Pascalle.....All you say is true...but where I disagree with you AND obviously Trish...is the TIMING!!! I mean, I love Rupert like everyone else, but being OBJECTIVE, you are right, of course, no one can beat Rupert in the end. But....and this is a BIG but.....Rupert had a strong, loyal alliance with the women (Trish included)....Why, oh why did Trish have to make that move now???? She should have waited until the merge at least...because she and Rupert would not have been going anywhere soon, and she could have gotten rid of Shawn and possibly Jon first, without alienating herself from the original alliance. Andrew looks RIPE to align with Rupert at the merge....even MORE reason for Trish to have waited. She could have skirted by on Rupert's chivalry and alliance, and then, nearer the end...EVERYONE would have come to the same agreement that Rupert had to go...but by sticking her neck out NOW...Trish is gone....In my opinion Trish was just plain IMPATIENT and/or GREEDY! (Ooops...sorry...Trish..you lose!)

I already knew the outcome (thank to the spoilers for tonights show) by the time Jon did his little poem while voting. I thought, "yea, the Million Dollar Man may always get his way. He just ain't who you think it is!"

I did mention in my comments that Trish played her hand too soon. That is obvious. However, it always amazes me that everyone lets the really strong payers stay until it's almost too late. Just watch, Andrew and Rupert will be in the final four. These people are cluless. The same thing happens on Big Brother every year as well.

Can anyone give a logical reason for Trish's actions tonight? I understand the idea that she thinks no one can beat Rupert in a physical challenge, but as Csnog points out they are not all physical. And there is no garantee that there will even be a merge anytime soon. The tribe needs Rupert until it happens.

And why was it Trish that thought something needed to be done? Heck, did she think she could beat anyone on her tribe with the possible exception of Jon. EVERYONE else is stronger than her. It seems she proved by her actions tonight that she is also not the brightest bulb in the lamp also.

Here she was, in a stong alliance, and flying under the radar at least for tonight. If she had just stayed quiet, Shawn would have gone home and she would still be there. I just don't get it.

This tribe has made some really dumb mistakes. First throwing the challenge, just to get rid of someone that annoys them. They couldn't stand someone for a few weeks for the chance of a million dollars? How many times have we seen that happen in reality shows. Dumb!

Tonight their stategy of spreading out the weight was stupid. They should piled it all on one person until that person folded, then piled it on the second person until they were gone. Christa might have outlasted Ryan if Andrew had gone out sooner. That is what Morgan did and it worked. I was sitting here yelling NQ, but I guess they just could not hear me all the way to Panama and several months ago. Too bad!

Hmm no one mentioned Shawn peeing down his leg right before his dropped his weights. I had to back it up to make sure I was seeing it right. Yup, he peed.

Trish was right in her assumption that nobody can beat Rupert in the final vote. She just should have kept her assumptions to herself until after the merge. By then it should occur to everyone that Rupert is not one you want in the final two because he is too popular and everyone would vote him the money. This will not occur to anyone until it is too late, it's the same every year. That's why that yuppie Ethan won in Africa.

You may be right Pascalle....but I cannot see them allowing Rupert to go much farther after the merge. He probably should win, based on all of his contributions and playing, but he probably won't.

Thanks so much to the spoiler people. Wonderful job. You really make the show even better then it is. Thanks again.

Allietex: I agree with your entire post. I just couldn't believe Trish would have been so quick to vote out Rupert. I could see it happening after he merge, but what was she thinking doing it now?

Damn.... Jon is about to feel the wrath of Blackbeard...lol Geeze I'm almost afraid to see it... hehe

As always, so far, Rupert comes out smelling like a rose... hehe He's playing a good game but he has to be careful. I hope he can stick around until the merge... then hold on to the immunity idol until the end... ahhhh what a dreamer I am..lol

SeaMonkey needs to tell us all how to do that "Rupert Dance"...lol We wanna dance too!

Oh I agree, Rupert deserves to win. He is the best. If he does win it will serve those Morgans(we have spears but don't know how to use them) right. It just amazes me that nobody can see the forest for the trees. I go through this every year. Ignore me.

Oh what a show it was ... I think this is the first time MB actually came out and told us who won IC in advance. There really was no misdirection in "Can Rubert survive an act of Betrayal". The only shock was the betrayer, while most of us felt it was Shawn or Jon, MB threw the old curve ball and it was Trish one of Ruberts Gals.
All week I went back and forth w/ would MB really let us know that Drake lost immunity and Rubert was in trouble or not. I guess I got my answer. And if you think about it, it really was the ultimate act of betrayal because it was Trish, one of Rups alliance members not the 2 we thought it would be.
My question now is: Do we have a whole tribe of returnees or just one? If there is a "ghost tribe", of 5 people making 3 teams of 5, will 2 people each episode be planked and who votes?
Will we not have the traditional merge at all?
The possibilities of what will happen are endless and trust me I've sat up and thought of every kind of scenario possible and some that are totally improbable <laughing at myself>. Someone help me out, please oh please give me 2 or 3 probable theories so I can throw out the other 500 I've conjured up!
