Was Rupert like the most clueless survivor ever? Did he ever watch this game before? His farewell speech was one of the most pathetic things I've ever witnessed. "They don't like me... I never fit in." How un-self-aware! They voted you off becaus eyou were a threat, you big moron. Because you ran around acting like Rupert, the Benevolent, tender to all the masses so long as they didn't diss you in some way.

And Lil? WTF? Has she never watched this game? Either she is the dumbest survivor ever, or she is one hell of an actress. "I don't want to lie..." Ohmigod!

Lil couldn't be more crazy if she was Peter, that totally insane guy who was the first one voted out a couple of years ago (forgive me, I've forgotten). Unless she was Deb, the New Hampshire woman who took quite a beating for fucking her stepson.
But Lil might be more crazy, in her own way. I think there will be a big ANTI-Burton and ANTI-Lil bias on the jury, because they were "already voted out." See the treatment of Amy on Big Brother 3 after she was allowed back in the house.

That said, I'm going to miss Rupert; I'm stunned that he couldn't keep Jon and Burton with him, but then again, maybe I'm not so stunned. This just goes to show how brilliant Danielle and Jason were on BB3 keeping their alliance totally secret the whole way. That's really the way to do it.

I couldn't believe that Lil was able to keep her mouth shut and not tip Rupert off, even after Rupert kinda suspected that something might be up.

Great episode, great season.

Just saw it; wouldn't have recognized him but for your post. At least Boreanaz will now have someone at whom to direct the sexual tension. They need to bring back Lilah, too, and stage a catfight.

BTW, I can willingly suspend disbelief for parallel universes, vampires living among us, hell dimensions, demon bartenders, interspecies dating, recreational resurrection of the dead, evil hands, incorporeal spirits, and magic jewelry, but I will not buy into a plotline that requires me to believe that a female graduate of U.C. Santa Cruz went to work for a Los Angeles BIGLAW firm, even if that firm is diaboli- . . . um, Wiccan-friendly. They're asking too much.

Speaking of Eve, Joss continues to have a weakness for chicks who can't act. Aside from being too skinny, she indicates like she just stepped off the set of a CBS drama. I'm surprised he didn't recycle someone from "Firefly." Maybe they're all too busy doing the direct-to-video movie.

If that was him waving his cloaca out his window last week, I can attest that if he isn't androgynous, at the very least it's a short putt.

Look, just check your Communication Arts and Utne Reader. You have work to do.

Ace, that's enough

what happened was that Rupert was out fishing, and Sandra and odious Christa were off gathering leaves or something. So Jon and Burton set forth a plan for the 3 babes, whereby it was decreed that Rupert would go first chance they got, and if Rupert got immunity, then it would be Christa. They all agreed, but Lil was insane and talked about how she wouldn't be able to lie.

Key part of the episode was Burton and Lil winning reward, and Burton giving his share of it (a day on a Catamaran) to Jon. Jon was able to lay out the strategy and convince Lil to dissemble enough to not tip off Rupert.

Sandra overhead Burton and Jon talking, but all that she overheard was that Jon would try to get Lil to go their way. Sandra went back and reported to Rupert, and they concluded that it was all strategy for what would happen AFTER they got rid of Darrah and Tijuana.

At immunity (challenge was very cool, BTW), Burton took down Rupert, and just about everyone else. Sandra was actually the one who accidentally finished off Rupert. Irony.

Meanwhile, Darrah played her part of the treason PERFECTLY, convincing everyone that "I know I'm gone, I accept it, it's my turn, I've had fun." Even Probst was an unwitting accomplice

Credit for the restaurant name must be shared with MmmmmmmmmmCooter (CJ) who invented the term or at least invented it here. How about something every man wants to hit? The Barely Legal Catholic SChoolgirl Surprise? Served with a side of red plastic sandals and bobbysox. You should also serve a slab of roast beef- call it the Veronika? But nobody wants Foul Truth. not even as a special.

And also the Chocolate Starfish. Death by Chocolate!

And it just wouldnt be Cooters if there wasn't corn on the menu. Perhaps it shoudl be served with the Chocolate STarfish? Bon apetit!

Am I risking a more serious injury?

I had a similar injury that developed over time, I broke my sesamoid bone. More information here It will never fully heal, but with orthotics in my atheltic shoes I've been able to run and play with no pain most of the time.

the best part was the visual metaphor of the group turning on Rupert - they showed this not so big snake swallowing this huge-ass iguana-like lizard. MTV should start showing the Triumph video while Mike and Trishelle do voice-overs.

Thank you for this. I will probably be executed by IT, but you're right, this was a much better version.

Too bad Paris has cancelled her appearance on Letterman

13 ain't "barely legal." Using date-rape drugs (Quaaludes then, GHB now) makes it even less cool.

Hmmmmmmm, you're right. Maybe we could create a job for him as spokeperson. We could feature him in tv spots flipping CooterBurgers.

Keep the ideas rolling. For whatever reason, the menu relies heavily on seafood items that are amusing in the abstract, but do not seem to go over well with the Average Coltrane. The crabs in particular were a horrendous flop. The tacos seem to be doing well, though.

Coltrane (I feel like Rickey Henderson) likes all food. On a food spectrum scale of 1 to 10. Bad food is a 4-5 and great food is a 10.

The crabs didn't really itch my palate.

Loved the Brazilian tacos though!

Apropos of Cooters, while in Myrtle Beach golfing I saw an ad for "Melons" with the slogan "we're much better than Hooters!"
