chapera all discussing their loss. robm says it's day 12 and they have to start playing the game now. robc says it was frustrating, and that was not their best puzzle building team. if he were in it they would have won. he wants them to see that they need him. amber telling tom they need to get rid of robc. tom doesn't think they need to get rid of him. he thinks they would have won if robc was playing. he thinks robc's brain is better than alicia's. alicia says she likes robc but he might feel that he is on the chopping block. alicia feels nervous 'cause no one is talking to her. robc wants to get rid of alicia before sue. robm says him, amber and robc can do that. they shake on it. robc doesn't know how good robm's word is, but he has a deal with him. robm says that either robc, sue, or alicia will be going home. he hasn't made up his mind yet, but when he does that's the person that will be going home.

asks tom is it tougher physically. he says yes. robc says no doubt this game is much harder. this is allstar, this is what we signed up for. amber thinks she's good at controlling her temper, there are others that have that problem. jeff asks who she says alicia and robm. they say they only fought once. sue says this loss will make them stronger. jeff asks tom if he sees relationships forming. tom says there may have been some grinding going on the other night. jeff asks robm who he is sleeping with. amber says i'm 25, i'm young.. .having fun. tom says i'm 48, old... watching and having fun. alicia says those two are extremely close. you can't get inbetween the two of them. they both say they are there to play the game. they are committed to the game. tom is basing his vote on making the tribe stronger. amber says robm has a big mouth and needs to keep his mouth shut. sue is worried it could be her. she says she can be a b*tch to be around sometimes. she doesn't go around sucking up to people and being something she is not. robc up first...alicia (he feels the next time he sees her there will be a big finger wagging in his face.) sue... tom... alicia...robc (you're a great guy, and funny but we need seriousness) robm amber

on the next survivor... rupert gets a shot at redemption when they have to build a raft. tom is drunk. tribes face first big twist of the game. robc is disappointed that he didn't have a chance to get in the game. he feels he was targeted unfairly. it's going to take a little while to swallow this one.

Hard to get into this episode. I knew RobC was going and felt a bit depressed by that. A few observations. Mogo Mogo (green) is living on the same beach as Drake - apparently only a few hundred yards from where Drake's camp was. Just like Drake they have terrific fishing. I'm not sure how good eel tastes, but I know I'd be looking forward to all that food living out there. I wonder why they put one of the best spear fisherman on the beach with the best opportunity to fish? Things that make me go hmmm....? RobM is using the exact same strategy he used during Marquesas. Find a pretty girl, who's not a type 'A', goes with the flow, who you can flirt with and ally with - two votes for the price of one. Notice RobM was placed on the tribe with the only female cast on S8 that fits that bill. Another thing about S8 that makes me go hmmm....? While Rupert can be an opinonated bully that pushes people around - he is quick to admit to his mistakes and apologize. Didn't take him long to admit that shelter was a terrriiiibbbbllllleeee idea. Of course the monsoon they experienced over night sure helped to point out the design flaw. LOL. Looks like Rupe and E did a bang up job whipping up a new pad. I know Jerri was the one everyone loved to hate during Survivor Australia - but I felt really bad for her after that storm. I'm suprised she didn't quit. Good for her for sticking it out until she felt better. Over at SS Wezzie and QE posted they were in Panana near the filming during this storm. They said it was unbelivable severe and were sure they rescued the contestants that night (apparently not). I think the camera men bugged out because there wasn't really any film of severe weather - just gentle rain and the evidence of lots of precipitation. I think the boom mikes they carry would have endangered them during the lighting.

Oh, how disappointing that RobC didn't have the sense to target Amber. It would've been a lot easier to convince the other 3 that she was the most expendable and that it would keep Boston Rob from having too much power. He knew all this according to what he said in that Insider video clip from the first week. Why didn't he do anything about it? I thought for sure that when Probst made a point of referring to Amber as Rob's "wife" the others would get the picture.

i thought robc should of targeted amber too. it was his only chance really. rupert admits when he is wrong and apologizes???? sorry but that really cracked me up.... he did this when he nearly killed off his tribe by drowning in his handy dandy shelter. just too much. lol listening to jerri make some sense and not dig a hole would of been much better for rupert to do. of course ethan could of acted like a man and spoken up to how he really thought it should of been built. speaking of ethan he was a bit snippy at the challenge. was he trying to be funny? he shouldn't try to be funny he comes up short. loved watching lex in the challenge. he kept missing the puzzle pieces. LOL too funny!

I felt sorry for Jerri, too. She showed a different side of herself. Rupert made a mistake and fixed it. I liked that about him.

Upstate---Rupert apologized the day of the shelter judging when he saw that the judge didn't like it.

What I saw was Rupert apologizing to the others about the shelter after the judge HATED it....but did he immediately begin to tear it apart to rebuild??? No, he did not. It was so sad seeing his tribe members sitting out in the rain, getting hypothermic. The Reward parachute was dropped during daylight that day...they KNEW they hadnt won so I am confused why they didnt try to make a decent shelter for the night. ** I LOVED Robfather calling out "HEY Prettyboy" and Ethan looked up. Everyone laughed when Ethan actually 'answered back'!! Ethan sure did sound snippy Upstate! That was Hilarious! ** On another thought, I am sooooo surprised at the lack of threads and discussion occurring here in the Survivor Allstar area. I know that I personally am proceeding with caution due to too many spoilers last year in this area instead of SPOILERS section. I miss all the usual posters! There sure are many 'missing in action'.

