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.
