I like his answers- lots of variety- well rounded. Sounds like he eats pretty healthy.

What a wonderful "oddball"! He can put a mark on my forehead any time. Much healthier than chemical meds and obviously much faster acting, too. Hoping he'll be able to give the "kids" of his tribe lots of time to appreciate him before they have to go to tribal council.

I don't know from schtick...

...but I find him interesting. He is someone I think I would be friends with if I knew him.

I like outgoing different people...and he certainly is different...in a pleasant way.

I love his smile....its one of those smiles that makes me smile when I see it.

I like him, I would get a long with him, and he can remove bad wind from my head any day. The mark is small price to pay to get rid of the headaches I get. Out of everyone there, he is the one I would understand the most.

First impression: Nutbar. But I'm open to see what develops.

I really like Cao Boi!
Since I wasn't spoiled before the show, I was so worried for his fate through out the show. Those Northern Asians are nice young blood, but I can't help wondering about their build-in prejudice against a South-Eastern Asian. He makes it so easy for them to put him in a separate category, too.

Hope he can make it to the merge, even though I doubt he'd have enough social skills for the whole bunch of outcast!

P.S. I've seen that technique through my childhood. It's part of the acuponcture thing. My elders used to use coins, shut glasses and sometimes just fingers to "heal" many discomforts. My sibs and I used to think that, it's a trick of distractions only... you know, give you something new to worry about so that your original trouble "disappears". We know better now of course. One of my brother gave testimony about numerous occasions when he served in the Army(back home). The other sister who teaches Nursing actually has eared herself a degree in Acupuncture.

I like Cao Boi to. He wasn't afraid to risk ridicule and help the guy with the headache. The acupressure and hand movements he was using were effective. Hey, the headache went away. I cannot begin to understand Chinese medicine although I have books on its use in animals. "Four Paws, Five Directions" is an excellent one. It helps to think of "wind" and "heat" as what we call "inflammation."

I like this guy too, but zebra have the right idea when it comes to being a survivor - blend in and live another day!

Dang.. I'm 5 years older than he is... and here I "thought" he was old... I'm never making an assumption like that again!

He adds alot to the flavor of the show...I hope he doesn't get voted out right away. I think he made a believer out of the kid whose migraine he cured.

It doesn't look good for him to stay long. JP talks about this curing ability in promo. The fact that it's in the first epi. may mean that he won't be long there.

In JFP's season, we didn't like him, but JP said he's going to be interesting... The "grandma's gone" lie did not come for a while...
I will be perfectly happy to be the wrong one. But that's a clue sticking out to me.

So far, he's the only one I do like. The rest are just boring. I would love it if he lived near me. He's someone I would love to get to know.

I like this guy, too. He's someone I'd hang out with. We have similar hairstyles...although he'd do most of the talking as I'm more of a listener.
