Kappy I didn't say that at all...please reread my post. I did use Rupert as an example, since the poster was saying we should vote for him because he "helps people but doesn't get paid for it." My point wasn't about Rupert (beyond stating I'm sure he is underpaid but gets paid), but that isn't the point of the voting or what we were asked to vote for. I thought I was pretty clear about that. I also used Rob as an example, as he works 3 jobs, but you don't see folks saying we should vote for him based on that. Nor should we IMHO. But for Rupert fans, that was absolutely NOT the point of my post. Heck if I was saying that Kappy would I be cyber high fiving Teach for voting for Rupert? (for what I perceive to be the right reasons....because they felt he deserved to win, not because he needed the money). Hope this clarifies it.

Oh don't worry, Caycaye, it was just a knee-jerk reaction to the beginning of the reunion show. In fact, there's still 4 min. to go here. Did anyone really doubt who I would vote for?

Jeff Probst just said "you can vote for any one of the All Stars, you can vote for any reason you think appropriate" I'm voting for Rupert.. like I said, he's the ONLY one to do a back to back of two seasons and was the only one from the last season so he didn't come in with 17 other friends.. he just came and played, played it straight, worked hard .. and I like him ..

Pamy, that's cool.. I adore Rudy, but I suspect he has a couple of decent retirement incomes, plus social security and didn't he write a book and get money from speaking? I figure Rupert has a kid to educate too.. but I could see voting for Rudy too.. he's great.. I loved the way he corrected Jeff tonight that NO, I wouldn't have backstabbed, etc., but would worry about what I would DO to the ones who did it.. too funny.. ANd Rob got one vehicle and married another..LOL And giving Rob a mill would also give Amber ANOTHER mill and I'll bet that Amber and Jenna and some others will also rake in Playboy money.. I hope they put up their clips before I leave town.. my voting time will be drastically shortened..

You know, I think just about every Survivor has their strengths and weaknesses. I'd like to point out that of all 18 to not be talked to OR have their face on screen for even a minute was Rob C.

I thought it was hysterical that Jenna began talking almost instantly on hearing about the voting. She went right into game playing mode.

I don't think Alicia was talked to in the finale either and I was glad of that. Lurk, yes, I don't think the general public could ever be capable of fair voting and I'm glad they don't have the option. Otherwise, we would have a show full of Ethans(nice as he is). Yawn....

Is it "which Survivor would you most like to give a million bucks to?" or "Which Survivor is your personal favorite?" NOPE...it's "Who deserved to win the million dollars on Survivor All-Stars." I don't think anyone is misreading the question. Some people have the opinion that Rupert did not deserve to win the million dollars, so they will interpret this question differently than people that believe that Rupert deserved to win the million. I greatly admire Rupert's game playing style. I love that he believes and practices that you don't have to hurt the other tribe in order to win. He was hardworking, loyal to his tribe and alliances and he hung in there after back to back seasons. He is not perfect, but his heart is fully in the game and I think he is the most deserving Survivor ever. I wish that we could all only vote once, but since the option is there to vote multiple times I will continue to put in votes for Rupert.

I thought it was also a hoot when Jenna got all excited aobut the votes, thinking that she lost by a foot slip and Jeff overrode her and said "You would have LOST Jenna".. because Shii-Ann would have voted for Rob if he was up with Jenna.. The inexplicable one for me was Kathy, after ranting and raving and spilling guts all over then she goes back to "I love you" and votes FOR Rob. I understand Jenna and Rupert voting for Rob .. because as they showed in a clip tonight, Rob said to Amber, Jenna and Rupert.. "final four and then every man for himself" and they all agreed. And sure enough they were final four, so I see why they voted for Rob. And I see why the others didn't. I wonder if Kathy still "needs" Rob's friendship and thus went his way anyway. Or did she think Amber was playing Rob?

Lance, thank you for mentioning Rob C. He definitely got the short end of the stick tonight. At one point, he was even motioning like, Hey, they haven't talked to me yet. That was a complete bummer. My son (15) likes him alot. He played an awesome game his first time around (they knew it, and voted him off early.) As to my opinion on Rupert. This game is called "Survivor". Those people out there would not have "survived" if it weren't for Rupert. Not only is he a survivor in his own right. He is a provider as well... and loved doing it on top of it all.

I think Jerri had a couple of valid points as well---it si a TV show, and the point is to entertain. Characters are created by MB--although created based upon what they give him. It's also true that the characters are people. They were both valid points booed by the audience before she could even get a sentence out. They don't have to like what she said, although her points were correct non the less. Rob C and Rob M could have been an interesting F2. If we want comedy, Rupert and Tom wold have been provided a lot of laughs. Both had a great approach to the game that fit their lives.

I dunno. Didn't Jerri whine and complain about reality tv when she did Surreal Life? Who is dragging this poor woman in front of the cameras time and time again?

