Who Will Win Survivor: China?: James "The Gravedigger"

From the beginning, I felt that James was playing the game honestly and quietly and would be a strong contender to win it all. I have changed my opinion of his game play, but I am choosing James "The Gravedigger" to win Survivor: China. With the recent shake-up in the members of the two tribes, it is going to be extremely difficult for James, but he is so strong both mentally and physically that you cannot write him off.

He will certainly have to scramble now that he has moved from The Fei Long tribe to the Zhan Hu along with fellow Fei Long team mate Aaron. Especially since Jaime and Peih Gee conspired together to vote both Aaron and James off as soon as possible. Without telling their team mates Jaime and Peih Gee threw the immunity challenge so they could vote off their two new tribe members even though the addition of James and Aaron strengthened them as a team.

It is easy to get caught up in the inner workings of this game and like certain people because they are fair and decent people, like James, but one must remember that the object of this game is to out think, outwit and outlast the opposition. One must remember this is a GAME. Some people will call this a reality show, which it surely is not. There is not even much reality displayed in the actions of the players because they are after all playing a GAME. It puzzles me why over the season many players struggle with separating who they are in real life from who they should be in the game. For those of you who follow this game like I do, you will remember Johnny Fair Play who told the other players after a reward challenge that his grandmother had died so the others would give him the visit with his friend thinking he needed it to be comforted about his grandmothers death. The only catch was she was not dead and Johnny had planned this little skit with his friend before he ever came on the show. Now does this make him a scumbag or a brilliant player, or both.

I feel it is a game and everything goes. That doesn't mean one way is right or wrong, or good or bad. One must simply choose the way they think they can stay in the game to the end, and then carry out their plan. Now watching the game I choose favorites based on the way they play and the personality they display, but that doesn't mean I think those who play like sneaks and snakes are bad people. They just have a different approach to the game, and the only way to see who has chosen the best way is to watch they entire season and see who gets chosen the survivor on the last show. History will show you that the most likable person has not always won the show. The reason for that is when it is finally over and the "Jury" is deciding who they want to win, they can sometimes see that even though they didn't like the way someone played the game and may never choose to play that way themselves, that it was a game plan that worked.

So having said all of this I think James will find a way to stay in this game to the merge, and once they merge I just don't really think anyone can compete with him in individual challenges, therefore James will win Survivor: China. I believe Jaime and Peih Gee will pay for throwing the challenge and would not be surprised to see them go next. I don't have a clue how he will do this because Eric and Jaime have a thing for each other, but I think he will find a way. I think the 2 tribes will merge within the next week or two and James will be extremely difficult to beat. As far as Fei Long goes Jean Robert should be the next one to go. He has gone from being lazy and disliked to being bossy and disliked, so his life in the game is almost over. Unlike the Zhan Hu tribe, Fei Long has embraced their new members in Sherea and Frosti and those two may make it to the final four. I think Eric is playing a very good game and along with James will make it ti the final four. James, Eric, Sherea, and Frosti are my picks for the final four. I believe James will continue winning immunity and Sherea will go leaving 3 men. I once again think James wins the final immunity and takes Eric to the end with him. James plays the game straight up and will take Eric because Eric will stand up in an effort to make the girls realize their mistake in throwing challenges, thus saving James until the merge where he can save himself .

I can just hear everyone out there reading this and saying, "This guy has to be crazy". That is what is so great about this GAME (NOT REALITY SHOW) everyone has a different opinion. What I think is so good about all of the opinions is, There is no one opinion that is right or wrong, just simply................An Opinion, and...........................everyone has one and ..............................everyone is entitled to their own. I'd love to hear what everyone else thinks will happen! LET THE FUN BEGIN!!!!!
