Leslie was a sweet lady but she's got to learn there are times to open your mouth and times to keep it shut...

Getting along with the opposite tribe: $10
Getting another clue to the immunity idol: $25
Telling YOUR tribe members all about how wonderful the other tribe is: PRICELESS

WHAT WAS SHE THINKING??? Oh well...

And Todd...HELLOOOOO....just how far does he think he's going to go if he keeps the "wimps" and votes off the muscle BEFORE the merge?

Dave has soooooo got to go. I'm done with him after last night. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but last night he needed to be beaten. I'm so glad James was the last man standing. I have no need for another Richard.

Dave is DISGUSTING!!!

Ummm yes ... I concur. Another shining moment in this season ... although admittedly it's certainly not the first time that's happened. Unfortunately.

Guys may talk, but there's a difference between "guy talk" and what those two were saying (at least, IMO).

[disneydrmr]

Blech. What a mess these people are. Another episode laden with nasty people running around in their undies.

I'm not likin' this season at all so far.

This just may be the first season ever that I don't watch all the way to the end.

I said the exact same thing to my dh last night... I might give it one more chance... but my stomache was turning after watching last night... DISGUSTING all around!

I know that these are all just people and will have their good and bad moments, but it is hard for me to like James as much as I did after his disgusting bonding with Jean Robert.

I know.. James was the one I had chosen to root for... but after last night.. welllll.. I hope both he and Jean Robert (the disgusting slime) get booted pretty quick! Since this is a family friendly site I won't even tell you guys what I was telling a friend I would like to do to him.. but it involved the stuff you throw into the ocean to bait sharks, sharks and the part of Jean Robert's body that he kept refering to when talking about Courtney...

I don't know ... there's something about this season so far that just feels very cheap. Like they've decided to go for the lowest common denominator in terms of entertainment. Pro-wrestling style challenges ... people running around barely dressed ... men making demeaning and vulgar comments about women ...

I always somehow felt that Survivor managed to stay above that. For the most part ...

Are you a mind reader Ian?

Ummm yes ... I concur. Another shining moment in this season ... although admittedly it's certainly not the first time that's happened. Unfortunately. Guys may talk, but there's a difference between "guy talk" and what those two were saying (at least, IMO).

And another great big .... someone needs to slap those two silly! BUT... from the way it was portrayed it was mostly Jean Robert doing most of the saying.. he's just all around disgusting.. man - if they merge and Jean Robert and Dave are both still around.. UGH!

[bleukarma]

I agree. The conversation was mostly Jean Robert saying stuff and James agreeing. I don't see James as innocent after that, but I still will give him a shot. Just the fact that he has the survival skills from Borders and no body else bothered makes me think that he deserves a shot at the million!

Now why would Dave think that fighting in the nude is a good idea?! Gross!

[thrillme]

I think he must have thought it was going to throw their "groove" off. It was still nasty.

Right now I think the ones to watch are Amanda, Jessie (the other blonde not Courtney) and maybe the "lunch lady" on the guys side...Right now maybe Frosti. I really can't say anything about Erik...I haven't really noticed him yet.

Dave is DISGUSTING!!!

Man is he ever!!

[Lacy]

I agree with everything that is being said here. This may be the first Survivor that I don't finish watching. Please give them some challenge clothing or at least their swim suits! At least they blurred Dave out but I thought some of the people in their underwear needed to be blurred as well.

And I'm not all that excited about any of the people except for maybe Todd. I thought Leslie was nice but she said too much so I can't disagree with their decision to vote her out. Although Courtney should have gone instead based on her challenge performance.

Plus, it is getting harder to justify watching Survivor instead of the Office. I have a TiVo so when I'm home I can watch both of them but this week I was gone and elected to TiVo Survivor instead of the Office...I think that was a mistake.

[SBETigg]

Man, you all are killing me! I missed this week except for the tribal council. I was signing books in NJ and tuned in just in time to see Leslie get the boot (which seemed okay to me, considering what I heard, but now I am not so sure). I'll have to catch it on CBS.com and chime in afterwards. I do know that I didn't like Dave, Leslie, Jean Robert, Courtney, and Pei-gee previously, but James?. Hmm. I'll wait and see.

