Survivor: Pearl Islands *OFFICIAL THREAD*

[gometros]

What's the cutoff for reality Planet? I forgot to do it this week, until now. It's 7:00 EST and the site says the new questions haven't been posted yet?

Hi everyone. I am moving over here from the Cruise Line Board.

Did I miss something? Wasn't everyone talking about getting rid of Rupert tonight? Would have been easy with the coconut thing. Guess I must have gone to the bathroom.

Does anyone know when the last episodes will air? Going on the cruise in 3 weeks and don't want to miss it.

Hi LG123 and welcome - Final Episode airs December 14th according to my sources.

Gometros - I think the cutoff is like 12 noon for RealityPlanet but I'm not sure. I always make sure I do it by Wednesday because I remembered reading something about an early cutoff time.

Tonight was disappointing. I was sorry to see RyanO go even though I was never really a Morgan tribe supporter. I guess I just tend to favor the underdogs. I did like Savage too.

I guess I considered it disappointing because so many different scenarios were suggested and yet when it came to the end, the tribe members were too chicken to make any kind of bold move to actually change anything. I think Rupert is great but if you are going to plot to get rid of him or break up his little trio, then take the bull by the horn and DO IT!! They are afraid of his wrath, however, because, god, he's scary when he's mad!

And with this episode barely over and not really digested yet, I can't help but think of next week's previews with Lil -- and Jon consoling her!!! WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT!!?!?!?!?!

 

[Grog]

I was so glad to see Rupert win immunity. Not only to keep him is the game, but because he really deserved it after giving up his breakfast reward. Too cool! I doubt Rupert will win, but IMHO, he is easily the best Survivor of all seven seasons.

 

[LG123]

Thanks for the welcome.

Could you please let me know when the rest of the episodes will be on. My concern is we will be missing some. We leave for the drive to Florida Thursday 12/4 so I hope that we won't miss much. Do you think they will broadcast is on the cruise 12/11? I just can't miss it!!!

They have talked about getting Rupert off in a couple of the episodes. I would like him to win but don't see that happening.

 

[Liz]

Ugh! I absolutely hated everything about tonight's show!!!

I cannot stand LIL!!!! I don't like her one bit! I didn't dislike her before she was voted out the first time but now I just can't stand her. I really liked Andrew so I know that's part of it. It sure didn't take her long to get over her dislike of lying since she made those comments during the Immunity challenge about her doing all the talking and Burton just listening at breakfast. And seeing her hug creepy Jon, they deserve each other. If Burton, Lillian & Jon are the final three I'll hurl.

I wish Rupert would have given his breakfast to one of the Survivors who really needed the nourishment. I know supposedly Burton & Lillian didn't get much to eat during their period of being an Outcast, but I think those two were the least deserving of the food.

I'm ticked that even "T" and Darrah voted against Ryan and disappointed in Christa talking about voting off Rupert, although I still like her.

I LOVED Ryan and am sad he's gone. I was confused because I thought Andrew was going to be the first member of the jury. Now I'm sad about that.

I take this show way too seriously. The sun will still come up tomorrow.

Ds thinks Lil was sad because she had decided to vote someone off she likes-Burton perhaps? Previews have been small issues
in the past so I'm betting it's no big deal. We were suprised to
see everyone vote for Ryno but the women's pact may have decided that. Rupert needs to keep winning to stay in the game,
that's obvious. Funny that no one wanted to be the one to put
the coconut in Ruperts trough in the game. Are they afraid of him? Interesting.

I missed the first 20 minutes of last night's show. When I came in, Lil and Burton were arriving at the breakfast. I assumed one of them had won the reward challenge and taken the other. What is this about Rupert giving the reward to them? Would someone please re-cap for me? Thanks!

I guess I considered it disappointing because so many different scenarios were suggested and yet when it came to the end, the tribe members were too chicken to make any kind of bold move to actually change anything.

This happens in just about EVERY Survivor!! The only time the Survivors showed a little backbone was when Kathy, Pascal, Neleh, Vee, etc. blindsided John, Tammy, and the others! Which was one of the greatest moments on Survivor history!!


doodle,
Rupert did win the imunity challenge which was a slingshot contest where each Survivor had to use a slingshot and break 3 of their own plates, each time a plate was broke, it lighted a fire and the 3rnd fire set their crow's nest on fire. Rupert won but passed the Reward over to Burton because Burton had given him the Immunity Sword. Burton then chose Lil to go with him to the breakfast.

