Survivor: Redemption Island

[freakofnature]

:willy_nilly: I was a bit surprised to see Grant voted off! I thought Rob would go for Natalie to break up the Natalie-Ashley thing.

 

[MoonOwl]

Since Ashley won immunity...:willy_nilly::24: It would have been the perfect time to blindside Rob. Oh well.

I wonder what Sunday's episodes will bring? I hope neither Rob nor Philip win.

Who will win? :award::humm:

 

[retro]

I think if whoever makes it back from Redemption is in the finals, they'll end up winning. :24:

 

[Tangerine]

I predict Rob winds up leaving Amber and eventually hooks up with Natalie.

 

[freakofnature]

I can't see Rob winning. He plays a good game and maintains control of his alliance but that same game strategy is making him too many enemies on the jury. I'm with retro on someone from Redemption winning, especially if that player is a member of the former Zapatera tribe.

 

[retro]

What I don't think any of the Omatepe people thought about was the fact that the former Zapatera + Matt, if he doesn't make it back from Redemption a second time, are going to have a majority on the jury. That's the flaw in Rob's plan, unless he's somehow able to take Phillip to the finals with him... but isn't it a final 3 now? My memory sucks, and last year was the first time in about 5 seasons that I had watched it. They made zero attempt to get to know or bring in any of the former Zapatera members, which made enemies out of them, without thought that one of them could come back and win it all.

:nod: Yup. Rob's plan is solid until he gets to the final. Then it falls apart.

Sounds eerily familiar :ninja

So if you're on the jury and it's down to Rob and Phillip who do you vote for?

Phillip. I would never give a penny to the fame-whore that is Rob Mariano. I can't think of anyone who more epitpomizes how ridiculous it is that someone can become famous for nothing at all except paying a reality TV game. Except maybe Omarosa. Actually, I'd put them at equal.

Yeah but try to see it from the perspective of someone who's played with them rather than the perspective of a spectator. If I had to cast that vote I would probably explode. Philip is annoying to the point of causing rage. Rob would have been the driving force in me being on the jury and not in the final three. I wouldn't want to vote for either. Depending on who the third finalist is, I'd probably vote for that person.

 

[Tangerine]

Phillip at least has a strategy. His plan all along was get people to think he was a lunatic, and the biggest loser so they would pull him to thr finale. Then he reveals his true colors and appeals to the jury of people who were all wronged by Rob. I think he's treating this game like an "undercover assignment." He's totally just playing the crazy character.

 

[freakofnature]

Wow! Rob did it! :clap

 

[Maulds]

He deserved to win but damnit I didn't want him to.

 

[freakofnature]

Sounds like Russell will be back in the future.
