Watching Survivor

(Part one)

They’re all excited about the private jet, where they got champagne and food, and were living in the lap of luxury. Peih-gee wastes no time making a power play and working Erik and Denise and start pimping them for the final three. Denise tells us that she knows what she’s doing, and will wait and see what happens, she doesn’t want to make any enemies.

They arrive at the temple, and Peih-Gee was excited to experience something from her culture, where they saw monks playing music and meditating. Denise is tells them that she’s been studying Karate for 8 years, and they ask her about it. She tells us of all the rewards, this was the one she would have wanted to see the most, and it was incredible to see where martial arts began, and the demonstration was incredible. )And it was - they were amazing! It all looked so effortless!

After the main exhibition, they joined a class with some kids and learned some moves. Denise picks up the moves quickly, and a monk asks her to demonstrate what she knows. Erik said it was cool to see her do it and he was impressed. “Denise - who knew?” Denise has no words to describe her experience.

They were fed, and then got to sleep in a room with mats and blankets and pillows. They all three just keep saying “Best, reward, ever!”

Day 29 and it’s raining back at camp, where they’re huddled in a hole, praying for the crowds to go away. It’s driving Todd nuts, and he says he’s done with the rain! Done! The Reward winners come back, and they refused to leave their hole to greet them, until Amanda came out to say hello. Denise knew no one would greet Peih-Gee and Erik. Peih-Gee told them about the reward, and Courtney says “the cave is the best thing I have, it’s my happy place!” and she was unhappy with Peih-Gee coming into her happy place and talking. No talking in the cave!

Denise gets with Todd and tells him that Peih-Gee and that she wants to vote out Todd, and he’s annoyed and hates her guts, of course. Erik talks to James and asks him if he’s tight with Todd, and he says that he’s just trying to win tomorrow, and James is laughing that he’s not going to go to the other side at this point, that makes no sense when it’s five against two. That’s not a happy place!

Day 30, and James is peeling something and eating it. Courtney and Amanda walk to get the treemail, which is hooked up with ninja throwing stars. Amanda talks to Courtney and puts forth the plan to get rid of James, because he’s in control. They’ll have to blindside him, else he use the idol. There’s no way anyone can beat him, and Amanda knows that now is the night. Amanda says James is always saying “don’t eat the apple, stay the course, don’t eat the apple…” but she’s ready to bite the apple and make the whole frickin pie!
