It's 8 p.m. on Thursday and you know what that means...Survivor: China!

So, put your feet up, grap an ice cold Dr. Pepper and get ready to watch this week's scheming, plotting and wierd challenges. 

Will Bundy's favorite, the Undertaker, make it through another week? Is it (finally) Jean Robert's turn, or pays the sick chick will get sent home? 

 Let's chat!

Hi and Bye. I'm on my way to go watch it now :)
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 7:58pm UTC
Hi, Amanda!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:01pm UTC
Thanks for stopping by Marianne!

Hi Bundy! How are you doing?
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:02pm UTC
I'm hanging in there - how are you?
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:03pm UTC
It's been a good week...better than most. And one more day until the weekend!

You know, you can tell already that some of the girls are losing weight even after just a few weeks.
Sue * Oct 18, 2007, 8:05pm UTC
I'm here...I was trying to get an article up, dinner (such as it is) is almost ready...we have major storm warnings and my husband hasn't even been able to come home yet...I'm a mess!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:06pm UTC
Hi Sue! Is it storming now?
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:07pm UTC
Taylor/Vicky - if you all would show up in my living room, it would be one of the greatest pleasures of my life to pass out the cold DPs. And I'm sure Sue could whip us up some rice krispy treats, right?
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:07pm UTC
Hi Sue and Taylor! It's been storming all day here.
Sue * Oct 18, 2007, 8:07pm UTC
So far it has missed us, but has been hitting all around us. They are interrupting the tv every 5 minutes. We have a tornado watch, and one was spotted about 20 miles from here, but missed us.
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:08pm UTC
I'll supply the chips, beer, and chocolate - comfort foods!

Those skinny minnies could use some too!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:09pm UTC
I think it's cool that this guy is waiting on the right person. Do we believe him?
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:09pm UTC
Hey...I'll ask my brother over, but keep your hands off my husband!
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:10pm UTC
Sorry I'm late! Had to kick my husband off the computer.
donna h. Oct 18, 2007, 8:10pm UTC
Hi
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:10pm UTC
Hey Jen...welcome to the chat!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:11pm UTC
Hi Donna!
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:11pm UTC
Hi Amanda!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:12pm UTC
This two-person swap is a new twist. I wonder if it will replace or delay a merge.
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:12pm UTC
The challenges should be interesting tonigh with the double kidnap & all.
Sue * Oct 18, 2007, 8:12pm UTC
I wouldn't be a very good cook tonight. I just burned frozen french fries and set off 2 smoke alarms. They keep interrupting my show!
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:12pm UTC
Hi Jennifer and Donna! Good group tonight!

By th way, Gather has asked me to interview a former Biggest Loser contestant next week. I'd love for ya'll to join in the chat.
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:13pm UTC
Poor Sue! Sounds like you are having a rough night?
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:13pm UTC
Just a heads up....Jen has agree to host next week's chat. It will be her first time as hostess.
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:13pm UTC
Hang in there, Sue
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:13pm UTC
Looking forward to it, Jen!
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:13pm UTC
Hi Bundy! Let us know when, I will try to make it even though I don't watch the show :)
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:13pm UTC
Thanks guys!

..
U
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:13pm UTC
Oh, Bundy, that's so exciting. And you thought your Biggest Loser chat was for naught but look what has become of it. What time is your chat?
Sue * Oct 18, 2007, 8:14pm UTC
Bundy...that will be fun!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:14pm UTC
Sue, I find my kitchen works best when I remove the batteries from the smoke detector.
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:14pm UTC
LOL Amanda!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:15pm UTC
I think the first team has made the right choices in choosing Sheree ( I think that's her name).
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:16pm UTC
And the other team is really getting a good deal with James and Eric. Those two are workhorses.
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:17pm UTC
I got cha Taylor!
Sue * Oct 18, 2007, 8:17pm UTC
Amanda...too funny. Whenever something has a lot of steam it sets off 2 of our alarms. This was a bit of steam, and a bit of "little too done." I had planned on going to the store around 4, when the weather got bad I stayed home. Thus, hot dogs and frozen fries. No rice krispy treats tonight:(
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:17pm UTC
Sounds like the other tribe did good in picking Aaron & James too.

