Aus10 | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 05:17 am     Great one surreal.....but keep his hat when they take him....one never knows how useful a hat could be! Cut in half and bound with twine, it would make a nice pair of socks, since it's knit it might make a handy strainer, or with the right kind of configuring could make a handy pair of underwear.. These people have so few clothes left....I wouldn't be parting with any of em! |
Meridian | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 05:40 am     Rupert is an incredible character on the show. Certainly, he is an integral component to the success of Drake. His superb handling of the spear conflict indicates a great deal about his personality. Yes, he was angry about its loss, but he refrained from chewing holes in Shawn knowing a negative display could potentially damage his longevity with the tribe. A diplomatic stance and a call to constructive action served him better. By contributing positively both physically and in spirit, Rupert should go far. During the last two seasons of Survivor, I had a difficult time finding someone to cheer on; this season, it is difficult NOT to cheer for Rupert. Count me in as another devotee! |
Enigma2 | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 08:17 am     The problem with Rupert (Hagrid) is in that he is as special as he is. The rest of Drake pales by comparison. And unless he reveals some tragic flaw, he will be voted off the island. His team mates will realize that they do not have a chance against him. |
Rupertbear | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 11:33 am     Enigma!....*sniff*....*sniff*...you're going to ...make ...me ...cry |
Niceguy | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 11:34 am     Rupert is a cool fellow. He seems to really enjoy the nature of this game and anyone willing to get in the wild untamed waters as much as he has deserves props. It's going to be interesting to see who he's going to target first when Drake has to go to tribal council. |
Enigma2 | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 12:48 pm     Please, please, Rupertbeart, don't cry. I think that Rupert may last, at least, until the half-way point. He is too valuable to Drake –and too well liked– to be an immediate object for dismissal. But at some point, it is going to become clear that Rupert 'should' win, and that will not be tolerated. (It's interesting that Rupert seems to have –at the moment– the support of all of the women in Drake. They seem to be more drawn to him than to the younger, more attractive males.) (I wish that we could see more of the inter-relationships between the Drakettes than is shown on tv. Other than Jon being an annoying dolt; Crista complaining about being excluded from that first coconut juice drink; Burton and Shawn's initial 'bonding,' and Rupert's annoyance at Shawn for loosing the spear head, we have not been given any information about the relations between these folk. I want to know more...) |
Rupertbear | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 03:09 pm     Um, well...you have given me a little hope Enigma.If he became 'The Quiet Man' à la John Wayne...managed to become a friendly, helpful, nonthreatening appendage to the tribe, maybe he could sneak by under the radar....but wait, is that really his style? ;) Maybe if he does forge a strong bond with the women, therein could lie the road to success. They could vote the other 'eye candy' males off,keeping Rupert for all the RIGHT reasons, then come merge time, he would be in a good position, if they remained allied. |
Meridian | Tuesday, September 30, 2003 - 11:28 am     Too much air-time has been devoted to the misery of the Morganites. Like Enigma and others, I watch the show wondering about the group dynamics of the Drakettes. Unfortunately, the only way I forsee the situation changing is through a competition loss, after which MB will document Drake's first defeat. As Niceguy indicated, any decision made at Tribal Council will have intriguing repercussions. If Rupert is eliminated, legions of fans will be crushed. If Jeff extinguishes Jon's torch, viewers will cheer. We haven't been given enough information about several of the Drakettes, aside from their lengthy bios. I wonder how this week's episode will play out. |
Dogdoc | Tuesday, September 30, 2003 - 01:07 pm     Rupert is my favorite. I didn't think I would like him because in the promos he looked like those Sunday School pictures of Goliath about to kill David. Rupert is big, but not mean. |
Rupertbear | Tuesday, September 30, 2003 - 02:27 pm     I love your analogy Dogdoc....Goliath...that's so cool. Yes, Rupert has a temper but he knows how to 'temper' it with reason...so a gentle giant.The others must have thanked their lucky stars, when they saw he was on their tribe. It will be interesting to see how the 'eye candy' does, stamina-wise, out there. I wonder, as Osten has already shown, if they will be short on 'reserves' from which to draw. |
Enigma2 | Tuesday, September 30, 2003 - 03:15 pm     Trish –after Rupert– is my favorite Drakette. But both of my favortites had better start to become aware of the diabolical Michelle –who has achieved her objective of getting the least air-time of any of the Drakettes. During those brief glimpses, I have discovered her game strategy. She has given herself away by alternately wearing and not wearing eyeglasses. Her objective is to convice both her team-mates, and us, that she is really two people: the good, studious Michelle (who wears glasses) and the evil, devil-may-care Michelle (who does not wear glasses). Once Michelle has achieved her duality, she will be safe from eviction –'cause even is she is gone, she will still be there. (I really apologize for this posting, but it has been a dull day...) |
Happymom | Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 12:20 pm     LOL Enigma2! |
Demsome | Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 05:40 pm     Every week I love him more... he is winning every challenge!! |
Rupertbear | Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 05:59 pm     He is so awesome. Let's hope he lasts on the show. I will be desolate if he's voted off but he has made Survivor Pearl Islands memorable for me. |
Prisonerno6 | Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 06:03 pm     I don't see Drake voting Rupert off any time soon. Of course, considering how Morgan has been playing (neither the reward challenge nor the immunity challenge were even close), Drake won't be voting anyone off soon. |
Maris | Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 06:08 pm     I agree but if I were Rupert I would be thinking to the merge. He will be a huge target once the teams merge. He will need to win all the immunity challenges after the merge, something I am sure he will have no problem doing. |
Sweetpea1994 | Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 06:09 pm     He's da Man!!! |
Prisonerno6 | Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 06:14 pm     Actually, I think people may scramble to align themselves with Rupert after the merge... |
Prisonerno6 | Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 06:15 pm     Go Rupert, Go Rupert, Go Rupert! |
Azriel | Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 06:33 pm     YAHOO! Rupert, you rule!!! |
Webkitty | Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 06:52 pm     Sign me up  |
Allietex | Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 07:10 pm     I have never liked a suvivor as much as I like Rupert. I loved his attitude of "Man, we are pirates. Pirates pillage!" I think he has a better grasp of this game than even Richard Hatch and I think he was the best player up to now. Rupert is strong, devious, kind, and a team player, but best of all he is smart and looking out for number one. He has not lost sight of the fact that this is a game and he is out to win. And he is so comfortable in himself. Who among the many men we have seen so far on Suvivor, yes even the gay ones would have been comfortable wearing a skirt. He, he. If he does not win or at least make the last four, I am going to be very disappointed. I really think he will go far unless he self destructs by losing his temper at a critical moment. |
Hermione69 | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 03:42 am     He was pretty awesome in that IC last night! I think he is not only physically strong, but he has a lot of inner strength as well. |
Prisonerno6 | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 04:08 am     (Let's see how long this takes...) Give me an "R"! |
Pagal | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 04:11 am     Give me a "U"! |
