"Boston Rob Redeems Redemption Island" |
LAST EDITED ON 05-16-11 AT 04:43 AM (EST)Ah... after a somewhat tedious journey, the majority of the Surviverse sleeps with a smile and perhaps an emptiness finally filled as Boston Rob wins the title he so richly deserved 14 seasons ago. Yes, the execution was so flawless, his competitors left so clueless and powerless, the conclusion so inevitable, that one could say this was the most predictable and thus devoid of drama season of them all. Perhaps. But this season had what 21 others didn't. It had one of Survivor's most entertaining and best players at the absolute top of his game. And in the end, it had REDEMPTION. After H vs. V, I listed in the Best Ever thread Sandra, Parvati and Rob Mariano as the three best players of all time. Many questioned a player who had never won being in that company. This season eradicates that argument. Yes, it took 4 seasons to create the player that we saw here, but during the Reunion Show I think Rob and Andrea very astutely explained what makes Rob the special player that he is. It is the ability to make personal connections with people as different as Natalie and Phillip. I normally erase most Reunion Shows immediately after watching them, but I might keep this one around for a while just to see Rob celebrate with Amber and the girls. How awesome. Amber is looking better than ever. Marriage is so difficult; it is really cool to see them still together and still very much in love. I would have liked to take bets on that 14 seasons ago. Perhaps, as I suggested, bitterness IS dead, per the vote, but it certainly wasn't during the FTC. I wonder now how much, like everything else, people are just acting for the cameras. I can understand Zapatera being bitter for the way they were treated post-non-merge, but where do they get off calling the F3 deceivers and liars? The Omes did nothing more than stick with their tribe, same as the Zaps would have likely done if the situation was reversed. The only people who had any reason to act betrayed were Grant and Ashley. And where did Julie get off? She knew Natalie for what? 8 or 9 days? She had no business trying to tell Natalie what her mother should think of her. Pathetic. Tell your sanctimonious BS to Lex's mohawk. Mike, how much did MB pay you for the infamous how-did-Survivor-change-you question? Great answers by everyone, BTW. Wish you would have won the Fan Vote, buddy. You deserved it. Rob didn't need it; he already won $2 mil from the show. And Matt didn't need it; he is a good Christian and the meek shall inherit the earth. Steve, thanks for a juror with some graciousness and a reality check. Hilarious remarks to Phillip. Lay off the chronic, though. Pretty obvious. Or screw it. Ralph- an idiot to the end. When did this love affair with Phillip begin? Who knew?? David, with every other advantage Rob had in the game, did he really need his lawyer at FTC as well? Wow. Great speech. Reminded me of Erik's monologue in Samoa, except his was moronic while yours was brilliant. Props. Redemption Island AGAIN?? Wow. I'm guessing they made that commitment before RI failed so blatantly this season. Second only to the Outcasts as the Worst Twist Ever. May I suggest an HII to be found on RI? A balance beam challenge at F5?? Come on, now!! I guess that's less biased than the put-an-arm-above-your-head challenge, but it is a little late for such an unfair challenge (never mind the advantage the guys had at F3 in Vanuatu and Thailand). I know people are saying Coach vs. Phillip next season, but I am going to say two women come back this time. I know this would only happen in my dreams, but how about Laura and Brenda?? Pretty please? >

Not sure he would even consider it, but I'd like to see Matt have ONE more chance at actually PLAYING the game! Would love to see him come back with new faces and see where he goes from there.Otherwise, can't think of one other person on either tribe I would want to see again. Talk about bitter grapes from Grant! Geez, you knew it was a game going in, after all, you've been playing games most of your adult life! So how different is Survivor? It's not like you get your 6.5 mil up front in a contract, dude. You have to prove yourself all the way through. Guess you forgot about that, huh? Sorry, dude. Get on with your life, and new wife, and maybe someday you'll understand why Rob did what he felt he had to do....

