'Survivor: China': a diva dethroned

I hate spoilers -- I don't even like reading the back of books because they give so much away. So when I heard a rumor a few weeks ago that WWE diva Ashley would be out in the second week, I wanted it to be wrong just so that the spoiler hounds would be thwarted.

But apparently, the rumor mill was right, this time.

Ashley got sent home after clashing with Dave, her team's leader. The tribe felt like they had to send one of the conflicting pair home, and they decided Dave had more value. Which is kind of too bad because Ashley was 100 percent right when she said that he was soooooo patronizing.

While all of the preshow ink was given to the environs of Survivor:China, it looks like the kidnap twist is going to mix things up more. This time around, after winning immunity challenges, the winning team gets to "kidnap" someone from the other team for a couple of days. And to mix things up further, the person who's kidnapped has to pass a clue to the hidden immunity idol to someone on the other team. So by the time the merge comes around, there will be some connections between both teams.

Another note: I love that professional poker player John-Robert thinks he is being all strategic by lying around all the time -- his lazy bum is gone as soon as his tribe loses. He is not reading this room very effectively.

Regarding that twist, Jaime was the kidnapped and went with Fei Long. She decided to give the clue to Leslie, whom she perceived to be the weakest link on the tribe. Leslie decided she wanted to ally with mastermind Todd and told him about it. He was nice to her about it, but thinks it'll be great when she's gone and he's the only one with the information.