Is this a permanent switch or just for these 2 challenges?
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:17pm UTC
Marty Wolff, next Wed night at 7 pm Central, I think.
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:17pm UTC
I hope it's not permanent!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:17pm UTC
I sort of feel sorry for Denise now that James is gone. The two of them seemed like they were becoming good friends. Now, she'll be lonesome. I see Jean Robert is already trying to stretch his stay out another week.
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:19pm UTC
I hope they get rid of Jean Robert this week.
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:19pm UTC
I got the impression that the switch was permanent.

I'll make a note on my calendar for your chat, Bundy!
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:19pm UTC
I want Jean Robert to go home. He's kind of annoying. But me wanting him gone will probably guarantee he is final 2. :) Look what happened in BB8. . . . I wanted Dick & Danielle both gone after awhile and they were final 2.
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:20pm UTC
LOL, Jennifer!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:21pm UTC
If it's any comfort, I wanted Dick and Danielle gone, too!
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:21pm UTC
Happens to me all the time Bundy :)
Sue * Oct 18, 2007, 8:22pm UTC
I vote for Jean Robert too...unless he really steps it up this week.
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:22pm UTC
We love having you here, Taylor!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:22pm UTC
Taylor, he's the lazy one whose shorts are always drooping, so he has a blurry behind usually.
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:22pm UTC
Well, I guess my description doesn't help you much. But you can trust us, Taylor. He needs to go.
Sue * Oct 18, 2007, 8:23pm UTC
Amanda...we really need to find you an icon. That orange hairdo is getting old:)
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:24pm UTC
I agree Sue.
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:24pm UTC
Taylor, Marty Wolff was that cute teacher from last year and got engaged to another contestant, Amy...
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:25pm UTC
We need to find a representation of "Mandy"
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:25pm UTC
I've never had an icon, Sue.

I think the food coming with the two tribe members is further evidence that it's a permanent switch. Anyone agree?
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:26pm UTC
Boy, do I feel stupid. I thought Taylor was asking which one was Jean Robert. Marty will be a great interview!
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:26pm UTC
Could be Amanda. Wonder why they don't try in the challenges though? (saw it in the previews)
Sue * Oct 18, 2007, 8:27pm UTC
We could just make it a bottle of Dr. Pepper...or a plate of cookies. It doesn't have to be a picture...obviously!!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:27pm UTC
Great....Jean Robert has started off on a bad note today! Being bossy and waking everyone else up early.
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:28pm UTC
Or a picture of some rice krispy treats! LOL!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:28pm UTC
Maybe I'll make a bottle of Dr. Pepper.
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:29pm UTC
The rice krispy treats would be too much...I'd gain weight just looking at my in-box!
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:29pm UTC
I dislike Sheare though...and Courtney....
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:30pm UTC
Sherea is not too bad. Courtney could get a little annoying.
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:31pm UTC
Hi Taylor and Amanda....

My daughter and I are watching and yelling at the TV....poor James and Aaron.
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:31pm UTC
I would've had Courtney gone long ago...she'd drive me nuts!
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:32pm UTC
Hi, Jax

Does anyone understand the strategy the two girls were just talking about?
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:33pm UTC
Hi Janet....would you prefer one of the girls go instead of Jean Robert? I think he's lazy and bossy.
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:33pm UTC
I'm envisioning a tall shapely blonde with hair blowing back in the wind as a version of Mandy
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:34pm UTC
Sorry Bundy, I missed most of it. My daughter was talking and I couldn't pay attention to 3 things at once, something had to go :)
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:34pm UTC
I missed the strategy....I guess I was too involved with the chat. LOL!
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:35pm UTC
Yup, they are going to purposely lose to vote off the Aaron and James....then at 10 with the merge, they go in 5/5 of the original tribes.
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:35pm UTC
Here comes the challenge. . . . . should be interesting.
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:35pm UTC
Bundy, I wish that were a version of Amanda! Try short pair-shaped brunette with too much static in her hair for the wind thing to ever work...
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:35pm UTC
Thanks, Jax
Sue * Oct 18, 2007, 8:35pm UTC
Maybe, it should be a pic of Barry Manilow?

Hi Jax!
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:36pm UTC
Jean-Robert is an idiot, but he's at least stronger than Courtney...she singlehandly lost that one challenge.
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:36pm UTC
Voting off Aaron and James is a mistake.
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:36pm UTC
Thanks Jax! I am glad someone was paying attention :) Wonder how that will work out for them?
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:36pm UTC
LOL, Amanda - we could be twins!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:36pm UTC
Maybe that's what I'll put up, Sue.

