Preview Episode 2

My Mom Is Going To Kill Me

From the official Survivor China web site:
The castaways are thrown, choked, and wrestled as mud flies and tops are ripped off in one of the most physical and dirtiest challenges in Survivor history. When Leslie [the Christian radio host] feels weak and vulnerable, she receives what she thinks is a gift from God. Jean-Robert [the pro poker player] concocts a plan to purposely act lazy in order to get ahead in the game.

From TitanTV:
The castaways wrestle in mud as part of a challenge; Jean-Robert intentionally acts lazy as part of a risky strategy to get ahead in the game; Dave [former model] attempts to get the Zhan Hu tribe organized; and another castaway is voted out at tribal council.

Rumors & Spoilers

In the CBS preview Jean-Robert gets a lot of attention and is made out to be in danger of being voted off. The online rumors seem to indicate that Ashley (pro wrestler) will be the one voted off.

The Fei Long tribe reportedly will win both Reward and Immunity so here's a quick reminder of who is in that tribe: Aaron, Amanda, Courtney, Denise, James, Jean-Robert, Leslie and Todd.

The Zhan Hu tribe: Frosti, Erik, Sherea, Jaime, Peih-Gee, Dave, Ashley and Steve.

There will not be an Exile Island this season. A new twist this season will be that each week one player will be 'kidnapped' and spend time with the other tribe between the Reward Challenge and the Immunity Challenge. This week Jaime (blond student, pictured) is rumored to be kidnapped. I like this twist it will give people a chance to interact with the other tribe and while the kidnapped player is gone the others in his/her tribe can plot against him/her.

This looks to be a good episode, check back tomorrow for my thoughts.
