Oh Brother...where do I start with Rob M???!!!Rob is living proof of the old saying, "Once you start lying, you can't stop."
It's one thing to be less-than-honest when you are forced to react and are placed between a rock and a hard place. It's another when you initiate lies. When you purposely seal the deal with a handshake and know immediately you will backstab and deceive. THAT is what created the bitterness and how Rob lost the game for himself.
You can't be serious and think Lex would have changed his vote if he professed his love for Amb"a" at FTC??? I'm laughing hysterically as I am typing this. Rob could have dropped at Amb"a"s feet the same way Matty did to his GF in Gabon and NOOOO way Lex gives Rob his vote.
Lying to Alicia is what screwed Rob over in the end. Like I said...once you start lying you can't stop. Yeah I know lying to Alicia's face was a back-up plan in the event Amb"a" got booted, but he could have waited until he knew that for sure before lying/backstabbing Alicia. It's not like Alicia had a long line of suitors vying for her alliance. Fact of the matter is Rob went a little poo-poo in his pants and panicked when separated from his love interest and relished the opportunity to do what he does best--lie in people's faces.
Gotta agree with my adversary Michel on this one...Rob was too caught up in his lying villian role he forget he needed their votes in the end.
