Wow, it finally happened. Someone actually played a fake Hidden Immunity Idol. We've been waiting for that moment since Austin toyed with the idea of creating a fake idol back in season 12, Survivor Exile Island. Do you think Courtney's really trying to win the $1M? What's the best way to handle someone who's still in the game, but doesn't really want to be there? Who knew James was such a comedian? Do you think Jamie was embarrased at tribal when her idol was revealed to be a fake? What was your favorite moment from episode 7? Here's the new merged tribe after episode 7. Hae Da Fung: Amanda, Courtney, Denise, Eric, Frosti, Jean-Robert, James, Peih-Gee, and Todd If they stick to the plan, we think PG will be next go. Who's your pick for the next one to get voted out?

Are you having a hard time guessing who will be voted out this week? The SFP listeners aren't. They've got it all figured out. The LF shows are where you get to co-host the show with us and share your views on the most recent episode. It looks like the heat's back on Jean Robert this week. Lot's of folks think he's back on the chopping block. Or, maybe it will be Jaime. She got a few votes in today's show. Then there's Eric. If he goes sneaking through James' bag and steals an HII, he might get voted out on principle. Let's not forget Courtney. She seems to go out of her way to alienate her alliance members. Anyone hungry? I think Jo Ann's cooking up another batch of those JSFL Voted Out waffles. :) This week we hear from: Kimberly, Amy, Doug, Mike, Kathy, John, Bob, Ron, Brad, Carol, Sandi, MikeK, and Brian We love hearing what you thought about each episode, and we've got several ways you can reach us.

This episode could just have easily been titled: When Good Plans Go Bad. Jaime and PG abandoned their plan to carve off Fei Long members when they discover that Sherea and Frosti may not be in their alliance after all. Todd's plan to discover the Hidden Immunity Idol and to control the outcome of the immunity challenge folded like a lawn chair. Todd seems to be sputtering out without Aaron there to guide the way. Why do you think Todd felt a burning need to share the HII with so many people? Did your opinion of Jean Robert change any after seeing Sherea and Courtney attack him at tribal council? What did you think when Jaime showed up at the reward challenge wearing Aaron's jacket like a trophy? Here's the tribes after episode 6. Fei Long: Amanda, Courtney, Denise, Frosti, Jean-Robert, and Todd Zhan Hu: Eric, Jaime, James, and Peih-Gee James got a reprieve and with the merge coming he'll likely stay another episode or two as the orignal Fei Long tribe works to remove the remaining Zhan Hu members. Jo Ann

From this week's Listener Feedback, it appears that the heat has temporarily diminished for Jean Robert and focused instead on PG and Jaime. Some believe it a masterstroke, others maintain that throwing a challenge is a classic Survivor Sin which only results in your impending doom. Either way, we're enjoying the drama. The LF shows are where you get to co-host the show with us and share your views on the most recent episode. John and Brian take us to task for abandoning James too soon, we're split as to whether this was the first ever justified challenge sabotage, but everyone's upset with Jamie and PG for laughing and giving it away. This week we hear from: Dan and Katie, Kathy, Doug, Kimberly, Toledo Dave, John, Paul, Randy, Bob, Sandi, MikeK, Brian and Lenore We love hearing what you thought about each episode, and we've got several ways you can reach us.

This season keeps delivering classic Survivor moments that we all enjoy. Just when both tribes get settled in and comfortable, everything gets turned upside down. Zhan Hu's interpretation of the "kidnap switch" was priceless. The bond between Denise and James was a bit of a surprise, and it appears that a showmance, another classic Survivor goof, is developing between Jaime and Eric. What did you think of PG's plan to throw the challenge? Jean Robert is working to save himself, but do you think he stands a chance? Who's really calling the shots in Zhan Hu now? Do you think James might actually quit without being voted out? Here's the tribes after episode 5. Fei Long: Amanda, Courtney, Denise, Frosti, Jean-Robert, Sherea, Todd Zhan Hu: Eric, Jaime, James, and Peih-Gee James basically quit in this episode, so it seems only natural to expect that he'll be the next to go. Who's your pick for the next one to get voted out? We've got several ways you can reach us. You can call and leave a voicemail at

Topics from this week's Listener Feedback include: the horseshoe that Todd evidently sat on at some point in his past, Sherea's work ethic, Jean Robert's mandarin skills, and wait for it.... Denise speaks! The LF shows are where you get to co-host the show with us and share your views on the most recent episode. Jean Robert miraculously banked more good will with Fei Long this week, but listener Kathy still thinks he's creepy. We're all enjoying the uber aggressive physical challenges and generally seem to be enjoying this season significantly more than last season. There are several theories in the feedback this week, but it's anyone's guess as to what will really happen given the tribal shuffle we're looking at in episode 5.

