I voted for Rupert. Jenna's betrayal was too painful to watch and hopefully he'll win the million.

I watched the View. Star said she was voting for Rupert! Jenna said vote for Rupert not for me! Rob said vote for me! Amber said Rob should get my votes! Rupert cleaned up nice Dark gray shirt with black dress pants. Nice to see him out of the tie-dye.

Whoa Rupertbear... I like Rupert okay I'm voting for Boston Rob because I think he played the game eons better. Not because of Rupert's dalliance with Jenna & Amber. I just don't understand why he is viewed as some kind of exceptionally devoted husband. There is nothing wrong imho with 'having a bit of fun' with the opposite sex... my hubby & I do this all the time (go out for drinks, dinner, emailing, whatever - platonically)... but saying you want to 'hug & kiss them all over' is a whole different enchilada. If I saw my dad saying that on Survivor I would have been shocked I think it's a rare person who would find this acceptable from their spouse. Most wives I guarantee you would be unhappy if their hubbies told the world their colleagues looked so pretty, they want to hug & kiss them all over. How Rupert can be considered exceptionally into his wife I just don't understand. What would people think if Boston Rob said this about the Jennas? Would people doubt his feelings for Ambuh.

Seriously, Lurk...I wasn't talking to you. Thanks, Sunrise. Lol, Buggles, c'mon now girlie...ya were making Jenna & Amber out to be two innocent nineteen year olds. The camera is on them every second. Rupert and Jenna had forged a friendship...to me it's just typical male banter...I'm sure he probably got a lecture from Mrs. Rupert but you should hear the stuff my dh comes out with...and I know he means none of it, he thinks he's being funny! And, they do seem devoted to each other, so mayhap she takes it all with a grain of salt, we don't know.

I think Rupert’s relationship with his wife is probably strong enough that he can be confident that she knows that Rupert was simply talking. If you were really thinking of cheating on your wife, you’d hardly talk about it on national television (unless you’re a nut on Jerry Springer). It reminds me of an incident years ago when President Jimmy Carter made some comment during an interview about how he occasionally has lust in his heart or something to that effect. The media dumped all over him at the time, which is pretty funny when you compare it to the later Clinton years.

I am confused.... where did anyone read that the public (us) was supposed to vote for who they thought "should have" won Survivor? I thought it was who we "wanted" to win and who "deserved" a million.... I didn't see anything about who should have won the game. They couldn't say that, it would be contradictory to the way they are playing the game. They feel that the person who won should have won. Soemtimes I don't agree but that is the way the game is played.

SBW I think the problem (other than my stalling here all day rather than getting any work done lol) is that CBS never really set criteria of why we should vote, and then changed the minimal guidance they gave us from "who deserved the Mil" to who do want to win. So the problem is when they are so vague folks interpret it their own way then seem to invest a lot of energy into trying to convince others that their interpretation is correct. But that said, I know you were making a comment The only thing is I don't think the person who won should have won, but this game has a long history of that. Actually the only times I recall agreeing with the winners were Richard and Ethan (there might be more but they don't come to mind). But like you say...it IS how the game is played, so be it!

Jeff looked and pointed to me through my TV screen and said clearly, "For who you want, how you want and for whatever reason you want, it is up to you, just vote!" and he was on CBS.

Lurk, you have that "stall" disease too! I wish they could come up with a cure for it. I was and was not making a comment. I truthfully have NEVER heard it said that it was who "should" win "the game". I wondered since so many were mentioning it, if it had been somewhere/sometime. I still feel as above that if "my" criteria is that the person who "deserves" the million is the person I think should have won the game then that is how I should vote. If I want to reward someone for entertainment value that is what I should do. We should have fun with this! Now if you (and I don't mean anyone specifically) want to talk about giving me the million, then it would be worth fighting over!

If I vote by who played the game best then it would be for ROB. He was smarter then all of those who seem to be bitter on the jury side. I believe they are acting bitter because it's not them in the final 2. However, after eading about Rupert's life , I voted for him because I want to give him a chance at enjoying the good life with his wife and daughter who he genuinely adores! (I would have also given it to Jenna so that she can provide for her girls but chose Rupert instead)

LOL Sbw...I got a really REALLY bad case of it today. Probably because I have so much to do it's overwhelming, so easier to sit here and ramble lol. I've always said I only come in 2 speeds--coma and possessed. Need to get into the latter. And I hear ya about the mil...did you see my suggestion somewhere/sometime in all this about wishing they set it up in a way that a viewer would get say half a mil and then choose who they want to get the other half or something like that. I really think they could have set this up far better and more clearly.

I voted for Big Tom, I've met him before and he was super nice. (He lives in this area.) Can anyone tell me when the polls close? My Mom wants to vote and I don't know how long she has to do that. GO BIG TOM!
