I like Rupert, but my favorites never win. I would like to see Rupert and Rudy the final two. Colby would be nice since he came so close on his game. I do hope no one that has already won big wins again

Yes, Mocha...Robb brought his skateboard as his 'luxury' item.

Jane_bond:.. Hello!! I agree.. Rupert little boy smile.. he so reminds me of Hagrid of Harry Potter fame!

Mack: Ruperts outburst might of been edited.. but I think it was more of Rupert's heart being on the line .. than Rupert being cocky!

I would of loved to see Rob Z back for A.S.S...who knows.. maybe Shii Ann being part of it changed things??!!

You know, I'm not sure how I would act out there under all that stress. I may be the biggest bi@ch of them all!!! Thats why I try to cut them some slack on judgeing them.

I would love to see him win, however, it will be a repeat of his last Survivor game, as one "snake" will swallow him alive...

I love Rupert even more. I was afraid that he would vote for Rudy. (It was the only smart thing to do. I love Rudy but he just wasn;t strong enough this time.) But Rupert stuck by his word! Love him, love him, love him!

Padvius, why do you hate Rupert? Just wondering- you've probably said in other threads, but I haven't seen. He has issues like all of us, but I would love him on my side.

I just to take him and hug him! He really seems like such a little boy. He was just so cute when he said "I got a fish!".

That was cute. So was his happy dance for the fire. I'm also glad that he didn't vote for Rudy. I thought he might at the last minute. Too bad they couldn't have just let Rudy know.

Funny how he said he's "always been the outsider"...hope he realizes he has many, many fans and admirers now.

I got his address at Christmas time and sent him a card, in Indiana, just to let him know what a BIG fan I am of his.

It'd be great if he got a show or something from this. I'd love to be able to tune in on a weekly basis to see the 'shy-boy' :-)

I would like to point out that Rupert only said he felt like an outsider in response to Jeff's direct question/statement indicating the Rupert must feel like an outsider.

Just trying to head off the Rupert naysayers who think all he does is whine.

Rupertbear: I could totally see Rupert on Animal Planet doing a show about Snakes , Lizards and such..I would even watch it and I usally avoid shows like that..(I HATE snakes... lol)

Kep421: In a way.. Rupert is the outsider this time around.. kinda like the new kid at school.. among all the old Survivors.. hopefully that works to his advantage!

I have loved Rupert since day one of Pearl Island.. but to see him keep his word to Rudy, (even tho it could come back and bite him in the butt) and how upset he was to see Rudy go just made me love him even more!
When Ethan went fishing.. came back empty handed out goes Rupert.. 5 minutes later has a fish..LOL I loved it!

Oh,you're right Surfgirl....America's answer to Steve Erwin...minus the baby-dangling near the croc or was that a balcony?....um, never mind ;)

I see Jenna gave him a kiss on the cheek. Was that for catching the fish?

Funny how, when you're absolutely famished, one fish amongst five people can appear to be a feast.

When Rupert stole those shoes he stole my heart!
That man amazes me, he is such a caring, giving person.

I loved him before but when he was crying talking about not voting Rudy off tears ran down my face, I just wanted to hug him

You know, maybe I was a bit harsh... I don't HATE him... but I certainly don't like him. I just think he's too arrogant. Last season, he reminded me too much of Richard -- he always thought he was irreplacable because he was the provider. He also took the game too personally, relating it to his childhood. When his torch was being snuffed out, he looked tlike a puppy who had lost his tail. That made me angry, because he himself had campaigned and used his alliance to vote other people out and they all left with pride and dignity and their heads were held high (recall Burton, Michelle, Trish, Andrew, Ryan O...) and then he finally lost and he was whining like a baby.
I loved him as much as anyone at the beginning of S7 (someone mentionned the stealing shoes -- I loved that too!) but I quickly started to dislike him.

And of course, when you feel strongly about something and practically the entirety of the rest of the population of the world disagrees with you... that'll get anyone riled up and feeling their opinion even MORE.

