TRIBAL
COUNCIL VOTING
Markopolo's note: Burton and Michelle almost
seemed as if they felt rejected by Christa. Kind of like she didn't
go into their alliance. That's how I comprehended the clip. |
Trish
(votes Burton): I think you're a really, really great competitor.
And you're a threat. And there's no way I can go into a merge with
somebody like you. But you're a great guy and I wish you the very
best.
Sandra (votes Burton): You talked about me from
day one, to anybody who would give you the opportunity that would
just listen. You singled me out and it was time to pay you back.
This is it. I sure (hate?) it for you. Good-bye. Adios.
Jon (votes Bert and Ernie after dancing his way to the voting
booth): Too much of a threat. (Makes a four-finger symbol
with hand) Can you dig that, sucka?
Markopolo's Note: I did a web search,
and apparently that is a quote from the wrestler Booker T. Jon writes
something else on the corner of his vote paper. The first word looks
like "And" The second word starts with a "V".
Christa (votes Bert): You're the biggest threat
we have. See ya, buddy.
Burton (votes Christa): Christa, this is a tough
game. About making strategic decisions. Indecisiveness will get
you nothing but a one-way ticket home.
Michelle (votes Christa): MICHELLE DROPS THE
PEN ON THE FLOOR, OOPS! I'm placing this vote tonight, because
I think you play a narrow-minded game. Not only did you underestimate
people, but you overestimated people as well. Keep it real (raises
her eyebrows as if to say "whatever").
Shawn (votes Burton): NOTE SHAWN IS WHISPERING
SO QUIETLY IT'S HARD TO HEAR. Burton, (inaudible) all I gotta
say is, competition. I don't want to have competition. See ya soon.

SANDRA
STICKS UP FOR RUPERT
Clip description: Get Inside the Drake tribe when
Sandra takes a stand in favor of her pal Rupert. Why do Sean and
Burton poke fun at the bearded pirate? Find out now.
Markopolo's note: WOW!!! By far the
BEST video of the season!! Sandra rocks! Lots of potential spoilers
here. Sandra sure doesn't like Shawn. What happens when she finds
out that he is in an alliance with Jon? |
Sandra
(confessional): I honestly feel that Shawn and Burton are
happy we got a sewing machine from the reward and Rupert was able
to make himself a longer skirt, because half the time when Rupert
sits down and spreads his legs you either see his jewels or his
dirty underwear. And I think we're just tried of that. So they're
definitely happy that Rupert has a longer skirt, and they loooove
his skirt. They're like, "Oh Rupert, that's the best skirt
ever."
CUT
Shawn and Burton definitely love to make fun of
Rupert. Umm, they like to hear his laugh, but they make fun of it.
They like to see him in his skirt, and they make fun of it. Every
chance they get to crack a joke on Rupert, they are just giggling
away.
CUT
Sometimes I think Rupert doesn't mind, but when
he's in a bad mood, he starts telling them to screw off. He's probably
tired of every other word being "Rupert this" or "Rupert
that." You know they say a lot of negative things about Rupert
when he's not around, but they don't care who else hears it. And
if they say it around me, I am going to run straight back to Rupert
and find him wherever he's at and let him know what they're saying.
CUT
I'm not mad when I hear Shawn and Burton
talk about Rupert. I'm just glad that I'm there to hear it, because
I can just bust them out. If there was ever any doubt, I would just
be like "Look, I heard you say it. You know I'm not lying."
There's been a couple times where somebody was approached, let's
say Christa and they were just talking about Christa. And I was
right behind them and they had no clue. And I wanted to say, "Hey
Christa, you wouldn't believe what these two fools were saying about
you." Just to see the expression on their face and see how
they would try and get out of it. But Christa and everybody (NOTE
ALLIANCE) is like, "No, don't worry about it. Don't play the
game like that. Just tell us when you get a chance behind some bush
or whatever."
