Survivor: China Episode 5 Thoughts

It's a good thing that I did not live blog this episode. Otherwise, the report would have looked something like this:

8:24 pm - Peih-Gee suggests throwing the next two challenges. Jamie agrees?!?! Do these idiots know that throwing challenges just ends up in karmic retribution?
...
8:34 pm - You know, if I were to sink so low as to throw a challenge, I would make god damn sure that I wasn't fucking laughing while doing it.

8:35 pm - SHUT UP YOU FUCKHEADS! YOU'RE THROWING THE CHALLENGE AND ARE OBVIOUSLY SMARTER THAN THE REST OF YOUR TRIBE! WE GET IT!

...

8:42 pm - WHY THE FUCK CAN'T THESE TWO MENTAL MIDGETS SHUT UP? AND ARE THE GUYS SO STUPID THAT THEY CAN'T SEE THAT THE GIRLS TOTALLY THREW THE CHALLENGE?

...

8:52 pm - Did Peih-Gee just admit that she and Jamie just threw the challenge after Jeff mentioned it? HOW FUCKING ARROGANT AND STUPID!

...

8:55 pm - Well, at least James stayed. Maybe he can just will his tribe into winning

Now that I've calmed down a bit (but only a bit), let me just say: Peih-Gee, meet Shii Ann. Shii Ann arranged a loss for her tribe, and then assumed a merge was coming when in fact it was not. Of course, Peih-Gee hasn't completely screwed herself yet. But her assumptions that there is going to be a merge at 10, that her tribe is going to form a cohesive unit after being split for 9 days, and that nobody has formed a separate alliance that she doese not know about, are pretty strong, and golly gee I hope they stay true. Lord knows that Mark Burnett and Jeff Probst would hate for the fates to step in and bring a merge at, say, 9 people left.

In Flying Dragon news, Jean Robert continues to be misunderstood. He is told once again that he is bossing people around, and Sherea even suggested that he asked her to help with the cooking because she's a woman. The key to that accusation is that Sherea told her new tribe that she was good at cooking and could be considered the cook. Looks like it's time to officially change my winner's prediction to Todd.

That's about it for now, but if things continue as they seem, expect more swearing about throwing challenges.
