Auntie | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 04:29 pm     i am wild about this guy. he reminds me of an artist i know - sto - who does artwork for d&d and other playing cards. a big teddy bear. of course sto is bald, but oh well.. |
Lilfair | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 10:04 am     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? |
Norski | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 06:20 am     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. |
Crazydog | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 08:48 am     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. |
Kaili | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 10:17 am     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. |
Texasdeb | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 03:57 pm     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. |
Texasdeb | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 05:40 pm     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! |
Beachcomber88 | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 12:40 am     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. |
Texannie | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 05:50 am     Yep, Ogre. (love that movie!!!) |
Chance | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 07:04 pm     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. |
Monkeyboy | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 09:06 pm     He scares me. |
Grooch | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 09:17 pm     RUPERT RULES!!!!!
 |
Pannie | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 10:20 pm     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! |
Not1worry | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 07:40 am     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. |
Crazydog | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 09:03 am     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. |
Denecee | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 10:51 am     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 | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 11:46 pm     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. |
Grooch | Saturday, September 27, 2003 - 06:18 am     Agreed, Kaili! |
Prisonerno6 | Saturday, September 27, 2003 - 07:35 am     Rupert even has a pirate name. "Aye, Cap'n Boneham!" |
Crazydog | Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 01:58 pm     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. |
Prisonerno6 | Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 05:42 pm     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. |
Hermione69 | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 04:05 am     I agree, no one else could have. He was amazing! |
March | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 07:52 am     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!! |
Lumbele | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 02:26 pm     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? |
Texasdeb | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 06:15 pm     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). |
