“Survivor: China” kicks off
It’s always fun to watch the first “Survivor” episode of the season. You get to see these awkward people dumped out in the wilderness and learn who the nutjobs are (for the most part), you get to hear Jeff do the same old spiel he does pretty much every season, and you get to enjoy some pretty fantastic scenery. And last night was no disappointment in that arena. First off, let me get you a list of recaps of the show and then I’ll give you some of my quick impressions.

Whew. Now that that’s out of the way… what did I think? I think the location is absolutely stunning. Beautiful landscape and the buildings (few though they are) are beautiful. Very nice! Leslie got on my nerves first thing because she couldn’t take part in the welcoming ceremony. Simply because she felt like they were worshiping Buddha and she’s all for Jesus, yo! Ugh. Way to make yourself stick out like a sore thumb first thing, lady. You better hope your tribe gets immunity. Then there’s the stuck up waitress from New York whose name escapes me at the moment. I don’t mind her near as much but she’s gonna have to get off her high horse. I know these people are a bunch of dorks, but you gotta adapt because otherwise they’ll vote your butt out.
Chicken annoys me from the get go because of his accent. Sounds awful, I know. I’m pretty ashamed of myself. But I can’t deny that watching him made my skin want to crawl off my body. I actually kind of liked Ashley, simply because I’m interested to see what she can do with herself once she gets over this little bug she has (and I’m sure she will, someone ALWAYS gets sick in the first couple days). I like the grave digger guy and Frosti too. Someday I’m going to be better with these names, I promise.
Anyhow, Chicken got the boot last night and I was a little relieved. I didn’t want it to be Ashley or Peih-Gee quite yet. It’s so nice when these reality shows do what I want them to do, you know?
