With Day 12 in China's Jiangxi Province marked by the forced departure of Dave Cruser, Day 13 of Survivor: China begins with eleven of the original sixteen players still on those two Zhelin Lake islands. The big event is the traditional "tribal switch", which of course may wreak havoc on the alliances already formed amongst the players. One of these alliances, however, seems fairly safe, with romance blossoming between Jaime Dugan and Erik Huffman of the Zhan-Hu tribe. Elsewhere, Jaime and Peih-Gee Law deliberately undermine their tribe's chances for winning the Immunity Challenge (assembling a Chinese zodiac from marked sticks on a floating platform) in hopes of eliminating a third party. And there's a surprise in store for one and all concerning the elusive Immunity Idol.
