So now, Jeff asks if Burton and Lill will be keeping the reward or giving it away. Lill answers immediately that she wants to keep it. Well, of course she does. It's a boat! It's pizza and beer! Who wouldn't keep that? Burton, on the other hand, thinks for a minute and then gives his reward to Jon. Ooooh, is Rupert gonna be mad! Of course, if you see it from Burton's point of view, there is absolutely no freakin' way he can let Lill go off on a boat with Rupert for hours. No way. So as nice as it would have been strategically for Burton to continue to promote the image of his friendship with Rupert, there was nothing else he could do here. This is why telling Rupert he intended to give him the reward if he won it was a bad move earlier. Granted, Burton couldn't have known Lill would be the co-winner and so forth, but it was an unnecessary risk. Rupert, of course, seethes. I suspect he is seething even in his baby pictures. Even in x-rays. Even in dental x-rays. Jon and Lill are going out on the boat together. Interesting.
