Jeff welcomes us from the steps of a 16th century Buddhist monastary. 16 strangers boarding a train and "being transported back in time" ... will experience a culture that dates back nearly 5000 years. Former Miss Montana. Middle school lunch lady. Christian radio talk show host... he goes on and I got distracted so I have lost track. Basically summing up everyone in the crowd this year. Youngest survivor ever. Adventure will play out in remote section of China. Live in shadow of temple on the lake of a thousand shadows. In the end, only one will remain. 39 days, 16 people, 1 survivor. And credits...

Jeff is standing in what looks like Buddhist temple. Survivors all walking in with their luggage. Chicken says it was an adventure for him. He loved walking in. Chinese survivor is emotional and says her grandfather died a few weeks ago and he would have gotten such a kick out of seeing her here. Before they begin, they will take place in ceremony in the temple. Not religious, just to welcome them. When they are done, they will walk back out to Jeff. All walking in now and bowing their heads. Denise says it was a great experience that almost made her cry. Spiritual and very emotional for her. Courtney, meanwhile, is annoyed at how often she's having to bow. She says she swears they were there forever. Leslie says she is a believer in Jesus and the bible says she shall not bow down to any other God. She is upset and says it felt like worship to her. She walks out and says it was hard and emotional to her but felt like she did the right thing. THey come outside and Jeff asks Leslie about not making it through the ceremony. Jeff asks if she's worried it might impact the next 39 days and she says no she's not. She's just here to play the game and be herself and people will either accept that or not. JEFF: Big thing in Buddhism is leaving behind your worldly possessions. They will only take the clothes on their back. Courtney has boots on and she says they weigh like 20 lbs each. He says it will either be a liability or advantage. They are grabbing bluffs with their names and that's how they are being split. One side: FIGHT TIGERS. Sorry I'm missing all the people on that tribe. Frosti is on this one, says he is glad he was on a fairly strong team. Other side: FLYING DRAGON. Amanda happy to be FLYING DRAGON member because two of the guys she thinks are the strongest people are there. Things they are going to be a powerhouse in this game. ART OF WAR. They will have one copy of it and a map to their new home. People in boat on the lake. Aaron says he doesn't think his tribe, for the most part, knows what's going on. He says he sees himself as the leader but he's going to try and do it as subtely as possible because he doesn't want a target on his back. They arrive and they have rice. Someone says to keep that dry and someone else asks if they have flint. Nope. It starts to rain. Courtney says she seems to be marooned in a land of flight attendants and school teachers. She says that she lives in a city and people in a city doesn't act like this... lots of compliments happening and introductions being made. She's rolling her eyes as others high five. Some walk off and find something... their "tree mail" It looks like statue with a chest under it. They are talking in the forest and Jean-Robert is telling Todd that he doesn't believe that he's a flight attendant. Todd wants to know why and Jean-Robert says he just has a feeling about him. Jean-Robert says he is a professional poker player and one of his strengths is to read people. Jean-Robert says his convo with Todd was deliberate, he wanted him to know that he's on to him and stay away from him. Todd says Jean-Robert was right, he'll do whatever he needs to do to win that million dollars. Todd telling Jean-Robert that he just wants to be here. Todd doesn't want Jean-Robert walking around saying "Watch out for, Todd." Says that he'll now be saying, "Watch out for, Jean-Robert." Repeats that he's here to win a million dollars, "That's a lotttt of money."

