Maybe its just me but Burton reminded me of JFK Jr. - Very handsome - :)

Yes he is extremely handsome Missy but I didn't really care for his attitude, which in my books tends to detract from the physical aspect.

Agreed. I hate that sense of entitlement that comes with so many attractive people in their 20s who are picked for these shows. It's like he and Shawn are still in high school. They still think they can charm their way into anything, and that ganging up on geeks still works.

Who was Burton, again? Oh, yeah, Shawn's former friend. With friends like that....

Did anyone catch Burton on the Early show this morning? He knew he possibly could go last night.

He gave Jon a thumbs up on playing the game. Even though Jon irritated most their he was playing a good game.

Also said that Rupert would go off by himself for hours and hours fishing. That in my books doesn't bode well for Rupert. We've seen in past Survivors if you alienate yourself like that its like putting a big X on your back. I sure hope not.

Ah, yes, Burton. He was the one on that first show that cut open the coconut and only shared with Shawn and Michelle.

Revenge comes late when you don't offer someone a drink...

Burton on the Early Show...

Burton

He really is handsome but he deserved to get booted because of his arrogance and treacherous ways.

You're right Maryk. I think he behaved that way because he is a fan of the O'Reilley show.

LOL all the survivor people always look so much plumper when interviewed after Survivor finishes. I bet they just eat and eat and eat after being voted out.

I love his reaction to Rupert's line about high school. It shows that Rupert was right. Burton still has a high school mentality. 'We were only having fun' It doesn't matter that someone's feelings were getting hurt, as long as Burton and his buddies were having fun and amusing themselves. Geesh!

I think it says a lot that he characterizes Rupert as a loner. Burton was so wrapped up in his little in crowd that he didn't even see the relationships that were forming outside his little club. Rupert clearly has a strong connection with the women of the tribe. (sans Michelle)

I loved it when Rupert was out on the beach talking to Trish about Burton wanting to throw the challenge and he sarcastically said, 'I told him as long as it's one of the girls. It is the boys against the girls, right?' ~snicker~

Burton just doesn't want to admit that he was outwitted and outplayed by Rupert.

<<Burton just doesn't want to admit that he was outwitted and outplayed by Rupert.>>

LMAO!...you are soooo right there, Azriel. Rupert has the brains, the brawn and the inner & outer beauty that 'pretty boy' Burton lacked.

Burton reminded me of a bargain knock-off of Hardy. (I need to get my mind off BB).

Lol, I was a BIG Hardy fan Woodpecker, so I can really appreciate your comment! :)

While Burton was not one of my favorites, I was sorry to see him go. He –very much like Nicole– said the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time. The Drakettes may have made their first mistake in ousting a team-mate who had good physical abilities for the competitions. (They could have waited a while...)

Appears as if Burton was 'hoist by his own petard'.....

Enigma... I think Rupert orchestrated Burton's walking the plank...hehe Rupert is playing the game... get rid of the other muscle... I think.. I hope.... ohhhhh gosh how I adore that mountain man....lol

I find it fascinating that Rupert –in essence– voted Burton out of Drakeland....and he wasn't even there.

Burton was a nice guy. He seemed really cool, but he is a sore loser. Read his "final words" transcript and you'll see how he continuously made himself out to be some demi-god that the rest of the Drakes refused to worship!

I think that Rupert is wound tighter than a coiled snake. He doesn't appear to be having any fun. Some of his comments with his one on one time with the camera guy is rude, mean, and a little threating. He needs to relax.

He still reminds me of JFK Jr. :) I'm happy he is back. He is wonderful eye candy

My respect for Burton went up significantly last night when I saw the look on his face as Rupert explained the reason he was voted out. I heard sincerity in Burton's voice as he apologized to Rupert, which is something Shawn never thought to do. I really believe that Burton didn't realize the pain he was causing Rupert and is truly sorry he did.

I LOVED the whole discussion... Everyone makes mistakes, and it is how they act after they realize their errors that shows their true character. Burton showed his last night...GO BURTON...GO RUPERT...

*BTW... I also agree with Missy...very nice eye-candy....

I didn't think Rupert voted for Burton -- wasn't he at Morgan at the time?

Your right Jkm...Rupert was at Morgan, but he actively lobbied for Burton's being voted off and Rupert openly took responsibility for that.

Rupert could have lied and said to Burton, "hey man, I was at Morgan, I didn't vote you out."... But Rupert was honest and told Burton that he was responsible and urged the others to vote him off. That to me, show's Rupert's character as well.
