Suvivor China Fantasy League - Aaron is gone !

Okay - so Aaron is gone!

Thanks CBS - NOT - What is up with that? Putting the strong players into a no-win voting situation? HUM? Hum?
Whatever. We're breaking up. CBS - lose our number.

Now what to do? I haven't posted week 5 results yet.... But to replace Aaron.

I might as well replace James. HE may make it through next week - Maybe they could do a random team scramble next week? That's the only chance.

James hasn't really been earning that many bonus points. He was mainly good for helping the group win immunity and reward. Now if he has to put up with people throwing comps.... maybe he isn't good for those 10 to 35 points anymore. AND at risk for losing 20 points in a vote out.

He's being very vocal about his opinions. I guess that I should replace him and Aaron. What a shame. I've had them for 5 weeks now - from the start of the game.

Maybe CBS will do something to get back at Jamie and PG? IT sounded as though Jeff wasn't too happy with their behavior. If they are allowed to continue, next week will be VERY boring - for the people that continue to watch this season.

    OKAY - so we've lost DAVE.
    OF COURSE.


    He was such a good point scorer. Does that imply that the louder the contestant, the more the points, and the more likely they are to be voted out? Maybe. Denise hasn't been getting that much air time - so few points. But, probably won't be voted out... ANYWAY - We lost Dave. So, who to pick? A high scorer from the red team?

    Or, add someone from the yellow team for points no matter which team wins?

    This is kind of a problem, as it seems as though people didn't score so much in week 4. I am looking at their points, and no one seems to be a good earner to me.

    Of course, I realize that it is all dependent on who gets shown on tv. The less players available, they will have to start showing some more of these people.


    After a lot of deliberation, I have selected Frosti to replace Dave.

    The new team:

    Survivor China Fantasy League Results week 4 ( Episode 1504 )

    My new team player:

    Amanda

    Amanda: Wins Reward (group) 10
    Amanda: Wins Immunity (group) 25

    I earned 35 points from Amanda this week.
    Not too terrible - not too great, either



    Dave
    Says name of their own tribe 40
    Dave Voted Off -20

    He said the tribe name - which earned me 40.
    He slept away from the tribe, twice but I did not
    get credit for those 80 points, because I assigned Dave to
    "say the tribe's name"

    So, this week, Dave earned me 20 points this week.







    Aaron
    Reads Tree Mail 10
    Wins immunity (group) 25
    Wins Reward (group) 10
    Says name of tribe (2 times) 80

    So, Aaron earned me 125 points this week!!
    Go Aaron!


    James

    Wins immunity 25 points
    Wins reward 10 points

    So, James earned me 35 points this week. ....

    For a total of 215 points this week....
    Geese, if it weren't for Aaron, we'd be having another below 100 week.





    Week 1 272 points
    Week 2 208 points
    Week 3 73 points
    Week 4 215 points

    Total =768 points as of week Four.



    and... I guess that I'll have to find someone to replace DAVE now that he's gone.
    You think that he could have at least given some great points on his last week.

    So.... now I have to select someone to replace Leslie because she was voted off.

    This was a fairly difficult choice. I looked up the points earned by each player. There are a few players with higher points that I don't already have on my team. The problem is, they received most of their points in the first or second week. ..... HUM..... so, does that mean that they are done for awhile?



    They only receive points if something they say/do makes the show... so, sounds like it's all up to CBS editing.


    There were a few higher scoring players from each tribe available to select. Hum... I already have 2 players from Fei Long (James & Aaron) and one player from Zhan Hu (Dave)



    If I select another player from Zhan Hu, then I may earn points from two players no matter who wins.... (unless they mix up the tribes this week)


    Although that sounds like a good plan,.... after watching episode 1503, everyone seemed to be kicking ass except for Courtney. Everyone, even the smaller, thinner, women, seemed to be able to chop down the ropes.

    I really think that if Courtney was used for the reward challenge, instead of the immunity challenge, then tribe Fei Long would have won immunity for the third week in a row. They are strong, and work fairly well together. They even patiently helped talked Courtney through "sawing" the ropes.. etc.

    I'm going to bank on Fei Long to win this week, hoping that they have learned their lesson and won't give Courtney any important physical tasks to complete.

    So, I need to pick a higher-scoring player from Fei Long.


    My new, replacement player is:......


    wait for it....




    AMANDA!