I watched the insider clip about Rupert. It clearly showed Jenna and Jerri sleeping in the shelter while Rupert was out collecting food and Ethan tended the fire. Also, Jenna actually stated at the IC (the one where Jenna from Mogo Mogo left) that the "...shelter was working out..." It doesn't appear that any of the Soboga tribe members felt the shelter needed a do over before the hard rains. I listened to Rupert state (not sure if any other tribe members were with him or if it was just the cameraman) that the shelter was a mistake...a terrible horrible mistake. He too was as cold, wet, miserable and down as the others, yet he immediately began to try to make things better for his tribe. His sole intent that day was to make his tribe as comfortable as he could and to try and make up for his mistake. Ethan was the only one who joined in to help. Jerri didn't even want to know what was going on, until after Rupert/Ethan did all the work, then she wanted to make it "better". The insider clip also had a bit with Rupert one on one. Rupert stated that (according to his tribe members) no one in his tribe can make fire, collect water, cook...and that basically he was doing the food gathering and the camp duties. Jenna and Jerri remind me a bit of the mall rats from the Africa show. Rupert may be rough around the edges, and may offend the sensibilities of some, but I think he's like the rest of us. He does the best he can with what he's got.

I felt bad for them out in the rain- Jerri looked so miserable. But you know what- if she knew it was such a bad idea to build the shelter that way- she could have tried a little harder to make her case. She, and everyone else, had some responsibility for the shelter being such a joke. There really isn't anyone I don't like this season and I like that. I also like taht they know eachother because of the interactions. The pretty boy comment (teehee), the comment from Sue to Richard about him having nothing to give her- lots of joking. I like it. Lex reminds me of this guy I know. I never realized it before but it's his bright eyes and the way his forehead crinkles when he smiles. Also a little bit of the hair but my friend's is blond. I felt bad for Rob C. He looked like he was going to cry. He was a bad choice to vote off. i agree Amber would have been the best choice in terms of most expendable. Why Alicia? Was he voting based just on who he liked the least? And I think it's interesting that Sue wasn't shown consulting or plotting with anyone. I wonder how involved she really is in decision making that they aren't showing us. Last though- where was everyone last night? Usually when i come here on a Friday morning there's a few pages/archives of comments!!

RobC voted for Alicia because he thought he had the best chance of rallying RobM and Amber against Alicia. He said Sue was the real outcast of their group. If you watch the insider clips you will also learn that everyone else rallied against RobC because they didn't want a wheeler dealer that would easily betray them still in the game down the line. Every person had a really well thought out strategy for voting the way they did. As much as I'll miss RobC, I think they made a good decision in their own respective self interests. It's funny how the Insider shows one 60 sec clip of Jerri and Jenna lying down and they are branded lazy. God help any of us who ever lay down. LOL! Shows once again the power of editing. Speaking of editing - why are some folks 'missing' from this show? We see next to nothing of Sue, except at challanges. Shii-ann, one of my all time favs, only makes an occasional appearance in the background. Ethan - although visible, isn't really shown doing anything, just standing there. Colby has nearly disappeared - I caught one glimpse of his overly white teech during the IC when he knocked Tom over - that's about it for him. Come on CBS - your wasting this fun and great characters!

I don't know why Rob C didn't try to get the others to vote either Rob M or Amber, to break up the twosome. Everyone in the tribe knows they are a couple so the way one votes is the way the other will be voting. I would have gotten rid of one of those two to break that up. Amber would have been best choice as they Rob M is good at the challenges.

Actually it wasn't the laying down part that made me see a resemblance between the mall rats and Jenna/Jerri. It was more the complaining and helpless attitude. I mentioned the clip of them laying down in the shelter to bolster the thought that they were using the shelter before the heavy rains hit. And just for the record, this old timer doesn't "brand" anyone...be it contestant or fellow TVCHer..

I think that one reason there are not as many posts now as during previous Survivor seasons is that there are 3 tribes but the show is still only an hour. With everyone squeezed into 2 tribes, we saw more of each individual player. Discussion is bound to pick up. Did it look like (from the previews) that they will become 2 tribes next week? I loved the challenge with the blind folds! Lex...too funny! I really felt bad for Tom (compare to Omarosa on the Apprentice, can you imagine!), he sure took some hard knocks. Ethan's personality on this Survivor is really coming off in a different way compared to his previous show, not so friendly or good guy this time. Oh, I so enjoyed Rob C's wheeling and dealing last time. I wish he was still there. Knowing about his game play though, I would've voted him off as well. I do like how Jeff was trying to point out the Boston Rob/Amber connection. I think Jeff wanted Rob C to stick around too. Seems he really got a kick out of Rob C last time. Alicia is a pretty strong player especially physically. I would want to keep her around. Rob C should've done more to help out around camp. I read (by Jeff Varner (previous Survivor) perhaps?) that Rob C went all over the country saying he was the best Survivor player ever. I wonder if he came into this game overconfidant and couldn't overcome that.
