Does anyone there feel as if THE RUPERT SHOW is being cancelled? If all that I see and hear is true, then Rupert will be leaving the island tomorrow night. Now I say this with a very sad heart because I have really enjoyed watching him and I feel as if he has been the heart and sole of The Pearl Islands. I feel as if I must go through the let down and separation process I go through when any of my favorite shows end. So I want to thank all of you who have watched posted and enjoyed The Rupert Show.

THen after a respectful period of time for proper mourning, let us all pick ourselves up and go watch the new Survivor: Pearl Islands featuring Lillian and Jon!!!

I, too, will be heartbroken to see Rupert leave, if it is really his time to go. Thursday nights have been so good to me lately, with Rupert followed by Gil Grissom on CSI, it's like being torn between two lovers...hahaha. Seriously, I like brawny men, interesting men, intellectual men and between the two, it's heaven. I think my Scott will be glad when one or the other is gone from our Thursday night schedule...the puddles of drool were beginning to make the carpet feel slick all the time. Hahahah.

Where are you all hearing that Rupert is leaving? Is that from some spoiler thread?

I think Rupert might be safe. We haven't seen the "pelican" incident yet, although they might not want to televise that. I think that happens later on, closer to the finale. The tribe doesn't seem hungry enough yet to kill a pelican for food and Rupert is the one who helps Christa kill it. I think this might be Burton's week to go (again).

There are pelican rumors?? Honestly, I don't really care who goes!? Don't get me wrong I like Rupert but it's all good as long as JON doesn't win - :)

If & when Rupert goes won't effect my watching & being a tvch Survivor junkie. Rupert gone will take some of my enjoyment of the show & chats away though. Rupert gives the camera men alot to work with (So do Jon & Lil).

I agree Texas. This year's Survivor show is just fun to watch with or without Rupert.

I agree that it is fun to watch this years survivor, but I am thinking it will be very different without Rupert. Not bad, just different.

I am just going through the feelings I go through when BB is winding up and when Survivor is over. I have always thought it somewhat cathartic to say our TVCH goodby's when our favorite shows are over. I will re-group and enjoy The Pearl Islands -- but in the meantime I am feeling the loss.

Lauram, you don't have to say goodbye to TVCH just cause a show is over. There are so many other great areas of the board, and so many wonderful people on this board, that its worth it to stay year round. In fact, I've just discovered Starting Over because of the boards, something I would have never known existed if not for TVCH.

I am thinking there is a doublecross coming up and Rupert doesnt go....AGAIN! If the other contestants get smart and Rupert does Go this Tribal Council, I will be happy to see others getting more camera time. I swear some people rarely even are seen on the show let alone actually TALK.

Whoami: No way am I leaving TVCH!! I love this place and I love my reality TV too much. I just have always loved it when a show is winding down and we all do our cyber hugs to each other. So I just thought we could do that now to mourn The Rupert Show befor we start watching Survivor: Pearl Islands starring Lillian,

And I love survivor. I couldn't stop waatching.

[oh perhaps I shouldn't have started this thread because I didn't in any way mean to imply that I was going to jump ship]

I really like Rupert. I haven't felt this way about any Survivor since Ethan!

We call it The Rupert show too! LOL.
I hope this isn't the end.

Lauram: Here is a great big Cyber hug for the mourning of Rupert : ((((()))))

I to feel the same way.. I will always watch Suvivor..no matter how many times I get mad and say never again..lol

But for me this one has just been awesome, mainly because of Rupert.I had never posted before this Survivor. I was just a lurker in Big Brother ..The love for this season of Survivor drew me out of my cyber shell (course there might be some who wished I would just crawl back in it lol)

Hopefully all signs to Rupert being gone this week are wrong! I sure hope so! I agree if hes gone wont be the same but will still watch!

No....SURFGIRL....I am glad you are not a mere lurker anymore.....I am a new poster too!

