Totally, he’s a Vietnamese refugee hippie shaman nail salon manager. I want to read his autobiography and possibly join his cult.
It’s easy to spot his clut’s initiates. Look for the red dot. 
I had a sinus headache last night. I would have accepted a red dot to get rid of my “Bad Wind.”
And possibly Jewish-- he was wearing a Star of David necklace. Must be a member of that mysterious 14th tribe-- the Hanoi Hebrews.
You wring its neck. Grab it by the head and twist. (I was rooting for the chickens, too, except I was shouting out my favorite Shakespeare line: “Fly, Fleance, fly, fly,fly!”
I was amused when Sekou was trying to explain why he shouldn’t be voted off. “Who else is going to build the fire?” I kept shouting, “Show me the fire!”
I have to say that as soon as Jeff announced the challenge, I opined that the Asians would kick ass. How’s that for sterotyping?
He does win certain level of recognition for not being connected to reality…
In his exit speech, he said something to the effect of “We didn’t work well as a team, but I used teamwork to bring us all together, so they all got together and voted me off, and that teamwork is going to make them strong!”
He’ll be like the weapons dealer in Mystery Men, throwing confetti and saying, “That’s my team!!!” as his friends edge quietly away from the crazy person…
Machete. Neck. 'Nuff said?
I know my joke was bad, but I thought ya’ll would get it and at least groan a little.
Survivor #1: “Where did Survivor #2 go?”
Survivor #2: “He went out into the woods to choke the chicken.”
According to my hubby, who’s annoyingly knowledgeable about many things involving Pacific islands, having lived all over that part of the world for 23 years, the biggest reason they’re never able to start a fire by friction is because the wood in that part of the world is just too soft. So while we’ve seen them get smoke before, that seems to be the limit of what friction can do. And I’m sure being damp doesn’t help, either.

I was referring to the interaction on the raft while they were going to the campsite, not the stuff in the previews. It seemed like she was opposed to any Asian jokes at all. I can’t understand not laughing at yourself.
Hanoi Hebrews? Count me in! I hear the rabbi, Chaim Nguyenstein, is superb!
I, for one, am annoyed by Sekou’s departure. As I mentioned in another thread, I have an indirect connection to him - a friend at work is his cousin. So I figured on getting some insider secrets on the hidden dynamics of the show as it progressed. Instead all I can hope for now is a review of the room service at some third world hotel.
The dynamics he could tell you about are the “biggest mouth gets the votes” dynamic and the “telling everyone else how to work while lolling about on the raft is not a good thing” dynamic…
Both of which even a freshman Survivor-watcher could have told him well before they even got on the ship.
Yeah, I know. They’re not going to be able to fix that with tan-in-a-can. Still, I wonder about the wisdom of it. You can get lightweight pants that are going to cover your whole leg, know just your shins, which just makes more sense. Plus: it’s damp out there – hello stinky feet with those socks!
I sort of thought that about him, too, but my husband says it’s just because he’s from Nothern California. He does strike me as something of a hippie for some reason. But he sure is pretty, regardless.
Actually, she seems to be very well rounded and intelligent, if the website is telling the truth:
Pretty impressive for a bimbo. 
Also:
WTF?

Though I think he’s kinda freaky looking for a Moose!
Random thoughts:
Re: Freaka and the escaped poultry–I don’t buy the vegan thing. I think it’s just that her brains are as scrambled as her hair and she just plain forgot about the chickens. If she had done it on purpose, she would have totally confessed to the camera as any proud sanctimonious vegan would have! Funny-ass scene, though. And I had the same thought as Slacker about the Benny Hill music.
Cao Boi is cool, but as far as the Asians go, I think the Filipina has the edge in that tribe.
Nate learned the first lesson of Survivor 101–when outnumbered by the opposite gender, stand behind the loud guy and shut up! And am I the only one who sees a light-skinned-vs-dark-skinned dynamic in Hiki?
But the most interesting thing to me was the fact that all of the ethnic-stereotype comments were coming from within the tribes. Award for dumbest statement of the show goes to the big Hispanic guy (Billy?) for his comment on how the Hispanics have the advantage because of their Caribbean heritage. Two things about that: 1) When’s the last time you were actually in the Caribbean? and 2) Can you imagine the reaction if someone had said that about an African-American contestant in Survivor:Africa ?
Other than that, it was one of the most intereresting first episodes in a long time, IMHO. And I liked the fact that the losing tribe got fire at TC. Love the TC set, too!
Are the chickens going to roam the island until someone finally catches them? If so, they’d make great mascots a la Howlie, whaddya think, rockle ? And since they’re wandering aroung the island for no good reason, howzabout naming them Bobby Jon and Steph? 
I’ll bet their pho is awesome. It’s already kosher.
My Survivor Watching Group (all of us in NorCal) immediately said “gay” when we saw him.
Maybe next season we’ll have 4 teams divided by sexual orienation: Gay, Straight, Bi, Transgendered. Or, how about Republicans vs Democrats? That might be interesting!
I think that particular TC will air on November 7! 
Actually, that might make for an interesting immunity challenge:
“THE DEMOCRATS WIN IMMUNITY!”
“Jeff, why do you hate America?”
