Survivor: China premiered tonight. FINALLY. I l-o-v-e Survivor and am stoked (what am I a surfer?) that it’s in a new locale. Come on, one more coconut and I’d be done for! Plus, there are regular shots of pandas! They’re just too cute.
So. My faves & loathes:
Leslie, the Christian DJ. I hope she can work it out. I think she handled the Buddhist monk temple thingie pretty good. She didn’t make a big deal out it. Honestly, if Jeff hadn’t said anything the only people that would have noticed were the ones right next to her. She was in the back and when she did finally get out of the door, she was very emotional. It wasn’t like she was saying, “Ahem! Everyone, I’m a CHRISTIAN and I think you are all sinners! Yes, you, Mr. Monk! I’m going to stand outside while you sacrifice your souls to the devil!” I think she was trying to do what everyone was doing but just felt wrong & had to get out.
James, the grave digger. Are you in love with him or what? Sweet as pie. And muscles rippling all over the place. Honestly, he kinda scared me his arms are so big! YIKES. I can’t remember exactly what he said but it was basically, “Well, gosh, I’m a grave digger because I like to be alone. I’m just not good at all this communicating stuff. I’m just gonna have to try harder so people will like me!” He’s cute and a hard worker.
And it looked like he and Leslie might have a little thing going. Oh, I hope so! I like them for a good alliance.
Todd, the gay mormon. (I’m sorry, but does that seem to be an oxymoron?) I like him. He’s young, smart and realizes that he’s actually playing SURVIVOR, the game show. I think he’ll do good. As long as he doesn’t play the gay card. Because I can’t stand when people play their obvious card. It never works, look at all those cheesy girls every season who think they are playing the “sex-card”. Whatever.
Ashley, the WWF diva or whatever. She needs a shirt. Please, someone give the woman a shirt. Preferably a high collared one.
Sherea, the teacher. Girl, I hope none of your students are watching because…uhm…you forgot to wear clothes to the challenge. Yeah, you just had on some you know, panties and a bra. And that’s all. Next time. Raid the clothesline. Please.
Everyone else was pretty inconsequential to me: the former model, the NYC girl, the Chinese girl, the rest of you interchangeable tribe members–let’s see something fun happen, ok?!
But seriously, did they have to vote off the only guy who might actually know something about living off the land? The only guy who’s lived through the entire ten years of the 80’s? Poor Chicken. He shouldn’t have been so…well, chicken. He could have done more for that tribe.
That’s all I’ve got…oh, except for I forgot to tell you the best part of my Survivor Premiere–I had a party! Yes, complete with chicken fried rice & eggrolls. Plus, I made the BEST dessert ever–candy sushi. Think rice krispie treat, a swedish fish on top, wrapped in fruit by the foot! I might take a picture of the leftovers in the morning so you can see how Martha-ish I can be!
Are you watching Survivor? Who’s your pick?
Southern Girl says
I’m watching “Survivor”! And I LOVED Leslie and James. Kinda liked Aaron, too. I probably wouldn’t have voted off Chicken, but I can’t say that I’ll miss him either. 😉 The one I’d love to see go is Courtney, the “people from NYC are better than everyone else” girl. Fair or not, it’s people like her who make me glad I’m in the South. So she needs to go SOON. ;-D

I LOVE Survivor! I like Leslie and James too…wished Probst hadn’t said anything about Leslie leaving. We couldn’t believe he kept saying it wasn’t a worship thing, yet they were in a temple and bowing down, what does that sound like!
Don’t like NYC girl either….not much on Ashley right now and don’t know enough about the others yet.
I’m glad they’re not on an island!
Filtering Life says
I have not watched survivor in years….butI have to say it actually looks really good this year. There are too many good shows on and I feel so guilty for sitting in front of the TV that much…ugh.
I am so glad you liked Chloe’s jeans, everyone thought I bought these huge jeans and rolled them…no peeps…they came that way, they are stitched like that, Old NAvy’s vintage line. I got them for $7.99 the end of the summer, not sure if they still carry them, but I love their vintage line, cutest styles without being over the top!
Kristin says
I was totally rooting for Chicken at the beginning…I couldn’t believe they voted him off. I would have voted that lazy wrestler chick off.
I also don’t like NYC girl. Could she be more stuck up?
I am in love with James. My hubby wants him to put his shirt back on because those muscles make me swoon ;).
I also thought Leslie handled the temple thing well. My hubby doesn’t understand why a Christian would go on this show but just maybe she’ll be a good witness throughout the season.
I’m looking forward to it…and it’s cool that it’s in China this year!
Keiti says
I am so completely in love with James – he’s just far too yummy for words, really.
And I agree with Southern Girl about Courtney – If I could have reached through the TV and slapped her upside the head, I sure wouldn’t have hesitated to do it.
My favorite line: Leslie (after having left the Buddist Temple) “I’m not religious, but I have a relationship with Jesus Christ.” I understand the difference between being religious and being spiritual, but her saying that struck me as a bit odd. Have no idea why, really.
a happier girl says
I liked James too. He seems really strong too. And I thought it was sweet of Leslie to go out of her way to chat him up and give him advice on how to socialize with everyone else.
dcrmom says
I agree with your take. Chicken was just a dork. He could have helped, but he wouldn’t say a thing. What was UP with that!?
Alexis says
I love Survivor! I love James too. Hubba hubba! Aaron lived in my DHs dorm in college for two years. Kinda weird, but he is nice on the eyes too. Todd is a freak, and Shera’s 18 hour playtex bra was in its 19 hour. I sure hope she wins clothes as an award.
Orlanne says
Very interesting idea, see you then. Can’t wait to see what you write about. Go for it!

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

I believe everything posted was very reasonable. However, what about this? suppose you added a little information? I am not suggesting your content isn’t good, however suppose you added a headline that makes people want more? I mean Bye Bye Chicken | ohamanda.com is a little plain. You should look at Yahoo’s home page and note how they write article titles to grab viewers to click. You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab people excited about what you’ve got to say. In my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.
