Survivor: Pearl Islands *OFFICIAL THREAD*

[chell]

Well I don't have a clue Robin because I've missed a few shows too.

This evening I missed about the first 20 minutes of the show! GGRRRRR!!!! My dish went out on the "local" channels.

Robin,
It was Burton's idea to throw the challenge and get rid of Jon. He approached Rupert and Rupert was outraged that Burton, Michele, and Trish wanted to throw a challenge - he [Rupert] privately said that they were a team - pirates didn't throw challenges.

That's why Rupert sat out the one challenge - which Morgan ultimately won and of course they [Morgan] got to "kidnap" a member of the opposite tribe for 3 days and chose Rupert.

 

[Pam]

Forgot to say that I think it was Jon they wanted to vote out after the thrown challenge - but it may have been Christa.......

Rupert was mad at Shawn and Burton for making fun of him for wearing a dress, too.

It's ironic that Lil was the one who cast the deciding vote tonight, breaking the old tribe lines. I'd say she got her revenge!

I loved it when Andrew asked her to come to him when she made her decision, and she reminded him about how he was supposed to come to her before she was voted off and he didn't. The look on his face was priceless. He knew right then that he was gone.

 

[Dax]

Can someone PM with what happened please...i was at work and missed it tonight

 

[Pam]

Andrew did get his ........ but I felt a little sad for him - I will never forget him standing there with all of that weight on his shoulders.

And I can't believe Lil said SOB!! (I'm the Mom of an Eagle Scout.)

 

[DISshopkeeper]

I'm never gonna go on Survivor. Didja notice the night-time pics of Lil? She looked ANCIENT. It was reminding me of the wicked witch in Hansel and Gretal (sp?).

I love this season. Loved the surprise merge. Loved the Outcast thing. I was so confused at why Lil and Burton were participating in the immunity challenge. I thought that CBS changed their mind about their immunity.

I love it after the merge. The game takes on such a different personality.

 

[AlexandNessa]

I don't like Lil anymore. I think she was dumb to not vote along Morgan lines to get Jon out -- then Morgan would've had an advantage going forward. Right now, she only has Burton, and only Burton can't carry her much farther. She might make it past Darah, Ryan, and Tijuana, but she'll go no further than that.

 

[Grog]

The one thing that might be going in Lil's favor is that by the time they get around to voting her off, the Immunity Challenges start becoming more mentally, rather than physically, oriented. She might not beat Burton or Rupert in a phsical challenge, but in a mental one she might just pick up a key immunity or two when she needs them most.

Loved tonight's show; was surprised by the merge and was glad that Morgan got to eat!

I HATE Jon! His cocky, smarmy attitude makes me want to slap his bleached blonde locks....His stupid two finger thing makes him look like the moron he is...DORK!

It was interesting that Lil was the deciding factor...she DID look ancient in those night shots- yikes! Poor Andrew- he was good for his team, but I didn't like his "misfits" comments...not nice.

I thought Rupert was so cool how he approached Burton, laid it out on the line, and then was over it. Very gentlemanly.

Once again, can't wait til next week! I am a Survivor junkie!

My thoughts for final 3- Rupert, Christa and Burton

 

[Planogirl]

I couldn't really blame Lil for being angry with Andrew. He did promise to come to her and he never did. She was probably correct that they would have voted her off again given the chance. Hopefully, she can move on now and forget the past vote like Burton seems to have.

 

[Grog]

She was probably correct that they would have voted her off again given the chance.

Yes they would have. At the end of last weeks episode, Andrew said that whichever Outcast joined them, they would be voted out at next tribal council. One of the Morgan tribe reminded him that they would have immunity and he kind of muttered something that made me think he had forgot that part.

 

[Annie&Hallie'sMom]

Really loved yesterday's episode, although I couldn't understand why Lil & Burton got to participate in the immunity challenge. Although I thought it very cool that Burton gave his immunity to Rupert. Good way to mend fences. And I loved how Andrew wanted Lil to tell him how she would vote and she got sweet revenge.

One thing that annoyed me (slightly) is that in TV Guide it said that one of the tribes would be hosting a wedding??? (I figured it was a local celebration thing), but I never saw that. What was TV Guide talking about???

 

[Gretel]

If they don't get rid of Jon next week I am gonna punch my hand through the tv and get rid of him myself. He is a totally loser.

Go Rupert!!!!!

 

[Kirby]

Did you notice Jon's face as Jeff was counting the votes? He was smirking at the beginning but as his name kept coming up the smirk didn't last long. He probably knows that his time there is short unless he can pull something off like get rid of Rupert, which the trailers were alluding to last night.

I thought it was so funny that while Andrew was talking to Lil, Rupert was standing a ways behind him shaking his head at her.

I was actually rooting for Andrew to win immunity last night. I wonder who would have been voted off if he had. Jon? Or maybe one other of the Morgan tribe. Oh, well, we'll never know now.

Burton won only by a hair.

Didn't Rupert just fit the part of a pirate with that sword on?

 

[Amy]

Dang! I really didn't want Andrew to get voted off - he's a true leader of the Morgan tribe, and the way he handled all that weight on his shoulders was amazing. But I can understand their reasoning: Lillian wanted revenge, and the (former) Drake members saw Andrew as a physical threat. I was soooo hoping they wouldn't merge and then Drake would get rid of Jon; I can't believe he's still in the game, and now he's going to be a member of the jury, so we'll have to see his cocky grin and those fingers every week when they bring the jury in. UGH!!!

I've heard the rumors that Lil makes it to the final 3, and I certainly hope not. There's just something about her that I don't like. (And she really DID look old last night.)

I'm glad Burton is back and that he and Rupert cleared the air. My pick for the final 3: Rupert, Burton and Sandra, with maybe Tijuana as a spoiler.

This is certainly an interesting season!!

 

[gometros]

The difference between the two tribes is that Drake (especially RUpert) and Burton worked right away to mend fences. It's a win/win situation for both of them. Burton knows he would be alienated if he didn't come back with a new attitude and Drake knows that Burton could just as eaily align himself with Morgan for revenge. That's the mistake that Morgan made. Their overtures to Lil were weak and Lil let her anger override her logic. She has to realize that she may have aligned with Drake, but she is not Drake. The only thing in her favor that should get her to the final four is that the remaining three Morgan members will be voted off first and then probably Jon before her. Except for last night, tribe alliances after the merge always outweighed anything else when it came to tribal council decisions.

 

[AlexandNessa]

I just hope now that Lil (ick!) has merged with the new tribe that she uses some of their extra material and sewing machine to fancy herself a pair of shorts for water challenges. I am tired of seeing those white granny panties for the swimming challenges (and yes, I agree with everyone that she did look ANCIENT! in the night shots!)

I hope the rumors aren't true that she makes it to the final 3

And, if they don't get rid of Jon-I-Look-Like-a-Sleezy-70s-Porn-Star soon, I'll have to hurl!

 

[RUDisney]

so we'll have to see his cocky grin and those fingers every week when they bring the jury in. UGH!!!

Double UGH!

And, if they don't get rid of Jon-I-Look-Like-a-Sleezy-70s-Porn-Star soon, I'll have to hurl!

That's the best description I've seen yet of that little weasel.
