Now that almost 24 hours has passed since last night’s “Survivor” debacle, the depression that hit me when Amber won is finally starting to fade. I should count my blessings, of course, because if Rob had won I’d still be in bed with the covers pulled over my head, trying to block out the harsh sunlight of reality.
But since Rob proposed to Amber right there on live TV before the votes were counted, he ended up getting the million dollars anyway. Or at least as much of it as Amber will let him have, which likely is most of it. Given her rather submissive attitude—how many times have I heard her say “I love Rob because he makes me feel so safe”?—I suspect good old Boston Rob will be in control of the purse strings in their relationship.
I was greatly pleased to see that the grievous wrong that was committed on Sunday night can be partially rectified Thursday. Jeff Probst announced that CBS is going to fork out another million dollars to the non-Amber survivor who gets the most votes in an online poll. So, even if you have never watched “Survivor,” take my advice about who should win the second $1,000,000: Rupert.
Click on this polling link right now and cast your vote. Rupert is honest, a hard worker, a tie-dyed shirt wearer, and a devoted husband/father. Plus, he’s got a great howl/yell that even bests Howard Dean’s, which he featured on the live show last night.
Also, as down as I was this morning, it was a joy to find a link to this “Rumsfeld Fighting School of Martial Arts” page in the course of perusing what was happening in the world of Oregon weblogs. It takes a while to load completely if you have a slow Internet connection, but it definitely is worth the wait. I was able to smile through my Survivor sadness as I studied this wonderful compendium of Rumsfeld martial art moves. However, I didn’t notice a photo of his “double thumbs up” gesture that was much in evidence at the recent Armed Services Committee hearings; hopefully that will be added to Rumsfeld’s deadly repertoire (could be an eye gouge, I would think).
