PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

initial reaction --
sure fits with mr 411's assertion that rupert is outta there (i.e. rupert = swimming, others = sharks)

2. "Swimming With Sharks" |
Well, there is an obvious danger to swimming with sharks, both figurative and literal.Unfortunately for Rupert, he is no shark.
He is a pirate and will likely be "eaten alive" by his fellow Drakes (the sharks).
How ironic that his undoing comes as a result of his desire for a strong Drake. He got his "strong" tribe.
As always, be careful what you ask for, you just may get it. This also kind of solidifies (as per ep8) that Rupert is safe until ep.9 tribephyl

I've know it is coming, been in denial and hoping that no other man grew a beard but I think I will be in mourning that day and wear black. I will, however, continue to carry the shrinking torch of hope that Rupe will be in the final three. Just humor me.

6. "RE: Makes Me Sad" |
the fact that Rupert is on all- stars does make me wonder. Would MB really only cast one person from S7, unless that person finished far in the game? I would think that Rupert would go far if the cast ONLY him for all- stars out of all of S7.

<<the fact that Rupert is on all- stars does make me wonder. Would MB really only cast one person from S7...>>Would MB cast the person who ends up being the victim of the BL? Who could be ...Rupert? Maybe Burton or Jon is the liar and Rupert is ousted because of it, JP says "M- F-", and MB sees a gold mine in giving Rupert, destined to be a fan favorite, a second chance. Just another idea to kick around.

So does that mean that IC is the slingshot, shoot yourself in the foot, expose your strategy and alliance challenge? Can't deal with possibility of RUpe going to be nice to me, humor me or buy me vodka.

18. "RE: TV Guide" |
two castaways, whose fates are in jeopardy hatch a plan to turn things in their favor.who are the two castaways? could it be Tij and Darrah? meaning that Ryan has been voted out in Ep. 8? or could it be Burton and Rupert? once they realize that the women now have the upper hand (5 women/4 men left) and that Jon can be persuaded to vote with the women, the strong men will definitely be in trouble. This also suggests that Ryan is gone. Looks to me like Ryan is toast this week. Ryan, you need to bring me your torch.

20. "RE: TV Guide" |
One player has an anxiety attack during a reward challenge; I think this is probably one of the weaker swimmers, like Sandra or Tijuana. two castaways, whose fates are in jeopardy hatch a plan to turn things in their favor. Could this be the start of how Darrah and Burton end up sticking around? As an IC threat and an Outcast, Burton's got to be trying to figure out how to have an ending where he'd have a chance, and he's got to know that's not against a Drake. And as one of the minority tribe, Darrah has to do something to avoid a pagonging.  We really do have guidelines here. Believe it or not, the Guidelines make things more fun. Really.

17. "Why I should remain a lurker" |
Here is my take on "Swimming With Sharks". SWS was a 1995 movie starring Kevin Spacey. Here is the synopsis.....Buddy Ackerman is a vicious, egomaniacal, tyrannical, back-stabbing movie mogul. Guy is the idealistic, easily intimidated, put-upon assistant who now works for Buddy. Their relationship could be described as sado-masochistic: Buddy treats his employee like a slave and constantly yells vitriolic insults at him. Guy, tail between his legs, always acquiesces. But Guy eventually becomes fed-up with his boss, so much so that he exacts revenge--in a rather violent, torturous way.. So, the underlings are going to rise up and take out the boss, Rupert? 
back to lurking.....

22. "In the event of a tie..." |
Hi all!Have we decided, yet, what will happen in the event of a tie at Ep9 Tribal Council? The reason I ask is because the way I see it, it's a realistic possibility that we have a two-way tie of four votes each next week. On the assumption that Ryan O. goes this week (and he is my boot pick for this week) we are left with: Burton
Tijuana
Darrah and I propose they all vote for Rupert at Ep9 TC. Rupert
Christa
Sandra and I propose they all vote for Burton at Ep9 TC. This means Jon and Lill are swing votes (and they're the wildest of wild cards -- either could go either way at this point). Now, in Ep8, we know Burton is working Jon to get rid of Rupert. I think we're safe to assume that it won't fly and that Rupert, Sandra, Christa, Jon and Lill all vote against Ryan, with Burton, T, Darrah and Ryan all possibly voting against Rupert. I think Jon is smart enough not to vote against Rupert at any point in the game from here on out when he is not absolutely certain that Rupert is gone (he won't risk the wrath again) so Jon is definitely not voting Rupert this week. So Ryan O is gone with 5 votes versus Rupert's three. Of course, this is a risky strategy for Burton, because it's going to be clear that he has voted against Rupert at the end of this week's episode. So on to next week, Ep9. This is a life or death situation for Burton. He knows Rupert, Sandra and Christa are all voting for him. He knows he, T and D are voting for Rupert. He thinks he has Lill in his pocket, but he can't be sure of Jon. Let's say Lill does the smart thing and goes with Burton (she's not going to take her chances with the remnants of Drake any further than Ep8 when she joins them to boot Ryan O). That's four votes Rupert, three votes Burton. At this point, Jon either kicks in the fifth vote for Rupert and Rupert is gone, or he kicks in the fourth vote for Burton and there's a tie at four votes each between Burton and Rupert. So then what?

