OK I'm in a silly mood tonight...

While Rupert becomes a guest at Chez' a la Morgan. Here are some questions to ponder.

1. Will he finally open up Morgan Tribe's eyes to just how bad a leader Andrew has become?

2. Will he point out the laziness of Darrah? or the laziness of everyone else while he's at it?

3. Will he make Osten become ashamed for the way he has acted and tell him to SUCK IT UP?


Stay tuned for the next episode of Gilligan's Island...err umm Survivor

Starring

Andrew as the Skipper
Ryan O as Gilligan
Darrah as Ginger and Mary Ann (just like those Olsen twins)
Tijuana as Mrs Howell
Osten as Mr. Howell

With Rupert guest starring as The Professor
:)

I just hope he teaches them to fish! They are so pathetic in their lack of skill it is hard to watch them! At least they were smart enough to take Rupert. I couldn't help thinking, if the situation were reversed, who would Drake have taken? They would only have gotten a house guest out of it. Or maybe MB had planned this as a way to keep Morgan from starving to death.

I wonder if the tribes realize that if Drake had not thrown that challenge - that Morgan would have been down to 3 players - at least through the next reward challenge. Had Drake won they would have been able to choose a Morganite (hmm who would they choose - imo - there is no-one worth having) and Morgan would have had to evict another player. That would have been interesting.

I signed up for the extra clips thing on Yahoo. There is a short clip of Rupert's arrival at the Morgan campsite. He says "Oooo, I love your shelter." They all beamed with pride. I THINK he was being inwardly sarcastic (like when you tell someone you LOVE their outfit and are really thinking 'why on earth would you ever let yourself be seen in that thing') but I can't be sure.

We also see him demonstrating the use of the magic stick the Morganites have had but did not know the magic spell for. Yes, he shows them how to use (insert dramatic music here) THE SPEAR.

My personal flashback from the scene of him standing there showing them the spear as they stood around him in a circle, eyes bright with new found knowledge, heads bobbing in sudden awareness, was from an old Star Trek episode where Kirk is giving a primitive tribe guns to even them up in firepower with another tribe who has been given technological advances by the Klingons. They all had that same "magic stick go boom" look on their faces.

My sweetie Scott said he was more reminded of one of the scenes at the beginning of 2001 where the apes approach bobbing up and down and grunting and finally TOUCH the monolith.

Either way, it's was fun to watch Rupert shine, big grin on his wooly face. I am SO loving this season of survivor....it scares me a little that I'm going to be devastated at some point by the unmentionable happening...(I won't say anything about you know who getting you know what off the island because of the Beetlejuice rule.)

I hope Rupert –at Morganland– confines his eye-opening skills to basics of physical survival. I am recalling Trish's camera-monologue in which she hopes that Rupert will not inadvertantly tell the Morganites too much about the Drakettes. Rupert is only a 2–3 day 'house-guest.' Hopefully, he will not –unintentionally– give away information which can later be used against him (and the Drakettes).

Tasia (almost forgot): enjoyed your Gilligan 'tribe.' And regarding being silly: there was a full moon on the 10th.

Ok, we know by the clips and pictures that Rupert shows them how to fish, but the big question is will they retain this information when he leaves or will they just go back to laying around complaining about having no fish?

I'm addicted to BCandScott's wonderful point of view... very very clever!

March: I really think that once they realize what they can do about providing food, they will remember indeed. If not the men of Morgan, I'm positive the ladies of Morgan will remember, and maybe take over the leadership. Remember, Rupert has the lady Drakes at his beck and call for the time being.

Tasia: I love the Gilligan's Island analogy. However, I see Ryan O as the befuddled, ineffective Professor, while Osten is the bumbling Gilligan (always trying to prove himself and failing miserably) and Andrew is Mr. Howell, the (I am rich so everyone must treat me special).

Tijuana is Maryann, secretly in love with the Professor, who is really lusting after Darrah (Ginger), who is so centered on herself she doesn't have time to help around the island.

Mrs. Howell got booted because Mr. Howell wanted Lil out of the way so he didn't have to share the treasure with her, should she seek a divorce and Jerry Springer's attorney should decide to represent her. hahahaha

OK... enough being silly for me... for a little while anyway.

I don't think Rupert will give too much away to the Morgan tribe. Rupert seems to be the one who understands a certain amount of loyalty (remember his comment about "in real pirate society, he would be dead now" when talking about Burton's plan to throw the immunity challenge), AND he manages to listen to people like Burton without agreeing or disagreeing completely. He's playing pretty shrewdly, I think. I liked the comment about how he was in the boat hugging Michelle and Christa saying "I don't want to go!" but he went anyway and he was pleased to get to know the people on the other tribe first AND to miss Tribal council.

Andrew was pretty smug about how Rupert was strong for sure, but he probably didn't know much about playing the game and he was hoping to get the skinny on the other tribe. Oh ANDREW, you are so silly. Rupert played a survivor type game in his home town of Indianapolis, IN and came in 2nd place.....he KNOWS how to play the game.

My Scott tells me the people where he works are convinced that Osten is a mole, throwing things to make stuff rougher on the Morganites. I would buy that if not for Andrew because I think his "leadership" is almost as devastating.

BCandScott, no exaggeration, your explanation of Rupert teaching Morgan about the "magic stick" literally had me laughing out loud. The tears are still rolling down my face. The dog is trying to comfort me, thinking I'm in pain. Good thing I had already finished my cup of tea, otherwise it would have been spewed all over the computer.

But given Morgan's track record, Rupert will be wasting his energy trying to teach them anything. If you recall Survivor Thailand, one of the rewards was having Thai Red Berets spend 24 hours with the tribe, teaching them survival skills. So what happened? Everyone was caught up in the Ted/Ghandia fiasco. What a waste!
