Survivor Fiji


I have watch Survivor since Season 2 and never have I been more proud of than to have our very own Malaysian, Chan Yau Man for this latest season.

Hailed from Kota Kinabalu, this man of prowess finished his studies in the States and now holds the position of a Director in one of the most prestigious universities there.

He played the game right in Survivor and uphold intergrity throughout while playing (except for the fake immunity idol, he made). Unfortunately he did not get to win the million bucks (got played out by Dreamz who did not hold his promises to Chan) but nontheless he made it to the final four. Eventhough Earl won the million bucks, he was even branded by a former survivor contestant The Ultimate Survivor.

It was:
"Yau Man is a true Survivor and a class act all the way." (quoted by Terry Deitz- Survivor Panama, Exile Island)

"To Yau-Man; Thanks for setting the standards of Survivor to a new level. The Immunity Necklace should be called the Yau-Man necklace. A shot of Jack or Sake with you any time. You should give up ping-pong and write a book on, “How To Win at Survivor.“ I think that the Pirate Master will be a flop without some older people (there were a lot of older real pirates), me and the Yau-Man. I really think that all the older Survivors can kick butt. Also, I have some real pirate wenches on myspace." (quoted by Bruce Kanegai- Survivor Panama, Exile Island)

"From the neck up Yau Man is one of the most powerful players the game has ever seen. He’s one of the most active thinkers and most cognizant of his surroundings of anyone that’s played. " (quoted by Bobby Mason - Survivor Panama, Exile Island)

"In all the seasons of Survivor, Yau-man has rightfully earned the title of OVER-ALL ULTIMATE SURVIVOR! Earl is a very nice man. However, he will soon be forgotten. Yau-man, however, will go down in Survivor history as the most amazing human being ever to play this game." (quoted by Scout Cloud Lee - Survivor Vanuatu)

How do i know all these when they do not show this season of Survivor on our shore? The reliable internet and CBS network of course. Go to http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor14/

What i don't understand is, why aren't our tv stations airing Survivor this time round? We have a Malaysian on it and i think the country needs to show our support for him as he plays the game (although, they're usually air the episode months after they're back).

I mean, this guy is a through and through Malaysian (yes, he's a US citizen now) and we're not making a big fuss out of it. But former Miss Georgia (Miss America 2006 1st runner up), Monica Pang who was not born here, who never grew up here and who don't even really know her roots here in this country until after she won her title - BIG media hype!

Well, i'm waiting to see if after the news appears from the US about Yau Man, our local tv might consider airing Survivor Fiji. But one thing is for sure, if he had won the 1 million bucks - they'll definitely show, without a doubt.
