SURVIVOR

Sorry this is up late, The Packers played last night and in Wisconsin you're not allowed to do anything else during that time. It's not even a local law, it's a Federal law.

Last week we were surprised with... A CLIP SHOW!
So this week we finally got to come back to the cliff hanger ending of Tribal Council. It's-

REWARD CHALLENGE!
Everyone breathes a sigh of relief as they learn no one else is going home, but the winner of this challenge plus two other contestants get to go to a secluded Shaolin Temple and witness Kung Fu. I just hope Caine's white cop son doesn't show up and ruin all the fun.

It's another brain challenge and there's no knives or burgers this time so you know James is in trouble. Sure enough, Peih-gee wins her second challenge in a row. Which is a big surprise seeing as it was a quiz on Chinese culture and she IS Asian. I mean, that's like quizzing a white guy on the history of Canada, you know?

Peih-gee takes Erik and Denise with her on the trip. Denise is excited, but worried to be leaving the group, because she knows when you're not around that's when you get left out of the loop. And out of the loop is one step away from out of the game. While they're gone James, Amanda, Todd and Courtney all enjoy a preview of the Final Four. James once again makes the Adam and Eve metaphor about not biting the apple, but then Eve (in the form of Amanda) states that maybe it IS time to switch things up. Uh-oh.

The Trio arrive at the temple where- hold on, Peih-gee IS Chinese? That IS bullcrap then! Any way, they're at the temple where- Denise does karate? For eight years? Man, the reveals are coming fast and furi- ERIK ISN'T A VIRGIN??

What a Kung Fu demonstration though. There's kicks and punches, a guy does The Worm and another guy breaks a metal bar with his head. How would you like to be the guy that had to follow that up? "Dang it, I've got to go after Yau? That show-off's probably going to do the metal bar thing and I'm going to look like a jagbag swinging my little ropes around. Dang it!"

After the demonstration the Trio gets to do some karate with the kids of the village and then Denise gives them a demonstration of her skills. In what I'm sure is supposed to be a cute reaction shot, the cameras show the faces of the children. One of the girls has the most precious "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" look on her face.

While the trio is literally living it up in a temple, the Final Four are literally squatting in a hole while it downpours around them. Cue the Trio's return where Peih-gee talks about how much fun they had. Courtney is snarky about it, and I've got to admit, I don't LIKE Courtney, but since I realized she's a 15 year old old girl in a skeleton's body, she's become a lot more fun.

Erik and Peih-gee try to get in good with the other Survivors but James makes it clear that he only listens to the Powers That Be. I thought Angel killed all of them at the end of season 5? Anyway, Erik asks him who that would be, in an effort to get more information and James holds out his one hand and goes "The Powers that Be" and then two fingers "And the Two Outsiders". "And I'm not going to screw things up with the five, by going 'oh, I don't know, let me think about it.'" Good to hear they have a plan.

Amanda- I think we should get rid of James.

Wait, what?? Oh no, how will this play out at the-

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE!
Back to the combat circle and the poor man's Stargate. It's throwing star time. Top three advance to sudden death. Courtney surprises everyone scoring 6 points to tie for first place. Has Courtney been reading this book?

The final round comes down to a four way tie between The Littlest Ninja, Black Crocodile Dundee, The Pixelated Posterior and Erik the Non-Creative-Nickname-Haver. In the end Erik walks away with the immunity necklace and things are suddenly looking bad for James.

Back at camp Amanda shares her idea with Todd like it just came to her and he seems in agreement, as are Courtney and Denise. Todd then sums up the game perfectly.

"That means lying to his face. And I feel really bad about it, because I like the guy. ... But I like a million dollars too."

Peih-gee finds James' hidden immunity idol and tries to take that information to Amanda who tries not to roll her eyes too hard. Amanda then tries to spell out for Peih-Gee that she is safe, without having to spell it out. I mean, she even WINKS at Peih-gee and she still seemed clueless. None the less, it's still going to be lights out for James if he doesn't figure things out before-

TRIBAL COUNCIL!
Probst starts by bringing in the four members of the jury; Jamie, Jean-Robert, Frosti and Jamie's breasts.

Probst then asks the standard questions about trust and loyalty, James and Peih-gee snipe at each other (man, no one likes her) and everyone unconsciously warns James that they're going to screw him over tonight. None the less, James sits on the hidden immunity idols ("That I GAVE to him!") and in the end is told to head home. All of China weeps.


Even the babies.

All in all James takes it in stride, realizing he should have played an idol and that it's just a game. Good to see some people with perspective, unlike Rudy and his "I know people outside of this game you probably wouldn't want to meet" and Judd's "I hope you get bit by a crocodile."
