Watching Survivor

(Part one, Part two)

Courtney is devastated (as well she should be), and Fei Long will be going to Tribal Council tonight, where one of the eight of them will be voted out.

Back at Fei long, the mood is very down, and Courtney says she “lost two hands and possibly a shoulder” and shows off her battle wounds. Jean-Robert says that it’s clear they need brawn, and strength on the team. Leslie talks about the other tribe and how three of them are Christans and that’s why they picked her. She cops to telling them little bits about them. She told them that Aaron is the leader, and he is not happy. He points out that she doesn’t think, her heart overcomes her brain. It scares him because of the merge, and what bonds she made over there.

Leslie and Todd talk to Courtney and how it was a hard challenge, and they know they need to break Jean-Robert and James up. They want Jean-Robert out first. He goes and talks to Amanda, and they talk Courtney vs. Jean-Robert. It’d be nice to keep Courtney, for later. And they decide to vote Jean-Robert. Todd is WORKIN two different alliances. I like this kid! They go to their main one and talk about Aaron, and he wants Leslie. He feels she’s more dangerous because she’s got friends on the other tribe. So now it’s Leslie vs. Jean-Robert. Todd doesn’t want the big guys in down the line, so he’s in a bind.

There’s a bigger group meeting, and Jean-Robert says Courtney or Leslie, and calls Courtney anorexic, and that one of them has to go. Ends when Courtney and Leslie walk up. Todd is doing the best he can to think strategically, and he’s unsure.

Tribal Council!
Fei Long lights their torches for the first time. Jeff talks about the challenges first, and Zhan Hu now knows they can beat the tribe. Jean-Robert is worried, because they have two of the strongest guys, but also have two of the weakest women. Courtney, of course. Jeff says that that can’t feel good, and she says for the past nine days, it’s been ‘where will you do the least damage’ because it’s always trying to put her, todd and leslie.

Jeff calls out Jean-Robert for trying to change what he said! “It’s not that I perceive them as week” “That’s EXACTLY what you said!” Go Dimples! Leslie says she spent the night with Zhan Hu, and she saw a tribe with Heart, and that her tribe lost because of Zhan Hu’s heart, not their strength. Jean-Robert says the heat has been on him, and he’s worried, and he feels he’s in danger and hopes he doesn’t get voted off.

Time to vote!
(Courtney “I’m voting for you because when you snore at night it sounds like someone is choking a walrus!” Awesome.)

The Votes: Jean Robert, Leslie, Jean-Robert, Sister Christian (Leslie), Leslie, Mom (Leslie) and the
third person voted from survivor China - Leslie.

Jeff says that it seems that the tribe needs to have fun, and do a better job utilizing each members unique strength. That’s it, grab your torches, head back to camp!

Next time on Survivor: Things heat up between Courtney and Jean-Robert, Sherea blows her cool at Dave, and both tribes get a lesson in the art of war.

What did you think of the episode? Am I the only one who just LOVES to watch James? Or the only one surprised when he actually started talking - and disappointed when he talked with JR? Heh. Sound off!