[SBETigg]

What, no round of applause that bossy, obnoxious, patronizing Dave is gone? Wooo! I was pleased. But I have to say, Sherea was looking like a good candidate for the boot as well. I hate it when people don't pull their weight around camp. As if everyone else doesn't want to save their strength for challenges, too? Things need to be done.

It's so funny that they keep showing that Immunity Idol and no one has figured it out yet.

[offwego]

The challenges were great but the dave/sherea thing was really annoying. And his speech at the end! Whoa....amazing what a lack of water/food and sleep does to folks.

[Momof2boys]

He was so creepy

Glad Dave's gone

[bleukarma]

I’m glad “crazy Dave” is gone! He caused so much tension in the tribe! It seems like he was always arguing with someone. Although with the Dave/Shereah toss-up, I didn’t care who they picked. I hate it when people don’t pull their weight and sit around and watch other people do it! She’s saving her energy for the challenges?!! Obviously that “strategy” isn’t working since they lost the challenge and ended up in tribal council anyway!!! I SO wanted someone to point that out last night! Haha

It was surprising to hear Jean Robert bust out with Mandarin last night! And I have a feeling the talk between Jean Robert and James put a sour taste in James’s mouth. James was really snapping at John Robert yesterday. Maybe we should give James more credit then we did last week? Hmm…..

So…is Todd the only one that knows the clues to the immunity idol now? Well, Dave never actually knew the clues but he knew that Todd has them. Todd might be in a pretty good position. And it looked like he kind of figured it out.

[disneydrmr]

One jerk down, one more to go! I sure hope Jean Robert is gone next week.. then maybe Survivor will be enjoyable to watch again... he gives me the creeps.. makes me sick every time he comes on screen.

I agree, I think Todd is in the best position right now. If he can figure out the idol clues...

I'm still not cheering for anyone in particular... no one is really jumping out for me...

[thrillme]

I'm glad Dave is gone but in a sense I really would have preferred to see Shera gone. Yes Dave is annoying but he did at the very least pull his weight around camp. I probably would have said something very directly to Shera and tell her to "get off her lazy you know what and do something rather than lie around in her undies". That whole thing between her and Dave throwing out the moldy rice was ridiculous. I probably would have let him keep it and go off and try to find something better. There in a jungle. I can go hiking in a local state park and find "snacks". Surely there's food there with all those animals hanging out.

I couldn't help but chuckle when Dave went to hug James for giving him the lime and James replied to the tune of..."Wha'd I'd tell you about huggin man"....

Right now Shera and Courtney are HIGH on my list for the getting rid of...My favorites right now I'm leaning toward Amanda (of course things can change). Erik is kinda cute.

I'm not all that sure they really "benefitted" from the fishing lesson unless the "supplies" were left behind.

I agree- Sherea and Courtney are not favorites at all. I believe they did win supplies along with the lesson. I'm thinking they got to keep the net, but those fishing birds were amazing.

[2Epcot]

So far I've not been very impressed with this season. I gave the show another chance because it was in China, but I'm remembering why I stopped watching Survivior after the Amazing Race started. I will keep watching for now, and hope it gets better.

I totally agree with you. I was glad to see Dave go as he irritated me to no end, however if I were playing the game Sherea's lazy butt would be gone. I would rather keep someone who is annoying but pulls their weight over someone who does nothing but lie around in their underwear all day!

[Ian]

Eh ... Aaron's gone ... Do I care? Not really ...

[pixiesmimi]

I have to say, if I was voting, Jaime would go next and then P Q. That made me so mad how they threw the challenge and were laughing about it. And then laughed at James afterwards. How rude can you get? If you want to vote someone off, just vote them off. Don't act so smug and throw the challenges! Chances are they would have lost that one anyway. They always lose. I can understand why James would be so mad. If that happened to me, I would be irate that they intentionally threw it and then laughed about it. James and Aaron didn't ask to come over there. They should be glad they had two strong men to help them start winning for a change.
