I just can't believe he did a grid search pattern for the spear head in the HUGE cove!!
He must have been very tired afterwards..

OMG my admiration for Rupert is growing with every show. I think I can say without a doubt that he is my ALL TIME favorite Survivor. I really hope he wins this thing. When he interjected last night during the looting conversation and said that they really didn't need to hurt Morgan my heart melted. And he could have snapped Burton like a twig over losing the spear but he handled it wonderfully. I think I am in love! :D

Warming up to ole Rupert with every episode. His "we don't need to hurt them" comment impressed me too and he handled his justifiable anger at the loss of the spear rather well. Get it off your chest and then move on.
However, just like KL I am bothered by his seeming conviction that he is the only one entitled to go out with that spear, very territorial considering he is part of a team.

The think I really like about Rupert, is he is the first person I've ever seen on survivor who really loves the place there in and shows respect to it. Most people you see just sit on the beach waiting for nothing to happen or so it seems. not fish. don't hunt. dont do anything, but complain about it forsure.

When my man last night gave his spear to that that stupied guy I just knew he was going to lose the spear head. I was so upset about that because he didn't even help look for it. just a OOPS sorry, and gives a vague asnwer like "it's over there some place!!!" I hate people like that who get into another mans business and try to help you and end up screwing up everything for you. It's like your building a house out of cards and some fool comes up and says ohh let me help you, see your missing this and then OOOPS. sorry. A$$ holes.

God I would have not kept my cool with him.

Then when he found the Spear Head again I could not help but cheer him on. This guy is great, I didn't think he was ever going to find his Hook, I was even starting to think that that other guy just lost it on purpose as a strategy move on his part.

Lumbele, I liked that part about not hurting the other team. But why did that girl just not say to the other team. look I am not here to hurt you guys, just give me a water bucket and I'll be gone, other wise I am taking the tarp. It's up to you guys, you have 2 mins to make your minds up. Thats what I would have done, just sit down and wait for them to come up with what we want.

I think the reason that Rupert wants control of the spear is because he has a bit of ocd or something.

Remember, the spear is broken and the head will keep coming off, if you don't continually tighten it back up.

He told the cameras that the worrying about someone losing the head was driving him completely crazy and it wasn't worth it. He would rather chance them getting pissed at him about not sharing it.

And what happens? The first time someone else uses it, they lose the head and doesn't even remember the area he was in at the time.

Rupert was completely obsessed with finding the head of the spear. Nobody else was willing to help him look. I bet from now on, he will sleeping w/ the spear at night.

I just worry what will happen if the Morgan's pillage his fish spear. ::shudder::

I'm with you Neko,that was amazing! I'm convinced Rupert has a team of little invisible fairies,flitting around him,making sure all he touches is gold!

Jarryjayo, I am not sure I remember this correctly but I think Morgan doesn't have a whole lot for water collection. Having to hand it over would have hurt them as well. A no win situation. However, Sandra could have been a little more conciliatory towards them. Who knows, maybe she tried but was rebuffed. Morgan would have been ticked no matter what she took. It doesn't look like they can afford to lose anything.
Rupert and the rest of Drake won't be lovey-dovey either if or when Morgan comes calling for that spear, and they'd be stupid not to go for it first chance.

I would think Drake (Rupert) especially would be smart enough now to know that on Reward Challenge day act like a pirate! Bury anything you don't want pillaged by the other team. I'd be digging a hole like a Rotweiller after a bone, and burying the spear, that tarp, food, water jugs, and anything I didn't want them to take. Morgan doesn't have a clue as to what Drake has and they can't take it if they can't find it....:)

Was the spear something that survivor gave them or is it an item they bought or bartered for in the village? If so, is it possible the spear was something that Rupert managed to barter for with his booty after pillaging Morgan's shoe supply? If so, I can understand him sort of thinking of it as HIS spear. Plus, I thought his comment that he was glad he found it because he knew that Shawn felt terrible about losing it and he knew that Shawn would be relieved indicated that even though he was aggravated about the head being lost, he still had some compassion for his tribemate.

Aus10 I so completly agree...I think Rupert should take apart the spear on Reward challenge day and hide the end....then what good is the pole??? You are correct that Morgan has no clue as to what Drake has...so as long as Drake keeps quiet in front of Morgan about their "riches" then Morgan will probably take back their tarp! (I can just see them sending Osten and Osten saying he wants the tarp...and he'll start pulling down parts of their camp and then Sandra will bring him the tarp all folded nicely and say...we didn't really need it anyway!) :)

Bcand, I am pretty sure they bought/bartered the spear in town. But I don't think it was Rupert who got it -- I seem to recall it being either Burton or Shawn who got it (I could be wrong of course...). Rupert has adopted it, though, and rightly so.

And I agree with that whole hiding thing. But the only thing I can think of is that they probably have been forbidden from hiding things from the other team during "pillage". Otherwise, you gotta figure that the Morgan tribe would have hidden some stuff before Sandra got there. (?)

GMTA Needmylifeback! I posted the same idea of having the tarp folded up and not used when Morgan comes to Drake to reclaim it (I posted it in the "feel sorry for Morgan" thread). That would be a funny way to screw with their heads!

Dear Moderator

I'm not sure of anything anymore. I may not have hit the post button. Don't let me do that again. Ok? :)

I think that the Rupert/Shawn/spearhead problem was not so much a matter of Rupert feeling that the spear was –in essence– his personsal property, but rather that the ability to fish (and consume good protein) is vital to Drake's survival.

Rupert was impressive in that he made it clear that Shawn had done a dumb thing (in losing the spear), but also avoided making an enemy of him. Rupert seems to have good people-skills.

He really does. He's very honest and even asks permission to get mad. I think he'll go far. At first, I thought he didn't have the stamina- just from the trip to camp. Now, he seems stronger and happier than ever. Go figure. I do think his skirt is about to wear out. Yikes.

Wow, I guess I am in the minority who was irritated by how Rupert handled the spear situation. I like him alot but he was overly emotional and mean about it, imo. I think the biggest reason for his feelings are that he feels thats his way of making himself needed and without the fishing, they would vote him out. I think it is merely his insecurities.

I did like how Rupert didn't want to hot Morgan while they were down with the pillaging. That was classy.

He got upset & rightly so, I think because before Shawn went out with the spear, Rupert explained to him that the trine was loose & had a habit of falling off, so he tired to impress upon him how important is was to be very careful.

Shawn came back, well before night fall....shrugging his shoulders with an 'oh well, the tip is gone' attitude. His nonchalance in the face of his enormous blunder is probably what set Rupert off.

Well, after reading Ryan's S' departure transcript and learning they can't hide their things from the other tribe during the pillage...perhaps Rupert should "lose" the spear head again. This time though, just close enough to the shore that he knows where to find it again. LOL....I'd keep it out of the hands of Morgan anyway I could and even "temporarily" losing it till after the pillage could be useful. Go Rupert!!

"Oops! I accidentally dropped the spearhead into this hole and accidentally covered it up!!
Oh well, I'm too tired to dig it out now..maybe after the RC..."

LOL
That's what I'd be saying..