BTW, thanks to all of you for voting for my fanilow entry!
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:36pm UTC
Hi Sue.

I was hoping to see James win it all...he doesn't annoy me at all, and he seems to be a decent guy.
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:37pm UTC
This challenge reminds me of Tiddlewinks.
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:38pm UTC
I agree. James is one of the better choices there, so far anyway :)
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:38pm UTC
Did they fall in like that on purpose???
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:38pm UTC
Erik is okay too....most of the girls really bug me this season.
Sue * Oct 18, 2007, 8:39pm UTC
I really have trouble multi-tasking here. I get so caught up in the chat I forget to watch the show.
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:39pm UTC
That happens to me all the time Sue :)
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:40pm UTC
James is getting mad at Peih-Gee. Guess her strategy is starting to work. . . .
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:40pm UTC
Yup, I'd get rid of P G.
Sue * Oct 18, 2007, 8:41pm UTC
I really think that little blond girl looks like she is sick. She is so thin, this can't be a good thing for her.
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:41pm UTC
courtney is downright emaciated
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:41pm UTC
I think losing on purpose is never a good stradegy....it'll bit them in the butt later...or hopefully Erik will see what happened after all the work he did.
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:42pm UTC
Courtney was too skinny to start with. I have to question the people in charge for letting her be on the show to begin with knowing that most people lose quite a bit of weight during this show.
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:42pm UTC
Maybe they will let Erik in on their plan before tribal.
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:42pm UTC
So, any guesses as to who's going home? I was surprised how the challenge ended.
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:43pm UTC
Courtney is a liability.
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:43pm UTC
She just might at that Sheila :)
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:43pm UTC
I hear you Sheila. I hope she wins, too. She works hard.

Thanks for joining in tonight!
Sue * Oct 18, 2007, 8:43pm UTC
sheila...you may change your mind when you hear her talk:)
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:43pm UTC
Shelia, you must be talking about Denise....
Sue * Oct 18, 2007, 8:44pm UTC
Jake is good, very good choice Taylor..........
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:44pm UTC
LOL, Sheila!

I hope one of the girls that threw the challenge goes home, now, but I bet they'll blame James.
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:45pm UTC
Sheila, you've got quite the handsome dog!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:45pm UTC
I hope one of the girls go home. I don't know if James' tirade will help or hurt.
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:45pm UTC
James is very angry. Doesn't he realize that he shouldn't be yelling like that on eviction night?
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:46pm UTC
Those girls just tick me off....
Sue * Oct 18, 2007, 8:46pm UTC
I'm not liking those girls...I really like James.
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:46pm UTC
LOL Sheila

I've always thought I would do poorly on Survivor because I'm get so hungry. I'm a good-sized woman, so maybe these big thighs could finally come in handy.
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:46pm UTC
I'd be a good survivor too....got the extra to lose...lol
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:47pm UTC
Looks like Erik is sticking with the girls. Should be interesting. . . .
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:47pm UTC
I don't know if there's anyway one of the girls can go or do they have all the votes behind them?
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:48pm UTC
On the other hand, I'd make a terrible survivor...I hate stupid people.
Sue * Oct 18, 2007, 8:48pm UTC
I wouldn't last 5 minutes...but, I've never been a size 3!
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:48pm UTC
I would be an awful survivor. Got the weight to sustain me, just can't stand the bugs! LOL!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:48pm UTC
I don't understand why Erik feels like he has to be loyal to the girls after they threw the challenge.
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:48pm UTC
Because he has a crush on Jamie.
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:48pm UTC
I don't blame James...I wouldn't want to be with those girls either.
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:49pm UTC
Another problem for me in Survivor is, even at 43, I would get very homesick for my hubby, my moma and my fat cat!
Sue * Oct 18, 2007, 8:49pm UTC
Amanda...142 comments!! I really don't want James to leave, this just doesn't seem right.
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:49pm UTC
I really don't want to see James go. This will break Bundy's heart since he's a Louisiana boy.
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:50pm UTC
James is going home tonight because we like him! That's how it always works. Aaron will be not far behind.
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:50pm UTC
Sue, have you noticed they've changed the point system? You don't get that many points for comments. I think it's based on people...we've got a good group tonight.
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:51pm UTC
I'm impressed, Jeff called them out on it. Wonder if they will change the merge because of it?
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:51pm UTC
Where did Bundy go?

