Why if Burton and Lil are immune to tribal council vote were they allowed to compete in the immunity competetion? I would think they would have sat out if they were not eligeble. I realize Burton can give away immunity but that would make 3 safe.

I didn't mind that they all participated. After all Jee got to play for immunity and it changed the game somewhat. Basically Burton and Lill were playing to make sure the person they wanted out did not win.

I figured it was a way to help them "assimilate" again...I mean, first...other tribemates would be ticked if B or L won (they DO have immunity after all). However, I'm willing to bet B won BIG points with Rupert when he "assigned" the immunity to him. For B, he probably figures he has now won points with Rupert, Sandra and Christa....an alliance of 4 at this point could be pretty darn powerful.

Sometimes I think MB has way too much time on his hands...he is able to manipulate things beautifully!

I don't think that Burton was trying to gain BIG points with Rupert. We must remember that at the time of Burton's departure he had just made what he felt was a pact with Rupert to vote out the girls so that they wouldn't gun for the "strong guys". And, Rupert was held hostage by Morgan the night Burton's torch went out.

It will be interesting to see whether Rupert has a change of heart towards Burton or is he still hanging with the girls and gunning for Burton???

No..it is quite obvious that Burton and Rupert have repaired their broken bridges.....they are gonna be "tight" for some time to come. I REALLY see Burton, Lil, Rupert, Sandra, and Christa staying together till the rest are gone...ABSOLUTELY. They made the agreement tonight and I don't think ANY one of them will turn until the others are gone...

I also saw it as an "apology" to Rupert for the things that he had said about him...giving Immunity away to him was a statement of "let's keep you around"....

Yes, NMLB...I was so happy that Rupert was able to communicate his hurt to Burton, who was man enough to accept that he may have inadvertently hurt Rupert's feelings, not having known Rupert's past. I was so proud of both of them, and hope they both go farthur. I hope Sandra and Christa allow Burton to stay with them until the others are gone.

You said it all Caycaye! I thought that Burton really was standing tall tonite. What a great show!

I think Butron's offer of immunity was to show he was willing to make his actions consistent with his words to Rupert.

It's easy to say what the other person wants to hear. It's another thing to show it in front of everyone. While it's true that Burton was still safe, so seeming not to really change anything, what he did was communicate to everyone where he stood with Rupert.

Those kinds of communications can gain you enemies very quickly--so that action did not come without potential problems for Burton.

I have to say though--with Andrew gone, anything related to swimming plus strength at the same time will be right in Butron's and Rupert's court--they will be very hard to beat.

Should they join up, I see a tough road for everyone else. Yet, the tie between Burton and Lil still seems to be there--the ones who were voted off. He gave his word that he would take her all the way--and at the time, I think he meant it. We shall see how that plays out.

Burton didn't give his word to Lil that he would take her all the way ... he promised her that he would never, never lie to her.

I agree Jake, he didn't promise to take her with him, only that he won't lie to her.

I think Burton ensured his pact with Rupert by giving him the immunity. It was a very wise move.

Don't they have some kind of a rule that you can't win (or have) immunity 2 weeks in a row? If so then who can't fight for immunity next week Burton or Rupert? And if it is Rupert who can't compete then could that have played a part in why Burton gave it to him this week? So that he can compete next week and Rupert can't then he stands a good chance at winning and having 2 weeks in a row where he is safe

You can win immunity as many times as you can manage to win it. That's what Colby did in S2. And Brian in S5. There is no limit.

Mrst...You are thinking BB... you can't win HOH two times in a row and are made to sit out the HOH challenge...

With Burton and Rupert competing for immunities, it should be interesting. I think Burton has an edge when it comes to stamina--he won last night because Rupert was clearly straining on that last swim.

Shorter competitions, it will probably be pretty equal for both of them.

However, there's still the mental challenges, and that gives everyone a good chance. LOL--can't help thinking of Rudy, who didn't try at all.
