Survivor
Rupert survives 1st week on show

By Dawn Fable

Not many who voted in a poll on CBS.com expected the quick exit of massage therapist Nicole Delma on the premiere episode.

Fans who visited CBS' "Survivor" Web site thought Rupert Boneham was most likely to snuff his torch first, but the 39-year-old Indianapolis resident remains on the Pearl Islands.

Will Rupert make it through tonight's episode (8, WISH )? On IndyStar.com, Ryan Shoulders of Clarksville, Tenn., got the biggest thumbs down. Here's the vote:

1. Ryan Shoulders -- 33%

2. Lillian Morris -- 19%

3. Ryan Opray -- 9%

4. Rupert Boneham -- 8%

5. Tijuana Bradley -- 6.99%

6. Jon Dalton -- 6.3%

7. Trish Dunn -- 6%

8. Shawn Cohen -- 4%

9. Osten Taylor -- 3%

10. Sandra Diaz-Twine, Christa Hastie, Michelle Tesauro, Andrew Savage -- 1.4%

A tidbit about our skirt-wearin' pirate: A few people posting on Indiana polisMusic.net say Rupert used to be a bartender at the Alley Cat Lounge in Broad Ripple. If one of the show challenges is chugging Jagermeister -- watch out, Tribe Morgan!

Add me to the list of Rupert fans. My 4 y.o. son loves him too. Tonight he kept asking "Is Hagrid winning?" during the challenges! I had to explain that it wasn't really Hagrid.

Rupert has such a great attitude about everything. I cheered right along with him when he found the piece of the spear that the other guy lost.

He is such a breath of fresh air after some of the people on the last few Survivors that I have watched. I hope he goes all the way!!!!

Rupert is the best. I think he is so great. I want him to win all the money. I saw someone named Rupertbear and mistakenly thought all Rupert's fans had dubbed themseveles Rupertbears. lol. I am officially a Rupertbear!

Yeah, Ruppie, the seahunt hero. Unbelievable work in finding that spear that we all saw what-his-face draggin' along the ocean floor. I hope he watches his back: those other alpha males will come gunning for him sooner or later. (Later, I hope). GO (and, by 'go', I mean STAY) Rupert!

I totally agree! He is my favorite. I think it's so amusing that he works with troubled teens. That experience will definitely come in handy on Survivor.
I also loved his comment about raiding Morgan-"We don't have to hurt them".
Also to Sean about the lost spearhead-"Just let me be mad".
And his enthusiasm for being there! Paradise!
He is so refreshing!

Rupert is so real and handles himself so well. He's been my favorite from the start. He's got such a great attitude and is such a refreshing change from the macho men and the starlet girls.
Plus, he reminds me of my DH except his hair and beard are longer but the attitudes are so much alike.

I liked it when he said "we don't have to hurt the other tribe" when they were talking about getting to pilfer one of Morgan's items. I think when he stole Morgan shoes in the first episode he left them the serviceable ones.

I also liked how, when he found the missing spearhead, his confessional was all about how "when we found the spear..." Sounds like he is very team oriented.

Kellannie1 my 7 year old grandson calls Rupert "Hagrid" too. He can hardly wait until Thursday's for Survivor.

I think Rupert is the best contestant that been on Survivor. He seems very team-spirited and fair. His remark "We don't have to hurt them" is a classic.

He does work with trouble kids, so maybe he is using his skills on the tribe that he uses with the kids, I hope he wins, and he does look like Hagrid.

Rupert is strong, intelligent and compassionate. I too loved his comment about not hurting the other tribe. Shows he is thinking of the future when they will merge and have to deal with the Morgan members.

I lost a lot of respect for the guy last night when he got extremely upset about loosing the spear head. It was an accident, accidents do happen, it is all in the way you handle them that matters. He seemed to get way too upset at the guy that lost it.

Also his comment about not hurting the other tribe, I noticed he didn't think about this the first day when he was raiding their life raft.

I still like the guy but I don't think he is really as good as people are giving him credit for.

Jagger, at the time when he was stealing their stuff, I am sure he had no inkling at how pathetic they were going to be at getting supplies.

Yay, Rupert!

Rupert had every right to be upset because he understands, as the others apparently do not, that spearhead=fish=food=protien=strength=win challenges. He was mad at the situation, not the dummy, and he said that he knew it wasn't his fault. Plus he was the only one who went and looked for the spearhead, instead of sitting around saying, "Bummer. What are we going to eat now?"

IMHO he deserves more credit than he is actually getting.

Love love LOVE me some Rupert! If he gets voted out I will stop watching.

Rupert was right to get mad about the spear. One reason his team isn't at each other's throats like Morgan seems to be is they are still relatively comfortable. They have an excellent food source with that spear, and if it's gone, things will get ugly fast.

But even at that, after Rupert found the missing part, he made sure Burton wasn't too upset about how upset Rupert got. As someone else said, he didn't just sit around and wring his hands over it, he got up and did something about it.

You know, if Morgan even wins an immunity challenge and gets to raid Drake's camp, they'd be smart to make Rupert the one thing they take. That team needs a natural leader, not the chosen one they now have.

Why was my post deleted? I just questioned Rupert's use of the phrase "my spear" rather than "our spear"

Is that a crime?
