the Survivors

It was a busy night here in Tuvalu. Nothing terrible, just lots of in and out of beds, walks to the loo, medication administration - that sort of thing.
We were told he should go with light foods for the evening, but he would have none of that.
Macaroni and cheese and a burger - with a vanilla shake.
Tolerated very well.
So, not much sleeping, but doing pretty well.

And now that we are all done with things medical (that'll jinx it, right?) let's move on to something of a less taxing nature:

It's that time again, and I've been doing my research.
Survivor China begins Thursday and I feel obligated to make fun of the contestants.
Good natured fun...

Aaron is a 32 year old surf instructor. I can't imagine there is much surfing in China, but I could be wrong. He likes the scent of nag champa and reading Newsweek whilst eating Fruity Pebbles.

Amanda was permitted to fly kites off the Great Wall in five-inch heels. I don't think there is ANOTHER THING you need to know about her.

Ashley appears to be our 'alternative lifestyle' survivor. She's a professional wrestler and, after looking at her photo, I wonder how that works out with two lip piercings and waist-length pink hair. Her list of favorite things is pretty short and I think she could kick some ass.

Chicken is a chicken farmer. It looks as though, at 47, that he will be our token old guy/character type player - but we're only up to C. He likes the scent of early morning and brandy.

Courtney looks like Gwen Stefani. She's a waitress and has been a "historical interpreter" (a tour guide in costume) at historic homes in Salem, Massachusetts." (do I need four quotation marks there?) She lists ivy as one of her favorite flowers. I'm thinking she looks good in a bathing suit.

Dave was a model, but now he's a bartender. He's 37 and his muscles show through his tee shirt.

I think it might be a treat for you to go see Denise's profile at the cbs site. She's a school lunch lady, which, in my eyes, is reason enough to give her a million dollars. She likes Frosted Flakes and Budweiser, which I COULD HAVE GUESSED.

Erik is a 26 year old musician with a pretty face and curly hair. He reminds me of Ethan the soccer player from years past. His list of favorites is unremarkable. There's nothing for me to tease about. He seems like a good guy.

Frosti is not a snowman at all. "He has been practicing Parkour and free-running for over five years and has been hired as a traceur (a practitioner of Parkour) and free-runner in television."
I have no clue what any of that means, but I'm sure someone will fill me in.

Jaime is a student who enjoys kickboxing. She's 22 and likes Vitamin Water.

James is 30, a gravedigger and GORGEOUS. He likes the scent of cigarettes and his favorite drinks are Old Fashioneds, Tom Collins, 151 shots, Patron, and Stoli. What's not to like?

Jean-Robert is a professional poker player. He's the Number 6 Card Player in the world. Perhaps he has a good poker face?

Leslie has four children and is a Christian radio talk show host. She was a finalist in the search for Kelly Ripa's job and has been in pageants. She's 38, very fit, and likes oreos.

Peih-Gee is a stunner. She's athletic and a former dancer. Peih-Gee has traveled a lot and is presently starting her own jewelry business. I'm thinking her name is pronounced Peggy.

Sherea is another stunner! And an elementary school teacher! She describes herself as sassy, outspoken and caring - which may or may not help her IN CHINA. If her name is pronounced Sherry, I'm adding some vowels to my name to keep up with the trend.

Finally, Todd is a 22 year old flight attendant. His bio says that he is an openly gay Mormon.
I may have been able to guess one of those things from his photo.

So, that's the bunch of them.
I've read a bit over at the spoiler sites, but the only thing of real interest was that there is no Exile Island, which is okay with me.

Join me on Friday mornings and I'll recap all the action.
(Although I'm pretty sure I have to be up at the school for one of the first few episodes.)
