Watching Survivor

It’s been two weeks, and finally we will get to see what that ‘more business to attend too’ at tribal council involved! Last week’s recaplet only served to make me want more, as amusing as some of the ‘never before seen’ moments were. IS there going to be another castaway voted off? Will we see two people leaving? Will my man James survive another week? Let’s find out, shall we?

Jeff tells them they’re not going back to camp, because it’s time to participate in a reward challenge here at Tribal Council - the winner gets to travel by private jet hundreds of miles to the Xiu Lin (sp? that’s a total guess on my part…) temple, which is the home of Kung Fu, enjoy a demonstration, a vegetarian meal, and spend the night before returning to camp the next day. The winner of the challenge will pick two people to go with them. The challenge starts now…

(Or, after the opening credits and a commercial, of course!)

The challenge - answering questions about Chinese culture, first one to 5 wins.

1. China is credited with the invention of the abacus. True - Todd, James, Peih-Gee and Denise got it right.

2. Which animal does not belong to the Chinese zodiac - C- Cat, everyone got it right.

3. 99% of giant panda’s diet is bamboo… Denise is the only one who got it wrong, the answer is True.

Peih-gee, James and Todd has 3, everyone else has 2.

4. The Capitol of China is? Beijing, everyone was right except Amanda.

5. In Chinese culture, receiving a red envelope means that inside is…? Cash - Peih-Gee wins reward!

Peih-Gee chooses Denise and Erik to go with her on reward. Erik because they’ve been starving since the beginning, and Denise looks thrilled to have been chosen, and who wouldn’t be? They grab their torches and head back to camp.

Early the next morning, day 28, the boat arrives to pick up Denise, Peih-Gee and Erik. Denise is concerned leaving camp, it makes her nervous, but she’s still thrilled to go. At Camp, James claims he’s willing to frolic all the way to four with the ones who are left at camp. Todd says they thought it was nice, just the four of them, and there was no arguing at all. The four of them are in the Garden of Eden - if eve hadn’t have eaten the apple they’d be frolicking naked in heaven. Don’t be tempted, don’t eat the apple!

Amanda, however, tells us this is her chance to make a change in the game, and to make it happen. It needs to happen, and she’s ready.

(This is where my parenthetical asides start trying to get James’ attention… JAMES! YOOHOO! PAY ATTENTION!!!)
