Rupert's Ramblings

[Rupert Boneham]

First off, let me say congrats to you three. I also have to apologize to Jud and Alina and Semhar - it was my bad for not using my Idol the round that I left, I knew I needed to but I spaced and missed the deadline. Might've changed things slightly but who knows. I have to admit, if I had to predict the final three the moment after I was voted out, I would've certainly not predicted that any of you guys would make it and I have to say I'm very, very happy that all of you did. I'm not here to bombard you with ridiculous questions, I'll try to keep it simple.

TYRONE - I didn't get to know you very well during our time together in the game. I was allied with Alina and Fabio, so I feel like I know them fairly well and I know their gameplay. My request for you is to compare your game to the others and tell me why yours is superior. However, to twist is up a little...you need to compare each finalists' journey in the game to a fairy tale and/or fairy tale character.

ALINA - I know you fairly well from the past and from this game as well, and we get along really well and I think you're a great person. As far as this game goes, I think in order for me to vote for you I'd need you to distinguish the differences between your game and Jud's game, specifically, and why you deserve to win over him. Similar to my question before, I want you to compare each finalist's journey in the game and show why yours is superior. Rather than a fairy tale, I want you to compare them to Christmas/Holiday movies.

FABIO - I have to say, at this point, I'm leaning toward voting for you. You played the game with confidence and you put forth a lot of effort, at least during the portion I was around. I know from experience that you're a smart and strategic player and I was impressed that you found a way to get to the end when you were high on everyone's radar. As for your question, same as the above two, except I want you to compare each finalist to an NFL team in the 2011 season.

--------------------

Good luck to all three of you - don't listen to the bitter berries, haters gonna hate...

This is a rather interesting and unique question. I like it!

Alina & Jud- Hansel & Gretel - I think we can combine them together. They did everything together so they have almost similar game plays. Alina and Jud walked with each other everywhere. They never left each other's side, but Alina seemed to be the follower. No matter where they took each other, even if it was to her doom I think they would be together. Although when Alina asked to go, Jud let her stroll alone for a bit because only Semhar voted her.

When their breadcrums (Rupert & Alina) couldnt help them any longer, they found the candy house (Wendy & Tyrone) tried to mend ties with them to make sure they were not going to end up lost forever or voted out of the game.

Although the evil witch didnt show up and cook them (vote 'em out) they still didnt seperate.



My gameplay was superior to theirs because I was wiling to venture out and talk to others. I was willing to step out of my comfort zone and not have to make sure someone else was on board before I did it. Even though I had my alliances, If I did not agree with something I would step out and do what I wanted, I wasnt going to follow someone.

Following someone can get you lost if you both do not know where you are going, which I think happend a bit with Jud and Alina.

I never lost focus on what was going on because I kept the lines of communication going with everyone. I had the path I wanted to take and I never walked off it for anyone. Of course I was sad when someone I was working with got voted off, but I wasnt going to compain, I was going to try to make it to the end for myself and them.

I rolled with the punches, and I kept going. I didnt make up excuses when things didnt go the way that i wanted them to. You gotta keep on fighting. Its what I did throughout this whole entire.game. I was in the minority for most if not all. I had to fight and think smart....

Hey Rupert! How's it been!

I'm pretty excited to answer this question because as you know... I'm a pretty big football fan!


First to clarify... I did talk to other people I didn't solely rely on my alliance with you, Semhar and Alina because if I did I wouldn't of made it to the end.

Also I didn't follow anyone. The fact I seemed to vote with a different group every round after you left seemed to prove it.


Now i'm going to one up your question... not only am I going to pick 3 teams from the NFL... but they are all coming out of the AFC North.

Now I believe the team Alina represents is the Baltimore Ravens

She was very on and off throughout the game. At some points she was really into the game working hard in the challenges and socializing with everyone. But at other times in the game she just didn't show up and didn't perform like a playoff (finalist) team. She is also very outspoken which the ravens are (more so in past years) but still are this year.


I believe the team Tyrone represents is the Cincinnati Bengals.

Tyrone hid behind the other teams in the division and no one saw him constantly surviving and moving forward. Unfortunately though when push comes to shove he was clearly outmatched by the more powerful teams in the division and it was shown that they only made it so far because their path was easier.


I believe the team I represent is the Pittsburgh Steelers. Coming into this season I was looking pretty solid but after a terrible first merge round (or week 1 loss) everyone had ruled me out. I changed the way I played from being a passive running team to a dominant in both challenges and strategy pass game. After the next few rounds I proved that I was a force to be reckoned with and have dominated the game ever since!


Hopefully this answers your question!

Good luck with your decision.

First off

second, my path was NOT easy what so ever. Being in the minority, talking to everyone to make sure I wasnt the vote, keeping the votes off of me. Not having to rely on immunity and being without an Idol many times surviving the votes was not easy.

I'm sorry but I DEFINETLY had to play this game to stay in it..

[Judson "Fabio" Birza]

You don't rely on immunity, you win immunity. I had only one idol all game, I didn't have an idol at the F4 tribal, and I doubt Alina would of risked herself had Holly won. So I had to Earn my immunity that way.

You were in the minority for one round in the merge...

I had to come back from basically being down 6-2 or (3-3-2).

[Tyrone Davis]

I was NEVER in the majority. You said it .yourself in your answers that you wanted Rupert, & Semhar with you and Alina. NEVER was I in the majority because never was I alligned with Espada.

Alina had hold of 3 idols, gave me one, and she would have given you the other if you didnt win, you knew that.

[Alina Wilson]

At final four i would of voted out jud. At that point I look out for me, myself and I. I knew you had something with Holly. So I had to make sure you were voting for Jud if Holly won.

[Tyrone Davis]

I think thats the only time you discussed voting Jud because you wwanted to save yourself. So i guess if the witch was coming, you would have pushed him to her and ran out the door.

[Judson "Fabio" Birza]

Not if Holly had won because she knew that you would vote for either me and her (probably me) but the only way to be 100% sure was to leave me hanging.

But regardless of if she had won or not I would of left...



I am going back to my dorm so my iPod responses will be slower and less detailed. Was kind of hoping it wouldn't come to this but what can you do.

Im sure Holly would have liked that because if we did, I dont think we both knew or Holly would be sitting here.

[Rupert Boneham]

Ty and Jud, thanks for the answers!

Alina, if you want consideration, gotta answer my Q

[Alina Wilson]

Dont worry I will answer these

[Alina Wilson]

ALINA - I know you fairly well from the past and from this game as well, and we get along really well and I think you're a great person.



As far as this game goes, I think in order for me to vote for you I'd need you to distinguish the differences between your game and Jud's game, specifically, and why you deserve to win over him.

Just because me and Jud agreed on who should go and voted the same does not mean we played the same game. Rupert you should know this I had good intuition like when you, Jud and semhar wanted to vote brenda and I said no Wendy is smarter. So I had way better intuition than Jud. Also I wasn't afraid to be bold in this game. I didnt care about talking to Kelly or Holly to try and work out an alliance to get rid of Brenda or Wendy. And I made a good connection with Albert, so I would be protected. I mean call it what you want, but I had 2 guys protecting me in a game. So you jurors can claim that Oh alina didnt do anything or alina was a floater. SO SINCE EVERYONE WANT TO SAY MY NAME AND BRING STUPID SHIT UP THIS GIF IS FOR YOU!





Similar to my question before, I want you to compare each finalist's journey in the game and show why yours is superior. Rather than a fairy tale, I want you to compare them to Christmas/Holiday movies.


I would give Jud to the movie Elf! So in Elf, Buddy thinks he has it all figured out just like Jud though before merge. But then at merge his alliance was getting picked off and was Buddy didn't know he wasn't an elf. And so Jud worked on getting himself adapted with people he needed just like Buddy adapted to getting to know his real dad. In the end Buddy saved Christimas just like Jud saved himself.

I would give Tyrone to the movie Nightmare before christmas! Because Jack was greedy and kidnap Santa and gave everyone bad presents right. So what Tyrone did was go to everyone and act like he was with them so he would be safe. Like Jack did but he gave bad presents.

And for the lovely Alina! I would pick Bad Santa. Yeah I know very odd and unexpected choice but! Willie in the movie didn't give a crap of kids, Santa all he cared about was money. Just like me! i didn't care about the people in this game, host (I broke rules) and all I cared about was getting to the end.
