Shaolin Temple China - Survivor Visit

The tribe members from Survivor China are informed they are in for a treat of immense proportions. Immediately following Tribal Council they are told they will not return to camp as usual. Instead there will be an unprecedented reward challenge. The winner of the reward challenge will be taken on a special visit to the Shaolin Temple. This rare opportunity to visit the historical temple will include a trip on a private jet, a feast, and entertainment.

The winner of the challenge will choose two other tribe members to join him or her on the trip. They will be asked a series of questions on Chinese culture. They retrieve black bags from under their seating and discover boards with answer choices on them. The winner will be the first to get to a designated number of points.

The questions:
True or False: China is credited with the invention of the abacus. The answer is true. Todd, Peih Gee, Denise, and James are right.
Which item is not a sign of the Chinese zodiac? Rabbit, cat, rooster. Cat, all are right.
True or False: 99% of the Panda's diet is Bamboo. All but Denise are right with a true answer.
The capital of China is Bejing. Peih Gee, James, Todd are right.
Receiving a red envelope is a sign of a love letter, a draft notice, a death notice, cash.
The answer is cash, but everyone is all over the board on this one, but Peih Gee wins the reward with a correct response.

Peih Gee chooses two people to go with her. She chooses Eric and Denise. They are told to go back to camp and get some sleep as they are leaving early in the morning. They spend a restless night in anticipation.

Denise is honored to go, but worries that when you leave camp things go on and you don't know where you stand when you return. Those left behind the others decided to eat plenty and then thought about keeping it to the four that remained. James suggests that they frolick naked, in other words, stay with the group and don't be tempted by Peih Gee and Eric. Not everyone is wholeheartedly with him.

The three are whisked away by private jet and enjoy champagne and snacks while they discuss being the final three. Denise doesn't buy into it knowing that Peih Gee and Eric are on the outside of the group. Arriving at the Shaolin Temple, Peih Gee is in awe at the 1500 year old temple. Being Chinese, she feels connected. She speaks of the temple monks who are renowned for their marshal art talent and prowess. Denise says that this is the reward she would want the most. After taking marshal arts herself, she opened a school and is awaiting her black belt. She finds the marshall arts demonstration inspiring and speaks of the seemingly effortless movements of the marshal arts experts. The Survivors are draped in shawls and eventually find themselves in traditional Chinese garb. Children appear and the young students teach them some moves.

Denise is requested by the master to demonstrate some of her Kung Fu knowledge for the others and she shares some moves. They dine that evening on traditional food in the amazing setting of the Temple courtyard. They are shown to their quarters where they sleep on mats and relative comfort out of the elements. Peih Gee finds the temple to be inspiring and feels she will be able to "keep on trucking" even though her neck is on the line back at camp.

Very cool that they got to visit this 1500 year old temple, and had professional videographers capture their time there!
