On paper he looks like a keeper, in the 1st episode he looks like a keeper...but the previews for the next show made him look like he lost his cool. To me it looked like he broke the spear over his knee and is having a meltdown?

I was thinking that someone else may have broken the spear which then set off Ru since that was the tool he was using to contribute to the tribe.

I think this guy has anger management issues. He tries to be funny but I think deep down, he is seething at some of the members of his tribe. And yes, I think it looks like Shawn or Burton go fishing and I think the spear breaks. Rupert says something like "that's why I was supposed to be the only one who did it" and then loses it.

I don't think his "losing it" is really going to amount to a whole lot. It's all to get people to tune in.

He's my fav. so far (at least on the Drake team). I just hope the other 3 men on his tribe don't conspire against him since he seems to fit in with the women well & he seems one of the overall best contributers on this team.

Besides all that: he went to Cisco Jr. college (that's in Abilene - where I live) & San Angelo State U. (that's where I went). This guy has good structure too!

Everytime I look at this guy, I can't stop thinking about the big hairy guy from Revenge of the Nerds. I can't really remember his name - Ogre? He was the one that was in a drinking contest with one of the nerds and then had to pedal a tricycle or something.

Seriously, man, shave that thing off. Doesn't it get hot? Or itchy? He'd be a lot less scary looking if he didn't have all that hair.

Yep, Ogre. (love that movie!!!)

I am officially " in like" with Rupert. WHAT A MAN.I loved tonight when he found the spearhead !!! And I loved when he corrected the guy who said (pp) take the tarp..that will really hurt them." Rupert said,"we don't need to hurt them.What a guy...I want him to win, big time.

Chance, that was GREAT when Rupert said,"we don't need to hurt them" with the raid. Sandra should've paid attention to that advice for her own longevity.

He has a kind heart and I hope CBS continues to show his gentle-bear side. His alpha-mates probably don't like his "It's MY spear" attitude though. Watch your back, Bear!

That is probably my only complaint about Rupert is the possessive attitude on the spear. It's the tribe's spear. You can tell the camera that it's your's and you want to be the only one to use it. But to tell the tribe that isn't going to win any points. It was resolved and everyone seemed okay with it. But I was trying to tap him on the shoulder through the TV and tell him to hush up.

I hope he lasts a long time, but none of my favorites ever do.

I didn't like his "MY spear" attitude either. He does have a very possessive attitude about it because he wants to be the only one to catch fish. I always dislike the macho man that tries to show everyone that he is the provider. It brought back shades of Rich Hatch and crazy Mike Skupin going on about how he needs to kill a pig.

If I was on Drake tribe, I would be ok with Rupert claiming the spear as long as I had fish every night!, but he does need to be careful not to offend too many of the fellow male tribe members.

Kaili

He did warn them about the spear head coming loose and to be careful with it. I'd be upset too if taht happened and that was the primary food source.

Rupert even has a pirate name. :)

Even if he told them to tighten the spearhead, I thought Shawn said that he did. It seemed like an accident that could have happened to anyone. I think Rupert overreacted. I hope I don't get too annoyed with him tonight.

Go Rupert, go Rupert, go Rupert!

I don't think anyone on Drake could have held on like he did at the end of that immunity challenge.

I agree, no one else could have. He was amazing!

How could someone not love Rupert, especially after last night. Drake would be crazy to get rid of him anytime before the merger.
Even after the merger they would be smart to align with Rupert as he could take someone far in the game.
I am cheering for Rupert to win the whole thing, he is Da, Man!!

His present position of power in the tribe is what will make him vulnerable upon merging. Who would want to repeatedly compete for immunity against such a physically and mentally strong opponent?

IMO...Jon will go 1st from Drake. Rupert has really only crossed with Shawn & it was resolved without much issue. I actually think Shawn has gained much respect for Rupert. Rupert handles difficult people in his work life. I believe Rupert realizes Shawn's strength is still needed so he handled the situation & let it go. Rupert is the leader of Drake by his actions & not by a vote. Rupert doesn't lead by "do as I say" he leads unspoken by "do as I do". They all gotta luv him (just like I do).
