ARRIVED:  By train, truck.  Should had changed clothes & be ready for game on the last train.  Many were not prepared to play & had clothes not met to be played in.

TRIBES:  Yellow - ZHAN HU
                Red - FEI LONG
                Black - Merge - HAE DA FUNG
MEDICAL:  No one
NUDITY:  Dave
COUPLE:  Erik and Jaime (which lasted past the show)  &  Courtney and Frosti
PLAYER OF THE SEASON:  James
MOTHER NATURE:  Raining.

ELIMINATED:  Chicken,  Ashley, Leslie, Dave, Aaron, Sheree.
JURY:  Jamie, Jean Robert, James, Erik, PG., Denise, Frosti.

                                                       SUMMARY
1.  Leslie couldn't finish the welcome ceremony - she thought it was kind of worship.
2.  NEW TWIST:  kidnap one member of the other tribe when you win the challenge.
3.  Aaron is not smart leader.
4.  Zahn tribe thinking that switching of players involved only their tribes.  (stupid)
5.  James should have offer Todd one of his hidden idol.
6.  Denise should have join PG group & maybe  she would had been in the final 3, instead of 4th place  & on the jury.  She need to stop feeling sorry for her life.  Not everyone feels sorry for her & she must feel that she is important.
7.  Amanda still doesn't know how to win - no guts.  She picks on friendship instead of winning the game. In future season she still has the same theory.  She gets mad at her alliance when they point out in T.C.  what she did wrong.  She doesn't like that.
8.  James went home with 2 hidden idols.  He was blind-sided.
9.  What with Erik's question during final TC.  It seem he didn't understand the answer he got.
                                          UPDATED

10.  Todd was a good player.  While everyone was happy to be on the show - he never forgot his reason.
11.  What is wrong with trying to get Todd voted off - he nothing to be scare of .    People get scare of each of other & afraid of voting them off.  What can they do to you.
                                             8-2-2014 UPDATED SUMMARY
12.  I saw the player's PRE-INTERVIEW  and Dave stated that he wasn't going to be bossy.  We now know that is not true.  Also, he would LISTEN!
13.  Leslie started crying for her Bible & she can not talked to her God.  I was raised that God is everywhere & he can hear you.  If she is a true Christian she doesn't need her Bible.
14.  Leslie forgot when it comes to her tribe there ARE many faith & many Christians do not accept that & want to influence other instead of accepting other faith.
15.  Denise biggest mistake is not flipping when she had the chance.  She was scare of Todd.  Don't be scare of him.  Have some guts.
16.  Peigh Gee was right - her mouth got in trouble.
17.  This is season where Todd RULES & everyone had no guts or they talk about getting rid  of Tod  BUT never did.

                                              FINAL THREE
1ST PLACE:  Todd
2ND PLACE:  Amanda
3RD PLACE:  Courtney

LIKES:
James
Denise

DISLIKES:
Todd

Sheree
UPDATED:  (as of 11-13-13) :  Todd will be the Dr. Phil Show as drug addict.  I will updated this blog when the show aired.  11-17-2013  The show aired Todd looked terrible.  Guess he too young to handle fame & money.  All he wanted to do is be available for reunion show of the current season - WATER VS. BLOOD season which will air next month.  Dr. Phil revealed a little of Todd's history - that he wanted to be on the show a long time & that he would played many of challenges.  Since then I watched the Dr. Phil show & Todd looked awful.  He is a drug addict.  He went into drug rehab for couple of months & not able to appear on the latest reunion show.
4-10-2014  It was on Dr. Phil's 2000 episode show  that Todd was reveal.  He looked great.  He didn't even remember being on the show.  An update of Todd's condition will appear on an May 2014 show.
11-13-2014  Updated on Dr. Phil Show Todd is still  under  the influence again.
