Yep, you're right Shewho, Rupert has basically played two games back to back.

So, to come this far, to know he has the ability to play a second game against the other seasoned vets, I give him props for managing to stay in the game thus far.

I remember there was some negative press about him between the two episodes...people saying he wasn't very nice & it was all editing that put him in a favourable light in the Pearl Islands but if that's true, why didn't they can him ages ago?

Naturally I'm partial to him...I took his name as my nic but other than Rupert, I'm disappointed with who's left in the game.

Oh well, it'll be done soon.

"it was all editing that put him in a favourable light in the Pearl Islands but if that's true, why didn't they can him ages ago?"
********
They brought up that reason a couple of times during the last episode and TC. Rupert is a big heavy man who can swim well even against the heavy currents....therefore he was the ONLY guy who could bring in FISH. Fish is protein, and these people wanted a steady supply of food.

I am sure that Rupert was not being treated as an equal by the other "group of friends from other seasons". If he was being treated with respect and the same camraderie(sp?) I dont think Rupert would have finally acted out by only cleaning and cooking the ONE FISH.

Once again, I must say, are THESE allstars really playing the game? Keeping a guy around for food? In other seasons the threats were eliminated not kept around for FOOD. LOL

If Rupert actually WINS this season. He will have deserved it, I guess.

I think that Tom taking Rob made sense.. Rob's brother came in second in the contest.. and yes, it would be less comfortable with a happy couple along for the ride, but I think mainly he wanted to keep Rob close while he was away for the night.. so Tom did make the right decision, but it was unfortunate that he felt he had to diss Rupert to the camera..

I also cannot understand why they haven't eliminated Rob when they had chances.. or if they were going after the women, for heaven's sake send Jenna home..

I actually think these survivors have a certain level of respect for Rupert. In the quiz, every one of them put Rupert's name down for who is the most honest.

Demeter--everyone but Rob did--he put himself down as most honest. I looked to see if he had rose colored glasses on--he didn't. I figured it was his hat cutting off the flow of blood to his brain.

Rofl...good one, Lance.

I'd forgotten about that, Demeter :-)

I guess Tom taking Rob with him, he's practising the old adage...keep your enemies close but your 'friends' closer ;)

Tom's strategy also could have been "when the cats away, the mice will conspire!"

In other seasons, when someone gets to spend time away from camp, the other tribemates start doing some serious talking and deal making. TOM won the comp, he had to go! Why not bring Rob and maybe the others left behind would come to their senses?

I think the preview shown for the next show gives us a hint that Big Tom and Rupert are talking about how they must get rid of Rob.

Yeah, Sunshyne... my fingers, my toes, my legs, my eyes... everything's crossed in the hopes that Rob gets the figurative ax next week. It's about time some of those "stoopid people" woke up and realized what's going on with this game. Pretty please, let it be Rob who goes buh bye next week!!! (I hate to say it, but I'd rather see Jenna in the F2 than Rob!)

Next week on Survivor: Fairytale Edition

Rob & Amber are booted in a double IC, leaving Rupert, Tom & Jenna to battle it out for F2.

And the viewing audience is stunned! lol ;)

Part II.. the alien that has been living inside of Jenna all season emerges, makes a tasty meal of the jury, agrees to spare Tom and Rupert, then takes the top prize and leaps into the waiting helicopter, taking Jeffy with her..

The viewing audience is even more stunned!

Fruitbat makes many phone calls.

Pamy makes many phone calls.

I noticed in the question/answer challenge, everyone but Rob said they would most trust Rob with their lives.

Rob said he would most trust Rupert. That spoke volumes to me...

The ICs are what make or break a person @this point: All 3 males left have proven they can win IC's. The 2 females have never won IC's. I would be suprised if either of these women ever win IC. Rob is dragggging Amber along for his own reasons. Rupert is not as happy with being w/Jenna. Tom - well, he's the floater now @ he thinks he has Robfather on his side. So, Bye-Bye to prob. Rupert (unless he wins IC). Otherwise, I think Tom will go.

At this point, I think the only thing to really make the show interesting would be if Rob did get voted off.

I wonder what the teaser is for the finale regarding something shocking and never seen before (or something to that effect?)

It's almost at the point of the series where the IC become more of an endurance ordeal than strictly physical.

Remember how the undeserving Jenna from Panama won two in a row in the home stretch because she could balance better than the others...

ShiiAnn won a challenge that was the same type. If she had been forced to run an obstacle course, swim or some other type of physical challenge, her butt would have been gone before Alicia.

I agree though that Tom made a good choice in picking Rob and Mike, mainly because Mike came in a close second in the gross-thing-eating contest. Of course, it doesn't hurt to keep an eye on the biggest conniver either.

The previews alluded to a confrontation between Tom and Rupert, so it should be interesting to see how that plays out.

Big Tom got the cold potatoes from Rupert in the restaurant reward challenge.

So Big Tom repaid the favor with the cold shoulder!

Women have a better time balancing due to hips and stance. Some of the endurance comps seemed a little swayed to certain individuals.
**
If I recall correctly, Rob, Matt and Jenna were all on a narrow beam and were supposed to balance. Jenna had smaller feet therefore more of a 'foot surface onto beam ratio' than the guys with bigger overhanging feet. Add the female hip stance and I feel the producers set her up to WIN a spot in Final Two.
**
I only hope that the final comp THIS season will be completely fair and not slanted towards any specific individual. After all, can you imagine a final comp where they have to 'construct' something LOL......there'd be an outcry of foul play heard throughout TV land.

Any one remember the episode on Archie Bunker where Gloria showed Mike that women have a 'lower' centre of gravity or something?

She put a dining room chair sideways, next to her. Then she stood against the wall, facing it and backed up two 'feet'...that is to say, she put one foot behind the other then stood that distance from the wall. She then pulled the chair in front of her and leaned (leant?) the top of her head against the wall. Without moving her head she picked up the chair then moved her head up from the wall and backed away.

Mike (Meathead) tried it but no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to move his head from the wall whilst holding the chair.

We tried it ourselves and I must say, for some reason the females could do it and the males couldn't!

Kep421, I was roflmbo when "everyone but Rob said they would most trust Rob with their lives." I thought, if he's able to play them all like this then he deserves the $$. (Tho, I really don't want him to win.)
Rupertbear, the whole family did the chair-thing too, and the men could not do it...lol

Drives the guys NUTS doesn't it?? LOL

The other thing that makes guys crazy is.....Try to break an egg by squeezing in your hand. Many males pride themselves on being able to crumple beercans with their bare hands!! It is amusing to watch the poor creatures trying to squeeze an egg LOL
