Episode 1: A Chicken's A Little Bit Smarter

I can totally see where the title comes from. Chicken thought that his tribe didn't want to listen to his opinions so he flat out stopped giving them even when he was asked. The old man didn't fit in at all. At least the tribe gave Ashley a chance for that bout of illness she had. Maybe it will be good for the next episode, seeing that it involves wrestling to some extent.

Todd remains my favourite post-premiere as well. Dude, don't get too cocky though! That bit about making Aaron the leader, maybe its good. But don't let the game get to you that you have to be playing it full on all the time.

James is silent but likable. The dude is ripped too. Let's hope he goes far.

Leslie, Leslie. I take my hat off to her for sticking up for what she believes in and for having the guts to excuse herself from an uncomfortable situation that could make you stick out like a sore thumb. Lets see how far you get eh? Go Leslie.

And Denise! I dunno, I get a good vibe from her. I don't think she'll be one of those who will be making the moves but I don't see her in a Cassandra type of way either. Maybe she's like the white version of Cirie?

And I just realised that all my favourites are from Fei Long. The Zhan Hus don't really have it going and don't do much for me. Zhan Hu to me is like what Casaya was. The tribe is also younger than the Fei Long tribe in average age, maybe that's why its showing signs of cracking up at the fault lines already.

The tribal council exit was awesome for a premiere. The best TC exit for any premiere may I say. And I liked the way this episode went. I totally had no idea if it was gonna be Chicken, Ashley or Peih-Gee! And that's with the spoilers saying Chicken too. But this season will be boot spoiler free. Good start CHINA! Awesome theme, awesome intro, awesome location, awesome season. I look forward to Fridays for more reasons from now on.