3. "RE: Boston Rob Redeems Redemption Island" |
LAST EDITED ON 05-16-11 AT 11:16 AM (EST)Actually, I don't think it was bitterness over the move. Grant voted for Rob. I think it was the actual first couple episodes of the show that turned Grant off. It isn't that hard to believe. I don't think Grant would ever say the things about people that Rob blithely expresses. I don't think Rob's Good-Will-Hunting brand of sense of humor would work well with Grant. In other words, I think JP was wrong. I think Grant and Rob are a lot different and wouldn't naturally be friends. I think Grant realized this after he saw what Rob was saying behind everyone's back. My original post was long enough, but I would add that one of my favorite moments of the finale was when Rob talked with Natalie about his FTC experience from All Stars. I have always said that Rob was emotionally thrown off by his "friends" being so bitter at that FTC, and that instead of apologizing, he should have stood his ground and told them off. It was great to see him realize the same thing. Oh, and one last thing, Russell, way to be the same @ss-clown we've all come to expect at the Reunion. It may be hard for you to believe, but you aren't the first person who ever had a challenge thrown so that you could be booted. Why should this guy ever come back again? >

What I liked first and foremost about the season was that it showed to Russell that you can play the game hard and still win. Or, it should have shown him because I don't think he has the intelligence to realize that it is his game that is flawed.The difference between Rob and Russell can be summarized this way: Rob builds a team and then decides how to break it apart. Russell first tears the tribe apart and then tries to put back some pieces together around him. Steve told us what the cameras didn't show: They decided they couldn't wait to lose a challenge because Russell kept going to some players and saying "we need to vote so and so out" then he'd go to those others saying they had to vote the first ones out. He tried to divide and conquer but, without trust first, it doesn't work. It only creates animosity and you can't win votes like that. Rob always goes for trust first and then he mostly lets things break apart naturally, just giving a push here or there. The vote against Matt was a bigger push than usual but it wasn't out of the blue. his tribe understood why they were voting against Matt so they were all in on it. Note that Rob even talked to Kristina first before deciding she had to go. He even offered to distract the tribe to give her a better chance to look for the idol. If building a team, including the most players possible, and then deciding how to break it apart is the best way to play the game then, by that standard, the best players ever would be Tina, Tom, Danni, Earl, Todd and Rob. This season was boring mostly because both tribes broke into alliances of 6 very early on and only Matt's elimination was a surprise. Then the merge was just a prolonged pagonging. Merging at 12 is great when you have divided tribes but when they are solid like this, it would have been better to keep them apart and let them tear each other apart a bit more. Better in the sense of entertainment but this season was textbook on how to play the game: The players don't owe us entertainment, they are only concerned with winning. I appreciate a good game.
Laura vs Brenda? It is by far a better choice than what we will certainly get. Unfortunately, Survivor would never choose two women but maybe one of those two. Although Andrea and Ashley wouldn't be bad either. I was impressed by Ashley's end game. Giving Rob a scare is no little feat!
My favorite returning players from an entertainment point of view would be Dave Ball and Bob Mason. If Bobdawg is too obscure for the average fan to remember, then I'd say Shane. For strategy: Marty and David.
Ils sont fous, ces Romains!

8. "RE: Boston Rob Redeems Redemption Island" |
He deserved to win because he was able to corral a bunch of people and have them follow him like lemmings. I said all along the person who was able to get him voted out should win. Of course no one stepped up cuz they were too stupid. The girls knew he had an immunity idol but chose not to blindside him earlier when he didn't expect it. Seriously where did they find these ##### dumb people. Rob did play a perfect game but he had willing followers that made it alot easier. Did anyone on Ometeppe ever watch Survivor before, lol what a joke. They're gonna bring back 2 prior players again for the coming season. Combine that with moronic RI and the stupid HII and maybe Survivor jumped the shark. After this last season that was the most predictable and one of the worst seasons ever, I may have watched my last episode, sadly.

As no one was likely to beat Rob in a vote, the three women might have targeted Phillip (thinking Rob was safe playing his idol) at final five and then hoped one of the three could beat him in the final four challenge. Don't think Natalie was willing to go against Rob though, and not sure (from her TC comments before being voted out) Ashley realized this was likely her last chance to save herself.

There was a problem though: Natalie knew she couldn't beat Andrea and Ashley. She knew she needed Phil and a bitter jury against Rob. Ashley probably knew it also. By going against Rob and Phil, she'd lose those votes while Andrea had bonded with the folks on RI. RI is a stupid twist which is equivalent to letting one player sleep in the jury house.

13. "RE: Boston Rob Redeems Redemption Island" |
michel pretty much already covered this, but the problem with that grand plan was Natalie. She was more loyal to Rob than Ashley. Rob mentioned it at the Reunion, and I wonder how much, if any, of a role it played. He said that he was a good guy to take to the end because no one would vote for him anyway. It is possible that Grant, Ashley and Natalie all believed this at least until they got close to the end, when it became too late to do anything about it. Natalie had it right that she had a guarantee to the finals as long as both Rob and Ashley were in the game. It is possible she hoped that as long as she just got there the jury would be impressed that someone her age could make it. Obviously, she underrated the cynicism of the modern day Survivor jury.

