Poker pro Jean-Robert Bellande is the first professional poker player to air on the TV reality show Survivor, which is taking place in China for the first time. The first episode of Survivor: China, which aired on September 21st, divided the 16 contestants into two tribes. Bellande, one of the physically largest of the competitors, confronted one of the smallest, Todd Herzog, a gay Mormon flight attendant. He said he wasn't sure Todd was being truthful about his occupation, and that he wanted Todd to know he was under suspicion. Jean-Robert cited his card reading abilities as a strength on the show.