Markopolo's note: Sandra is talking in broken
thoughts, so let me reiterate what she was trying to say. She means
that she thought about telling the person who is getting insulted
when they are also in front of Burton and Shawn (the two insulters).
But her alliance urges here not to make a scene and ruckus.
Sandra (more confessional): I don't keep quiet about anything
I hear. If I hear them, and they say a name, (slaps her hands),
I'm gone!
I looove gossip. I'll tell them straight up, "Hey such and
such was just saying that you were the biggest ass or whatever,
that you stink. They're tired of seeing your dirty drawers or whatever."
Whatever it may be, I'll tell them. Because whenever they're talking
about someone it's either Jon, Rupert Trish, myself or Christa.
You know, they don't talk about Michelle in front of me. But they
think I am so loyal that I won't go back and say anything. But that's
the first thing I do, run straight back to whoever they were talking
about and just spill the beans. And that gives that person another
good reason to hate Burton and Shawn.

BURTON:
THE DAY AFTER
Clip description: Go Inside Drake the morning
after they voted Burton out at Tribal Council. Does Burton harbor
any hard feelings toward his former tribe, or is he at peace with
their decision? Watch as he explains his journey.
Markopolo's note: Oh boy. Burton
has no clue that Shawny boy turned on him. And he is really arrogant,
too. He does say that someone on Drake will pay for talking smack
to the Morgan tribe (Geez, I wonder who? Maybe the guy who watches
Smackdown every week?). |
Burton
(the day after TC): The nature of the game is deception.
Everyone does it. People are lying to each other and you always
have to have your guard up. And I had my guard up, but at some point,
you have to trust people to some degree or another. And I did and
Jon was in a position last night where he could go with my alliance
or the other alliance. The strong or the weak. (LITTLE DID HE
KNOW THAT HIS ALLIANCE WAS ONE OTHER PERSON).
And Jon's weak physically. And umm, I expressed
my concern to Shawn about it, saying, "If I were Jon, I would
vote one of us off." (OH, THE IRONY)
Because (Jon) can right now. He can't compete in a million years
against any of us in an individual challenge. And so if I were Jon,
I would have done it. Jon did look me in the eye and said, "Don't
worry, don't worry, don't worry." (Burton shrugs his shoulders)
I always had my concerns. But you can only do so much. And tribal
council is the only time in the game you know someone is telling
the truth. You never know up until that point, so.
CUT
In terms of the competitions with the Morgan
tribe, and the implications down the road. In my opinion if you
play a fair game and go all out, and you don't talk smack and you
don't rub it in your faces, anyone's going to respect that out of
a good competitor. So I tried to play fair and tried to win. Other
people talked smack here and there and I think down the road it
will hurt them, because they are going to have enemies on that tribe
they cannot win over.
CUT
I knew that there were going to be a lot
of challenges for me to face throughout the game and there were
going to be some key turning points. (POINTS, BURTON? THERE
WAS ONE TURNING POINT AND YOU GOT BOOTED OFF!) And if we had
gotten Christa out this vote and gotten another weak person out,
then I had a pretty good strategy to get me into the top five, and
I am pretty sure I could have. And to be honest, I think people
realized that far enough, had I gotten to individual immunities,
it was going to be really hard to stop me, because I don't give
up at anything (YOU SURELY DON'T GIVE UP BEING A COCKY, POMPOUS
JERK). So yeah, people realized that. I was trying to hide
that, but I didn't do a very good job. I easily could have been
top five.
CUT
Looking back, after tribal council and getting
voted off, you realize there are snakes in the grass. It's just
a matter of how many and who. The earlier in the game, the harder
it is to tell, because people's true motivations don't necessarily
come out. And I mean I was planning on becoming more of a snake
as the game went on. Because that's what you needed to be. And I
am sure other people were also.
CUT
The game of Survivor, on the surface,
seems to be "Oh, it's such a neat game. Oh, it would be fun."