This is pretty big....admitting to throwing a challenge at tribal council.
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:52pm UTC
Nah, homesick wouldn't bother me...a vacation away from the kids and husband...a few insects and snakes wouldn't bother me.
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:53pm UTC
I don't know Amanda. I was wondering that myself.
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:53pm UTC
I really hope they don't merge them them 10
Sue * Oct 18, 2007, 8:53pm UTC
I have noticed a change...and with tonight's update, who knows what will happen. Don't forget-Gather is off the air for 3 hours tonight!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:53pm UTC
Jax, I think you should apply! (I bet the kids and husband would be homesick for you before you got on the airplane!)
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:54pm UTC
Let PG, Erik, and what's her name suffer...
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:54pm UTC
I'm curious to see how the votes play out. Is James going home?
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:54pm UTC
I'm hear crying over James...
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:54pm UTC
Uh oh! Aaron! they just want to drive James insane
Sue * Oct 18, 2007, 8:54pm UTC
Oh my...I didn't see that coming, and I bet he didn't either.
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:54pm UTC
They still voted Aaron out...poor guy. He didn't deserve that!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:54pm UTC
Aaron???? I thought it would be James.
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:55pm UTC
WOW! Aaron is gone? How did that happen? Thought for sure James was gone.
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:55pm UTC
By Sheila!
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:55pm UTC
You know what they say about assume!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:55pm UTC
I know they've thrown challenges in the past, but I don't know that they've ever been so blatant about it.
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:55pm UTC
Bye Sheila!
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:55pm UTC
Ya, but everytime a tribe has thrown a challenge, it has come back to bite them in the behind...maybe they will merge at 11...now wouldn't that be fun.
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:56pm UTC
That was arrogant!
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:56pm UTC
That surprised me too Amanda.
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:56pm UTC
I agree, Jax!
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:56pm UTC
I'd want to go home if my team was throwing challenges...
Jennifer G. Oct 18, 2007, 8:57pm UTC
I hate to end this early but my oldest hurt her mouth and it's bleeding so I have to go check on her. Thanks for the fun chat! See you next week!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 18, 2007, 8:57pm UTC
I hope everyone has a good night! Don't forget Bundy's chat at 7 p.m. on Wednesday with Marty from the Biggest Loser. Jennifer will be hosting the Survivor Chat next week.

Here's to a great weekend!
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:57pm UTC
See ya, Jennifer!

I have to respect James for his game play.
Janet "Jax" B. Oct 18, 2007, 8:58pm UTC
Oops, gotta go....
Bundy P Oct 18, 2007, 8:58pm UTC
Thanks, Amanda! Goodnight, ya'll!
Sue * Oct 18, 2007, 9:05pm UTC
Goodnight all!
Marilyn (PaintsOnSlate) S. Oct 18, 2007, 9:51pm UTC
I can't believe those girls did that. i hope they are the next two to go...
Robin"Buffy's Stunt Double" D. Oct 19, 2007, 9:39am UTC
I totally missed the chat but did watch the show last night. A few random thoughts...

1. Courtney needs food-her backbone was sticking out profoundly.
2. I thought for a split second that one of the quitters who threw the challenge might get their just desserts, but not the case.
3. Aaron chose James, but James chose PG to go so I'm glad James got to stay.
4. I'm glad there were less blocked shots during the challenges-I don't mind seeing the contestants wearing buffs, but the "in the buff" shots from a few weeks ago were annoying
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Oct 20, 2007, 7:37am UTC
Robin, I really agree about Courtney. When I see her, I feel compelled to write a check out to "Feed the Children."
Christine Zibas Oct 20, 2007, 4:32pm UTC
Hey, here I am on Saturday afternoon, no less. I slept through this Survivor. Hope to catch up next week. Sounds like this was a good show, too. Too bad for me, huh? Hope you are doing well Amanda. I see that they have another question up on the front page about the points. I think they are trickling in at this point...or is that just because I am close to getting a new gift card? Anyway, I think they are going to bite the dust...anyway that's how I read it between the lines. What do you think?
Angela W. Oct 22, 2007, 2:44pm UTC
I'm really not liking this season of Survivor
