Yes it seems this show rewards weakness and simpering. See Jenna's win over Matthew in last year's show. Now see the 85 lbs when wet and back stabbin' Jon over powerhouse Rupert.
I can understand why they felt threated by big Rupert, and Rupert would have been a target if the normal merge had happened.........but at least with that, he would have had a 3 person alliance with Sandra and Christa.........all he needed was another person and it would have been 4........he could have been in the final 4 then...........
But Mark Burnett had to fuck all this up. Some people are speculating MB wanted Rupert for the All Star show as that is to be assuredly a massive ratings hit. And Rupert is one of the most popular Survivors ever. Who knows? But it makes one wonder as the producers know the inside info on alliances and how the show is going..........clearly lately Rupert was the target:
why have TWO immunities in a row that were "knockout" ones, meaning you could gang up on a member or members in a group mentality and kick them out of the challenge. Makes one wonder.
But oh well. Rupert will go on for sure..........I don't think the man has any idea how much the viewers pulled for him and grew to like him. He will be able to go on and write his own ticket from here.
And that is a good thing