    Survivor China Fantasy League Results Week 3

    Survivor China Fantasy League Results week 3 ( Episode 1503 )

    My new team player:

    Dave:
    Dave Gets Naked 40
    Dave Says name of their own tribe 40
    Dave Sprint Forward in the Game: Wins Immunity (group) 25

    I earned 65 points from Dave this week. I assigned Dave to
    "say the tribe name" and not "get naked" so I won the 40
    points for him saying the tribe name once. - and I don't get the points for nakedness.

    (darn it - he said it 4 times last week!! -
    when he wasn't my player)




    Leslie
    Says name of their own tribe 40
    Leslie Sits Out Challenge -12
    Leslie Sleeps Away from the tribe 40
    Leslie Voted Off -20

    Leslie was not part of the challenge, and got voted off,
    so that cost me 32 points.

    She said the tribe name - which earned me 40.
    She slept away from the tribe, but I did not
    earn those 40 points, because I assigned Leslie to
    "say the tribe's name"

    So, this week, Leslie earned me 8 points.

    Aaron & James



    Aaron didn't earn me ANY points this week at all !!!
    James didn't earn me ANY points this week at all !!!



    That just goes to show that picking a team player that may get voted
    off isn't necessarily the worst choice! Aaron is a good player,
    and has earned a decent amount of points, but received NONE this week!
    James has done so-so - last week his points were down to 35......

    If I hadn't have traded for Dave instead of Courtney - my score would be truely scary. If I didn't have Dave, I would have only earned 8 points from outgoing Leslie.

    So - I earned a total of 73 points this week. Dissappointing

    Week 1 272 points
    Week 2 208 points
    Week 3 73 points
    Total =553 points as of week three.

    Survivor China Week 3 Fantasy Player Selections

    So - people are still scoring a lot higher than me, even though I had all 4 players on the winning team both previous weeks.

    All of my survivors won all contests, and I have since re-assigned "Leslie" to earn points with "Said tribe's name" -

    I can't figure it out, how are people scoring so much more than me?

    So - I started to view how much each player is earning.

    So, I decided to select Dave.

    He has a chance of getting voted out, due to
    his behavior, but he said his tribe's name 4 times last week!

    He is the leader - or thinks he is, which would give him more reasons to say the name of the tribe.

    There was also discussion of Courtney maybe being sent home, so I decided to trade Courtney for DAVE.

    Another good point: if James/Aaron & Leslie's tribe doesn't win the contests this week, I will have someone from the other tribe to add some points to my score.

    Ice Fun in China





    The survivors probably aren't going to be doing anything like this!

    Survivor China Immunity

    Survivor China Fantasy RESULTS Week 2

    SO......... Although some people scored higher than me in week 1, I was still fairly happy with my selections, so, I kept my team the same for week 2.

    James, Leslie and Courtney and Aaron

    Again, my players were the tribe to win immunity and the reward challenge.

    For Episode 1502:



    James:
    James Sprint Forward in the Game: Wins Immunity (group) 25
    James Wins Reward Challenge (group) 10

    James only earned me 35 points because he did not say the tribe name.


    Courtney:
    Courtney Sits Out Challenge -12 Courtney Sprint Forward in the Game: Wins Immunity (group) 25 Courtney Wins Reward Challenge (group) 10 I lost 12 points for Courtney not participating.... so Courtney only earned me 23 points




    Leslie:
    Leslie Cries 12
    Leslie Sits Out Challenge -12
    Leslie Sprint Forward in the Game: Wins Immunity (group) 25
    Leslie Wins Reward Challenge (group) 10

    Leslie cried, which would have given me 12 additional points, but then, she didn't participate in a challenge, so I lost 12 points.

    Leslie only earned me 35 points because she did not say the tribe name.




    Aaron:
    Aaron Says name of their own tribe ( 2 ) 80
    Aaron Sprint Forward in the Game: Wins Immunity (group) 25
    Aaron Wins Reward Challenge (group) 10

    Aaron earned me 115 points because he said the name of the tribe twice.

    So, my total points earned for week 2 were 208 points. This isn't as much as last week, but at least I'm still accumlating points.

    Week 1 272 points
    Week 2 208 points
    Total =480 points as of week two.

    Survivor China Fantasy Selections Week 2

    Survivor China Fantasy Selections Week 2

    For week 2, I decided to keep my team the same. I realize that my team isn't going to win every week, and that sometimes players are reassigned to other teams,... but I had a feeling that they could win again.

    So, my week two (Episode 1502) consists of:






    James , Courtney , Leslie , and Aaron.

    For more information about why I choose these players the previous week, (and kept them for this week) Click here to see the post about week 1 team selections.

