When I first saw the title, I thought it will be something Rob will say to ensure that his alliance stay loyal. But the trick of getting this done without causing resentment, that requires finese. I would think he might want to get his followers to buddy with prospective flippers like Phillip/Andrea so that there is no opportunity to flip without him and his loyal ones knowing. But with the idol paranoia quote, you might be right about monitoring if/who finds another HII. If he gets his own tribe to buddy with the Zaps, he has to be careful he does not create opportunity for them to like the Zaps and increase the risk of flipping. After all, when Mike was Bible sharing with Matt and Ashley?buddying with Matt, he talked about not wanting anyone to know they like the same things and bond together, even Oreo cookies
So is the Buddy System keeping your friends close or your enemies closer?

If there is another HII appearing at this time, SOMEONE must really want the Zaps=Mike to stage some fight instead of having this be a Survivor:Boston Rob Season. After all, Rob seems to be stringing everyone along, from Grant his right handman to the Zaps. I hope Amber brings that stuff toy to the Reunion to show the amateurs what a ride they have been taken for.
Well, this will be BRob's last season with the way he took things, if he ever wants to play another, he'll be booted off as fast as the Throll was.
Just wondering why the Omes are so trusting of him, did he not throw is friends under the bus to land himself a wife and Amber a million dollars?
