Survivor: China: Fireworks and Fishing Gear | TV Show Recaps | 10/12/2007
Episode Recap: "Ride the Workhorse 'Til the Tail Falls Off"Have I mentioned what an interesting group of people we have playing Survivor: China? There is such a wide variety of folks on this show that each week I feel like I'm watching an entirely new program. That's a good thing, because it is keeping the show fresh.

Fei Long won the reward challenge – a giant chopstick, flaming ball and fireworks affair – and earned fishing gear and a lesson from a local family on how to catch fish using trained diving birds. Jean-Robert stepped up as the translator, and the tribe got a lot of useful information because of him.

In his native Australia Saturday, Eric Bana slammed his beloved 1974 Ford XB Coupe into some trees during the Targa Tasmania rally. While he and his copilot emerged unscathed, the car was totaled. And what I suspect hurt the most was that, of 115 cars in the Outright Classic race, he'd only placed 53rd. That's gonna leave a mark. Monday's news was written by Ben Katner. read more