You and I must think alike, because, other than once or twice during BB4, I have always lurked. Survivor, and this discussion board have been LOADS of fun to me this fall. I hope to continue contributing and not lurking. It has been hilarious, and so much fun chatting with people and exchanging theories, etc. Everyone here is so nice. (It seems that some of the hautier posters from BB4 are not on the Survivor board at TVCH this season)....

Anyway, I say...HELLO to a fellow "past lurker" and hope to see many more of us newbies!!!!

Surfgirl and Caycaye... we thank YOU both for joining us here on the Survivor boards. If you think this board is friendly, good people, just consider this.... you are part of our family here. You both contribute and make this board friendly and fun to participate in.

As for Rupert.... well, he has proven, what we as viewers have been saying all along. There can be good people, real people, interesting people on these reality shows. We don't need the Jun's and Allison's of this world.... give us the upbeat, the good hearted, the real game players... skip the Jenna's and Heidi's.

Rupert, and the rest of the Survivors this season are real, they might not have fake breasts, but they have heart... and they have stolen our hearts.

This season has been a delight to watch... and after each show I sit back and sip my coffee with a good feeling inside of me. I couldn't bear to watch BB4 at times.... and it left a nasty taste in my mouth. This season... well, look at us, gushing over Rupert, laughing at Jon, in awe of Christa holding all that weight... they deserve any fame they get, because they gave us a season filled with good fun. So far that is...rofl

I too will be very sad to see Rupert go.(if he does :( ) I've watched since Survivor 1..Rupert is the best. He seems like he is really enjoying his time on the island. He could probably survive on an island by himself. He is making this show watchable for me. I don't want to see a bunch of people sleeping all the time..He is the ultimate survivor..He fishes, swims,adapts to nature,and still has a huge grin on his face for the game. Rupert you will be missed..

Count me in....Rupert was made for this show and if the object of the game was to survive he would win hands down. This has been the best survivor yet although I'm still not happy about the twist of bringing back those who were already booted. I will probably lose many points this weeks but I just couldn't pick Rupert to go this week. Nope...just couldn't do it.

Count me among the Rupert lovers.
This is one week I hope every spoiler is sooo wrong.

If Rupert goes tonight I would be sad but I would also applaud the coup d'état. Rupert has the brawn, work ethic, and stamina to survive the elements but in order to win this game…that may not be enough.

I have a feeling he might have enough devious intellect to manipulate enough people so that he doesn’t leave tonight. If he does the manipulation this episode and continues to win immunity…we all may have a pleasant outcome this season, compared to last.

If he fails to shore up enough votes to keep him in the game then his inability to manipulate will nullify all of his physical strengths. I’m thinking that this pack of pirates won’t let Rupert walk away with a win without a hard fought mental game.

I love this season!

The more Rupert's hubris and egomania is displayed, the more I hope that he makes the walk tonight! He is not a great game player - what Richard and Brian did with subtlety and finesse, Rupert does in a ham fisted and tactless way. Rupert uses manipulation, intimidation and humiliation to rule "his" tribe (for someone who supposedly values the tribe as a group, he sure uses those singular possessives a lot). Oh, how I hope his torch is snuffed tonight! I will not mourn in the least!

I must be watching a different show. All I have seen is someone who has worked hard from day one to feed and clothes his tribe, while being poked fun at by adolescent humor. The one time he got angry, he apologized and explained himself.
With all that said, I will still watch if he isn't on...if only to see them starve! LOL

Caycaye

I soooo agree with you Texannie...thanks for articulating so well...

and Lorry...I ALWAYS seem to agree with you , and I want to thank you for my "welcome" feeling here....I always love to read your opinions...

Bye bye Rupert...you WILL be missed...for all the reasons Lorry previously stated!

Richard Hatch won with subtlety & finesse, ha, what a hyperbole! How about unabashed conceit! I'll give you finesse, but subtlety? About like Will on Big Brother! lol! I think that Rupert's saying "my" team like one would say "my" family. IMO
