Survivor: China: In the next-to-last episode of Survivor: China, Denise has been struggling with a question--who does she think she can win against if she were in Survivor's final two?

Denise had a tough choice after she won the immunity challenge, which involved players giving each other arrows. When the challenge started, Denise wound up with the next-to-least number of arrows and admitted that she was low on the totem pole of her alliance. To move up on the totem pole, she invited two important players to go on a trip with her to the Great Wall of China--Todd, a Survivor player so catty and conniving that he's like a human bag of Meow Mix, and Courtney, who is a little less catty (and, according to a commenter, from Boston and a Suffolk grad).

This decision made Amanda and Peih-Gee outraged because it was a clear attempt for Denise to sync up with the popular kids. And Peih-Gee took Denise on a trip with her, which means Denise has screwed her over twice. While the others were traipsing about on the Great Wall, Amanda and Peih-Gee realized they liked each other and agreed that Denise was a "puppet." The rage and friendship must have fueled Amanda because she won the immunity challenge. However, Denise could have won that challenge.

Instead, she flat-out gave up during the Immunity Challenge. The challenge combined past challenges into one--which meant Denise was faced with her nemesis--the chicken fetus. She tried to eat it, and she probably could have beaten Courtney, but she gave up. Probst the Host seemed disgusted with Denise, saying, "Denise, after 36 days and a 1 in 4 shot, and you're not even trying?"

Not even trying is definitely grounds for dismissal if you made it that far. So Amanda took the Immunity Necklace. Amanda decided to vote out Peih-Gee instead of Todd because she knew she'd trounce him in a jury. Perhaps proving what Amanda and Peih-Gee said about her, Denise went right along with it, and Peih-Gee went home.

The finale will be tonight, and two people from Massachusetts (even if Courtney doesn't live here anymore, she counts) will be battling it out for the win. Regarding Courtney, she deserves propers for making it so far with absolutely no physical strength. She's doing something right, and she might get the million if she can put up with Todd for a few more days.

Kid Nation: Kid Nation finally concluded its project in Bonanza City. The producers gave the kids a test to see how well they would hold up if they abolished the kids' routine and the book that tells the Town Council what to do each week. The answer? The kids didn't do so well.

Bostonist expected Guylan in particular to keep his head because his bio claims he is versed in socialist doctrine since he has that thing for Castro. But he was soon stealing gumballs while all the other kids went nuts. (Later on, Guylan felt remorse and said, "We need to learn the hard way sometimes.") A catfight even broke out, and only a few kids had enough sense to get the situation under control.

After preparing for a Bonanza City Bonanza, the kids' parents showed up. (Some of the probably asked themselves what they were thinking by letting their kids on the show after they saw the living conditions.) After giving out a few more Gold Stars (Laurel just missed getting another one), the kids headed off into the sunset, where therapists were no doubt waiting with open arms.
