If P.G. continues to be as bossy as she showed in episode 1, she's as good as gone within a few episodes.

I'm sort of glad she went home. I like big boobs, but hers were so cartoonishly bloated, they were more of a distraction than being an attractive asset for her. I'm liking Jamie more and more.
The roller ball challenge was down and dirty, lots of fuzzing out of body parts in that challenge.

Didn't/don't watch this show. But, i'm glad Ashley was voted off so she can bring her highly impressive wrestling skills back to the ring where they belong..

Is Ashley really a good wrestler?! She sure didn't look like it tonight. Although I wish she would have thrown another 'shout out' to all her 'fans' out there like in episode 1. Yes, I'm kidding.
I'm either going to hate that poker player or fall in love with his genius tactics real soon.

I've never found it matters if the tribes are stacked. If the tribes get unbalanced, the Survivor producers just re-shuffle them. That's what happened in practically all the seasons except the earliest ones. Some of the players in the "weak" tribe usually make it to the final four.

Nobody's gonna beat that black guy in any of the physical competitons. He's huge and strong as a bull
PS Love the scenery of China so far lots of monkeys running around and beautiful insects

That challenge with rolling the huge balls through the mud was genius, and I loved how the strategy quickly turned to pulling off the opponent's clothing.

And John-Robert actually did a pretty good job in the challenge, loved him shoving Ashley's (thank God she's gone...agree with above, the rack is just too cartoonish) head into the mud.

I know Jeff Probst isn’t that popular around these here parts, but I hope he stays. I think overall, Phil keoghan (Amazing Race host) is a better ‘reality show’ host but Jeff is pretty good as well, in my opinion.
Anyways, Pretty ‘Ho-Umm’ episode & I wanted to see more of the “I Bury People” guy. I’m glad that Ashley got the boot, she’s not entertaining as a wrestler & she wasn’t that entertaining on Survivor: China.
I wish they didn’t blur out the parts were some of the ladies clothing came off. Damn CBS!

Well, it's not like the other people on the sidelines aren't screaming the same things Jeff was pointing out to the combatants. I think Jeff and the producers just want to prolong the face-offs to get enough interesting footage for the show.

I think early on, too many people have a team tribe mentality (with Todd being the exception so far). Unfortunately, we don't get to see enough of the James the grave digger to know what he's thinking. Too much was cast on the drama of Aaron & Jean-Robert and Ashley & Dave.
As long as his tribe keeps winning, Jean-Robert's tactics can work. He's proved himself in the challenges. But if they happen to lose.. well, all bet's are off (pun intended).
At this point, I thought it was rather stupid for Bible Woman to squawk about the idol clue to Todd. And I want to know if Jaime shared that secret with anyone on her tribe. They're going to lose physical challenges and if they keep getting kidnapped, I'd start thinking about making alliances with people in Fei Long stressing numbers and being a swing vote.

Unless I know something crazy is about to go down, I can't even watch tribal councils anymore because of Jeff's shit-stirring and Burnett's stupid rituals.
I think Jeff is otherwise great when he isn't reciting the Survivor script or being antagonistic.
