I would have rooted for Rupert, had he not actually mentioned after HvV that he was DONE with Survivor and wouldn't play again... and now he's back again... kinda seemed like he's here for the fame/reputation/money etc. :(

ew. In my humble opinion, Rupert was NEVER a good player. He just was iconic. So the fact that he's back for a 4th time </3. But I'm rooting for his wife! Also, matching tie dye </3. This isn't a middle school field trip, this is Survivor.

Love, love, LOVE Laura! She was awesome at the challenge in comparison to Gervase -_- and the only one who attempted to help Aras over one of the barrels! I hope she does well  :hearts:

I know people here aren't huge Rupert fans, but seriously... how noble and selfless of him to basically sacrifice himself for his wife. Tough to see him have to say goodbye to Laura. It's so obvious how much they love each other. :hrt:

I have to say, Rupert's move for his wife happened WAY too early and will probably be the only loving move this entire season (I HOPE I AM WRONG). Just look at how Gervase and Marissa are totally here for the money and put the whole theme of Blood VS Water to shame. The two of them are literally Blood VS Blood and makes me wonder why they were picked in the first place.

I love how the Tina/Katie and Laura/Ciera relationship seems to be the strongest though. Too bad we don't have a father/daughter pairing or a mother/son pairing... Would have been great to see how those pairings worked out.. as compared to like you know, barely few months/years "BF/GF" pairing of Kat/Hayden... and you probably can predict where that will go... *Eric and Danielle ahem*

Well, I'm a huge fan of Laura Morett, so I'm sad to see Boneham stay instead of her..... :( Though I kinda like her, hope she can survive 'till the merge!

Well Laura has proven she is good in challenges so far. Although it would be kinda funny if she outlasts one of the John/LauraM, but not the other one so that pre-merge would be between Boneham sandwich.

I guess in any case Rupert's sacrifice was worth it. He got Laura almost 20 extra days on the show. :)