 

[doodle]

Thanks Pam. That Rupert is quite a guy! I'm getting to the point where I almost hate to watch Survivor because I'm so afraid they're going to vote Rupert off!! Keep winning Rupert!!!

 

[Amy]

Oooh, every week that goes by and that idiot Jon is still around just kills me! They should have voted him off LAST week so he wouldn't be on the jury!!

I really didn't like last night's show - Lillian gives me the creeps. I liked her before she got voted off, but now she's really nasty. And my heart sinks every time they're shown discussing getting rid of Rupert. OUt of all the Survivor shows, Rupert is the most deserving of winning the $1Mil. But as we've seen in the past, the one who most deserves it usually doesn't win. Yet, I can see WHY they want to get rid of Rupert - his strength is a threat. But if they get rid of him, what are they going to eat? Without Rupert, they'll starve. When "the girls" went off to find food last night, did they come back with anything? If they did, the producers didn't show it.

 

[Indyman]

Nobody put the coconuts into Rupert's trough because they are obviously scared of his temper. As much as I'd like to see him go far (from one Indyman to another), if the others want any chance of winning they need to get rid of him.

 

[Tulirose]

Just a quick little note about today's Early Show with Ryan O. Hopefully, kbeverina will come on shortly with her verbatim transcript.

RyanO looked so cute with that smile of his, dressed all in black with a little bit of white T-shirt showing at the neckline and his hair not as short as when Survivor first started but no longer wild and bushy and looking like he just got out of bed as it did on last night's show. It was a little spikey too.

Anyway, two point's I thought were interesting. First was caller had asked about last night's immunity challenge and what the strategy was behind it. Basically, I don't remember a coherent answer other than that they were gunning for him and he couldn't help it. I would liked to have known how he felt, however, about Tijuana being the first one to put the coconut in his bin and then do it a SECOND time too! Traitor!

Second point - As many say, not everything was shown. But RyanO said when asked about Outcast tribe said that once you are voted out, you are out of the game. However, Survivor is a game of twists and M.B. is the master of them and that is why he signed on to be on the show. BUT! He did say something about getting into a heated discussion with Jeff but what's done is done. (Hope kbeverina does do that transcript because I don't remember exact wordings but the definite insinuation to me was that he got angry about the whole premise and let it be known).

Two other points - Evidentally he and Christa really had some problems that weren't shown but he kinda indicated that he was sorry for something that he said in the heat of the moment (must be that ***** comment at voting time during TC). The other point, and no surprise here, he really likes Rupert.

Oh one more important point - He couldn't blame Lillian for the way she voted. Didn't like it, but couldn't blame her. Personally, I totally dislike Lillian and her frowning face all the time!

 

[roque]

luved last nites episode. i guess i am in the minority....i like Lill she found out to stay in gotta be crafty. i didn't like andrew or rhino. and i luv the fact that burton and lill are presenting that they didn't have a good time at breakfast....just wonder if anyone is buying it. i thought it was funny the way rhino smirked at the beginning of tribal counsel and then BANG he was gone. ha ha

my vote for final three rupert, lillian, and burton or sandra

I knew someone else would ask this before I got a chance to post. What was up with that? CBS shows all this conspiracy about voting off Rupert, but when push comes to shove, he's the last to get knocked out of the immunity challenge and wins immunity. I suspect that some of them realize that without Rupert - they don't eat and that may be more important to them.

Rupert is really playing this game to perfection. Given the chance to share the RC or givce it up to someone else, he does the latter, knowing that he already appears too formidable and needing to cultivate some favor - now and for the jury, should he need it.

Unfortunately, we're stuck with Jon until the rest of Morgan is voted off. What will be interesting is if when it comes down to Lil or Jon, will they treat her as part of Drake and get rid of Jon then? I think so. Burton will try to drag Lil along as far as he can.

 

[Kirby]

Was I imagining this last night? I thought I heard Rupert say "Take Lil." when Jeff asked Burton who he was taking with him to breakfast. Did anyone hear that?

 

[always quiet]

I heard it plain as day!! My daughter couldn't figure out WHY Rupert would of given away his breakfast. I told her because he is playing the game honorably! It's nice to see that for a change! I hate when they all start sneaking around and as soon as the other tribe members started to talk about getting rid of Rupert (especially the girls from his tribe), it really irked me!! As they were showing the previews for next week, weren't they all AGAIN plotting against Rupert?

 

[Grog]

Did anyone hear that?

I caught that too.

 

[Grog]

It seems that way, so hopefully that means Rupert is going to be around for a while. We all know that very rarely do the previews give an accurate forecast of what will happen next week.