But until you get in and evaluate it. Until you get into a position
where you are actually playing, making decisions, it's hard to understand
how complicated it is. And every single action that you do, every
single decision you make and every single thing you say could come
back to haunt you. And the implications, it's a ripple effect. It's
a very complicated game, and that's why I can't go back and say,
"Oh, I would have changed this one thing." Because there
would have been thousands of things that would have changed after
that.

BLACKBEARD
BOILS
Clip description: While Burton and Michelle race
crabs in the sand, Rupert pops off in more ways than one. Watch
as Sandra and Christa help Rupert through his explosive day.
Markopolo's note: Lots of bonding
between Sandra, Rupert, Christa. Trish a little too. Seems like
a solid foursome. (Eerie music, pic of the immunity skull, Burton
and Michelle race crabs as Shawn and Jon watch). |
Burton
(pointing to his crab that is way ahead of Michelle's crab):
That's Drake vs. Morgan right there.
(Pic of Rupert scowling)
Michelle: What the hell is wrong with my crabs?
(I WON'T EVEN TOUCH THAT ONE. TOO EASY)
(Pic of Rupert scowling again)
Rupert (confessional): I'm on strike today. I am
sick of Burton and Shawn telling me how hard they work and how much
they've done when I see what they do. And it's nothing!
CUT
Rupert: My life today is me. Me and my women.
(Shift to Sandra popping some sort of mosquito bite on Rupert's
stomach. YUCK!)
Rupert: ARGHHHH!
Sandra: Take a chill pill.
Rupert: You're hurting me. Why don't you take it
all the way through my back.
(Christa joins in wiping some of the pus away as Sandra pops some
pus-filled bites on Rupert's back)
Sandra: Yummy! Like lemonade.
Rupert: OWWW!!!
Sandra: You can't move!
(Jon, lying down, snickers)
Jon (confessional): Rupert has been eaten up with
every fungus, bacteria and infection you can throw on a person.
Right now he's a human culture of disease and pus.
Rupert: OWWW!!!
Christa: We call it, "Operation Rupert."
operation jungle herpes disease. Whatever you call it. Pus was flying
out everywhere. It was really, really gross.
Trish: Ewww! You're letting him drain right on
the mat (playfully).
Rupert (to Trish): What, you want me to lay on
the dirt?
Trish: Rupert, you are going to be so psyched when
this is done.

OSTEN
CAN'T SWIM
Clip description: You saw Osten almost drown at
the Reward Challenge. Let Insider take you to the Morgan camp as
they return dejected after the big loss. What did Osten think of
his effort at the Challenge? Here's your chance to find out!
Markopolo's note: Not much here, except
Osten points out that he feels comfortable because he has "his
alliances." There is a clip at the end as Osten speaks from
confessional of Osten and Ryan watching the sun set on the beach
together. As far as the transcription...it was HARD TO DO. It's
impossible to hear Tijuana and her high, whiny voice. Darrah speaks
a different language. And Osten talks too softly in the wind. ARGH!
Why can't Mark Burnett get some good microphones? |
(Pic of Morgan tribe returning after RC loss)
Tijuana (confessional): Osten got out there. (Inaudible)
If he can swim the first day off the boat, he can swim. It's just
a matter of staying calm. And I told him that. Just get in the water
and try to be comfortable. Don't get scared. You'll be fine. Don't
panic you'll be fine. But it's easier said than done.
Ryan O (to tribe): We were on the comeback trail,
weren't we? They were getting nervous toward the end.
Tijuana (confessional): I totally understand. I
didn't think what would happen if Osten (inaudible) out there. And
I don't fault him in any way.
Ryan O (to tribe): What are we going to do. We've
got our strengths and we've got our weaknesses. We're not a swimming
group.
Tijuana (confessional): ...... Someone may not
be able to run as fast. Do whatever. So we have to figure out what
are our strengths and weaknesses and hopefully, we can come together
and whoever's the strongest, they can do that part.
