Ok I admit I cried like a baby!!
It was just to darn sad. Then they tell us at the end that she died 8 days later. What did all you Rupert fans think of him last night? I do like Rupert but he messed up BIG time last night!!
I don't know about the rest of you but I think Rob is very good looking!! He did make a great little house! I love this show!!

It was really sad. I'm just glad she left when she did.

I still love Rupert. Yes, he messed up a little. Almost everyone in this game does something at some point to put a bull's eye on their back. He's just going to have to make it up somehow.

I know that show was just so darn emotional yesterday. She made the right decision to go home. Can you imagine the guilt she would of felt ,if she stayed and then found out her mom died.All the money in the world is not worth that.
Yes Poor Rupert did mess up yesterday, and he knew it. I think he will do better from now on.
Rob is cute, but I think Kolby is VERY handsome.

I think Jerri description of Rupurt is acurate, he is a great player when things are his way and he is in charge. I don't think he is the wisest person, or best with interpersonal relationships, which is what this game takes. I am sorry to hear of Jenna's loss, I knew ahead of time. Just a tid bit of info, IRL this happened the same time they were showing the last survivor and happened to coincide with Jon's grandma lie...very sad.

Jackie...I agree. Colby is VERY cute, and a good person. I named my son after him!

By Trisa on Friday, February 13, 2004 - 08:54 am:

Yes it is a great name!

Not a Rupert fan as you can read from my previous posts on the subject and last night was just further confirmation. I thought it was sad about Jenna's mom, but I also think she was crazy for signing up for Survivor anyway, knowing that her mother was so ill. I'll bet for the next game they will check things like that out more closely.

By Kittycat_26 on Friday, February 13, 2004 - 09:16 am:

I guess I'm taking a different look at this. Yes, it was sad and yes, I am glad that she did go home but what was she doing there?

Her mom was sick last time she was on and she moaned and carried on about that. If her mom was sick then, why the big change that she decided to do it again?

This wasn't fair to her team or to the show. If you are in it, then you are in it. You don't bail a couple of weeks into it. I think Tom tried to say the same thing only in a much nicer way.

Okay, I should keep my mouth shut, but here goes. Jenna has shown bad judgement all around on Survivor. She showed bad judgement by stripping for peanut butter and chocolate (and it was NOT necessary, all she had to do was tell Jeff she'd step off the post for the food, where on EARTH did the stripping idea come from?? Not to mention the 'bad judgement' of jumping off the post into the water with her shorts around her ankles. Why not pull them down, flash, and pull them back up before attempting to jump and swim to shore all encumbered like that??) She showed bad judgement in posing for Playboy (some might disagree, however I'll always be against that sort of thing) and she certainly showed bad judgement in leaving her sick mother AGAIN for more attention. It was selfish on her part. She had already WON the game once, why come back? She took a spot away from someone else who would have jumped at the chance of coming back and she left her team in a bad position now. It wasn't fair and she didn't think of anyone but herself. Yes, I'm glad she came around and glad she got home in time, but she truly needs to grow up, think of others, and get her morals and priorities straight. JMHO, of course. Ranting is over.

I cried like a baby too! It was really sad. It amazing that she had that feeling like something was happening at home and that she needed to be there. Thank God she listened to her gut and went home when she did! But i agree, what the heck was she doing there in the first place with her mom at home with cancer?

I missed the first 40 minutes because i was watching Friend's. I know they had to make a little house or something...what happened with that?

I do think Boston Rob is cute, and so is Colby, but they are both cute in very different ways!!

By Marcia on Friday, February 13, 2004 - 11:32 am:

I don't she should have been there, either. I don't think she had a "feeling", I think guilt got the best of her. She said her mom's treatments weren't working, and that she was getting worse quickly. They hadn't been away for that long at that point, so she knew before she left. Bad call. Still, I found it very emotional.
I am such a Rupert fan, but was not happy with him last night.

By Fionadeassis on Friday, February 13, 2004 - 11:46 am:

I was so so disappointed in Rupert last night! I even feel annoyed with myself for defending him here last week! I have never built a house or a fort, but even I knew it would be stupid to dig into the ground.

Now about Jenna. I think they told her her mom was bad,and told her to pretend that she didn't know. When he was questioning her at the end,she was talking as if she already knew what was going on. Otherwise I would say she was VERY UNTHOUGHTFUL to go on Survivor when her mom was in a bad state.

I never thought Boston Rob was that cute the last time. But something about him building a house. It must be some kind of 'caveman provider'kind of thing.The big strong man building a shelter to keep the female safe.He could build me a hut ANYTIME!!!!

Looks like next week will be really hot,judging by the scenes from next week.

I'm glad Jenna made it home to be with her mom, but she never should have taken that spot that I'm sure someone else would have jumped on if she couldn't commit (physically or emotionally) to the show. I feel she really let her tribe down. I'm sure the producers knew what was going on.

Rupert really seems to have two distinct personalities. He can be a gentle, loving teddy bear and then like last night, he can really be a jerk. I also think he realized his mistake.

By Sunny on Friday, February 13, 2004 - 11:58 am:

I'm with Kate. I understand her feelings and felt bad for her, but I don't think she gave it enough thought before agreeing to do it again. I also get the feeling that her mother was waiting for her to get home before she died...I don't know why, it justs feels that way.

I was also disappointed with Rupert and his "log cabin". I didn't like Jerri the first time around, but my opinion of her is changing a little. And Boston Rob was certainly in his element when building that shelter. They deserved all the goodies they got. Now, what about this budding romance between him and Amber? Hmmm... Genuine or strategic? Or both?

By Kate on Friday, February 13, 2004 - 12:26 pm:

On the Early Show interview today Jenna said her mom had battled cancer for 12 years and that you can't live your life for 12 years always putting things on hold. She said when she got back home her mom didn't speak, but heaved a big sigh. The very next day she stopped eating and drinking, and then as it said last night, died on the eighth day of Jenna's return.

Jenna said she'd do Survivor AGAIN if asked.

By Bellajoe on Friday, February 13, 2004 - 12:36 pm:

Oh I forgot she would be on the Early show, i wish i would have watched.
She must really love the game to want to do it AGAIN!

I agree, i bet her mom WAS waiting for her to get home before she died.

By Amy~moderator on Friday, February 13, 2004 - 03:36 pm:

I am totally with Kate in that Jenna made a lot of poor decisions. I certainly do not believe she should have gone on this Survivor if she was at all doubtful of her mom's medical condition.

I like Rupert, but he did mess up last night big time! I think Kathy is one of my favorites though.
