Survivor Idol!!! Whos' ur favourite? Vote now!

   Survivor:Thailand kicked off last Thursday, September 19, 2002. The beginning of the show is very unique relative to the last 3 seasons. After season 1, we never saw the contestants walk through a local village before the game starts. Hmmm... things that makes one really think Mark Burnette is desperate to bring back the popularity the show once had. By the way, Survivor is currently doing good. Number 2 at the Neilsen rating this week, just behind the Emmy Awards. Phew! Let's see how Survivor does next week, when Friends opens up it's (???) final season.
    Anyway, Jeff Probst enters, does his usual stuffs (read: 16 people, 1 survivor!). Hmmm... I'm not sure if anyone even actually pays attention to what he says. He repeats the same things every time. The contestants go on a boat, on their way to the island. Once on the island, they were divided by gender. ("Women on the left, men on the right.")
   The contestants introduce themselves individually. Jeff now goes on to tell them that old people are given high respect in Thailand. Ok. So does that mean Americans don't give high respect for elders? I mean, why did he has to say that? Anyway, he calls on the 2 eldest people on the group, Jan and Jake (the old J's, I call them). Jan says in a confessional that she became afraid after she was called. She was never a leader. And I thought I was the only person in the word not to have the chance to lead. Jake says his strategy is to have athletically-capable people. The two elders chose their people and the tribes are now on their way to their respective islands.
    On their way to their camp, Tanya complains about John ticking her off. John, John, John. This pastor does not know how to waste time. He did not waste any time in annoying his tribemates. A foreshadowing? Who knows. Anyway, Jake's tribe quickly finds their camp, but Shii Ann complains that everyone goes wild. In a tribe with an average age of about 30, did she actually expect them to be organized? Come on. We see a shot of Erin teling Ken, "I can't believe you are climbing a mango tree" (or to that effect). So can't we. You guys dont even have any sort of shelter.
    Jan's tribe also find their camp, and Ghandia says she was like "Oh this is home." They quickly realize they don't need a shelter. Good for them. Back on Jake's tribe,the Sook Jai tribe, they all decided to go to the beach and take a swim. Stephanie pulls a Richard Hatch while there. Robb makes a point that she's an independent person. Hmm.. not sure of that one. Maybe she's just thinking that by removing her clothes, she'll win. I mean, it worked for Richard, right? Shii Ann says we'll never see her tata. I'm not sure if the people actually wants to see it, Shii Ann. So yeah, keep it for yourself.
    Day 2. Tanya is sick, so the Chuay Gahn tribe decided to find their water source. Ok, so if no one was sick, they actually won't try to find it? Anyway, John was trying to lead the tribe by doing things his way. It's probably tough for him not be in command. He separates from the tribe, while the rest goes the WRONG way. John says he thinks he know where is it, so Tanya, Helen and him use the boat to go there while the rest SWIMS. Of course, Tanya, John and Helen reaches the site first. They first see a yucky swap. They were wondering if that's their water source. Yucky! Probably worse than Africa's water source. They eventually figure out they're on water souce and finds the right one. John has an idea! He thinks it will be funny to tell the others that the yucky water souce is the only one there. He tells his idea to Helen, and Helen makes this face which says "Do that so you'll be a goner!" She says though, "I'm fine with that." The others arrive, John pulls his not-so-funny joke and everyone is like "oh." Ghandia was not at all amused. I am also not amused. On the other side of the beach, Robb complains about a lot of thigs. We find out that Jed is a loner who wants to do his own thing. Good thing he's a hottie. Robb also clashes with Shii Ann, and Shii says he's messing up with the wrong woman. We'll see.
    Let's go fast forward to the challenge. For the first time ever, the contestants need not to carry in this challenge. If u notice the first 4 seasons, the first challenge involves carrying something. Chuay Ghan keeps a good lead (by the way, that's a big surprie since they are the less athletic people), until Ghandia is on the third puzzle. She yells, "I'm stuck." Gee girl, you don't have to tell us the obvious. Jed makes it through the puzzle pretty quickly, and Sook Jai wins!
    They return to their camps, and Ghandia keeps on crying. She says she lessened their lead. Hmm... lessened? You just ddn't lessened your lead... you totally lost it! What are u talking about? At this point, it seems like the vote is going to be between Tanya, Ghandia and John.
    Tribal Council. Cool place! The area remind of China though, not Thailand. Brian, the soft porn star, was asked whether being a used car salesman helps him in this game. He says alot of things, I just did not understand a single word on it because I was like, what salesman? Clay was also asked a question. Voting. John is the first one eliminated. Good job, John. Why did he lost, u say? Why not Ghandia who lost the challenge for them, or Tanya who was sick, or Clay who was financially secured? The answer is simple. He hired the wrong comic writer, and he joked about the water.
