Oh that's wonderful!!! I'm on vacation but one of the people where I'm staying is a Survivor fan and very pro-Rupert (as is EVERY person I know who watches but isn't overinvolved as I am..)

But I'd better not let on that I know

Ok well no big shock here...except maybe Big Tom being in final four lol. Congrats to the Rupert gang who wanted this so. (I still say the most deserving for game play is Rob, but the most deserving if this is a popularity contest won...so be it).

Now I have but one question...where the heck is Vanuatu??? Is it anywhere near any place I might have ever heard of? World map anyone? LOL

BTW am I the only one who was stunned to hear Jeff say he is an ordained minister?!?! He didn't sound like he was kidding to me.

Anyone can become an ordained minister (or that's how I remember it from the 70's and 80's).

There are some religious groups where it doesn't take much more than being a member to become an ordained minister.

LOCATION & GEOGRAPHY: Vanuatu is a chain of 13 large islands and about 60 small islets in the South West Pacific Ocean while the largest islands are Espiritu Santo, Malekula and Efate. Most of the islands are of volcanic origin, rugged and mountainous, and contain extensive rain forests with cultivated narrow strips of land along the coasts. Some other islands are of coral atoll formation or almost atoll types while the archipelago also has three active volcanoes on Tanna, Ambrym and Lopevi islands. Major Cities (pop. est.); Vila 19,400, Santo 6,900 (1989). Land Use; forested 75%, pastures 2%, agricultural-cultivated 12%, other 11% (1993).

Did they give the percentage of vote that Rupert won by? Not that it matters, just curious.

i'm an ordained minister too. it's easy to do it over the internet. then all you have to do is go to the county clerk and get registered to marry people in that county.

Allietex....not a percentage, they just said he had over 38 million votes. I'm betting it was a "runaway"...but that may be because I'm terribly biased since "my" pick won! LOL

Loved seeing Colby up as the first of the four. If it were truly based on DESERVING, I think he would have won hands down.

Loved seeing how it effected Big Tom so emotionally to be one of the final four.

Rupert? Not only deserving but extremely popular for a reason.

I love how these three handled being in the final four.

Then came Rob and gee, no shock there . . . With his usual whine, he still feels the need to announce that he DESERVES it more then Rupert. Notice he didn't mention that he deserved it more then Colby.

Am I happy with the win? Heck, I would have been happy to see Colby or even Big Tom win. Why? Because they truly appreciated the audience for putting them there.

And last, I loved the fact that Rupert's wife kept mouthing "Thank You" to the audience.

Guys I know how easy it is to get ordained...my point was I was just really surprised that Jeff WAS. Am I the only one?

And pretty please could we please put a fork in this deserving thing?! We clearly all have our own criteria for it. The horse is dead and the check written. What I must say I find ironically humorous is the amount of hatred that is directed at Rob for allegedly not being a nice person. Go figure. At least he was playing a game when he behaved that way. And with that observation, I--at least--am done discussing what constitutes deserving and am happy for Rupert's success even though he was not my choice. Actually the only one of the final 4 I would have not been pleased about taking home the mil is Big Tom cause I personally don't think he did much to earn it game wise or personality wise...JMHO.

PS thanks for the Island info and mostly the map. Wonder if Fiji is as close to Hawaii as it looks. I have free plane tickets there I've been thinking of using. Hmmmmm. Survivor becomes educational at last lol.

Well that was a lot of fun to watch. Jeff handled the show well. I was happy to see that he let Jerri talk and at the same time really nailed down his perspective on the show and didn’t let her get away with a lot of sour grapes. I even liked the choices for the final four though it’s too bad that the other three didn’t get something for being in the final four. It was good to hear that Colby is doing well. Big Tom actually looked touched that he received some votes. Rupert was Rupert and Rob was Rob. What more can you say – either you enjoy them or you don’t. I seem to be in a fairly unique category in that I enjoy both of them for different reasons.

I hope that Rob and Amber can make it together as a couple. Regrettably, a lot of people seem to be looking for signs of problems and even hoping that they fail. It’s hard to understand why people would feel that way - is it vindictiveness or envy or something else? They may have a tough road ahead.

I was happy with Rupert’s win and congratulations to all his enthusiastic supporters out there. One special moment in the show that really stood out for me was when they showed his little girl earlier in the show (well before when it was announced that he had won). The look of pride and adoration that she had for her Dad was really special and something that a million dollars could never buy.

LOL nevermind about the islands being close...just saw the scale in the top left corner. Objects are NOT as close as they appear! Bummer.

And Jimmer, some folks seem to have such a dislike of Rob (why they like Amber more then is beyond me, but I don't get the Rob thing either LOL), that they seem to want to ruin the happiness, and find problems where I'm not seeing any. I don't get it, but they sure seem like the real deal. Certainly closer to it than we've seen on any dating TV show IMHO (Trista and Ryan not withstanding )

Oh, my gosh, Vanuatu is right in the middle of what I had planned as my DREAM vacation many years ago, like 35. I wanted to go to the Solomans and New Caledonia. I did the research and learned that air fare alone would have been more than $5,000.00. That was a LOT of money 35 years ago and way beyond my means.

New Cledonia and the Solomans are primarilly english speaking countries. Not far from the Marshall islands which had/has a huge U.S. influence.

I WANNA GO TOO !!

I was thrilled that Rupert won! He's such a breath of fresh air- a real person, not movie star pretty. (I watched the Bachelor last night and haven't got the ick out of my system yet!) Full of flaws, but sincere and loveable. It's wonderful to witness someone having a key moment in their lives- it wouldn't have been the same for the other three.

I've never got the appeal of Big Tom- I think he's something that I would get moderated for saying. Watching the feather-in-the-buttcrack-dance again was not what I was hoping for on this show! (Actually, the other fuzzy spot moment I was not keen to see again was the sticks and twigs stripping for pb and chocolate scene, not my fav!) I never got the appeal of Rudy either- he's someone I wouldn't see eye to eye with in real life.

So Jeffie is an ordained minister- no, Lurk, you are not the only one, it freaked me out too. You, know, he REALLY doesn't like Jerri, that was clear. He was some pissed off at her comments to TV Guide. (I think it was TV guide?)

I was surprised that the sexy men thing included Gervase, but not Shawn from Marquesas who I seem to recall was quite appealing. Can you only have one black guy? Actually, I agree with Amber that Boston Rob was HOT this last season, so I voted for him. Not that I like him, but he was hot.

I enjoyed the show tonight if for no other reason then, this will probably be one of the last times we see some of these people.
After watching them in two different Survivor's shows, they get to be like old friends.
It hit me tonight that there will be no Survivor next thursday night!
Come on September!

Well, that also could be a good thing, Makays. Some of us have Big Brother addictions to deal with in the summer that just don't leave time for Survivor!