Osten (confessional): I definitely cost us the
challenge, no question about it. My mistake. My risk that I took
cost us the challenge.
Ryan O (to Osten): I'm glad you're not hurt. That's
the biggest thing.
Andrew (to Osten): Don't give it a second thought.
Osten (confessional): I'm fearful of water when
I can't touch the ground. I gave it my all. I'm the type of swimmer
that can swim to a destination, but that's it. To ask me to swim,
screw around, dive, come back and go. That's where it becomes difficult.
When I'm out there and panic that's when I lose control.
(Ryan and Darrah talk with Osten about strategy at swimming challenges)
Osten (confessional): I don't feel vulnerable in
the least bit. My strength is not swimming. They know that. We're
taking a chance. With my alliances that I have, I don't feel vulnerable
at all.
CUT
I gave it my all and I screwed up like a
two-year-old child, yeah, but I realize I'm not going to live my
life in reverse. That was then. I know it was my weakness. I took
a chance. It didn't work out. But the chance I take tomorrow may
work out. The bigger the chance, the bigger the reward.

RUPERT
RETURNS WITH MORGAN
Clip description: You saw the Morgan Tribe win
Immunity and choose Rupert to join their tribe for two days. Was
Rupert excited about being in the Morgan tribe, and did he want
to help out around camp? Watch as Insider takes you to the newly
formed Morgan camp.
Markopolo's note: Is this Episode
5 already? Well it does show a VERY NICE Rupert. But I didn't comprehend
the clip as saying that he is going to spill the beans. He knows
what he is doing. |
(Morgan walking back from IC. Andrew carries the Immunity Skull.
Tijuana is hugging Rupert)
Andrew (to Rupert): We thought we would give you
a get out of jail free card.
(laughter)
Andrew (confessional): For us to win immunity,
it was the biggest morale boost we could expect. (blah blah blah)
For us to 0-6 and to win like that. Having Rupert here is a great
opportunity. For one, he's just a great guy.
Rupert (to tribe): Wow, I love you guys' shelter.
Andrew (confessional): He's also honest as hell.
And I don't know how well versed in the game he is. But my sense
is that he's just going to tell us everything.
(Rupert helps Andrew with the logs to block the tide)
Rupert (confessional): I don't see the Morgan tribe
kidnapping me and bringing me to their tribe as a negative thing.
I sat in that boat, huddled up with Chris and Michelle and said,
"I don't wanna go. I don't wanna go. I don't wanna go."
And of course, I went. It's still OK. I need to know these people.
I need to keep away from tribal council anyway -- another positive.
(Rupert shows Ryan how to use the spear -- Ryan has dumb look like
he doesn't understand anything)
Rupert (confessional): Anything that helps them,
helps me. And I am going to bring back some great fish.
Rupert (to tribe): I'm going to go out and catch
some fish and some stingray.
Andrew: Wow, this is going to be great.
Rupert: It's going to be a great day tomorrow.
Tijuana: Thank you.
Rupert: No, thank you.
Markopolo's note: That last "thank
you" is Rupert totally patronizing.

BURTON'S
REWARD
Clip description: Having gone into the game with
only the clothes on their backs, the Drake tribe anxiously awaited
their next reward, the sewing machine. Who benefited the most from
the new fabric, Rupert or his tribe? Let Insider reveal the answer
as Burton explains...
Markopolo's note: CONGRATULATIONS
BURTON! You are a complete asshole. I am so happy you're GONE. Seriously,
he is a total jerk. He also wins Dumb Survivor Quote of the Year
for his inability to understand sewing machines. |
Burton
(confessional): The tree mail said "You will get some
new attire" And once again everybody has misinterpretations,
saying, "Oh my gosh we're getting all of our clothes."
And people are like, "I want my swimsuit, I want my pants,
I want my Patagonia top. I want my fleeces. I want this and that."