Anyways, that's my two cents... which is exactly what Rupert will get when he leaves the game, voted out.

Rupert still remains high in my ranking (just from S7). What he has done so far in All-Stars just proves that he deserves to be there. There are folks there that don't have a fan base & didn't do much in their 1st show to make us Survivor fans wander WHY are they there. At least we all know why our Rupert is there!

Did anyone else read the IN TOUCH article about how poor he is and how he left his wife and daughter last time for Survivor and pretty much almost made them homeless?

I did not know that......

Rupertbear : Lmao off at Steve Erwin and dangling babies..I couldnt see Rupert doing that.. maybe dangling Richard Hatch over a croc.. but no babies..lol

Padivius : Comparing Rupert to Richard is like ..well.. comparing John Wayne to Michael Jackson( sorry still have dangling babies on the brain lol) .. but seriously.. I agree Rupert did get really cocky near the end.. but I think it was because he got a big head from catching all the fish and because he was the strongest on the tribe.. because he was playing with his heart not his head.. he forgot the best doesnt always win.. usally its the sneakiest, devious, least deserving person.. like Richard Htach!!(lol)
I understand what you mean about feeling strongly about some one, the more others push the more you shy away.. I was the same way about Johnny Fairplay..I detested him and the Granny thing pissed me off.. but my Hubby started liking him so I had to hate Johnny even more lol.. while secretly, a few times ,I had to hide my grins at Johnnys actions from my Hubby!!

I liked Rupert up until his boot S7 episode. Since then he's mostly bugged/irked/annoyed me. Padivius spelled out the reasons pretty well.

I know he makes for good reality TV, so I'm willing to watch him, and I'm willing to see him go far. But most of the time I just feel like he's an actor pulling the wool over people's eyes with his 'act' for the cameras.

I do believe he is not very financially secure in real life. I also believe his work with troubled teens is a real and admirable vocation. So, simply based on that, I will not be unhappy if he wins the thing. But, it won't change the fact that when I watch him on screen - he's mostly just getting on my nerves.

Ok.. Rupert screwed up on the shelter challenge..
Lets hope he does way better on the raft challenge..
Cant blame him completly for shelter.. only Jerri had balls to argue against the water dugout(lol)

Maybe if Jenna and Ethan would of agreed with Jerri, that his idea sucked.. they might of done better!

Please all Rupert lovers.. dont give up! Gotta remember.. back to back survivor.. cant be easy.. gonna have a mental lapse(shelter) sometimes!

I'm still a Rupert fan and even though I cringed at his shelter, I will continue to root for him.

This last episode when he knew how badly they were all hurting, Jerri especially, he made it his mission to do what he could to provide protein and improve the shelter - anything that would help them all feel better both physically and emotionally. And that is the Rupert that we all came to love in the last Survivor.

I just have to put in a good word for my Rupert. Warts and all, I just love the guy.

There is something so refreshing about him... maybe it's because he values his word and his handshake more then the money he could win.

I don't think we're seeing enough of Rupert....and I'm thinking because of that, the show is just a teeny weeny bit mellow. Does anybody else agree?

I agree Kimmy, but then it would be unfair to those people who have a different favorite player... damn... lol

This particular season, with the all-stars and three tribes, is a bit too much for me. I can't seem to get to concentrate on the other players like I would like. Some are not even on screen, like Colby... Those small glimpses barely give me enough to decide who I like and who I don't like... (Can you believe I waste good time thinking about this stuff?)

Keep in mind, Lorry and Kimmy... that if they don't show alot of a player near the beginning of a Survivor, it means they'll be around later for their missed camera-time...

and so! Rupert's raft failed like his shelter... I was not surprised. Well, perhaps he and Jenna will find better luck in Chapera.

I really am confused now. Rupert's raft design was definitely NOT built for speed. Surely he would KNOW that the comps are always races!

A SQUARE FRONT raft?? What was he thinking????? I am very curious as to how Rupert will fit in with his new tribe. Cant wait for next weeks show!!
