Allietex | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 09:33 pm     Wonder how surprised Rupert was as this show progressed and he realized just how popular he was. It seemed from his parting remarks tonight that he thought everything was all over. He had lost and that was that. He just seemed to be crushed. He really wanted to win. I am not sure if it was the money or the feeling of accomplishment that he wanted the most. He commented that there went his dreams. I will be very surprised and disappointed if Rupert does not parlay his popularity into something profitable at least for awhile. I hope he cashes in big. |
Eliz87 | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 09:56 pm     He seemed very surprised to me. I can't recall any contestant in the past saying to Jeff Probst, "I can't believe this." Usually they don't say anything when their torches are extinguished. |
Tabbyking | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 10:06 pm     i did love the jeff line during the challenge, though, about 'seeing more of rupert than they needed' to, or something along those lines, when they showed his blurred bottom! i hope he does better on the all-star survivor and i hope these people left get really hungry over the next 2 weeks! |
Catfat | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 10:37 pm     Let's see if Jonnie Foreplay can bring home the fish. Ha. |
Pamy | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 05:14 am     I did to Tabby, I was LOL!! Did you all notice that JP didn't tell Rupert 'it's time for you to go' ?...is that the first time he has never said it? with the exception of saying "go home' to Osten? I think even JP was a little surprised and sad |
Jami | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 05:24 am     I just saw Rupert's "interview" on The Early Show. He seemed really shocked at the vote. |
Csnog | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 05:39 am     I saw it also. He was on screen and not in person. He did a comentary and no questions were asked. Ruperts downfall was not talking to and drawing Darraha and Tij to him before Jon got to them. He had a chance to rid the tribe of Jon and blew it. In his profession he should have known that Jon could never be trusted. Rupert also should have known that 3 people in an alliance would not stand against 5 others. Even if he thought that it would be a tie with Lil's vote you should secure another person in your alliance. |
Gemma120in2002 | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 05:44 am     Catfat! Jonnie Foreplay! LOL! Very appropriate! Bet he makes a killer romantic dinner for one! |
Marej | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 06:12 am     I was not happy to see Rupert go UNTIL his last words and then I was glad he was gone. It was all ME ME ME and etc. It was SO OBVIOUS all thru the show that he was going. |
Texannie | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 06:24 am     Aren't all the last words usually about the person? |
Csnog | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 06:34 am     When your on a show that's going to give a major amount of money to the last person standing it is a show about me. Since Burton came back he said he is all about winning and will do anything to win. I found that Rupert was sad in his commentary this morning. Rupert had to know something was up with Buton when he didn't give him the RC and he did nothing to bring the other females into his harem. Some people use the word me instead of us. He thought that he could trust. That's something you can never do in this show. Not if you want to win. Jon is lasting just as Jun did in BB by being a floater. It will catch up to him and Sandra will be behind getting him out. Mark didn't leave Jon's words about guarantying Sandra not winning this game for nothing. |
Yuhuru | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 07:52 am     Rupert was amazingly surprised. He was blinded by his misconception that he was the pirate king of Survivor. He thought he was the puppet master and had everything under his control. His downfall reminds me of John from Marquesas. I believe he was a great provider, but I also believe he was a bully and a manipulater. It's a game and he lost. He seemed to have forgotten that. He seemed so crushed in his parting words. I hope that his memory of his Survivor experience is a good one. |
Lorry | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 08:04 am     Of course Rupert was surprised. We all were, even though we got to see all the plotting against him. I do think he took his being booted hard. I know that I never had a chance at that money and yet last night I cried... I cried like a baby. Goes to show that Rupert has touched my heart... and has touched more than a few people's hearts while he was being Blackbeard. Sure he took it hard... I think many of us are taking it hard. However... he is the winner... and I think his being on the All Star show is a tribute to how much he was liked, how much he was respected... by the viewers, the other players, and Jeff and Mark and everyone associated with the show. There is fame and money in store for Rupert... and it will provide him with the dream he felt he has lost. We have to give him time to get over this... and we need to get over it as well. This season is spectacular in all aspects. These people are so real... and they are providing so much entertainment for us. |
Realfan | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 09:48 am     Great post, Yuhuru. I really liked Rupert in the beginning, but his bullying and assumption everyone would bow to his wishes as the King of hte Island really turned me off. I hated that he was winning by intimidation. So glad Burton stood up to him. And his final words seemed really self-pitying. Ugh. I think he'll be fine, and I won't mind seeing him in the All Star show. I loved the episode last night. Clash of the Pirate Titans! Excellent, classic episode. |
Cassie | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 11:56 am     <These people are so real... and they are providing so much entertainment for us.> Well...there's a couple I could live happily without! Last night, when ole Lilly was boo-hooing, and her chin wobbled a few times and then disappeared--I didn't know whether to barf or turn the TV off. I'm beginning to find her whole personna repulsive. And as for John the Smarmy Smirker...'nuf said. I hope they all starve now and start turning on each other. A great finish for me would be Sandra and Christie in the F2. |
Tabbyking | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 01:37 pm     i agree at this point--F2 of christa and sandra |
Maris | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 02:19 pm     I am with you Cassie. I never felt the love for Lil. Jon doesnt bother me because his ego will be his downfall. I am guessing and hoping for a Sandra Burton finale. That will make for very interesting final votes. If Rupert was surprised then he didnt understand this game as well as he should have. He should have figured he was in trouble the minute he lost the immunity challenge. |
Pantageas | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 04:50 pm     Maris, Rupert should have known he was in trouble as soon as the tribes merged and he only had an alliance of 3...and an OVERT one at that! |