24. "RE: In the event of a tie..." |
with Burton, T, Darrah and Ryan all possibly voting against Rupert.I don't see this happening. First of all, I don't see Burton being so out of the loop with the other Drakes if they are all going to vote for Ryan. He'd be aware of what they're doing and go along with it. Second, it's Sandra who mentioned to Christa the idea of keeping Tijuana and Darrah and getting rid of Burton, and we see the four of them going off for a little talk. So if T and D are going to align with any Drakes, it would be Sandra and Christa, not Burton, imo. I do think that Rupert and Burton are going to become the biggest targets in Ep 9, though.

>would be Sandra and Christa,
>not Burton, imo. Of course, you're right. I'm putting too much weight on the fact that we see Burton going gung-ho for Rupert this week. Presumably, if Burton tests the "boot Rupert" water with Jon and finds it tepid this week, he'll pull his head back in and vote with the Drake crowd - knowing that he's endangering himself by overworking the Rupert angle just now and needs to bide his time. In another thread, we are discussing the very temporal alliances that competitors seem to prefer these days. For example, if BR is right and T and D align with Sandra and Christa this week to get rid of Ryan O., then we must assume that they swing away from Sandra and Christa next week and follow Burton instead, for the takedown of Rupert. This is all very unpredictable stuff - the only thing that is predictable is that the competitors' activities will be unpredictable. ::grin:: Rupert and Christa seem to be the only ones with a rock-solid alliance at the moment. We know Sandra will vote for whoever as long as it's not her; we know that T and D are fighting for their lives and will abandon any existing bonds to keep themselves alive; Lill generally doesn't have a clue and will do whatever she's told by the most forceful man; Jon is a weasel who will align and realign with whoever is paying the least attention to him; and Burton is a lone wolf who is trying to hunt proactively by turning the glare of the lights on others. So it looks like Ryan O. is going this week, by overwhelming majority (unless he wins immunity, of course!) And next week, we see some major fracturing of that consensus as it becomes clear that either Rupert or Burton has to go. Anyway, the point of all this was that it's possible that there'll be a tied vote next week, and I'm interested to know thoughts on what will be the tie-breaker.

26. "Family Reunion Ep?" |
I can't find this. I'm sure it's in the details somewhere, but crud! I can't find it.So has it been confirmed (or speculated) that this is the Family Reunion ep? Has it historically been that the family members participate in the RC not the IIC?

LAST EDITED ON 11-12-03 AT 03:24 PM (EST)It is confirmed that this episode has the Family Reunion. Snewser posted a list of family members and friends that made the trip to Panama, and others (including KLicK here) were able to match up the names to the contestants: Laura Boneham - Rupert
Dan Fields - Jon
Lonnie Morris - Lil
DeeDee Roberts - Burton
William Shell - Tijuana
Marcus Twine - Sandra
Peter Waydo - Christa
Bradley Williams - Darrah If the list is accurate, then this episode must have the family reunion. Edited to recognize major brain fart - Post left as is - see Brownroach below

32. "RE: Family Reunion Ep?" |
Veruca, yes, I too was thinking that the "one player" might have referred to a family member having the anxiety attack, which is why I was trying to confirm which episode it was. But thanks to BR, we could not tie that in. I had also wondered if "swimming with the sharks" was related to the family RC in some way, but no, again, BR has squashed that idea.

Welcome to the SB abbahammer, I hope you enjoy your stay.Just as an FYI for you, while that's an adorable picture of your dog, if you're going to use it with each post it's much to big. You'll need to shrink it to fit with the sig pic guidelines which is A graphic not to exceed a height of 60 pixels or width of 500 pixels, followed by an optional single line of text (either regular size, or size "1", but NO LARGER). You can find a full set of the SB guidelines here for your reading and posting enjoyment. Again, welcome to Survivorblows
