I've watched Survivor since the very beginning series, the one with Richard Hatch...I think they have improved with each one and I just love Pearl Island and Rupert!!! He is a real pirate...and he's cute and cuddley as well!! I loved Pirate of the Caribbean - saw it several times and will buy the DVD when it comes out. From watching old movies, I have always loved the pirate theme!! :) Irene
