Survivor: China premiers Thursday September 20th and the new cast us up on the CBS website.

I think this might be a good season, the first time they will be away from the beach in a long time.

Check out Amanda's Bio!!!!! :app:

Montana girls .. you gotta love 'em!

How far do you think she survives on the show, Jim?

My guess is she makes it halfway through.

Cheers, Anne

Yea. I think you are right.

Look at the pipes on the grave digger dude! ;) Should be another good season. I LOVE Survivor.

Karen, are you still watching Big Brother? I am pulling for Daniele. She's a lot sharper than I thought she'd be, seeing/listening to her that first week.

There you are, Kristin! Yes, I am watching BB. I guess I am pulling for Danielle as well, I am not crazy about Eric, Zach and Jameka so that leaves Dick and Danielle. I just wish that she wasn't so whiny! I just read on a message board today that the reason they haven't been showing the sequester house has something to do with a legal issue with Jen.

I miss seeing the sequester house segments when the latest evictee walks in, I always love their reactions!

Oh YEAH! I guess I haven't even realized that they haven't been showing the sequester house. I agree, I love seeing their reactions. We've been recording the BB After Dark on Showtime (just watching bits & pieces) and sometimes it gets quite interesting...have you seen any of it? They don't censor a THING. Even Zach's "streak" to the pool!

Ahh, reality TV...what did we ever do without it? ;)

I was wondering why we hadn't seen the sequester house. Figures it would be something with Jen. Grrrr!!

I thought this article was interesting.

Kirstin, have you ever been to Joker\'s Big Brother? They post up to the minute accounts of what is going on with the feeds and in the forum link at the top, one of the forums a media forum where people post interesting videos of what happens on the feeds. I agree, what we don't see on TV is crazy, especially Eric at night, lol

Hmmm...very interesting, ladies! And last night's "fast forward" episode sure was wild!

I have a feeling they are going to discontinue that show...things are just getting more and more out of hand each season, it seems.

I am ready for tonight's season premier and I am also excited about the show being in China this season!

I'm ready!
Show Time! Come on Amanda! :app: :app:

Finally, :app: a new Survivor is starting this evening!

Woo hoo!!! Looking forward to it. :)

Well I guess "Chicken" should have spoken up when they were asking him his thoughts about the shelter. I sure thought the wrestler was gone.

I thought it was a really good premier. I liked Jim the grave digger, Frosti and cute curly headed guy :) I wasn't crazy about the skinny blond girl with the annoying attitude.

I sure hope they give them some of their clothes back, watching them in rags and underwear hurts my eyes ;)

OMG, the PIPES on that grave digger!!!

Karen, were you happy with E.D. winning Big Brother? He sure played a heck of a game, although he was rather SHOCKING at times...

Kristin, I chose Dick over Danielle, she was just toooo whiny for me!

I actually spent a few minutes last week voting for Eric to vote for Dick. He was just SO evil...I loved this season!! Even Jerel watched it with me!

I did watch the Survivor premiere. What's up with whiny blonde girl? I hope they get some clothes back too!!

I was glad o see Chicken go and hope that the blonde is next

Yes, the blonde is rude! Rolling her eyes at everything in situations that it's totally inappropriate. Hope she is next.

Well, it has been a while since we compared our thoughts as "Survivor China" progresses.

I was ok with all of the early elimination votes. I would like to see John-Robert go. He is annoying. I was very disappointed when Peih-Gee and Jaime decided to throw the challenge. Yes, I know they did it for strategic purposes but it wouldn't be the kind of choice I would make. Poor James is out of the game despite all of his hard work.

Do you think contestants will be sent back to their original tribes in the next episode? I wonder this because Jeff said something to the effect that it will be interesting to see how that strategy (of throwing the challenge) works out.

I like Erik and Frosti. I also liked Jaime until she and Peih-Gee lost the challenge on purpose.

Kathy, I don't have to give my opinions because I agree with everything you said!

I so wish that they would have swapped back the tribe members right BEFORE the vote!

Go James!!! I was so bummed that James couldn't bring himself to throw the challenge last night, I really wanted Pei Ge or Jaime to go home!!!
At least he has the immunity idol now!

OMG Karen! How about James taking that shower?! Lord have MERCY!

I was so surprised that shy James did that!! :eek:

I think James did try to throw that challenge, but when it became so apparent that there was no way that Denise was going to get that chicken (or was it duck) embryo down he finally, reluctantly, finished his.

I'll bet that shower scene will be brought up at the Survivor China Reunion show!

I think tonight's episode might of been the best one ever. Jaime presenting her "immunity idol" at the tribal council was priceless!

Agreed, Karen, we laughed our patootees off!

This is the first Survivor I have not watched since the show began! I completely forgot about the first night of Survivor China and have not seen one episode! :mecry:

Sue, you can catch up at the CBS site if you an sit in front of your PC for 7 hours, lol. They have all 7 episodes online for your viewing pleasure :) You really are missing a great season!

Yes, last night was certainly fun to watch. James is having such fun after being on such shaky ground just a few weeks ago.

I guessed exactly what Jeff meant by his comment as the merged tribe went off to their reward. I paid attention and was able to answer all the questions correctly. Of course it was easier for me to do that then it was for the contestants since I have not been starved over the past 30 days.

Here is the Jamie saga on video!

Thanks Karen...I loved seeing that AGAIN!

Next week we'll have Survivor and the Amazing Race - life is good! :)

Margo, I am so glad that they are bringing the race back early, waiting till January was making me antsy for something good to watch on Sundays!

Does anyone know how when the Survivor season finale is? I am tying to figure out if I need to tape the 3 hour Sunday finale while I am gone :)

Karen
I don't know either.
We had something to do and missed it Thursday.
HELP Someone!!

Jim:

This weeks episode was a recap of previous weeks - you didn't miss a thing.

But I don't know when they will air the finale.

Jim, like Margo says, it was a recap but there were a few morsels of new stuff sprinkled throughout like when Todd was imitating the rest of the Survivors. You can go to CBS to watch the episode. Click on Full Episodes and scroll down to Survivor.

Todd was the big winner. He got 4 votes to Courtney's 2 votes and Amanda's 1 vote. Jim Clement got a special award of $100,000 and Denise Martin got $50,000. Here's the link:
