What's Survivor parking

From someone.

"Let me tell you about my experience standing in line with him all night before an open casting call.

I get to the call and there are signs that say "SURVIVOR PARKING". I learn later Dan put these signs up, not the CBS People
I put my name on an official looking sign up sheet, but then I learn it's actually just a sign up sheet Dan Foley made to make the audition process easier *I learn Dan Foley drove to this audition in South Carolina from Maine, and literally travels the US in his RV with his friend to audition"

Rupert's latest business venture. It hasn't been as popular as he was hoping.



What crazy lolbertarian thing is he up to that somehow results in this?

The shoes thing was a pretty amusing start. Then he had to go screw it all up by being Rupert. It's pretty bad when you're the biggest douchebag on a season that includes Jonny Fairplay.

Rupert remains awesome in the first half of Pearl Islands, even watching it years later. He's a shoe-stealing fish-catching skirt-wearing spear-finding pirate who defeats an alliance of douchebros who do nothing but make fun of him for no reason and also lose his fishing gear. The scene where Burton sits down Rupert to say "Hey, we need to throw the next Immunity Challengeto eliminate your alliance of women because they're going to come after me-- uh, and you too" and Rupert just smiles and nods and then gives a confessional about how Burton is going to be the first to go is incredible.

He does definitely start to lose it in the second half though. I think Burton returning and playing mindgames with him really messed him up.

Given what we know of Rupert now do you really buy that edit? The guy is a colossal tool and utterly unbearable to be around according to pretty much any Survivor that's encountered him and isn't named Sandra. Pretty sure he was just as awful on Pearl Islands as he was in later seasons/all of his interactions outside of the show, they just wanted to tell a different story that time.

He was an insufferably entitled child on Pearl Islands too.

Rupert is amazing in that he always plays the provider role, he always expects it to save him, and it always leads to him getting voted out.

I actually read another article earlier today and just skimmed through to find something that confirmed it.
This one has the hosts name right though http://www.crossmap.com/news/survivor-season-30-premiere-date-jeff-probst-reveals-reason-why-worlds-apart-stars-an-all-new-cas-15674 and what's even better it's from the same website :downs:
