OK now, who deserves it? I think several people deserve it. Rudy, Rupert, Jenna (yes Jenna), Big Tom, and Kathy. And rightfully so. With that being said, I hope that Rupert wins it. And if Rupert doesn't, then I hope Rudy does. What do y'all think?

I think who ever gets it deserves it. I think it should be based on who outwits,out- plays and out thinks the others. I'm glad Amber/Rob won the money and 2 cars. Who ever wins Thursday, will deserve it.

Rupert is a person who picked a career that helps people but doesn't get paid for it. He works as a vocational and clinical mentor for troubled teens. Other people are nurses, firemen, policemen, and especially teachers! Rupert showed heart and earned respect by working hard on both Survivors. Rupert deserves a million dollars!

I wish they would have worded the question differently on the website. Throw the word "deserve" in it and everyone goes nuts because deserve is so subjective.

EXACTLY Azlen! But as I said in the other thread (and will repeat part here since it's far more on topic), the CBS thread asks us to vote for "Who deserved to win the million dollars on Survivor All-Stars." So I think their INTENTION was clear--to let America vote for the Survivor we feel deserved to win the game. Sadly, some chose to turn it into a popularity contest. I too wish they were both more clear about it, and set it up so you had to register and every person could only vote once.

Just because some of us like Rupert and vote for him, does not mean we are only voting for him because we like him. I happen to think Rupert DOES deserve to win. He worked hard throughout his stay, it seems as though he managed to stay true to to himself, his alliance and the other players liked him. He was at a disadvantage going into the game, he didn't know any of the others personally, all the others knew one another. He also did back to back survivors, so he was at a disadvantage "for him" physically, because he didn't have time to rest up. I don't like the way Rob played the game, so I don't think he deserved to win. We all can have different reasons why we think one deserves it more than the other, but that doesn't mean our reasons are wrong or that we are only voting based on popularity.

WELL SAID DEMETER!!!!! It has LONG been said by many a "good" Survivor, that you must back-stab to win...so how else could Rupert win $1million unless WE give it to him.... EVERYONE knows who worked the hardest for the WHOLE time. NO ONE disputed Rupert's work ethic and competitive spirit...and he has CHARACTER... RUPERT DESERVES THIS MONEY!!!!

LOL Demeter...I take it you haven't been following the reasons folks (for the most part) have posted on who they are voting for and why in the show thread. Most are based on personality and popularity not who deserved to win and some criteria why. I actually loved Rupert last go round and do believe he was at a big disadvantage this time. But I also (and this is just my opinion, same way folks have their on Rob that I don't agree with lol) think that he was no where near as much fun this time, and didn't really have a good strategy or control the game at any time. I think he's probably a great guy in real life, but that wasn't the question. Wonder when they are putting up the tapes of each player saying why they think they deserve to win...that should be interesting. Wonder if Jerri came back for it LOL.

Deserve is subjective. Anyone can come up with a valid reason for their favorite to win, as anyone can come up with a reason for someone else not to win. My favorite deserves to win because they are my favorite and that's good enough for me.

Well as I posted in another thread, Survivor reunion ended here just 15 min ago and Jeff Probst looked into the camera and told us to vote for whoever we want and for whatever reason we want..

I wondered if they had updated the website yet and is this the true vote? Hawaii hasn't seen it yet and it would seem unfair for them to put that on the site before everyone knows the outcome.

I just watched what Jeff said again, and he did NOT say anything about who deserves to win the money. He just said that the viewers can vote for who they WANT to have the money. He said you can vote for any reason you think is appropriate. On the CBS site, it says "deserved", but that is not the way you have to vote, so... GO RUPERT!!!

Owl, you are correct that Jeff said it could be for any reason. I think that covers "who deserves it" as a number of folks will have a different definition of what "deserving" is--or to say, the reason we vote the way we decide. I think that is what makes this game so interesting. Just like the issue of 'where we draw our lines" as far as what's acceptable play, we also draw our lines on what is termed "deserving".

I think Rupert is a lock, he was at 91% before tonights show. I sure hope he stays there. I voted for him tonight. While he didn't win a lot on ASS, his charm and character won the hearts of a lot of us fans. He was the only one who had very little time to recover from Pearl Islands. I think he was just pooped out. Us Rupie fans don't care, we just want him to win and win big.

I don't understand how anyone can think that Kathy deserves it. She played a crappy game, making crappy alliances and crappy decisions. She deserved to lose the million in my opinion. I don't think Rudy did anything to deserve to win the million either. He MIGHT have, if he hadn't had the crappy luck of hurting his foot, but we will never know. I wonder how many more times I can use the word crappy in a sentence for the rest of the day. My whole ASS finale experience was in a word - Crappy!

I just listened to all the pleas from the survivors.. let's see what I remember.. Alicia and Kathy both say they really know how to play and they are straight and honest so vote for me.. and Kathy says half the money will go to her foundation.. Jerri refused to participate. Amber looked embarrassed and said how can I ask for more but hey, vote for me Rob said anyone can tell he should have won but there were sour grapes on the jury so gimme da money. Lex says he's the best, two seasons and if he gets it he and his wife thank you. Rudy says if he gets it he is giving it to his kids so THEY can deal with all the moochers because Rudy had to deal with that last time and he hates that.. Sue says SHE got us hooked in season one and if we don't give her the money we should rot in the desert, etc, etc.. Richard says they all deserve it and all are great people, the happy ones and the unhappy, but he's the best so give it to him Ethan says he doesn't need it but will give it all to charities chosen by each of them.. Jenna M says she doesn't need it but if she got it she'd give it all to breast cancer research. Tom says he spent more days in two seasons than anyone else and lost weight and learned to swim and his family deserves it. Jenna L talked so fast it made my teeth hurt and said we should give it toher because she has twins and bla bla but she knows Rupert will win and she wants him to win because he's her friend and she betrayed him so give it to Rupert and she knows that unless all the hippy tie dye southern pot smokers can't get online he'll win.. Cesternino says he is still the best player never to win in two seasons and if we give it to him he will Give half to Rupert Take Big Tom to lunch. Rupert is very humble says his daughter is turning five, they need help, his mama needs help and mostly he wants to help the kids in his program and he's starting another kids program and it would go there.. says so many people in Indianapolis would benefit, but said he feels thankful just to have a third chance and no matter what loves everyone out there.. That's fifteen.. Ah Colby says he should get it because he was true to his alliance and gave away the million.. says he hasn't lost sleep over it for four years but he'll sleep better if we give it to him Tina says she already got hers, doesn't need it and says give it to someone who promises to give it away. One more... Shii-Ann.. well hers was sort of like Kathy and Alicia.. basically because she knows how to play the game and was the last Mogo-Mogo and won immunity, etc. But of course, go listen to them they are in three sets with a commercial ahead of each.. in the insider area.

Video pleas are up on Survivor Insider. Here are direct links to the RealPlayer versions: clip 1 clip 2 clip 3 Jerri's plea is my favorite. Rob C's is funniest and Ethan's is most PC.
