Survivor China

Thursday's episode of Survivor China started at tribal council as Jeff Probst told the castaways to they had more business to attend to at tribal council so they didn't go back to camp. At first, I thought they would be voting another person off (similar to Survivor Cook Islands where Rarotonga voted off Rebecca and then Jenny at the same tribal council due to a bottled message). It actually turned out to be a reward challenge which was a big relief because Peih - Gee still had immunity and I hate Peih - Gee because she's very annoying when it comes to basically everything. Additionally, she kept Jean - Robert in the game who was so lazy for a few extra weeks (he was finally voted off on the November 8, 2007 episode). The castaways then had to answer trivia questions about Chinese culture for a trip to the Shaolin Temple. I really liked the questions especially the last one about the red envelope. I would of thought it would be a death notice as for red reminds of blood, but it was shockingly a gift of cash. Honestly, when I associate the color red with a financial term its usually debt. Cash reminds of a different color, green. Though yet again, I have no idea what Chinese money looks like and it very well may be red. Oh yeah, Peih - Gee won the reward and selected Erik and Denise to go to the Shaolin Temple with her. At the immunity challenge with involved throwing pointed stars at targets, Peih Gee got 0 points and to make things even sweeter Erik (the only other remaining Zhan Hu member) won immunity. At tribal council, James decided to not use one of his 2 immunity idols and he was voted off by a 5:1:1 vote. By the way if he did use an idol, it would of been a tie between Todd and Peih - Gee. Even though I hate Peih - Gee, I'm actually happy James was voted off as he could of easily detected Amanda's plan to blindsight him if he was more alert which is something you should always be when playing Survivor.