There is only one way to build team unity, in Survivor and in sports: Winning. A losing team will always be in discord sooner or later. Besides giving away the tarp, the other stupid thing about Zap throwing the challenge wasn't momentum but giving Ometepe the sense that they had a team. Steve should have known that.

The biggest difference between Russell and any winner is the social skills. As for my comment about Rob building up his team and Russell breaking it apart, it is exactly how we saw their last 3 seasons play out. >Do think Rob learned from experience

If you are playing Survivor, even if you are playing with a cast full of newbies, you should consider that everyone could be ready to do just that. To be surprised that someone is playing the game is like saying a football "player" would be surprised that a linebacker didn't stop before smashing him to the ground. You aren't playing football if you don't expect to be tackled.

Agree with your last point except to note that Survivor isn't a board game. You are living with these people day in and day out. Relationships, friendships, do develop and it could be difficult for anyone, especially first time players, to tell when someone is being sincere, or simply using them. One of the advantages Rob did enjoy this season. (And Russell too.)

19. "RE: Boston Rob Redeems Redemption Island" |
The only reason Rob guaranteed Natalie a spot at the end was that he knew he could beat her easily. That's why he also kept Philipp around and took him to the final. I'll give Natalie credit for being loyal, but if she had half a brain, she would've realized she didn't have a prayer at final tribal. Her excuse is lame though for sticking with Rob. She knew he would take her to the final, but she should've realized she had no chance of beating him. If you're happy going to the final without having a shot to win, to each his own. They handed the million to him on a silver platter. Lol I just don't get how each of them thought they could beat Rob at final tribal. Or maybe they really were that stupid. Have no sympathy for any of the idiot ometeppe followers who had no clue what they were doing out there.

20. "RE: Boston Rob Redeems Redemption Island" |
LAST EDITED ON 05-17-11 AT 10:47 AM (EST)Rob was fortunate to have a crazy like Phillip on his tribe. If he has to take 2 OTHER people to the Finals, things could have been dicier. The only mistake I would say Ashley and Grant made is that they never got rid of the goat. Without the goat, one of them were going to the Finals, where they would have had a chance. Ashley might have came within 5 seconds of winning the game. So, she deserves more props than criticism. I just think Natalie had to play the Natalie-from-Samoa game to win. There wasn't any other way she could do it. So, she had to hold tight to Rob and hope he ticked off enough people to give her the win. Her only mistake was not playing the social game with Zapatera, like Natalie (Samoa) did with Galu. She made no connections with the jury, and thus, they felt no empathy for her. The only Omes I would have complete derision for their game are Matt and Andrea. They both had their great chance, and they blew it. They could have been the power that Rob predicted IF they would have stuck together. Instead, Andrea HELPED Rob secure his power while clearly sitting at the bottom of the Ome6. I believe I had said that before, but michel is completely right, Russell destroys his tribes while Rob empowers them. Rob knee-capped his tribe in Marquesas and paid the price. The ONLY reason Russell's game worked either time was because of the HII. Period. Without it, he is the first boot postmerge both times. This is why it is such a joke that Russell would rant on about how stupid the Zaps were to get rid of him. I could find a quote from all 3 seasons he was on where Russell said he didn't care about the numbers, that he didn't need numbers. This is a guy that would boot the most important person in his tribe in a heartbeat if he felt that person was a threat to him. He is exactly what the Zaps considered him- a cancer. Throwing a challenge to boot him is probably the only time that maneuver is a good strategical choice. Momentum in the game is only as good as your last challenge. The Zaps WON the challenge after booting Russell. The key turning point was when Stephanie blew the puzzle against Rob. That was the challenge they should have won. But even if the Zaps take a 6-5 advantage into merge, don't throw a challenge, Stephanie jumps to the other side to play with Rob, Matt sticks with Ome, and the Zaps are screwed anyway. I also reiterate for the last time that the Omes absolutely whipped through the Wheel of Drowning challenge. It probably wouldn't have mattered if the Zaps tried to actually win it or not. They would have lost anyway. >

Russell doesn't care much about the shelter or the food. He is playing individually from the start. Rob's way is much better to reach the merge with numbers. Also, Rob's way is much better to earn votes. Why? Because those that are a threat to him can be portrayed as being a threat to the tribe and its cohesiveness. Those that are threats to Russell are threats to him personally. He has to force everyone to vote them out. That creates resentment. >And Russell played a game that

>in two straight seasons. First, I object that Russell is about alliances. He's about Russell Hantz. All three times, Russell aligned with those he could, those that remained, not those he really chose. If it had been up to him, Ben would have stayed in Samoa and no one but Parvati and Danielle wanted to be with him in HvV. Rob, in all his seasons, was able to unite a majority around him. That's an alliance. Second, Russell and Foa Foa reached the end because Galu destroyed Galu. In HvV, he needed Tyson's huge mistake to take over the game. Even then, he needed idols each time. His luck ran out in Nicaragua. Valid way to play? Lucky, really.

