Add me to the nuts crew. I don't think Rupert is any more deserving than the rest of them.

Well, it's just a matter of semantics, LT. We have to vote for one person, so.. whilst no one is neccessarily more deserving than any one else, you award you vote to someone.

Lurk said, "True it was funny to watch, but he stole from a bunch of folks to better his team, leaving them potentially barefoot in a jungle." I disagree Lurk, he didn't steal their tennis shoes he stole their dress shoes which they wouldn't be wearing in the jungle, and with the pirate theme last time I think it was within the grounds of the game to "pillage" unguarded items. Remember, there are only 2 real rules. No hitting/hurting and no agreeing to split the money.

no hurting? I don't think that is a rule per se, because if it were, the producers would have edited out Rob's mean spirited comments about Big Tom's son. They had to know that would hurt Tom...

Good Luck to who ever wins. I guess, people will vote for who they want and that is their right to.

Two things...Starshine...remember these were the Survivors tossed overboard. They didn't have tennis shoes or any other shoes at the time (unless they bought them). So he had no way of knowing if he was leaving folks barefoot. And Rupertbear you are right...I did end up feeling like I was campaigning to match up to the other campaigns for different Survivor's. It's why I took stock of my actions as well as others and made that comment. And I also agree it is about perception and feeling a connection with folks on this and other reality shows. It's just that some feel a stronger connection and I think take opinions posted about that person personally, rather than being about the other person. I've seen that happen many times here with differet folks and shows. When I do that, I know it's time to step away from the TV and/or computer for awhile LOLOL.

Well, I haven't seen too much support for ShiAnn but my votes go to her. She is intelligent, shrewd, and played as good a game as any. I think she had a good understanding of what was going on but did not have the alliances to change things so she verbalized things just to keep others on their toes. She has always been one of my favorites. I appreciated her maturity and correct assessment of the situation on the Reunion show, as well as at final Tribal Council. She deserves more recognition, in my book. Going off to vote now!

Regarding the Rupert/shoe pillage incident. IIRC, the show provided the castaways with sneakers (as they usually get a sneaker sponsor to donate shoes). I'm pretty sure I remember Jeff holding up two bundles of shoes, making mention of providing them with sneakers, and tossing the bundles overboard. So, I went back and looked at the S7 website, and looked up the Episode 1 summary:
quote:Shock crept across their faces as the realization hit them that they would truly be stranded. Jeff tossed the castaways' sneakers overboard. With only the clothing on their backs and a sack of Panamanian currency, the two tribes were sent to fend for themselves in a local village, where they would have to acquire anything and everything they would need to survive the next weeks.
I also remember the discussion of watching Rupert pillage from the other team. He picked up some sneakers, then tossed them aside and took only the dress shoes. The discussion we had going on here at the time was whether Rupert had elected not to take the sneakers, knowing how important they would be for the tribe (and remember Rupert was adamant at not hurting the other tribe, just beating them). Or if an off-camera producer told him, "no don't take the sneakers, but you can take anything else you want."

Thanks for checking back on that, Who. Yeah, he did toss aside the sneakers and take the dress shoes. Thanks, Sherlock.

Well, I wouldn't have cared if he did take the sneakers. Rupert has provided me more TV watching pleasure than any other Survivor contestant. For that reason - I vote for Rupert! IMO Rupert was kept around by the Rob bunch because he fed them meat. Jenna was kept around by the Rob bunch because she was "Rupert's girl". Jenna's mouth was even getting on Rupert's nerves after awhile but, he remained true to his commitment to her. If Rupert doesn't get the public's vote for 1 mil, my 2nd (& only) other folks would be either Jenna or Shi Ann.

I haven't read all the posts, but didn't the shoe incident happen in Rupert's original season? Shouldn't this season be judged based on his actions this season? Otherwise, there are a whole lot of things that should be brought up about other all-stars....

That's true, Avice. Well girl...it's been a long debate since Sunday evening. ;) Suffice to say, you just vote whomever you would like to see be awarded a million dollars on Thursday night...it's that simple now. None of us is going to come to a concensus here, so just vote whom you like, kiddo.

Where did you see that Kona? I would like to see the total breakdown, especially who came in fifth. That is the most interesting to me. noooooooo....the most interesting is how Tom got to be in the final 4. Still can't wrap my mind around that.

It was on E! and ET Friday night, Fruitbat, Rupert got 87% of the votes. Jeff said it himself in an interview.
