The new competition unleashes an eclectic group of castaways on the ancient south central province of Jiang Xi,
where they are prepared for adventure, danger and surprises in the hopes of winning

I did some snooping. Best guesses out there are that the unfinished business will be an immediate reward challenge consisting of a quiz possibly based on the Art of War book that they all received earlier. The reward will be an overnight trip to a Shaolin Temple (not sure if I spelled it right) like we saw in the Kung Fu series starring David Carradine.

How many people are on that Survivor ping list?

And what percentage of them actually look in here?

There are currently 122 FReepers on the Survivor Ping List.

Of which, if I had to venture a guess, I’d say 50 to 60 percent actually look in here. Of course not that many actually post.

You’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this, haven’t you?

Yes, I just started to watch it. After next weeks new episode, I will post the catch phrase title that goes along with the episode. I can’t say it now because it would give away the next one to be voted off.

I watched it too. Nothing new. I'd just as soon they took the night off as have a recap episode...

If we're going to see any alliances split, this is the week for it to happen. We all know that any serious shake-ups have to happen when it's 7 or 5 players... But for some reason, the people playing the game never seem to realize this. Wonder why?

Does anyone know of a Survivor fan site that isn’t full of left-wing A-holes? I hate having every other post on those sites be a call for some sort of violence to be inflicted on Republican Survivor Elisabeth. I’d just like to read and discuss Survivor, thank you very much.

In the words of Sue Hawk, if I ever met one of those liberal extremists and they were lying in the desert dying of thirst...well, you know the rest.

If you think that’s too extreme, read some of the crap they write. Sorry for venting, but I had to let that out.

(donning flame-proof suit and waiting for some wimpy RINO to whine “But liberalism is a religion of peace! They love their children too, even the ones they abort!”)

Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen,

Yep! It’s me once again with your:

SURVIVOR PING!

The Hae Da Fung (Black Fighting Wind) Tribe: Black Buffs
Amanda, Courtney, Denise, Erik, James, Peih-Gee, Todd

The Jury:
Jamie, Jean-Robert, Frosti

The losers:
Chicken, Ashley, Leslie, Dave, Aaron, Sherea,

The title of tonight’s episode is: ”Ready to Bite the Apple”

For hints on what to expect tonight, start highlighting at the - > below:

- > From the SeeBS website:
One Castaway grows anxious and threatens to change things up by blindsiding her best friend.
Also, an alliance considers blindsiding one of their own.
And all the castaways are blindsided by a surprise announcement from Jeff.


Well, it appears as if the “unfinished business” at Tribal Council is in fact the next Reward Challenge. Either it’s a Q&A about the “Art of War”, or Jeff tells one of his “background tales” and the players have to answer questions. Which ever it is, the reward appears to be a visit to a Shaolin Temple, along with a Kung Fu demonstration. My guess is that Amanda and James get to take the trip, since we are shown a vidcap of the two of them in line at the Immunity Challenge and they are the only two with “travel bags” and “porcelain canteens”.

Speaking of Immunity Challenges, and in keeping with the Kung Fu theme, this challenge appears to be a test of who can best use a “throwing star” at a target. Now at first glance you might think that Amanda and James would have an adventage, having just witnessed a demonstration of this technique, however as pointed out in their respective bios, both Erik (who is a baseball player), and Denise (who is a Second degree black belt in karate) lists "axe and knife throwing" as hobbies. So who wins this challenge? I’m guessing Erik.

And finally, speaking of “blindsiding” (after all, the SeeBS website, used the word THREE times in their hints.), James is completely blindsided at Tribal Council. Having no idea that he is about to be stabbed in the back by his alliance, he sees no reason to play either of the two hidden immunity idols, and as a result is booted tonight.

Well there you have it:

Cuz’s Weekly Survivor Picks

Start highlighting again: - >

Reward Challenge Winner: Amanda and James
Immunity Challenge Winner: Erik

I don’t know what James is thinking. They are down to seven players. He either needs to win immunity or play the idols.

Play one, down to six, win immunity, down to five, play the last one down to four.

JAMES PLAY IT IF YOU DON’T HAVE IMMUNITY!!!!!

Happy Post Thanksgiving! Hope everyone’s was great — except for the Survivor recap. By the way, anything worth reporting from that?

“Does anyone know of a Survivor fan site that isn’t full of left-wing A-holes?”

Nope. Sorry.

“If you think that’s too extreme, read some of the crap they write.”

Let me guess. If it’s like KOmmunistS and DUmmies it is required that you use the f-word at least twice in every sentence.

” . . . waiting for some wimpy RINO to whine “But liberalism is a religion of peace! They love their children too, even the ones they abort!”)”

Surely no such animal exists!

Also, five words: Beowulf, IMAX, 3-D, way cool!

And I will definitely be tuning in to watch “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” Check out this website. http://sarahconnorchronicles.org/

Beowulf 3D

As one who view the blockbuster Beowulf, SIFI TV Beowulf and now the Beowulf 3D I’d have to give each of them a thumbs up.

What was that his friend and number 2 man said - “Last time it was only three demons.”? :-)

Not one of the greatest movies as far as movies go, but certainly great fun.

Unfortunately, at the Primo Site, Television Without Pity, the Survivor recaps and board are monitored by “Miss Alli” who can’t help but insert her “Bush Sucks” and “Cheney Sucks” politics into everything. You’d think that now that she lives in NYC (TWoP was bought out by BravoTV so they’re all making money now).

Survivor Sucks isn’t as bad for the most part - they hate everybody.

I’m sorry - should have said “You’d think now that she lives in NYC she’d have a greater appreciation for the fact that terrorism is real, but you know, Irag War Bad! Patriot Act Bad! When she’s not thinking she’s an expert in military and domestic affairs, though, she’s actually a witty and engaging writer. Unfortunately her BDS is a big turnoff.

I’m going to have to miss tonights installment of Survivor China. There is something far greater than it on the NFL channel. Dallas will be beating the daylights(I hope) out of the Packers. THAT is must-see-tv.
