Hell no man, it's because Mark Burnett is no dummy. He created Survivor, he knows the public's love for Rupert, and he knows that by Rupert losing *twice* that the public would be so disgusted at all of it that they'd turn Survivor off and never watch it again.
Giving a million to Rupert (who truly deserves it) will revive the public's faith in the show and they'll tune back in this fall.
It's all about the marketing. A million is nothing to Burnett and his advertisers, it's not even pocket change. But having Rupert lose twice and not get *anything* in the end - now *that* would impact the wallets of both Burnett and the advertisers.
GO RUPERT!!

AMEN!!
I don't know, but ruppert won my heart, he is so sweet, a family man, a man of his word, hard working, and probably the best survivor ever. I think he played better this time, and was so sad when he was voted off. Still I love the man. Million dollars for him tonight! He deserves it!