Texasdeb | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 05:32 pm     Rupert's biggest mistake was that he was still holding onto Drake as a team. I think at this point everyone else was looking at it (as they should have been) as an individual game. IMO Christa & Sandra felt secure enough with Rupert's thinking in this round. You gotta give it up to Burton, Jon, & Lil though because from a personal game level the 3 of them did exactly what they should have done for their own survival. Ty & Da just got carried - Rupert's team could have carried them if only they would have picked up on what Sandra overheard in the bushes & reacted. |
Admin | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 06:05 pm     It's not fair. Someone that was booted out comes back to lead the tribe against the strongest player, and possibly might win himself. If they continue antics like this in Survivor, I will stop watching. |
Texasdeb | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 06:21 pm     Admin, the concept of allowing the 1st 6 outed a 2nd chance was a good twist handled wrong. They should have done an individual challange with these 6 & allowed the 2 winners back into a merged tribe with the others. Yes, the 1st wk immunity was OK for these 2. They could have done an unexpected/unannounced tribal council each for Morgan/Drake prior to the Outcast immunity challenge making the outcast contest consist of 8 people. There would be 10 folks after the merge & let the show begin. |
Azriel | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 07:26 pm     Admin, I agree with you. I think the biggest travesty after letting them back in the game was to give them immunity the next week. Once Burton and Lil got their golden chance to come back in the game, it should have been up to them to scramble and find a way to survive in the game again. They had had a break from the mental strain of the game and that in itself was a huge advantage. As we have seen, Burton used his head. He came back and interacted with his tribe on a different level. I believe that even if he hadn't won immunity that first week that he still wouldn't have been voted off. Lil on the other hand would have been soooooooo out of there if she had not had immunity. It would be a different game for Burton right now if he didn't have his guaranteed ally Lil still in the game. Basically, Lil and Burton got a triple chance at Survival over the remaining Survivors and got sent back in with a guaranteed alliance of two. They totally screwed over the people that had REALLY survived. This year we truly won't know who would have really been THE survivor. |
Texasdeb | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 07:37 pm     Don't think it would have mattered about guaranteed immunity for Burton/Lil because Burton's Drake tribe greeted him with open arms while Lil's tribe (Andrew, leader?) same as told her she didn't deserve to be there. Lil was a Drake at that point & Andrew's ship had sank. |
Csnog | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 07:47 pm     From SS ------------------------------- Rupert--The day after part 2 ------------------------------- Transcribed by BrassFan 47 Tribal council...i did not even want to see Tribal Council until day 21. If i had it my way, drakes would not have seen Tribal Council until day 21. Those idiots..idiots..had to go against me and had to throw challenges and to be idiots and had to see Tribal Council early Going to tribal council in this leaky ass sea vessel that we would paddle thru rough ass seas..to go to this old fort..this old gothic fort..was a little intimidating..I usally never felt true intimidated because i never thought I was in jeopardy...I was too important..I felt in my head that I was too important to the tribe to ever really truly be in jeopardy although I was many times at Tribal Council...I did not truly like..I did not feel comfortable..I did not like Tribal Council at all. It was a place..Tribal Council is a place that when Jeff would ask me questions about my tribe, I would be brutally honest..and I would tell them at Tribal Council that they were lazy ass bums...probably shouldn't have done that.. Tribal Council was the one time where I tell them..ya know..well you're bickering amongst yourselves because you're all inadequate It showed me..Tribal Council showed me the ugly side of people..the dishonest...abusive side of people...as I watched us vote people out and then ultimately was voted out it showed me a very ugly side of people...I didn't like seeing that Day 27 and the seas are insanely hard...insanely rough and there's a conspiracy to vote me out that I don't know about..and I am that kind of arrogant, cocky guy in Tribal Council saying "I would probably fall out of my seat Jeff if I got voted out"..I could not believe that I would be voted out ..could not believe that I would go anywyhere...because no body else in my tribe....we're out of food, we're out rice we've got a handful of lentils and a handful of beans...11 days..12 days 11 nights left to go on day 27, and we have handfuls of food. I thought there was no way in the world i would go anywhere. And then my name comes up...a couple of times...when I walked up and set my torch down in front of Jeff I don't remember him snuffing it out...I don't remember anything....all I remember is looking him in the eye and saying I can't bleive this...and then I walked away |
Texasdeb | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 08:10 pm     Who brings in the food now? I don't want to see Christa go without. Sandra knows what she's doing (after her over-hearing jon/bur in the bushes & not doing anything for her allience about it). Burton can't risk being gone fishing & allowing the others to plot against him the way he used this ploy against Rupert. Sandra just WON'T risk it & the others are....well...let's just say not able. LOL Could be really funny if someone gets a fish and barter sharing this fish for 1 time allience purposes. Who CAN fish? Well, Rupert's girls, that's who! I know I'm grabbing - but, at this point I'm happy with either Christa or Sandra in F2. |
Starshine40 | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 12:51 am     I remember in some of the spoilers that it was said (by one of the natives, I think to Quartzeye and Weezie) that the older woman who got back in the game went back to the village a couple of times to get supplies..... hmmmmm, wonder who rows her over??? If someone does go it would be better if it were Sandra since she speaks the language. |
Starshine40 | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 03:08 am     Csnog, was that from SS from survivor sucks or what??? |
Csnog | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 05:10 am     Yes it was from Survivor Sucks. Jeff mentioned before the show started that someone killed a pelican and they boiled it but then were told not to eat it because it might have carried a disease. I wonder if they will show it. |
Fruitbat | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 06:28 am     I heard that they decided not to air that. The pig in Australia created an uproar and they do not want a repeat. With Rupert gone I think we can safely say it is history now. He is the only one I could see being able to kill and dress a bird. |
