Amanda could well have learned a few pleasantries as part of her pageant work. (Oooh, kites! Did we forget the kites! When is the fighting kite challenge?) Peih-Gee's family is from Hong Kong, she probably spoke Chinese at home when she was little, but I think that would be the wrong dialect. Overall, the cast seems to have a little more cultural exposure than some we've seen in the past. I'm not really imagining any of them making a "no tickee no laundry" sort of "attempt".

(Both in the Fei-Long Day one and newly released Zhan-Hu Day one.) Does that count? Hey! I imaging every one of them would be clapping and sending "Gogogo! Fei-Long!" or "Gogogogogo! ZhanHU, you can do it" at some point in the first epi. ETA, in the temple when the Buddha pendants were presented or what not, didn't the head monk had some exchange with each of them? I bet everyone of them could attempt a "xìexie"(謝謝=Thank You!) right there and then??? Last Edited By: ChynS 09/18/07 11:26 AM. Edited 1 times.

They are sometimes shall we say ......arbitrary One other potential goldmine is stumbles, find a frequent faller and you've got a lot of points, 10 points every time they fall during the challenge. Thanks Chyn!

Posts: 9363 (09/19/07 6:29 AM) MESS Moderator Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	CB here's what they say: Select a tribe of four Survivors who will earn points for you during this episode. For each Survivor you must also select an event or action that you believe your Survivor will experience or perform at some point during the upcoming episode. Each action is assigned a point value and your team will earn points each time the action you select is performed/experienced. Therefore, for each Survivor, you must choose the actions you believe will accumulate the most points for your tribe. Each episode you are required to select four different Survivors, however, your Survivors may share the same action/event if you desire. Last Edited By: crocophile 09/19/07 7:19 AM. Edited 1 times.

(I guess it's possible a few folks have Buddhist experience in a non-Chinese-speaking context - would Frosti instinctively make some Japanese response, for example?)

Regarding FantasySurvivor, I've made a ton of points the last couple of weeks -- in the top three on our team -- by picking people for testimonials. You get 9 points per testimonial, so if someone has 5 you get 45 points! Pick the people who the riddles seem to indicate the drama centers around, and you get a ton of points. Just FYI.

Posts: 583 (10/23/07 2:06 PM) MESS member Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I just figured out that this thread has fantasy info. Duh. At least I figured out about the testimonials last week. I was in 4th place on our team the first place but my dismal performance the last few weeks dropped me into 11th. (And I notice we're now in 6th overall as a team). This information will help, especially when I don't have a clue what to say for some of the more "out there" fantasy questions. This season feels like much more of a crapshoot, or is it me? rats

Posts: 990 (10/23/07 4:04 PM) MESS member Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	No, they have really made an effort to drastically cut points for information that is spoiled. If you get big points, you are going to have to have guessed correctly. And on the Private Interviews, I had to go read their rules today. Erik had much more than 2 PI's in my estimation. He talked. New PI for Jaime. She talked. He talked again. This went back and forth. Fantasy Survivor is just counting that as 1 PI because the "topic of conversation" had not changed, even though in between his PI's there was a different point of view narrating the game. That is not the way I would score it (and I do score a game at another site) but it is plainly stated in their rules. But if you know somebody is going to get a lot of face time, it would still be a smarter move than say picking something that is only worth 12 points or so...
