Survivor - Boston Rob and Amber
- Thread starter ToronToto
- Start date
By far the most pointless Survivor vote of all time. Why did they even bother counting the votes in the end....they had already establised that the votes of the jury were without meaning after they let the proposal go on, so why even waste the time when the money would be won by both of them? And then they wasted more time droning endlessly about the engagement when the should've been talking to some of the other contestants. In years past they tried to give everyone some airtime to talk but they just didn't seem to care anymore.
If there was any doubts that the Survivor franchise was broken, tonight proved it. Hell, they put up a second million dollars to appease the fans after Rupert didn't win *again* (because it's obvious he'll score this one), which just shows even the producers realize how flawed the show has become from a game mechanics point of view.
Disappointing all round.

why the fuck should rupert win?????
Rob won
Boston Rob won because Amber accepted his proposal for marriage. He can get his hands on the million by having her place it in a joint account. THat is great strategy.
Wrt the million to be given out on Thursday, I am going to vote for Rupert.
Last note, pretty funny that Geri walked off the show because the crowd booed her. Lol

LOL indeed , Boston Rob did rule the whole game . I think Rupert might get that 2nd million on Thursday, he is still the popular one with the audience.Lumix said:Boston Rob should win the 2nd million cause he outwitted everyone.
Thanks for the personal drama, otherwise this finale was quite boring.
Amber looks fine, but I'll agree that she looked hotter in Panama with a few pounds less.
amber - hotter in panama? a few pounds less?? huh??? you guys are smoking some heavy duty stuff. you guys must consider urself gods gift to whatever, go look in the mirror boys b4 u make comments on how others look. i'm sure u need all the help u can get -> 2476 hahahero.
she looks great period. a few pouds less, now that is rich, she was darn near anorexic.
berlin, glad to see u still wasting ur precious time.

Unless Amber is totally smitten, she should be careful of Boston Rob. He played a very good game, too good, probably not done yet.
I'm sure that gossip rags have print on how Boston Rob duped Amber to fork over half the winnings, and how this hollywood-type ending ended.
Amber looked great before and tonight, really all depends one's taste.

I hope they won't do this " all star " thing again; it was, like others have mentioned, the most unexciting survivor so far.
I hope Boston Rob gets the next cool million. But after the IRS and his new bride get a hold of it, most of it is gonna go C YA

Although Survivor has never been quite as entertaining as when it first started (Borneo and Australia), I thought this installment was as interesting as one could expect. The concept is not so novel anymore, so of course, it is harder for viewers to be as interested as when it was a brand new show.ricahrgl said:i think it was just as exciting as all other survivors....
I agree with danmand, the others should have mounted a revolt against Rob and Amber while they still had numbers, but I think the problem was that every single one of them thought that had some kind of alliance with Rob. But it should have been clear to each and every one of them that aligning with Rob and Amber was, at best, going to guarantee you a third place finish, and that they should have taken control of their destiny by breaking their alliance.
As for Jenna, I agree she should not have betrayed Rupert and she should have tried to get Rob out. By aligning with Rob/Amber, the best she could do was third, unless she won the last immunity challenge, which of course, she didn't. Personally, I would have preferred to have taken my chances in an immunity challenge with Rupert, as opposed to Rob. Rupert is a great player, but have you ever seen a guy who is slower or who has poorer balance? Anyway, it is easy to say all this, when you watching in the comfort of your living room.
There was a lot of talk on last night's show about how Rob violated and broke friendships, which I think is a bunch of hogwash. Rich and Shii-Ann seemed to get that this is a freaking game, and lying and backstabbing is part of it. And as was rightly pointed out, Lex orchestrated the ousters of Colby, Ethan, and Jerri, but Lex said that was all 'business, nothing personal'. What a hypocrite.
I think Rob and Amber were a deserving final two. Rob clearly controlled the game from Day 1, and Amber deserves to win because she manipulated Rob.
rob deserved the title survovor , Ambuh just got lucky and remember shiann at tribal council said to watchout for her .
What are the odd's that they're expecting a survivor wedding ala the bachelor. Then they could have a reality show for how long the marriage survives. Thirty years from know, they could have "All Star Survivor's Children" on a show. Just having big tom's son would make it worthwile. Maybe "surviving naked richard hatch", or jerri survivor - people bet on how long it takes before she runs away crying.wacko jacko said:one millin is not hat mmuch money , enought to pay for the wedding and honeymoon .
Anyone else have other survivor spinoff ideas?
