Subtitle this episode Intrigue. They were playing the game tonight, more so than any other episode this season. Rob - the Survivor player of last season - would've been proud.
And boy, was Rupert hurt. He started out strong, pirate blood flowing through his veins, but it didn't take him long to show his soft, pink underbelly. I don't think any muscular man can win this game, but he's got a better chance than a strong softy. I wonder what financial troubles await his return? Lord knows a teen mentor can't be making much, but it's interesting that he didn't bring it up - or they didn't edit it in - until he knew he couldn't win.
I'm looking forward to seeing Sandra next week. I think a lot of other people in her situation would give up or sabotage themselves, but she's a smart cookie. Remember how she took control of Drake in the first episode? Bartering like she lived just up the hill? She's not done yet, not by a long shot.
