Poll question: SURVIVOR Poll - ***Spoiler Alert!!!***
I couldn't stand Boston Rob the first time he played, but he's my favorite this time around. (They've definitely made him the star of this one, which means he's doomed to fail.)

With last week's vote to oust Lex, I'm having some mixed feelings about Rob's sense of loyalty. He's obviously there to win the game, but it seems to me there could have been a better way than to get rid of Lex right then. That move alone probably cost him at least $900k, as I doubt he'd win in the finals against anyone except possibly Amber.

What do you think? Was it a bad move on Rob's part? Was it wrong, regardless of the outcome of the game?

2. He just doesn't have the numbers.
Edited on Fri Apr-16-04 11:06 AM by Parrcrow
Survivor is a game of numbers. The only tight bond the Robfathuh has is with Ambuh. Unless everyone else is a complete idiot, (which is quite possible) they should realize that with the exception of Shii Ann, he has made deals with all the rest of the players. He also seems to mistake lying for strategy rather than a tactic. the second he loses immunity he should go.

4. Absolutely correct
Let's face it, Lex, Kathy and Shi-ann (if she gets voted out before the final 2) will not vote for Rob because of the double-cross Rob did on them with the Amber/Jerri vote. That means if Rob pisses of just one more person he ain't winning the big money. Plus I see Amber going soon unless Rob happens to lose immunity. That group wants to break up the lovebirds - it's gonna happen.

I see Rupert making the final 2. He's playing from Sandra (winner from Pearl Island) rule book which is don't make alliances you can't keep - go with the flow. I'd like to see him or Shi-ann win the big money!!

6. Robfather talks about winning the game but...
He's really more interested in being the Alpha male. He should have strung Lex along but he was more interested in unloading another 'leader'. It very much the same demonstration he gave in Marquesa with Hunter and John.

7. What if...
And it's a HUGE

IF

, it's Amber and Rob in the finals? Kathy has already stated that she thinks less of Amber than of Rob, because of the flat out lie that Amber told her. In that case, I think you're looking at a very close vote, with Lex definitely voting for Amber, and Kathy definitely voting for Rob. Rupert, Tom, Jenna and Alicia's votes would be very dependent on how they go out. Shi-Anne's vote will be totally dependent on what she hears at the last TC, I think.

Of course, if Rob does lose immunity, Tom, Rupert and Alicia will be doing everything they can to dump him immediately. Jenna will go along with Rob and Amber as long as she can. If that happens after Shi-Anne goes, it will make for a VERY interesting TC.

8. if its Rob and Amber in the final two...
It would depend a great deal, I think, on how the remaining five go out. Rob is going to play to the jury from now on at TC, as he did last night.

Tom probably votes Rob though.

5. i agree.....
the moment he loses immunity...shi-ann, big tom, rupert & aleesha should kick his ass out. unfortunately, i don't think he can possibly lose immunity, esp. physical challenges. the only physical threat to him right now is rupert, who will certainly go right after shi-ann.

3. I thought Robb was a dingbat
I was pretty surprise to see that this isn't a choice on this poll.
