I just want to say that I'm glad that Rupert won. I honestly believe that he will put it to "good use". I just hope he doesn't fall for any "sob stories" and give it away where it isn't needed. He has such a big heart.
I also want to say I believe Rob and Amber are truly in love and I wish them all the happiness they deserve.
Good luck to all the survivors. You entertained us once again!

Hello all. I've been reading most of your posts, but I haven't commented much. Now at the end, I want to share my thoughts.
I'm so very glad Rupert won the million! It restores my faith that sometimes the "good guy" doesn't always finish last.
As far as Rob and whether he desrved it: Some others have brought this up and I agree. Part of the game is ensuring the jurors are with you. I think Rob made a big mistake in not considering that his actions would taint how the jurors voted. I think they had reasonable complaints against him. Thus, that part of his strategy did not work. So he did not deserve to win.
That's all I have to say. Thanks for all your great comments about the game.
Looking forward to the next Survivor!

pamy, i think that's a lot more than AI votes, but remember, they had more than a 2-hour voting block for this!
to my mind, the right person won. rupert worked hard all the way through.
plus, rob already got a truck, 250k of his own, a fiancee with a car and 1 mill. i think maybe if rob had not pulled it off to be in final 2 and won so much already, and not been 'smirky' and belittling, he might have had more chance of getting this million. to my mind, he's got plenty.
i am totally satisfied that rupert is the people's choice.
i do not have anything to say about whether rob and amber will make it or break it down the line; however, i do think he needs to quit going on about how he deserved the win more than amber! if she is normal, and he doesn't cool it, it would have to get very tiresome to have to hear this over and over again and not get royally pissed off at some point.

Lurk, as usual, I agree with you 100 per cent. I hope this pattern continues into BB this summer. However, I always cheer on the ones who play to win and nobody else likes. LOL. I too, have wondered at the post I've read where people almost seem to want Rob and Amber to not make it. Talk about sour grapes- sheesh! Jimmer, I love your posts as well. Finally BGJane, thanks so much for the island info and map.

I'm so excited Rupert won the million! It restores my faith also that sometimes the 'average Joe' can be so popular even with his flaws Rupert was sincere and loveable.

Rupert made me smile as the film clips reminded me again why I liked him.

Congratulation to Rupert and you lovely family!! :-)

I loved the show and the film clips of the previous survivors that brought back many good memories. I also shouted loud enough to disturb my neighbors when I saw Rupert's name on that piece of paper. Then I laughed with damp eyes when Jeff was over on the set going ..."um..Rupert??....Rupert???......HEY RUPERT!!" and Rupert is lost in the hugs of his family and doesn't immediately respond to Jeff.

I could have done without Jeff's snarkyiness, but that is discussed in another thread.

I agree with you tabbyking, I think I would have done with Survivor if Rob won the money. I was glad to see that Rupert won. Did CBS make a mistake before telling people that Rupert won.They showd his daughter in the show before they found out was anyone else family there. I was glad to see that Rupert's wife was saying Thankyou to everyone.

Just when I think I am not among the majority... well, I am indeed. I voted for Rupert but still thought Rudy was going to win... he didn't even come close. Well good for Rupert, he did have that something that touched so many of us... maybe it was our fascination with ...pirates.

Jennywa, I agree with you totally. Boston Rob should have known that in the alliance with Amber, he was playing the "bad cop" and he was not winning many jury votes. I still believe he could have played that role with a little less nasty and could have won the whole thing!

Although I do believe that Rob truly cares for Amber but for some reason, I don't get that same vibe from Amber about Rob. I dunno, though, just my impression.

I get the same vibe too from her, but I am thrown off that the parents have all met. If she was just using him, would she have brought him home to meet the folks???

Wow, Kimmy, I had the same feeling about Amber. Rob is wearing his feelings for Amber on his sleeve. But Amber doesn't come across, (to me) as feeling the same way. Guess we'll see.......

I just watched the show and either I blinked or they didn't even mention Rupert and Survivor.

I don't remember anyone saying that they hated Rob. Just pointing out he lied & back stabbed during the game.

It is not just pandemic to this site...these remarks about how he played the game. You go to any site and you will find the exact same reaction there.

Actually no...you will not find the same reaction at some because we are a moderated board and some...well the opinion of Rob is something else.

And I find it somewhat telling that he and Amber were on Howard Stern's show and even Stern wanted Rupert to win.

Someone told me when he and Amber were on Jay Leno, they weren't very gracious about the fact that Rupert is so popular.

You can say, 'well he was only this way in the game' but I find that is not so. He sits right next to his fiance and says over and over, that he was robbed of the win.

So, whats he saying of her win, then? That she DID ride coattails all the way and shouldn't have won? Guess so.

Unfortunately, the psyche major out-psyched himself. Didn't count on the day of reckoning, when nine people would take pen in hand to decide his fate.

As far as 'playing' the game...I don't find it masterful to lie and back stab your way through. Guess some of the jury agreed.

Really will be interesting to see if these two stay together....

two things:

As soon as Rupert won the million... no wait, as soon as rupert got into that "final four" deal --I wanted to barf. He just made me sick the whole show.

Secondly, I thought Rob and Amber weren't allowed to be voted for for the million. Jeff specifically said that we had 16 choices fir the million. Didn't end up mattering anyways, but Rob should not have been in that Final Four.

Ugh... I just can't believe Rupert... I had even begun to LIKE him again by the end of the season, but this showed renewed every bit of my dislike and disgust for him.

Needless to say, I did not like last night's show.

Amber and Rob's names were both on the list to vote for at the CBS site.

Sorry Rupert is not to your liking but I am so glad you are in the minority on that. :-)
