Survivorfest China - week 2

The site has been updated to include pictures of the contestants who will now have to move on to other ventures, like Survivor All-Stars, seedy Cinemax movies and Dancing with the Stars. http://www.woltermanns.com/misc/survivor_2007.htm

My week 2 Survivor China thoughts:

At least Denise quit crying.

Unfortunately, Leslie started. I've seen people cry because they're in pain. I've seen people cry because they miss their family, friends, and even their dog. I've never seen someone cry because she misses her Bible. If I were a betting man (and judging by this site and this silly game we're all playing, I think I am) I would presume that Leslie might just have more than a few passages memorized. Or maybe she was just hoping for something heavy to hit Courtney with.

Ashley...two weeks and out. I had her pegged for at least the final six. I can almost see the CBS producers huddled up before the show trying to find some way to keep her on. "Can't we get rid of the one with the mullet instead? No one will complain!"

Is anyone else surprised that someone hasn't killed Dave at some point in his life?

What about that mud wrestling challenge? I'm pretty sure that has the record for the most blurred out sections of any Survivor. In fact, I'm still not sure I know what happened. All I saw for sure was James wading through little Frosti like he was the Incredible Hulk. And Ashley being dragged through the mud by the bag of Jean-Robert's pants. That's probably a sight she'll take to her grave.

Speaking of Jean-Robert, does anyone else question his early-game strategy? "I pretty much want to lay around and do nothing so that when I start contributing after we get food and shelter everyone will notice how much I've stepped up my game". I think I'll try that strategy at work...it'll leave me more time to invent stupid betting games.

I appreciate Todd's honesty (to the camera) and willingness to sell out any other member of the tribe. Particularly Leslie. I think he is actually excited about the prospect of swiping the immunity idol out from under her, voting her off and then taunting her as she extinguishes her torch with her own tears. He's a flight attendant, by the way. I have no doubt that he spits in the drinks of people who ask for an extra pillow.

Back for more Survivor China next week!
