OK, now I want to go to China. I just won't lick any toys while I'm there.

FIE LONG (Notice that they actually perused The Art of War??? I have a feeling this wil come into play in the future, in their favor)

Aaron: MOR2. I loved how he got painted into a corner. "I see myself as a leader, but I want to do it as subtly as possible" and then basically gets forced to the limelight by Todd. He also said that he didn't think his tribe knew what it was doing, but then we see them totally out-playing the other tribe in every possible way. I think he's going to get the wool pulled over his eyes, and a lot.

Amanda: UTR1. Had a confessional about how Aaron and James were strong, and that's about it. Couldn't pick her out of a line-up at this point.

Courtney: MOR2N. I wrote a big "OBNOXIOUS" next to her name. Sorry, hon, but New York City is NOT the end-all-beat-all of the world. And heck, you're a waitress. Get off of your high horse, honey. At least she's interesting, though. I hope they eventually make her comlex, and not a one-note Flicka-type. Oh, and it's not your "own private hell" as we're all forced to view it, honey.

Denise: UTRP2. Very positive in her confessional, talking about how the ceremony was spiritual and emotional. She tripped in the RC and kept going, and JP gave her the flint, specifically, keeping her from being a 1.

James: UTR2. I don't see how a guy whose only confessional is about how he needs to work on his social game in addition to kicking butt in challenges can be anything but UTR. Heck, all of his sentences are about how he doesn't talk with a lot of people, and how he is used to being by himself. But in a side note, the flexing muscles, pushing down bamboo with his bare hands, and that waaaaaaay sexy voice? I could SO get used to that. Oh, and he was the only member of this tribe not to have a confessional before the first commercial.

Jean-Robert: MOR3. Would've been a two if not for his long conversation with Todd. Kept calling Todd out for being clever and devious. Interesting choice of words. There is definitely going to be a future between these two.

Leslie: MOR2M. She was negative in that she left the ceremony early, and JP emphasized it even more. It wasn't a worship service, but she was too closed minded to appreciate that. Not a harbinger of good social skills later. Then, she's seen trying to help James with his social game (irony much?) which was positive.

For Todd, see following WD report.

ZHAN HU: clueless, clueless, clueless.

Ashley: MOR3. Irony in that she was all about competition, then got sick and could barely hold up her tiger stick. But as someone who spent 9 months puking, I definitely feel for her. And I think she's even prettier without all of that make-up.

Chicken: OTT5N. If only he were more like Chicken George. At least he showed a little self awareness by acknowledging that he didn't fit in. But by focusing on his work ethic and not on the social aspects, he failed to realize what a social game this is. Oh, and if you're going to "straighten up the mess" then help formulate a plan, get in there, and get to it, don't whine about how no one else realizes what a gem you are. [/vent]

Dave: MOR3M. He was negative, because he flat-out told Ashley she would NOT get voted off just because she was sick, and then he wrote her name down for that reason. Jerk. But his wilingness to put his butt on the line as leader makes him positive. So mixed. I thought I was going to like the guy at first, but I have a feeling he's going to be a paternalistic jerk.

Erik: UTR2. One TCQ about work around camp, and how that factors into the vote. Would've been a 1 if Jamie wasn't so much less visible.

Frosti: MOR3. Realizes that he's at a disadvantage because of his age and size, but also realizes that his size and athleticism could help him, especially in challenges. Too bad he can't remember to unlock the stinking door.

Jamie: UTR1. "I don't have a bra!" Wet t-shirt contest, anyone?

Pei Gee: MOR4N. I don't think her crying about her grandfather is enough to move her to the mixed category. She's arrogant, bossy, and condescending. If you wanna be the leader, then be the leader. She was trying to lead, but then would step back and try to get others to take the heat. Not a very good social beginning. But if those were her own earring design, then she's a very nice designer.

Sherea: UTR2. SOOOOOOO not Cirie. She's a southern girl who isn't outdoorsy, and it's way harder than she expected. But she had plenty of time to dance around with the other girls. Gotta give a girl props for all that walking in those shoes. That's difficult even on hard ground.

Winner: TODD
Also looking good: James, Aaron
No way are they winning: Jamie, Erik
Too soon to say: everyone else

I totally agree with Leslie's decision not to go through with the ceremony. I mean, if it's not a religious ceremony, then what is all the bowing for?! Who/What am I bowing for or to?! I thought she did it respectfully and without making a big scene or deal out of it. I also thought her answer to JP's question was handled properly. And even if you disagree wtih her leaving, hey, at least she tried to go through with it in the first place! Of course, the public will see this as being close-minded because that's how America is evolving nowadays. Anti-Christianity is the only form of racism allowed as far as I'm concerned. : { And come on Nikki, There were idols ALL over the place. lol They were hanging from the walls!

I see where you're coming from. She did at least give it a try. At first, I thought that it was wrong to even go in, if she was that against it. But she didn't know what the ceremony was going to be, and couldn't really have predicted what the place was going to look like on the inside. I guess I just wonder if they would have let her watch, and just not participate. I think that would have been a little more respectful, is all. I just get angry when someone effectively calls my spirituality into question because of something I posted. I felt attacked, and attacked back.
