Will try to do a recap from memory. Fei Long’s winning streak came to an end last night with Zhan Hu tribe winning both the reward and then the immunity challenge.

The reward challenge was totally physical. The teams were out on a boat and with women opposing women and men opposing men, they had to get the opposing team’s players into the water and off the platform. The men on Fei Long proved unbeatable with James never being even close to getting knocked into the water. However, since the women played one time more than the men, and the Zhan Hu women being much stronger and more determined than those on the Fei Long tribe, Zhan Hu was victorious. (BTW Dave played naked)

They hauled in some great comfort items in the way of bedding, pillows and a tarp. They also were told to select one person from Fei Long to kidnap and they chose Leslie. She was given a sealed Tube just as Jamie had been given last week and told to read it in private. Of course we know what was in it, instructions to give the included sealed tube to a Zhan Hu members. Leslie chose to give it to Jamie, since Jamie had given it to her last week. So now Jamie has two clues to the immunity idol.

Leslie had a great time with the Zhan Hu tribe, discovering 3 of them are Christians. She divulged what life was like back at the Fei Long camp. Which people get a long, which people do the most work, who is the strongest and that Aaron is their leader. She tells them that they don’t understand her beliefs so she doesn’t try to share them much with anyone on Fei Long. Peih Gee was amazed at how much information Leslie was revealing without them even having to ask her anything.

At the immunity challenge Leslie must bid a sad farewell to her new friends. This challenge is a little tougher. Four people must cut through multiple ropes to drop a bundle of round puzzle pieces. Then two other people will assemble the puzzle. First up for Fei Long is Courtney. She is still trying to get through her first rope when Zhan Hu has all their pieces and begin assembling the puzzle. Finally Courtney get her task completed and the rest of the tribe make quick work of retrieving the rest of the puzzle pieces.

What looked like it was going to be a blow out actually became very close. Zhan Hu was having a lot of problems getting the puzzle together so Fei Long had plenty of opportunity to over take them. As luck would have it however, Zhan Hu won, by a very slight margin.

At Fei Long, James and Jean-Robert are talking about their tribe members. They think Courtney and Leslie are the least productive in camp and think they should be the first to go. (I may be wrong but I thought James had an ‘understanding’ with Leslie). James doesn’t seem to want to see Courtney go right now. This leads to Jean-Robert teasing him about wanting to have sex with Courtney. James never says this nor does he admit to it, but it turns out Courtney and Todd are less than a few yards away collecting firewood and hear the whole plan and conversation between James and Jean-Robert. Todd is totally upset and says they have to be taken out of the game. He refers to them as trash and says if you don’t empty the trash in a timely manner it begins to stink

After the challenge Courtney is in a lot of pain and has some major bruises on her hands and shoulders. It seems a foregone conclusion she will be voted out at the tribal council meeting. Todd can’t convince any of the others to vote out Jean-Robert. When talking to Aaron about voting out Jean Robert, Aaron says they need the strong players and it should be Courtney or Leslie. He says originally he was voting out Courtney but since returning to camp Leslie has been singing the praises of the Zhan Hu members and admitted to telling them Aaron is the leader of the Fei Long tribe.

Aaron was very upset about hearing all that Leslie revealed to Zhan Hu. This seals Leslie’s fate. At tribal council, though Jean-Robert receives two votes, the rest are all for Leslie.

Great mini-cap from memory Chairo. I know I said I would get the recaps for Survivor, but that was before things got ugly and busy around here. ;)

My thoughts on last night's show are this:

Leslie ("Sister Christian") pretty much begged to be kicked off the show by being a little too chatty with her tribe and the opposing tribe.

John Robert needs to back-off a bit and start showing his supposed strengths around camp or he's gone next regardless of how useless Courtney proves to be.

Courtney's whining about how "unfair" Survivor is was absolutely hysterical to me and my daughter. You're not so New York "bad" as you proclaim to be. :laugh

Aaron needs a clue, a big one. Self-appointed leaders don't bode well in this game. :no

James, my love for you grows with every muscle-flexing moment, but you need to be wiser in selecting your friends. Your mouth may not be as big as John Robert's but being around him makes your intentions crystal clear in the jungle.

Dave, Dave, Dave. We didn't want to see that junk from Hatch not just because he's Hatch, but because junk is meant to be hidden away...especially junk of the skeevy kind. I hope his rationale for making the poor sap filming that challenge go blind is because he was getting a rash from the wet fabric.

Sherea, you ROCK! You were bad-ass at the reward challenge. Your ability to keep your cool while Jeff screams at you that the other team is catching up has me pulling for you to win this season. Even over James. :O It also appears that next week you give Dave what-for.

Last night's epi was great in that the tribes really are equal. I'm glad it wasn't a one-sided affair this year and we get to see some really grueling competition in the weeks to come.

Oh yeah, chairo was the only one who lost serious points by hanging on to Sister Christian this week for our fantasy league. You need to do some damage control girl! ;)
Those who can't laugh at themselves, leave the job to others.

Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning,
Satan shudders & says... 'Oh, crap...she's awake!!’
