Survivor China - Episode 2 Discussion Thread - NO SPOILERS

Zhan Hu sucks. They are a broken tribe who I think got rid of the wrong jerk last night. I would have kept Ashley after her performance in the challenge and dropped Dave, who is the worst leader I have ever seen on the show. He will be joining her soon.

I am more impressed with Todd. He is a smart player. That radio host was a fool to trust him. Aaron is getting a littel annoying. Jean-Robert's plan is not gona work and he will be out soon after the radio host, who is the weakest link on that tribe.

James is an animal. He is going to carry that team in all physical challenges. I don;t see them losing soon. But that always seems to happen.

1. I was disappointed in the triabl council

I would also have kept Ashley. People may be freaked out by the piercings. I think she's a strong competitor (she did great in the challenges) and Dave is a jerk. They needed to eat! Ashley and the others saw that. I'm disappointed the others didn't vote the way they were thinking. For some reason, they were swayed to vote against Ashley.

Jean-Robert better step it up or his plan will absolutely backfire! What an insane plan. He's lucky they won immunity!

2. Also the black gal is going to be gone soon...she contributes zero to the tribe...

Eric and Frosti are going to be the leaders coming out of that tribe I think...

If Dave keeps on yapping he's toast...he needs to ratchet it down a notch to stand a chance at the next tribal...

I don't see that tribe winning ANYTHING in the near future..

3. I think you nailed it

I suspect Ashley is right, she will be seeing Dave REAL soon. He or Shereah (sp) is the next to go, followed by the other one. I think Eric, Frosti and Jamie will form a tight group, with the chinese woman on the outside (sorry, can't spell her name by sound). I stand by you in that last thought, this team is in trouble. They could lose the next two or three in a row.

4. I quite enjoyed all Dave's eye-rolling & other expressions at the Council. He is CLUELESS.

Horrendous as a leader. And that performance in the challenge!! I guess the tribe's thinking was he'll provide strength in future challenges. But what a buffoon, and he has absolutely no idea. I'll rather enjoy watching him dig himself in deeper, for whatever time he has left.

The problem with guys like that is, they raise hackles, but getting honestly pissed off at them makes you the one who looks bad. Ashley was right, he's incredibly patronizing, and should be taken down a peg or two, but she wasn't the one to be able to do it. I SO hope someone does. *rubbing hands in anticipation*

5. Boy, I sure know how to pick 'em, huh?

I had 4 people who helped me choose Dave! He's got to be one of the biggest knuckleheads EVER!!! Jean-Robert is pretty funny...every time the camera is on him, even if he just woke up from a nap, he always says it's part of his plan. James is definitely the strongest but I haven't figured out his quiet, almost shy, demeanor yet. I think it might be legit; I like him and he's pretty easy on the eyes.

It would be nice if Zhan Hu could win a challenge, but I have my doubts.

6. What was up with Dave and his "no eating until pit built" idea?

Doesn't he realize that letting the tribe starve will only bring their morale down and they will not have the energy to work or compete? Why not build a fire and eat and then build the stupid thing again when the pit is done? I read an article (can't remember where, if I find it again I'll post the link) where Ashley said Dave ruined most of the flint trying to start a fire. Maybe that is why but this no eating thing was ridiculous.

As usual, I can never keep people's names straight the first several weeks so I can't comment on much because I am too confused by all the people! :silly:

7. Dave is not going to last

It was a bad idea to out off eating. He looked so weak at the challenge. They needed to eat and rest up. I'm all fopr the work hard on day one, but rest up and eat to prep for the challange on day 2.
I get the names mixed up too.