Exactly what Rob did to Matt, who was what the 2nd Ometepe out, why? Because Rob thought Matt and Andrea working together could be a threat to Rob winning. This at a point in the game where no one could tell which team would prove stronger in challenges and when players who contributed less like Natalie and Ashley were kept safe because they were no threat and despite Rob admitting that neither of them did nothing around camp. "First, I object that Russell is about alliances. He's about Russell Hantz." And Rob was about Rob. Fair enough. It's an individual game for everyone as only one player can win but its a heck of a lot easier to get to the end if you are in an effective alliance. Both Rob and Russell have proven able to do this. And both have proven able to take advantage of available opportunities. Biggest difference is Rob is likeable, Russell isn't. Is Rob the better player. Sure. By a comfortable margin. He's better at challenges; more useful around camp and appears much easier to work and live with. But it's not like Russell is a bad player. Matt was a bad player. "Like I said, take Russell's idols away and now what?" It wasn't about idols when Russell got Tyson to vote himself out of the game. You can say it was about Tyson's stupidity and that's fine. But Russell was able to take advantage of Tyson's stupidity. Rob was able to take advantage of the inexperience and naivete of several of his tribemates this season.

38. "RE: Boston Rob Redeems Redemption Island" |
This is, again, kind of in line with what michel has been saying, but I said all along that I agreed with Ometepe's approach to Rob premerge. The guy is a boon for a tribe. He is great around camp. He can build things. He can make fire. He is great in challenges, and he knows how to bring a tribe together. I would have hung onto him too, until the merge. Once it becomes an individual game, then get rid of him. Russell is actually the opposite. He is death for a tribe, but he is a good guy to be aligned with once it comes down to individuals. For one thing, if you make the end, you can beat him!

Ashley Underwood: And as far as the initial Matt blindside, I mean, that was brought up upon by me, Grant, Natalie, and Rob.

I agree with everything you said except regarding Andrea. Her decision to ditch Matt after the merger was primarily because he threw her under the bus by outing their plans to Rob. How could she trust such a wishy-washy player like that? After that, she had very few options especially considering that Ashley and Nat knew that Rob had the idol. Plus those two refused to abandon Rob.

Rob was the merge boot in Marquesas, but what had messed up his Godfather game then was the tribal switch. Well, and his original tribe couldn't win a challenge for anything. He was popular enough that he was one of only two pre-jury boots to be invited back for All-Stars (the other being Shii-Ann, the faux merge boot).

I'll get over the fact that Boston Douchebag won it all. He's the only one that deserved it so enuff said. But seriously if any Survivor crewmembers are listening, Redemption Island is stupid along with the idol. Changes the game way too much and gives too much power to one person. If you're gonna have an idol, it needs to be hidden well like when it was first introduced way back when. They should really have to earn that idol and if it isn't found so be it, tough luck. The idol really has turned into a joke. Hiding clues in the reward, cmon. Oh yea, don't be bringing back any former players. How bout doing a better job finding contestants who know how to play and not afraid to take risks. Anyone else have any ideas for upcoming seasons?

27. "RE: Boston Rob Redeems Redemption Island" |
LAST EDITED ON 05-17-11 AT 09:11 PM (EST)Right on, S-Joe. I guess they probably don't want to put the HII at RI because then it would be just like Exile Island. But really, that makes the most sense. Give the returnee some chance of lasting past a vote or two. I would say the obvious and just junk RI altogether, but since we already know S23 will have RI, it is useless to go down that road. Since we are in the well-known players to have never won category, how about Cirie and Amanda come back? Hahaha... I know, half of the Surviverse would start puking on queue, but I would be down with it. Like Rob, Amanda has a lifetime pass in my eyes, and heck, I might even vote for Cirie this time around. How big of a target would be on their back now after what Rob just did? >

You would think there would be a big target on their backs. But look at the last season. There was never a target on Rob's back. But I guess even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile.
