Burton and Jon mutiny, and Rupert's forced to walk the plank

This week's Survivor lesson? If at first you don't succeed, then try, try, again.

After seeing their initial scheming go for naught as Rupert Boneham won immunity in last week's episode of the series, Burton Roberts and Jon Dalton renewed their mutiny attempts at the first opportunity, this time with successful results, as Rupert was voted out of the Balboa tribe to join Ryan Opray as the second member of the game's jury. Ah well, at least Rupert will be getting a second chance in the currently-filming Survivor: All Stars -- that's more than any other Survivor: Pearl Islands castmember can claim. And with the runner-up cash prizes of the All-Star edition said to be ten-times those of the normal editions, perhaps he'll even win enough to stop whining about being picked on all his life (drop the self-pity act Ruppie -- it's really conduct unbecoming of you.)
This week's unsurprising booting of Rupert boosted SurvivorBlows' prediction record to 9-0-2 (nine correct predictions, zero incorrect, and two correct alternate bootee.) In Spoiler Island fantasy game action, "richthedevil" remains atop the leaderboard for another week.
So what happens next week on Survivor? What do Burton and his motley crew do now that they're in control of the game? Can Sandra and Christa somehow rally? What will the "great lie" finally be revealed to be? And who makes a new "sworn enemy?" Check out our Survivor spoilers forum for the latest details on these and many other hot topics!