Hmmm... if I voted on just emotion, I think I'd vote for Rob C. since I enjoyed him so much on his first show. He wasn't there long enough this time to be entertained by him. Oh yeah, and he's an alumni of my DD's college. I have to admit, I was not a super Rupert fan during either the Pearl Islands nor the first half of Allstars. I DID start liking him much more toward the end and I would have liked to see him make it to the final two. The reason I'll vote for him is because he had just come off one Survivor and went straight to another which he did even better far as placement. After his shelter fiasco, he did seem to play better and always worked hard. If Rob and Ambuh weren't together, maybe I'd consider voting for him on game play alone, since basically, everyone handed the two of them the game almost from the beginning. They all had their chances to vote off the "power couple" and they didn't do it. Not good strategic play. My DH has said several times, the women should have started voting off the men when they had the majority, but they didn't take that oppotunity either. Anyhoo - my point was - Rob got the vehicle, got the girl and she got the money. I don't feel too sorry for him. What surprised me was, how I liked the way both Rob and Amber looked on the show better, than "cleaned up". Rob had some funny hair going on there and I almost didn't recognize Amber. I think the "natural look" really suited her, instead of all the makeup. I'd have to say she's the exception of most everyone, since they all looked great "after." She also seemed a lot sweeter on the show than she did at the reunion. I noticed her doing some eye-rolling on people's comments, one specifically directed at Rob. So.... since Rupert made it to the final 4, played 2 games back to back, kept his word, worked hard.. yadda yadda.. I'm going to vote for him since I haven't always been that emotionally found of him.

Anyone watching the early show? Just saw part of it and they were talking to Boson Rob about how he felt about the jury last night, looked like he really was sorry for how he treated people etc etc. Rob basically said the he really didn't feel that way but said what he had to, to get the vote. He really wanted to tell Tom that Tom should vote for me because "dumba..." you have done everything else I told you to do all season." In my opinion both Ambur and Rob (mostly Rob) true character is coming out on this interview = i.e. he really does have a mean spirit. The game is over, why does he continue to be nasty to the others????? He could have gone a long way in redeeming himself to me if he did say that he played the game but was sorry on a personal level about hurting his friends. And Please I am not saying Lex is right in the way he is acting cause I don't feel that way. LOL

I was surprised they didn't talk to Rob or ALicia at the reunion. I am glad they are having the extra show, I have always wanted the reunions to last longer than 1 hr.

Just tuned in late to the Early Show, and didn't see Alicia. Did they mention where she was? BTW, I LOVED her comments at the Live Show last night. Sorry Jeff didn't talk to her and Rob C more. She was a HOOT!

I think Rob is generally a good guy- he was playing to win and on a personal level he was playing "too" hard. But I do believe when he was made aware of how hurt people were, I think it was genuine remorse. That or he's a great actor. I didn't like Amber during the reunion. I didn't like her eye-rolling at some of the other people's comments and she came across to be as sort of an blank slate. Much different that she came across on the show. Too smug or something. I think Rob would have come across a lot more appreciative if he had won. And I do think he deserved to win because between the two of them, he was the one who was putting himself out there every week. That said, the announcement of the winner was a bit boring. As Jeff said, it really doesn't much matter because they both have new cars and they both have a lot of money (2nd place isn't exactly pocket change for most people, especially put with 1st place winnings). The reunion show itself I thought was great. I liked Shii-ann's "Glass houses" comment, and I thought Lex still was a sore loser. Especially trying to justify what he did as being okay but what Rob did as being the worst thing ever. I think Jenna looks soooo much nicer without the makeup. Alicia too. They both look better on the show looking natural. When Jenna came back for the final vote, her lip gloss was distracting and it was just too much. I didn't even recognize her on the reunion Live segment because she looked so much better with the subtle makeup. Alicia had less on then too- but I think she's beautiful no matter what. I love her. It's amazing how different they all look by the reunion. Well, most of them. Amber looks better now on the Early Show than she did last night- again, less makeup. Rob looks nice with his face flled out- healthier. Jenna looks great. Rupert looks like Rupert

I don't recall, but I'm sure someone does. I know it's a good amount, and combined with Amber's million- those two are a pretty rich couple right now. Wonder where they'll live once they get married...

Jenna M just broke my heart when asked about her mom. Her eyes teared up. Remember, this was Mother's day too. I didn't get the crowd boo'ing Jerri at all. Didn't really understand the point she was trying to make, but didn't think she deserved the treatment. I felt sorry for her too. I didn't get Big Tom's anger at all. I have to admit, I'm a sap..loved the proposal. I thought Sue looked great. Looked like a better version of herself, not a completely different person.

Okay, I found a little snippet about Survivor Africa where it says the runner up gets $100,000 and the first out gets $2,500. I think I read at one point that they upped it for ASS though. Less than I actually thought, but hey, I'd be happy to make $100,000 in 39 days. It'll take me a few years to make that!
