Okay, so we have plotting all over, foreshadowing ten different things for tonight’s show, and one very disgruntled viewer who doesn’t want to see Jon on her TV screen anymore…
Discuss…
Rupert is beginning to seem a bit like Rasputin to this fan. He wields an extraordinary amount of influence in the tribe. After he had given the ‘breakfast buffet’ reward to Burton(?) and Burton was thinking about whom to share it with, Rupert, who was right behind Burton, said something like “give it to Lill”. With NO hesitation, Burton chose Lill to share the reward. That’s just one example.
Tonight, let it be RUPERT!!!
I’ll say Rupert goes tonight. Figure for at least one ep everyone else will get their heads out of their collective butts, and realize they have to get rid of him to have any chance of winning. Don’t think he is capable of pulling a Brian and running the table.
Would have offered someone else, but the spoiler sites convinced me otherwise (as well as making me gag. If they turn out to be true as to the final 2, they will highlight what I consider a major problem with this show.)
No, no, I still like Rupert! I think the cameras are playing up the influence that he has over the others. If he was really that powerful, he would not have stayed in the game last week, especially after they showed practically everyone plotting against him.
Hey Dinsdale, can you spoiler tag who the rumored final 2 are?
I’m hoping one isn’t Jonny Fairplay.
Anyway, I bet Rupert or Burton goes tonight. At some point the rest of the tribe members have to realize those 2 are far and away the most powerful don’t they?
Lil is going to pull a Jan and slide into the final 4 by being a non-threatening non-factor, which seems to be a reasonably effective way to play.
Whoa! I like Rupert too! As for game logistics I’d say he’s the superior player. It is a game, there will be back stabbing, cut throat antics till the end.
His strength will get him booted because he seriously could swoop this game.
I hope he wins the mill.
I agree either Rupert or Burton goes depending on who wins immunity.
I like Rupert’s chances at any given game. He’s just that competitive. I hope he pulls a colby. Hell, if I were Rupert, I’d sneak off with the spear, leave the rest of them starving.
I do think the cameras are playing up the whole plot against Rupert thing, kinda like they did with Lex in Africa. Remember on the finale when they were all agreed that everyone liked lex and he’d have won if he made the final two? Plus, last week, they didn’t pull any surprises with the vote, just strictly went with the batting order.
I hope they get rid of stupid John as soon as possible.
Darrah beats Lill
Gag me!
Please say it isn’t so!
I think the girls (all of them, the Morgans and the Drakes) have had enough of Rupert, and may engineer his being voted out tonight. As much as they claim to be his friend, I think Sandra and Christa may kick his butt outta there soon.
Just my two cents…
And the Spoiler’s say…
Lillian wins the IC, which she shares with Rupert, and Rupert is the boot
Now that Ryno is gone- Rupert finally gets it. Got to say he kind of deserves it. As of late he has been playing a rather hamfisted game. Still his “allies” are stupid to boot him until later in the game. But Sandra hasn’t proven to be too smart or useful, so no expecting that to change now.
Huh? If she shares the immunity with Rupert, how does he get the boot? Plus, I swear, if Darrah wins this season, I’m done with Survivor. After the all-star season. I mean it.
Crap, in the spoiler I meant…
Rupert wins Reward, Lillians win IC, Rupert is the boot
sorry for the confusion.
Survivor’s over in the Eastern U.S. but I will still use a spoiler box incase the west coast hasn’t seen it:
I’m disappointed, not because Rupert was voted off (ok maybe a little, he was my favorite) but because they let the outcasts return to the show. That totally changed the dynamics an a very, very bad way. As much as I hate Jon and think he needs to have that smirk wiped off his face, he fought hard and belongs there - he has earned it. But there’s no way Burton or Lill should still be in this game, and because of that Rupert got voted off. Drake would have been strong after the merge, but now they’re weak and crumbling, and probably will not survive. Could this also date back to the IC they intentionally thew? I think Jon and Burton are set though to make it to the final 2, as much as I’d hate to see it. Bah, I’m upset over the way the show has developed and don’t think I’ll be watching this season anymore 
As for next week’s previews (which I’m not watching 
) I wonder what Jon’s big crisis is?
I felt a mixture of sympathy and relief. I felt sorry for the pathetic Rupert, but I’m glad it’s not going to be another season of “Colby Takes the Cake”.
Rupert’s exit speech was humiliating. If he was playing the game to be accepted, he deserved to be outwitted, outplayed, and outlasted. This ain’t no made for TV movie!
Lil, Lil, Lil. Glad she didn’t cave in, and I’m glad she stuck to her gun and kept her reward. Burton and Rupert had an arrangment, not her. And I thought the arrangement was dumb anyway. If you win something and give it away, don’t expect anything in return.
The look on Sandra’s face at TC was priceless.
Poor Hagrid. He had all the skills needed to win, he just didn’t know how to use them to go the distance. In particular, he never came up with a strategy to deal with snake-in-the-grass Jon.
Now that Rupert’s been voted off, there is absolutely no reason left for me to keep watching it.
Ooh. I hope West Coasters stay away from my post!
