I think All Stars Rupert was the best. He wasn't too bitter when he got his name written down like in Pearl Islands, he wasn't spoiled like in Heroes vs. Villains, and well he was great in Blood vs Water but he only lasted for 2 episodes.
Two reasons Jenna did this: (1) ties at F4 were still unclear and the ghost of the purple rock was still a terrifying prospect. (2) The jump in prize money was substantial during this season. I think 4th got $80 or $90k and 3rd got $125k; thus, there was more incentive to play safe for a higher losing position than to risk going out earlier with a possible win as reward.
And also that as far the jury vote went, Rob was the only person left that Jenna had a chance at beating, so voting him out would guarantee herself second place at best
dpsulliv 3rd wouldn’t get 125K. The runner-up gets 100K, so it makes no sense for the third place finisher to get more than someone who did better. 3rd gets 75K and 4th gets 60K
I definitely think Jenna made the wrong decision but she didn’t even know that a fire making challenge breaks the tie. After Paschal got rocked out, starting in Thailand, if there was ever a 2-2 tie at the final 4, then a fire making challenge would decide the third final 3er and the second to last member of the jury. She didn’t no that because production liked to withhold information
@@AbbyDeters2004 What are you talking about? Rob and Amber were always tight and have never gone against each other. So the ideal move for Jenna to be in the final 2 was to stick with Rupert.
She was gambling first for third. If Boston Rob went home she couldn’t beat Amber or Rupert in the vote. Her perception was Rob was the only person she could beat in a jury vote.
*Rupert’s Final Words:* “I am a little angry at Jenna. Greed won out over friendship. Almost disgusted me. There's not one person in this game that can say I lied to them, that I played conniving. I did my best. I honestly had a very, very good experience with Survivor All-Stars.”
If this had been final 3, then the move by Jenna would have been awesome. Not so sure about a final 2 scenario though, but I guess she’s gambling a third place for a first, rather than a secure 2nd place. There’s no way she can win against Rupert.
Its easy for us to be armchair quarterbacks and say this was a dumb move on Jenna's part; but I dont think it was. At this point in Survivor history, she knew to bet on an endurance final immunity challenge. She had nothing but her will to go on. What if she had won? We'd be calling her smart then, because she would have been the Sole Survivor. Also, she very well could have won the final challenge, both Jenna and Amber got eliminated in that challenge because of brief mindless moments (Jenna's foot, and Amber touching the idol with her off hand.) And even this specific challenge has given winners that wernt challenge beasts! Neleh won the very challenge in Marquesas. It was her first win. Kim J won an endurance final immunity challenge in Africa. Who expected that? Lill won in Pear Islands, who expected that? Jenna's chances wernt so horrible. She had to expect a rock draw in the event of a tie, which would have given her a 33% chance of going home period, and only a 33% chance of Rob going home. And what if Rob went home? Rupert probably wins the game. Thats not a good outcome for her. What if Rupert went home? Same situation where she votes him out outright. Voting for him removes the most potential risk. Basically, she had to choose between likely getting 3rd and maybe winning; or almost certainly getting 2nd. Even though the gamble didnt work out in her favor, I feel strongly she made the right choice.
@@C92400 I believe Jenna would have had votes from Rupert, Kathy, Lex, and Alicia. Lex and Alicia hated both Rob and Amber, and Kathy couldnt stand Amber.
Always wondered how different Survivor: All-Stars would be looked at if Rupert had won (considering all the negativity surrounding that season). This was arguably his peak in popularity on the show
The season probably would have been liked so much more at the time. Rupert was still America’s fan favorite at the time as shown with the fan favorite award he got.
This was my favorite appearance of Rupert. He didn’t act like a sore loser unlike some of the others. Glad he won America’s Tribal Council, he deserved it.
@@snuffedtorch3683 he will be Rupert said he would love to come back and Jeff give a hint in blood vs water that he will come back Right when he lost the redption challenge he said For THIS journey of survivor your time is up
I believe at this time, the F4 rules were still very up in the air. So I believe Jenna was thinking it was going to be Purple Rock still, so in all honesty you can't blame her for not wanting to go to luck. I believe Palau was the first confirmation that F4 was Fire Making.
That sort of situation showed up twice in 'The Australian Outback'. It would've come to the cumulative number of votes each of them received in previous tribal councils.
I wish Jenna Lewis voted against Rob Mariano on Day 37 instead of Rupert because then there would have been a revote and then directly a deadlock tiebreaker. The tiebreaker would have been a fire-making challenge, which would have been super close but I think Rob M. would still have won the fire-making challenge and the remaining results of the season still are the same.
Jenna made the right move here. She doesn't beat Amber or Rupert in the final 2 and has a coin flip against Boston Rob (Shii Ann said in the finale she would have switched her vote to Rob in that scenario but that's without each stating their case). So rather than risk leaving at 4 with the best outcome finishing as the runner up, she gave herself a shot to win if she won immunity. At that time, the final immunity was always endurance which neutralizes some of Robs strength.
Jenna didn’t vote with Rupert bc she was scared to draw rocks and leave at 4th, but guess what Jenna? I’ve seen the future where you leave at 3rd instead. So you getting voted out would’ve happened anyways. At least make a big move by going out swinging.
If Jenna voted rob it would be rocks and if rob got the rock it would been the biggest move ever and if Jenna makes it to final 2 she would 80% win sense rob amber and maybe tom voting for Jenna same with alica and SHII Ann
This is a bad move by Jenna. Even if the tiebreaker is rocks, you have to take your chances. By voting out Rupert, she made it so she had to beat both Rob and Amber at the final immunity challenge. The chances of that happening were very low. She would have been better off forcing the tie and hoping to get Rob out of the game. At that point, she's basically guaranteed to get to the final two. Rupert would vote out Amber, and both Jenna and Amber would vote out Rupert. Jenna loses to Rupert, but she beats Amber.
I'd have to disagree with you there. Going into a rock draw with only 3 people eligible to draw is risky business. If Jenna won the final challenge, she would've won the season. Plus, Rupert could've beaten Jenna in a jury vote, Rob or Amber would've lost to Jenna.
Jenna essentially forced herself against the wall with this move. There was no way in a million years that she was going to get taken to the end if Rob or Amber won.
She never came close to winning individual challenges, the only thing I can think of is that she thought she could only beat Rob not Amber and since Amber had immunity she voted Rupert to keep Rob around and throw a Hail Mary towards winning final immunity and then voting off Amber. If it was a tie it may not be a rock draw since it's final 4 despite the Marquesas incident.
I think All Stars Rupert was the best. He wasn't too bitter when he got his name written down like in Pearl Islands, he wasn't spoiled like in Heroes vs. Villains, and well he was great in Blood vs Water but he only lasted for 2 episodes.
I liked him a little more in Heroes vs. Villains (Though not enough to feel too bad when he left)
I preferred him in Pearl Islands
He went further in the game and he was in a good spot so he definitely felt better to have that second chance.
Rupert def have a good chance to made it far in blood vs water if he didn't take his wife spot.
Naah he was the best in Pearl Islands it was his game to loose that season
I freaking loved Rupert. Worst season for him definitely was blood vs water.

Still pretty dumb of her to not even try to force a tie to get in Rupert's good graces

He was so close that time. Just two challenges away from becoming a finalist.
