For Thurs Oct 30 the TV Guide chart says, "A seventh person is voted off the islands."

For Thurs Nov 6th the TV Guide chart says, "One tribe hosts a wedding."

Next week's TV Guide article by Matt Roush (p. 17 in my issue) is "Why we love Survivor's Rupert", the article says....
He's Bluto with team spirit. Hagrid in a skirt. A Blackbeard who truly believes he's the Blackbeard. With a little caaveman thrown in for good measure. If cavemen could sew. Has there ever been a survivor more born to the game than Rupert Boneham, the powerfully charismatic troubled-teens mentor from Indianapolis? "This is definitely a pirate adventure," the burly Rupert announced with glee in the first episode of Survivor: Pearl Islands as he ransacked his rival team's raft. The larger-than-life caretaker of the Drake tribe, Rupert unleashes an earthshaking roar at moments of triumph: winning challenges through brute strength, finding a spear tip lost by a careless tribe mate, catching bushels of fish for his hungry team. A good-natured symbol of Darwinism at its most primal, Rupert is clearly the people's choice. When the Morgan tribe of chronic losers got to pick someone from Drake to live among them temporarily, of course they chose Rupert. What Robinson Crusoe wouldn't want this guy as his all-purpose Friday?

Starshine40:Yes, got my TV Guide yesterday. But the Nov. 6th chart is fascinating.

My guess: Rupert and Darrah. She is a mortician and Rupert has worked as a grave-digger. This will be the basis for a mutual attraction which they cannot resist. The wedding will be on tape, because it will have actually happened on Friday (Holloween).

I think Rupert is married IRL.

Speculation is that one tribe hosts a Panamanian wedding..

Seamonkey: I had thought that my 'guess' was so ridiculous that it would be only accepted as a joke.

Your 'speculation' is more 'real.' And if I recall correctly from past Survivors, this is about the time when the show takes an oportunity to explain local cultures and customs.

There was also speculation that Christa's boyfriend came and they got married.. but also doubtful.

Rupert is definately married and has a young daughter. They are on in his audition tape. The daugher is shown and you hear his wifes voice, she is holding the camera.
