This is straight from the CBS site.

When one tribe wins the first Reward Challenge, they learn of a new twist: one member may visit the losing tribe's island to pillage and loot one item from their supplies!

A tribe is stunned when one Survivor confesses a desire to quit the game.

Rupert, Morgan tribe's "Blackbeard," goes into a rage after learning that a tribemate has lost something crucial to Morgan's survival, but is determined to recover it at all costs.

It's a desperate battle of mind and body for Immunitiy, where every last second will decide the winner in a photo finish you must see to believe


I think this pilliaging thing will be cool but it sounds like the IC is going to be a real nail biter.

LOL Your right Pamy. I totally didn't catch that when I pasted it. What were they thinking?

They said it in another promo also and someone caught it, I wonder how long it will take for CBS to catch their error....or maybe in a twist Rupert ends up on Morgan and they have let the cat outta the bag!

Golly gosh: maybe Morgan wins the reward challenge and they capture Rupert as their "one supply". From their missteps last nite, sounds like a Morgan-type possibility to me <<>>

p.s. Thanks for bringing us the news item, Okie.

It might be that someone was meaning to say that Rupert was Morgan tribes blackbeard - meaning that not that he was on Morgan tribe - but that since he stole from Morgan - he was like blackbeard to them since he pirated their belongings?

Great thinking Talon! I sure hope that is how it goes. I love Rupert already.

Maybe the item "lost" that Rupert is so upset about is actually the item that the other team looted after winning the reward. Maybe they only tell the winning team about the looting just to cause conflict on the other team.

I was thinking along those line also. I think Morgan wins the RC. I still can't figure out why CBS hasn't corrected the promo, leads me to believe Talon may be on to something!

I'm new here (this is my first post) so please forgive me if maybe i shouldn't say this but I had a though... whatever is lost Rupert feels is crucial to the team's survival, and is determined to recover it at all costs. I was thinking that since it was Rupert who was fishing with the spear thing maybe someone else was fishing and lost it and he goes looking for it

What was he saying in the preview commercial for next week's show? He had ahold of part of his spear and was losing his temper saying something like, "That's why I didn't want anyone else to use it."
Maybe the spear gets broken or lost?
Also, I wondered what happened about the stolen shoes. It appeared to me that the Morgan team all had shoes for the immunity challenge. Did they?
If the Drake team had shown up wearing some of their shoes for immunity, I think the Morgans would have reacted, and I didn't see anything happen.
AND, very glad Nichole is outathere!

Hi,
This is my first post, but I love this site.
In answer to Mrst, the teams were wearing their sports shores during the challenge. The ones that Jeff gave them on the boat. If you watch the rerun tonight, Rupert stole their dress shoes that they took off. I noticed he did leave the one pair of jogging shoes that someone had left in the raft. Guess he didn't want to be too mean!

I have a feeling Rupert left those athletic shoes alone cause he wasn't allowed to take them. Usually Nike (or some other big athletic shoe company) provides the shoes the Survivors wear as a sponsorship thing. IIRC, Rupert picked them up, then tossed them aside.

I think Rupert left the tennis sneaks/sneakers behind since he didn't know if they were someone's "good footwear" or if they were what someone had been wearing when they jumped off the ship.

He only took the dress shoes knowing that the girls and guys would be wearing their sneakers instead.

I don't think it had anything to do with sponsership.
But perhaps you're right Who, maybe it did have to do with that since I do think Nike gives the Survivors shoes..

duckIt seems I am in the minority, but when I first saw Rupert "liberating" the other team's shoes, I wasn't impressed. IMHO poor sportsmanship can't be justified by the "pirate spirit of the game".dis2 After learning from other posters that he only took the 'useless' footwear I softened a touch - but just a touch.hm2

Hi All,
This is my first post too!! I am loving Rupert's little pirating ways...his quick thinking gave his team an advantage and I too liked him even more for leaving the sneakers behind, shows he has some kind of heart..I thought it was hilarious last week when the one guy(sorry don't remember his name)caught one measly fish and then they cut to Rupert puliing 4, 5, 6 out of the water....can't wait to see what all the drama is going to be about next week. The opening episode kept me on the edge of my seat which is exciting
for a change(after this year's BB).....

In seeing the premiere episode for a second time (tonight's showing) I noticed that Rupert didn't even hesitate for a second when he dropped the tennis shoes into the Morgans' rubber raft. He picked up all the sandals and dressy shoes and took the sneaks last, then quickly dropped them. Unless that take was re-shot, it doesn't appear that Rupert even considered keeping the serviceable shoes for a split second. I like Rupert!

I was thinking...I just read Nichole's chat transcript and maybe they refer to Rupert as "Morgan's Blackbeard" because it's the Morgan team that gave him that name? The transcript says "When you first saw "blacbeard"..." It might mean nothing more than that the Morgan tribe calls him that.