    Survivar China Fantasy League Week 1 Results

    After watching the first Survivor Episode, I was pleased that all of my team choices were together on the same tribe: Fei Long (anybody else not liking these tribe names?)

    Although - that could be a bad thing if the tribe looses, because then all of your fantasty players loose, and you may have a player voted out.

    Anyway - Here's how my players scored for me the first week:

    James:
    Winning immunity group: 25 points
    Winning Reward group: 10 points
    Said tribe name: 40 points

    ( you have to assign tasks for your players to earn points
    - I assigned "say tribe name" to James, so I did earn the 40 points. )

    So - James earned me 75 points in Episode One. ( 1501 )

    Courtney:
    Winning immunity group: 25 points
    Winning Reward group: 10 points
    Said tribe name: 40 points

    (I also assigned Courtney to "say tribe name")

    So- Courtney also earned me 75 points in Episode One. ( 1501 )

    Leslie:
    Cries 12 points
    Winning immunity group: 25 points
    Winning Reward group: 10 points
    (Said tribe name: 40 points) - I didn't earn these points.

    ( Leslie did say the tribe's name, but I had assigned her to
    "Sing a Song" so I did NOT earn those 40 points. )

    So- Leslie earned me 47 points in Episode One ( 1501 )

    Aaron:
    Winning immunity group: 25 points
    Winning Reward group: 10 points
    Said tribe name: 40 points

    (I assigned Aaron to "say tribe's name" so I got this 40 points)

    So- Aaron also earned me 75 points in Episode One. ( 1501 )

    My total for the first week was 272 points. I thought that I had done pretty well, considering that ALL of my survivors won both competitions, and were on the same team,but I noticed on the survivor site that a lot of people had higher scores than me.


    Opening Survivor China Fantasy Selections Week 1

    My first team selections were James, Lesley, Aaron, and Courtney.

    I read the information on each Survivor contestant - and selected these four.

    It's been a couple weeks since I made those first selections........
    I'm trying to recall the thought process behind selecting them.

    James

    I distintly remember selecting James because he is a grave digger. I figured the physical job would have helped him be prepared him for the game.


    • Funny, in episode 1503 James says he doesn't "eat" outdoors, and that his tribe has a "slow learning curve" . He goes on to say that he spent 4 hours in Barnes and Noble reading a survival guide - and because of that, compared to his tribe members, he feels like Crocodile Dundee. ( He makes no mention of his muscles or physical endurance - at least not that CBS gives air time to)





    Courtney and Leslie, ( in that order )

    I think that I choose Courtney and Leslie in the hopes that they may cry or sing a song (bonus points) and to balance my team with women. Sometimes a challenge has aspects where a lighter, thinner person has an advantage.

    • Three episodes into Survivor China and I haven't noticed any benefits to being thin.
    • Maybe it's easier to tolerate the hot weather, but they have no fat or calorie reserves for starving!


    Aaron

    Aaron was also selected for his employment. According to his CBS bio, he is currently a surfing instructor, and has certification from the American Council on Exercise. For social and leadership qualities, he is a bartender in Hawaii, manages a tapas restaurant, and has previously worked in home remodeling ( i.e. construction skills?) - So, anyway, he seemed like a good choice from an endurance and social standpoint.

    Chicken: voted off week 1

    I always feel bad for reality show people that get sent home the first week. They didn't really have a chance. It's like a contest of who is the slowest to make friends, without bringing the most attention upon themselves by trying to hard.


    Ashley: voted off week 2

    Was it just me, or were we all expecting a pro-wrestler to be tough? Maybe all of her stamina went into those two lip rings.


    Leslie: voted off week 3

    Leslie thought that she could inspire her team mates by talking up the other team. Maybe her kids fall for that. To the other players she sounded disloyal. Worse yet, she was way too naive if she believed that Zhan Hu has so much team spirit. Has she never heard of putting on a front for company? Please! DAVE is on that team, and they've already lost 2 members at this point.


    Dave: voted off week 4

    Dave thought that he could tell everyone what to do. I think he said that he had humility? Please. Anyway, he was good for fantasy player points.... but now he's gone.


    Aaron: voted off week 5

    Okay, so maybe I'm starting to get a complex.This is the 3rd week in a row that one of my best players was voted off. Why? It seems very unfair of CBS to put the strongest players into a no-win voting situation. Maybe if it was down to individual immunity time... Come on CBS - you couldn't think of anything else to break the winning streak? Why not use just a random mix up like with Survivor Fiji??



    Information about 6'th voted off to be posted here.