And it's been so long out here with the
same clothes, to me it doesn't matter. I imagine that I am going
to be in the same outfit that I am in for the entire time I'm here
(LITTLE DOES HE KNOW!).
These guys were all excited, so we win the
challenge like we always do against the Morgans (COCKY, EH BURTON?).
And Jeff shows us a sewing machine. And I look around. And I'm like,
"Are you kidding me? A sewing machine?" And there's all
these pieces of fabric. And so I really didn't care about the sewing
machine or the fabric or anything for that matter.
We get back here and Rupert, Sandra and Christa begin to have their
own sewing party. And they are so excited. They're talking about
the year and the make and the model of the sewing machine. And I'm
like "I couldn't use that if you gave me the instructions."
(Makes a dumb face)
And they proceed to put 100 percent of their
effort and focus for the remainder of that day and the next morning
into making themselves look all pretty.
In Rupert's defense, he needed a new dress. His was awful and everyone
agreed. But the rest of the ones, c’mon, we're on an island.
Don't worry about looking so pretty. (BURTON, YOU MUST GET LOTS
OF WOMEN WITH THAT ATTITUDE).
Let's get water first, let's eat first. Sewing later.
So the sewing machine, in my mind, was just
a big distraction. And it kind of gave you an idea where people's
priorities were. And a lot of people don't have high priorities.
I don't know. I just stitched up the back of my shorts (HYPOCRITE!!!!)
and that was it. I don't plan on doing a lot more.
CUT
Up until a day or two ago, Rupert has been
running around in a miniskirt. Rupert weighs 240 pounds. His beard
is as long as his hair. And he looks like a pirate (pauses) ...
in a miniskirt! He's got my belt, I think maxed out on the last
hole holding this thing up. And too many times, it’s fallen
down and blowing up in the wind. And Rupert is chafing everywhere.
So he doesn't like to wear his underwear if he doesn't have to.
Because it's hot and usually wet. SO now we have Rupert in a miniskirt
and no underwear. And too many times, he has been in a very inappropriate
position that everyone has accidentally seen. So it was just bad.
So when we got the fabric, the only thing that was unanimous was,
Rupert, make a longer skirt or dress for yourself, please. We don’t
need the miniskirt anymore. He got that and that was a good thing.
So I guess the sewing machine, in the big picture, was good.
CUT
I mean, I took shop in junior high (OH
GOD, WHO REALLY WANTS TO HEAR BURTON'S JUNIOR HIGH STORIES? AT LEAST
EPM WAS SMART ENOUGH NOT TO PUT THIS CLIP ON THE SHOW).
And I did sew things. I sewed up a hole
in my shorts, but it'll probably be awhile before you see me sit
at a sewing machine working it properly. (Laughs) I hope it's a
long, long time.
CUT
(Burton talks about "the worst plumber's ass I ever seen")
I kind of blew it out of proportion and Rupert
didn't think it was as funny as I did (OH REALLY?). But
I was laughing. Everyone else was laughing. And it was a riot. But
after his threat of wringing my neck like a chicken, I kinda backed
off a little bit. But I had to get a couple jabs in because it was
not pleasurable.
CUT
I gotta admit, it's kind of fun to tease Rupert
cuz he's such a nice guy. Like no one would ever say anything mean
to him or rude to him. So he's the kind of guy you can kinda tease.
And everyone knows you're just giving him a hard time, cuz he's
so nice. It's entertaining and it lightens the atmosphere. And he's
the only guy here who could probably physically hurt me, so it's
like kinda teasing the big guy so he'll be nice to you. So it's
kind of funny. (HUH? WHAT KIND OF LOGIC IS THAT?)
CUT
Most of the time it's the skirt. Sometimes
we go back and forth on the fishing. He catches a bunch of small
ones, I catch fewer bigger ones. But it's all in big fun. But the
skirt is the biggest joke. Sometimes the pirate laugh or the beard,
but mostly the skirt. The skirt's always the good one, you can always
fall back on that.
