Just watched this weeks episode.  I was so happy for James when Fei Long won the reward challenge, and they got to get him back in the tribe for a day.  That was such a great plan for him to throw the challenge causing Zhan Hu to lose so he could pull that immunity idol out and vote off one of them.  But come immunity challenge, the plan didn't work.  Denise (Lunch Lady) simply couldn't eat those baby birds.  Who can blame her.  James tried hard to go slow so she could beat him, but Denise just couldn't do it.  Fei Long won the challenge.  At tribal council it got stired up once again between Jean Robert, Shrea, and Courtney.  Courtney's plan was to get Jean Robert voted out, but the majority went with Shrea because she is from the original tribe Shan Hu.  Courtney made the HUGE mistake of speaking out against Jean Robert, and now that he's still there, life for her will be even harder I'm sure.  She went against the majority of the tribe by voting for Jean Robert.  Courtney is already having a tough time being so darn thin, and weak.  If Fei Long loses again, she's gone.  BUT...in the previews for the next episode it looks like there is a merge!!!  That's bad news for Zhan HU members for sure...and for Courtney.  She will on her own, and not have the tribe to get her through challenges.  I bet she goes quick.  James looks to be in a very good possition with the immunity idol.  He has the one back at Shan Hu, and if I'm not mistaken, he did leave the one he was given at Fei Long behind.  But I could be wrong about that.  I'm just glad to see James in such a great possition.  I am pulling for him to win it all.  James seems to be a genuinely honest guy.  By the way, was I the only one who was wishing that blurry spot to go away when he showered?  ;)  Anyway, that's my take on this weeks episode.  What's yours?

 

See ya next week!
