Watching Survivor

Previously on Survivor…

We start at Zhan Hu where everyone slept in a bit, and Sherea is digging the relaxed vibe around camp without Dave’s abrasive presence. Peih-Gee decides to take the leadership reigns, and says if everyone pitches in, they’ll be strong at camp and for the challenges, and she thinks that’s what the other tribe is doing. Of course “It helps that they have James!” (gee, foreshadow much, guys?) Sherea feels like the outsider and wants to spice things up and get some drama up because the other four clique up and leave her feeling out of the loop.

We go back Zhun Hu and Erik tells us they feel like their in the Garden of Eden setting, minus all the food, and they’re a man and a woman and… they’re in the water flirting and Jaime says she hasn’t been able to find anything wrong with him, and cut to him telling her she’s a virgin. He’s saving himself for the right person. She says it’s great and it proves he’s trustworthy and she wants to “make it with him to the very end”. In a proof of her trust, she tells him how they get the clues for the Hidden Immunity Idol. It’s flirt central up in there.

Over at Fei Long, Denise finally gets some screen time, while james tells us he’s carrying the tribe with the challenges, but Denise is strong, compliments and works with you, and he finds that attractive, she’d be in trouble if he was 10 years older! She says they get along well, and their work ethic connects them, and she feels she can trust him and ride his coattails as long as she can.

They eat a breakfast of some shrimp, and then a boat comes in and gives them a message. They are to choose the two members from Zhun Hu who they think will be the biggest benefit to their tribe, and circle their names. The fishermen will then go and pick up the members and bring them back. Aaron, of course answers what the catch would be – they’ll have to give up two of their own, and it’ll likely be James and Aaron. That’d be the smart thing to do, as they are the strongest and it’s all about strength. Smart cookie, that Aaron…

Todd figures that’s exactly what will happen, and they make a tribe decision on who they’re going to pick. Frosti is their number one, and they choose Sherea as a smart move. She is the better performer on the Challenges, but Todd says it’s kind of crazy, because everything they’ve planned is on pause.

Back at Zhan Hu, they do get the same note, and they prove how stupid they are because they have NO IDEA hey will have to give up some of their own. Peih-Gee is crowing because the power has totally shifted to their side, and they’re all excited about getting the advantage of adding Aaron and James to their team, without having to give up anything.