Other group is arriving at their camp now. Sherea says that when she first walked up, she was in a dress and heels. She says she is a southern girl but she's not an outdoorsy girl. Says this situation is so disgusting. They are looking at what they have and thinking about building a shelter. Chicken says he's from Virginia and the woods and he has a lot more experience over these people. Chicken is doubting that they can build something the way they are doing it and they aren't listening. He says he is just giving his opinion but they aren't listening so he won't offer opinions anymore. Ashley thinks being a professional wrestler has prepared her for this game a little more. She says she doesn't want to go home a loser because she knows her family will want her to win. Peih-gee says that she thinks she is on the lazy tribe. People just want to stand around and talk about stupid stuff. Says she can't connect to the wackiness here, she could probably do it at home but not here. They are talking about the shelter again and the girls ask Chicken what he thinks of building it in one place vs the other. He says he is just there for the ride. (I think he may have started to offer an opinion and they weren't listening so he stopped.) It's raining now and Sherea shouts something about, "God please help us." FEI LONG They are cutting down trees and working on a shelter. Leslie says she is worried about James because he's very quiet. She asks what he does and he tells her that he's a gravedigger. He says that he likes his work and being by himself. That will be the hardest part for him, the social aspect. Leslie is giving him some hints now on how to talk to people. ZHAN HU All huddled up together as there is a thunderstorm taking place. There is some talking here but I can't hear it over the thunder and lightening. The next day, there's lots of standing water on the ground. They say what they set up last night was a temporary thing. Chicken asking what they want to do. He says last night was very wet and it was a reality check for these guys up here. He says maybe they'll come together now. Chicken is now chopping at some bamboo. Someone says she is going to go find something. One of the girls is not feeling good... she's off to the side throwing up. She admits that she was soaking wet all night. Ashley says she doesn't feel good at all. Says she keeps trying to throw up but there's nothing in there. She says she has to stay in the game. Says she is not going home. One of the guys tells her not to worry about being sick and being eliminated. Then he tells the camera that he thought she'd be stronger but, if her health stays the same, she's going first.

Why would it take that long for one post to load when no one else was trying to post? Again, it's smooth sailing at the other board, so it aint my server. ???

Thanks for saying that GAL! Why did Jeff say Courtney has a sense of dry humour? She has a sense that she is above every one else just because she's a waitress in NYC? How many of us been there, done that? Maybe I will give her a chance, but ugh! FL!

Have these people never watched Survivor before? Don't they know they should be prepared to go into the game at any point with the clothes on their back, and wearing tight dresses, no bras, and heavy boots might not be wise? And fishnet stocking. Let's not forget the fishnet stocking.

FEI LONG - DAY 1 Tree mail. It's a cool looking flying dragon with the paper under it. They decide to take a look at Art of War before their challenge. First thing they read says they need a commander. Todd points out that Aaron has kind of taken that role. He admits that he was trying to push that role on him because he doesn't want it but it's also to keep Aaron close to him. Aaron says he is ready but nervious. ZHAN HU, they have yellow dragon and reading mail now. Ashley says she's hanging in there and pushing through. Frosti says he's small and quick so he can crawl or do whatever they need to win. They head off to challenge. Jeff calling them in. Jeff wants to know how life has been... he asks Chicken. He says as well as can be expected, they're doing ok. Jean-Robert says the worst part is being fully drenched. Says he hasn't gotten fully dry yet. Have to carry ceremonial mascot through obstacle course. One member is going to go ahead and open gate for the tribe. Each tribe member has to place pole in correct spot and first tribe to do so wins immunity. Jeff reveals immunity idol. Winning tribe gets immunity and fire in form of flint. They were giving running shoes and can take them back to camp with them after. James getting key for FEI LONG. Frosti doing it for KHAN HU. Denise falls for FEI LONG. Overhead view of this challenge looks awesome. They are dead even at this point. FEI LONG now in lead. Oh red dragon and yellow tiger. ZHAN HU has yellow tiger. FEI LONG has red dragon. Frosti is ahead of James now. Frosti has to go back to lower drawbridge and loses some time. James has a bit of a lead. Unlocking gate now and then must clip back in now. Neck and neck again. All hurrying here. They are going into swamp now and Jeff says they have to stick together. ZHAN HU struggling a bit here. FEI LONG now in lead. FEI LONG at finish platform right now. James has his pole in... all working on their poles. ZHAN HU now working on their poles. ZHAN HU is getting nowhere with the puzzle. FEI LONG wins immunity. They jump up and down and hug each other. ZHAN HU disappointed here. Jeff brings FEI LONG immunity. James takes immunity idol and Jeff hands over flint. ZHAN HU will join Jeff tonight at TC.