Episode 4 offers up another classic Survivor dilema. Who do you value more: a workhorse in camp or someone that helps you win challenges? Dave's erratic behavior and caustic leadership style finally led to his downfall. We got to see a new side of Sherea too. Fei Long resumes their winning streak, and Todd is quite possibly the luckiest person to ever play the game. Why do you think Fei Long chose to kidnap Dave? What do you think of Jean Robert now? Do you think his tribemates are really buying into his come from behind strategy? Who will emerge as the new leader in Zhan Hu and will they be able to to convince Sherea to actually do some work in camp? Here's the tribes after episode 4. Fei Long: Aaron, Amanda, Courtney, Denise, James, Jean-Robert, Todd Zhan Hu: Eric, Frosti, Jaime, Peih-Gee, Sherea Given that we're looking at a tribe shuffle next week, Jo Ann says she's got no clue who will be voted out next. Stacy's going to go with Courtney since she appears to have the least to offer any tribe. W

From this week's feedback, we all seemed to really enjoy the surprises in episode 3. The LF shows are where you get to co-host the show with us and share your views on the most recent episode. Once again, Jean Robert's "strategy" is a hot button topic for many listeners. Courtney sparked many comparisons to the infamous flubbed final four fire starting challenge between Becky and Sundra in Survivor Cook Islands as well as Jaime's rope cutting fiasco from episode 5 of Survivor Guatemala. Several folks expressed a strong disappointment in Leslie's choices given our affinity for true fans of the show.

Woohoo! We got to do a phone interview with Leslie Nease today, and we can't wait to share it with you. Like a lot of you, we've been really missing the extra "behind the scenes" info we used to get from watching Survivor Live. Each TV episode condenses 3 days down to about 45 minutes minus the commercials. We all know there's lots more that happens that we don't get to see.So, when we were offered the opportunity to do interviews this season, we were really excited and started thinking about how to ask questions to provide some extra details about Leslie's experience, her fellow Survivors and life at Fei Long's camp.

Wow, episode 3 of Survivor China was packed with even more twists, turns and surprises than last week! Daffy Dave continued to berate his tribemates with wacky outbursts, developed a new compulsion to clean things in his outdoor surroundings, and decided to compete in the reward challenge by stripping down to his birthday suit. Amazingly, Zhan Hu easily won both challenges. Ok, so no one was surprised to find out that Courtney was worthless in a physical challenge. Leslie, the Christian Radio Host, turns out to be the least trusted person in the game. Who do you think is really pulling the strings in Fei Long? Could Jean Robert emerge as the "puppet master" of the tribe in spite of his apparent lack of a social game? How do you think the two tribes compare now? Here's the tribes after episode 3. Fei Long: Aaron, Amanda, Courtney, Denise, James, Jean-Robert, Todd Zhan Hu: Dave, Eric, Frosti, Jaime, Peih-Gee, Sherea We're betting that Zhan Hu's victory will be short lived, and we're going to pick Dave agai

Everyone we heard from this week really enjoyed episode 2, and several of you offered up some great observations on how this season is shaping up. The LF shows are where you get to co-host the show with us and share your views on the most recent episode. This week's themes focus on praise for Todd's skillful play, condemnation of Jean Robert's "lazy man" strategy, destructive Dave's spiral into oblivion, and the potential impact of the Hidden Immunity Idol along with some parting shots at Ashley.

Survivor's back, and they're already kicking the drama and action into high gear with episode 2. In a bit of an uncommon twist, both tribes seem to really want and need leaders. Ashley's choice to continually go after Dave led to her downfall. When is it ok or safe to challenge the leader of the tribe? What do you think about JR's "lazy man" strategy? For Leslie, there's no question. It truly is better to give than to receive. Do you think she chose well? What will happen when someone else in her tribe gets a clue and tells everyone else how it works? What do you think about how the challenges are shaping up? Here's the tribes after episode 2. Fei Long: Aaron, Amanda, Courtney, Denise, James, Jean-Robert, Leslie, Todd Zhan Hu: Dave, Eric, Frosti, Jaime, Peih-Gee, Sherea We both think that Zhan Hu will lose the next immunity challenge too, and we're picking Dave as next to go. Who's your pick for the next one to get voted out? We've got several ways you can reach us. You can call and leave a

It's our first Listener Feedback show for Survivor China! The LF shows are where you get to co-host the show with us and share your views on the most recent episode.

Welcome back Survivor Fans! One of the cardinal rules of Survivor is, "Don't isolate yourself." It's interesting to contrast how James and Chicken handled the early stage of the game. James, a self professed loner, accepted and bonded with Leslie and got tips for how to better fit into the tribe. Chicken took every opportunity to point out what he thought his tribemates were doing wrong and consistently chose to physically stand apart from them. While he was busy complaining about how they couldn't work together, five of his tribemates banded together to decide he didn't deserve to keep playing. We're in the 15th season now and we still see people who show up to play and not realize it's primarily a social game. Do you think Peih-Gee will be able to keep it together to lead her team to victory? Will Dave and Peih-Gee fight over who's really the leader? What happened to Zhan Hu at the end of the challenge? Do you think anyone in Zhan Hu really thinks that Dave is being sincere? What did Jean-Robert gain fro

Let's talk about Survivor China! We've got a preview show that's perfect for all you Survivor fans. In keeping with our tradition of deep dives into shallow pools for the preview show, we dig into the bios and preview videos to bring you 90 minutes of analysis based on as few facts as possible. As usual, there are some great contrasting viewpoints on how well we expect each castaway to do, and it's as amusing, insightful, and delightful as previous seasons.
