Why does Rupert "deserve" the million. This isn't about final 4, they asked... "of the 18 here who deserves $1,000,000" There is only one answer... Rudy

I'm just so excited that I can vote from Singapore. I've already voted about 50 times for Rupert. I'm making up for all the AI votes I couldn't make!

I'm sorry but... The CBS site asks: Who deserved the $1,000,000: Rob What the CBS site should ask: Who deserves a million: Rudy Everyone else has the rest of their lives to parlay thier individual experience into a decent living. Rudy is an American hero nearing the end of his life. He never asked for anything and thanks his country for the opportunity. So, go ahead, use your dialer, vote for Rupert 500 times, and Rudy will get "Robbed" just like everyone else

Rupert is a person who picked a career that helps people but doesn't get paid for it. He works as a vocational and clinical mentor for troubled teens. Other people are nurses, firemen, policemen, and especially teachers! Rupert showed heart and earned respect by working hard on both Survivors. Rupert deserves a million dollars!

I voted for Sue Hawk over and over just to be arbitrary. I figure she at least won't give all the money away. I'm glad the kids won tonight!

<nd> while I am sure Rupert is underpaid as most folks in that line of work are, last I checked, they pay folks in social work. I dated one, and he was paid fairly. Not exhorbantly but fairly. Rob works 3 jobs, one of which is coaching kids in inline skating...which doesn't really scream to me of high income. SO, assuming this isn't a charity of who needs it the most, I believe the question on CBS is who DESERVED the mil. My take on that is if we were on the jury who would we have voted for/who did we feel played the best game. That is who I think deserves to win this contest...NOT who do we feel is worthy of $$$. This makes me realize why TV producers have taken the voting away from us, the public. Because we can't seem to vote on merit, but rather on pure emotions. IMHO, every vote based that way will only reinforce production teams on other shows to never give us any voting of merit more than something like America's Choice (would you like to see the HG's have a toaster, a waffler, or a new Ginsu knife). This is what we do with it. ARRRGHHHHH.

Without getting too worked up about the whole matter (I'm going to go vote...probably once each day), I think a strong case could be made the Rupert DESERVED the million. He played honestly, he worked hard, he didn't put down people, he stayed true to his alliances, and (with the exception of that disastrous shelter) he always tried to provide for his tribe. Sounds like a Survivor to me!

<nd> But what is the question on CBS? Is it "which Survivor would you most like to give a million bucks to?" or "Which Survivor is your personal favorite?" NOPE...it's "Who deserved to win the million dollars on Survivor All-Stars." <nd> I know who I think played the best game this time and that is who I voted for. Now if this was for last Survivor without question my vote would have gone to Rupert because I thought he played that one the best. But I'm sorry if anyone missed my 2 points, which were 1) many seem to be voting on favorites not merit, which I think will discourage any other shows that might consider giving America the vote to not do it, and 2) this isn't Queen for a Day--and IMHO (and it is only my opinion) we shouldn't be voting on who needs the $$$ the most because truthfully we have no clue and that wasn't the question they asked us. Sigh. <nd>

<el> I had stated but with fewer words then Teach, " Rupert showed heart and earned respect by working hard on both Survivors." But you 'respect Teach's reason'. <el>

You could not be more right Lurk, I agree. Thank God the weekly voting on these shows is not up to the viewers. We would have nothing but really nice boring people on the shows and then guess what? Ratings would drop and cancellation would follow that. You think that would occur to most people but apparently not.

<el> PS I respected Teach's opinions because they intelligently stated why they thought Rupert should win in relation to the game and according to what CBS asked us to vote for.

I'm still in the middle of watching the reunion show and am not enjoying very much of it. It was interesting to listen to Cathy talk (at the last TC) about how concerned Rob was about how people view him. And then tonight, as I predicted, we had a repeat of Mike's Big Brother "will you marry me" moment. And then Rob gets to call others on lying when he lied more then anyone else during this Survivor. Even after he's come in second and his bride-to-be has won the million, he still needs to attack others in order to defend his own back-stabbing behavior. And who is the one to defend him? Richard Hatch! Oh my ~ that's not saying much. I don't like the guy and never will. And I don't give a rats behind what the producers think of it. I was going to vote for Rupert. Right now I'm leaning toward Lex. Simply out of spite of what I'm hearing on the reunion show tonight. That's right ~ SPITE ~ pure emotion. And there's nothing anyone can do about it!

You know Pascalle...I used to vigoriously disagree with that. I HATED when America lost the vote on BB. But this sadly makes me see why it didn't work. Of course to vote off interesting people mean there have to be some cast to begin with LOLOL...but I'm digressing. But I do wish that folks would show we can handle participating and I'm glad you see why I'm upset, and feel this is sending a clear message that the public can't handle it. Sigh.

Uh ~ oh ~ Was I intelligent enough in my response? I jumped on the computer and typed pretty fast. Lurk ~ the way I took your post was basically a put down of anyone who votes for Rupert is strictly doing it based on emotions. Surely you had to expect his fans to react to that? As far as how the general public votes, let's not forget that we vote for our president in pretty much the same manner. Should we stop giving us the people the vote because emotion plays into it?
