The question at CBS.com NOW says''Who do you WANT to win the million dollars" !!!!!!

i wonder if they were getting too many Rob votes and not enough Ruperts!

I like Rupert but I feel this whole voting set-up was very manipulated by CBS with the intent of just giving Rupert a million dollars. I don’t like that one bit and I’m not voting for Rupert as a result.

Also I don’t like all this charity stuff. To me, saying “give me money and I’ll give some to charity is tacky” and a poor reason for determining a winner. If people (including us) want to give money to a charity we should just give to a charity. If everyone did that it would make a whole lot more difference than what the winner of this second million could do.

Put it into perspective – what would you do if someone on this board said to you “give me money and I’ll give some of it to charity”. You’d probably laugh yourself silly at the thought, but that is what a lot of the contestants are saying.

Goshdurnit! Nobody's innocent around here.....LOL (edited to add: Except for me )

And to keep it on topic: Go Rupert, Rudy, or COLBY!

I don't get why people love Rupert for 'loving his wife so much.' I was appalled when he took Jenna & Amber on the massage getaway & said he wanted to kiss & hug them all over because they looked so pretty. Yuck!!!! I thought, omg, his poor wife & daughter sitting home watching. I've been married 10 yrs, and if my 33-yr-old hubby said that about two 19-yr-olds... or ANY two women for that matter... well, to each his/her own I guess. Rupert just does not fit my idea of a 'devoted husband.' Even if he is big & grizzly & loves to smooch his wife (or anyone).

I believe Rudy will give his to the military charity. Rudy is a straight shooter and that charity is part of his heart

I think Rudy is completely sincere about giving the money to charity. He values his word above everything.

And I think it's his right to say so, and the right of people who think that's a great thing to do to reward him with the money.

I just don't get putting someone down because they want to do a tremendously generous thing.

I think it's ok for Rudy to do what he's doing. But the thing is, he knows he would not be the top vote-getter otherwise. So the reality is, it's not really a matter of him keeping the mil or giving it to charity. The way he's looking at it, he either doesn't get the million at all or he wins it with this promise to give half (or most) to charity.

I just wanted to note that the "ladies" on the View were ever-so-happy Elisabeth is one of the possibilities for the sexiest woman on the show. They encouraged their viewers to vote early and often for her. Personally, I'd rather have wisdom teeth removed--again--and end up with "dry sockets" on all of them than vote for her, but to each his or her own.

I don’t for a second doubt Rudy’s sincerity and if people want to vote based on the charity issue then that is their prerogative. I just don’t see the point in giving someone money based on that reason. On the other hand, if everyone voting actually just gave $10 to their favourite charity it would make an incomparable difference compared to what one of the Survivors could do with part of that million dollars.

For that matter, those voting based on the charity issue should really consider voting for Ethan. That way all of the million will go to charity.

Please note that it’s not that I don’t like charities and people that give and volunteer to help. Many of the Survivor contestants (including Rob and Amber) have already given their time and made an effort to contribute to various charities – something that I greatly admire and respect.

Rudy's speech (at least the first one I saw, I guess there is another?) was hilarious, so like him.

I voted for Rob C just because. He should have done without mentioning the thing about "I'm the greatest player never to win", but I voted for him anyway.

It seems Jerri had more than one closet that needed cleaning, or she missed a corner or two in that first one.

Lyn, I couldn't get the video links up there to work, but at cbs.com on the survivorinsider page they worked for me.

Rob C's video is hilarious!

When I went via aol the links wouldn't work. When I went on IE they worked fine (in real player NOT windows media player). Notice they are answering why the DESERVE to win...as I posted yesterday what the question used to be on the CBS site. I would love a gander at the voting and see how it progressed.

Just because I am feeling manipulated, and just because I don't like to be, I think I'll go vote for Boston Rob a few more times :-)

To those who are saying they won't vote Rupert because they KNOW CBS has set it up this way....Rupert didn't set this vote up, they did.

You are punishing Rupert's popularity to spite a media conglomerate...lol.

If you are not voting against him like Buggles say because you don't think he should have a bit of fun with two alliance members because they are MID-20s and you are a big bear of a man, then fine...but saying you won't vote him to spite CBS makes NO sense.

No Rupertbear, I'm not voting Rupert because he isn't the person I'd like to see win the Mil...or as originally asked, the person who I feel deserves to win it. That is my choice, just as voting for him is yours.

The fact that I feel CBS is manipulating this is only making me vote a few more times than I would have for Boston Rob....the person I think played the best game and should have won. (My personal criteria for who to vote for). Also I enjoyed him this Survivor more than anyone else.

Also, I think they way they set up voting is absurd. If I had a family member or friend up for the mil I'd be on the phone and online 24/7 voting. If someone has a strong network set up doing this I think it could negate all the casual voters who place 10 or 20 votes. Think how many someone doing this round the clock could get in. And think how hard you would try if it was your brother, cousin, friend.

Plus a PS....please allow me my opinions. Certainly feel free to disagree with them...but please don't put me down for them. Thanks.

The person I want to win is the person that provided ME the most entertainment. That is definitely Rupert. He and Sandra made Pearl Islands fun to watch. This year the same starting with that dysfunctional, ugly shelter which is a great idea if you were someplace else... to watching his caring attitude when someone seemed low, frustrated or sick. Sorry I see enough back stabbing and lying... and it may make for entertainment but tempered with caring to me it comes in second. I don't think walking over somebody means "deserves" in all cases. The person who deserved to win the million for the game - won. She has the check and it is in the bank.

My criteria is mine... you use yours; I respect your right to base your "who do you want to win a million" or "who deserves to win a million" on whatever criteria you choose.

I will think it's so funny if for whatever reason someone other than Rupert wins this million. It reminds me of another voting show that shall remain nameless where the rabid fans were so sure their guy would win and they're still moaning about it almost a year later that he didn't ...

I have been on the fence about Rob. Rupert has been my favorite and I am voting for Rupert. I think he provided us tons of entertainment over the last two seasons (yes, I know some find Rob entertaining as well).

I just saw the four finalists on The View and frankly, Rob totally turned me off. He is being a sore loser. He said he was "robbed" of the million because of sore losers, but I think he is just as much a sore loser.

He was there one or two days longer than Rupert and Jenna. So, essentially they were all out there for most of the time. He ends up with a good deal more money than the others, not only his own winnings, but Amber's as well. He lost it in his inablility to smooth things with those on the jury.

Rupert worked hard, got along with folks for the most part, and I think his strategy was just as good as anyone else. If he had won immunity rather than Amber (and he was incredibly close), then the game would be different. I don't hear him complaining. And Jenna is also being quite gracious.

The person who deserved to win the million for the game is Rupert. He has integrity, was a good provider, hard working and a caring person who did play two Survivor games back to back.

This is my opinion and people have the right to their opinions.
