I like James, too. I also like Todd. I look forward to seeing him do some strategizing. I think he can outwit the others. Courtney seems like an airhead. The poker playing guy appears to be full of himself. We'll see. Chicken cut his own throat by not trying to fit in.

I was surprised that Frosti didn't do better leading his team in the challenge. After all, he is supposed to be an expert at "obstacle courses!"

I agree Chicken cut his own throat, he should have given his opinion at least when asked. Giving your opinion and taking charge can seem like you are trying to become the leader but when they were actually asking his opinion, he did himself in. I was yelling at the TV for him to stop and answer PG. However I must say after just one episode I am not a PG fan. As for the others I will wait and see. I kinda like Frosti.It is very obvious that one team has it together and the other NOT!!!. Oh well can't wait to see next week.

Cillywue, now I'm cracking up at the thought of Courtney and the Buddhist having a smack down. How would they have edited that??

I think Chicken was just trying to get people to DO something. When they wouldn't listen, he wasn't going to keep trying. But, when asked for his opinion, I wish he would have made clear that no one wanted his opinion 2 days ago. I was still surprised he was the one they booted.. I just hope that other guy gets people's arses moving. This could be another season where one team completely self-destructs. Didn't like that NY girl either. I thought, how can she be a waitress with that kind of attitude? Such a sour-puss! I love James too. I thought the conversation with the radio host was cute. When James said something about trying to get people to like him, I said, "I like him already. He can be my huckleberry anyday!" And to DH, "Imagine how much work would get done around here" And DH said, "Yeah, but imagine where you'd be sleeping!" Had to give him credit for the good comeback! LOL Didn't buy Ashley being sick. Suddenly at challenge time she's all better? Uh-uh. As for the leader thing. No one really wants to step up, because the leaders are always a target later in the game. PG didn't bug me too much with her bossiness, it was needed at that point. As for the opening scene: I realized that I've been taking for granted the fact that we have freedom of religion in this country. Thank God we do! I'm a Christian, but I couldn't imagine living in a place where worshiping God was something you had no choice in. Where's the authenticity of faith in that?

Ya know, I really wish they hadn't voted Chicken off first thing. One of the few real 'characters' on the show, I think he would have been great fun to watch. Guess I'll have to pick a new fav now.

I was disappointed too that Chicken was voted off first. He would have been a "colorful character" to watch this season. Wasn't BIG TOM the guy that danced around with a feather in his back end? He was fun to watch, too.

His accent would've driven me insane if he lasted longer than he did.

I agree Mocha, I couldn't understand a word he said. James is my favorite so far. I can't STAND Courtney!!!

I'm ok with Chicken gone. I think he thought he knew the game but to be such a Donato right from the start isn't cool and will get you booted. I think he did everything wrong. And like others I'm glad I won't have to listen to his voice. They had lots of rain right off the bat...I wonder if the rain will continue and if it's a rainy time of year for that part of the world. James is awesome on so many levels...that came shinning right through in such a short time. I'm afraid others will realize his awesomeness too and boot my sweet grave digger. Didn't care much for poker player guy or the gal from NY or the Christian radio host or the bossy darked haired person Peih. Kinda liked the flight attendant and Aaron and Dave no one else really stood out. I think the wrestler will give us lots of drama. Looking forward to next epi.

With regards to the opening scene I would've been very respectful of being in another country and their customs. That being said I wanted to smack that blond girl.

Okay, I realized that since I know too much about this season, I probably should be careful talking here in the Gen. Discussion area. But I thought I was only relating to the clips or articles either on CBS on TVGuide??? If any one thinks those(I won't talk about the "events" or "that part of the game" now, you may look in the box deemed spoiler.) are spoilers, it's only because they didn't pay attention to all the promotion effort CBS had put out! >>> I'm not even getting into how Jeff ended up being the best spoiler eveh! ) All I can say is, don't stare at the clips too long! Do something else at the same time while promo clips are playing, then maybe you will miss all the spoilers! :D BUT< here's something I can't hold my tongue to: Carrie said: As for the opening scene: I realized that I've been taking for granted the fact that we have freedom of religion in this country. Thank God we do! I'm a Christian, but I couldn't imagine living in a place where worshiping God was something you had no choice in. Where's the authenticity of faith in that? All Chinese do have choice of religion now. The last time Buddhism was decided to be the only religion was in TANG dynasty! That was 618-907A.D.!! When Communists took over China, they burned all the churches and temples, Buddhist Monks and Nuns were forced to merry each other; Catholic priests were jailed until they denounced the Pope or until some International rescue mission came about.....(I had the honor to know some of them personally!!) Many Chinese priests and sisters were possibly just slaughtered. But the bases was that, Mao did not want any other God worshiped but himself! I was born and raised in Taiwan though I'm one of those who considers myself Chinese still. My point is, I have nothing to gain defending the Reds, but the truth is that, they are very much relaxed today on religions. Temples and Churches all came back. You could worship any God you believe in. Christians are no longer accused as spies for Western Empires or American any more. Come Christmas, CNN might show some more of Catholics Services in BeiJing or ShangHai. Rome is trying to get back in China. It hurts me very much, but that's the reason why Pope never sets foot on Taiwan even on His way to the Philippines.... But that could be one of the facts that will please BJ enough to welcome them in again. Sorry to veer off again. But don't worry, I won't spoil any thing here and I'll be around every time a misconception is growing.

Mocha, I'm with you. They just needed to show respect for the other culture, not become a Buddhist! And Courtney, such a happy girl.

Chicken spoke way too slow for me to listen, lol. I also was hoping he would have stayed a bit longer. Right away, I didn't like the poker player guy, Jean Robert? Looked like he wasn't wearing any underwear and kept pulling on his jeans, but that isn't why I didn't like him. The NY girl was getting on my nerves at the Buddhist ceremony. The rolling the eyes was so disrespectful in my opinion. I liked the wrestler lady and thought she was really sick and saved any energy for the competition. She didn't help much as they lost. PG came across as bossy but dang, she don't want to die, lol! Overall, I was highly entertained.
