be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,

"Jeff talks about Survivor: China" |
LAST EDITED ON 09-13-07 AT 04:52 PM (EST)http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/jeff-probst-dishes-about-cbs-upcoming-survivor-china-season-5780.php My favorite part:  "Bellande didn't have a clue about Survivor but was so certain that the fact that he's a professional poker player would take care of itself," said Probst. "That dude had a quick learning curve... he started realizing, 'Okay, I don't know what the hell is going on out here because people are talking behind my back and I don't know what they're saying.' Hello Jean-Robert! You should have watched a couple of episodes, you numbskull."

1. "RE: Jeff talks about Survivor: China" |
Migawd, we just found the man Desmond could beat... at least early on.I like this quote: 'For several seasons in a row its visually looked somewhat the same: palm trees and coconuts. We have bamboo and temples this time. I think you'll feel the difference.'
Yeah, Jeff. The splinters are in a completely different place.  Notable: 1. The opening sequence sounds interesting -- but no idea how it'll actually play in editing. 2. Jeff was really desperate to get back to sixteen, wasn't he? Took the show long enough to catch on. 3. So Leslie had a religious problem early, and that was just from having to enter the temple... Was she reluctant to say someone else's prayers, does she think she's damned herself through structural contact, or is it a degree in between? 4. Sounds solidly like it's a no-luxury-items season -- again -- and we know it's minimal clothing. Hope no one got stuck in their swimsuits -- or worse, their jeans. 5. A flooded camp in the second episode? Watch the shelter configurations. 6. If fishing is so hard that they need to bring in native instructors, expect some serious weight loss and potential mercy votes. Food was definitely scant this season, and the Rewards may go heavy on it. 7. Todd could be fun, or Todd could be really, really annoying -- but it's good to have a show-watcher on either way. Just remember what's happened to pretty much all of them. 8. Anyone else get the distinct impression James is going to talk himself off the island? And Aaron might follow him if the later can't keep track of his own promises. 9. Jamie may be a swing vote in the making. Watch her tribe's alliances? 10. Peih-Gee and Shii Ann are sisters under the skin -- and may wind up sharing a fate. 11. Dave may trust too much, but Jeff seems to be hinting that he's got a chance at the learning curve too. 12. Courtney sounds like a blast. She also sounds like the F5 boot. 13. Ashley will whine, although it may not make the camera cut. 14. Steve is dead, dead, dead.

Have we had any "lack of food" issues since Survivor: The Amazon? I don't think so -- am I forgetting something?

Definitely not the Palau Hilton... but as the article said, it's the first setting in a while where food hasn't been fairly avaiable, at least to one side. You could argue for some Fiji starvation, but that was mostly Ravu's own fault. And Guatemala, but just because Stephenie ate everyone's share.

9. Jamie may be a swing vote in the making. Watch her tribe's alliances? I think you are correct on this call Estee (as usual) To take a look at Jeff's entire quote on Jaime I am led to believe she may go far... - Jaime Dugan (22-year-old student from Columbia, SC who is originally from Ft. Lauderdale, FL) "An interesting combination of sorority girl and honor student. She's very pretty and she's from South Carolina, and at first glance you kind of get this, 'Oh, I'm just a little sorority girl.' But she's got a pretty good head on her shoulders, especially when it comes to dealing with people and the strategy of dealing with people. Jaime factors into the strategy of her tribe quite a bit." So she may be around for a while, based on Jeff's comments...although I could be reading too much into it...

Interesting article. Looks like food will be a big issue. Tough fishing, no game animals, probably poor vegetation supply. MB shall provide. What's the pool on who goes first -- the ignorant of the game poker player or the Survivorholic fan? And when. Also a when: Ashley's first smackdown talk oration. The idea that Leslie would be troubled by visiting a Buddist temple is insane. You've got to be very weak in your faith to get so rattled. I've been to and enjoyed so many different services and religions' places of worship I can't count 'em. Was married by a Rabbi, for Christ's sake. I like the Sun Tzu Art of War involvement. Hope the serious players have also read Machievelli. I remember some book that was purportedly about Ghengis Kahn's ideas, or maybe that was Atilla the Hun. I'd also read up on George S. Patton and Mel Brooks. I'm looking forward to the new season. 
Working on ideas for Confuscious-like haikus, just to confuse the Oriental angle.

The two things that really stuck out when I was reading the article were...Zernov grew-up watching Survivor -- a fact that also applies to Todd Herzog, a 22-year-old flight attendant from Pleasant Grove, UT. "He's one of the biggest fans ever and the first day he said something like that to me, 'Jeff, I've been watching this show since I was 16 and I've been waiting until I can apply,'" said Probst of Herzog. "And I thought, 'My God! Hold old am I?'... He did know the game and it's because he's been watching since he was a kid. In his case, it pays off... He had a game plan of how an alliance best works and how to work people. Seems to me that Todd will go far (based on this comment) Also..... According to Probst some of the castaways even inadvertently used "The Art of War" in their game play, such as Jean-Robert Bellande, a 36-year-old professional poker player from Las Vegas, NV. "He actually came in with a pretty interesting strategy, which was, 'I'm going to come in and not be liked and I want people to not like me and then I'm going to become likable,'" explained Probst. "His reasoning was, psychologically, if you meet someone and the first time you meet them you don't like them -- but then as you get to know them, you do like them -- you end up liking them more than you would have if you liked them initially. That was his philosophy... That kind of strategy, while not exactly out of 'The Art of War,' it's part of it."
In order to try and put this strategy to use it would seem to me that he would have to be around at least for a good portion of the game.
It will be interesting for me to see if my deductions are correct and Todd and Jean-Robert do stick around for a while.
