Ok, I've been sensing the same thing.

Just a couple of points.

First of all, the editing has misdirected at a Romber F2 all season long and we all know what that means.

You mean revealed strategies don't succeed? How about the Rob/Amber/Rupert/Jenna final four pact shown to us as soon as it happened? I think a lot of the editing has been pretty straight forward this season. Maybe what you see, IS what you get.

Plus, way way too much post boot convo about voting for or against Rob from the booted Survivors...makes me believe that they never actually have to make that decision since he isn't in the F2 anyway.

Yes, but wouldn't there be more gloating, and less bitterness, if Amber screws Rob in the end? I can't think of anything that would make the bitter loser club happier.

Also, I don't think Rob could beat Amber in the F2 and since we know that Rob can;t come in second that in itself is enough to eliminate the possibility of a Romber F2.

I'm not so sure he couldn't beat Amber. Guess it depends on whether the bitter voters blame her less, or like Shii Ann, see her as the mastermind.

Could Rob be such a good sport that he would understand and forgive Amber for doing what she had to do and getting rid of him at F3? I guess that is the million dollar question.

I say 100% YES. Rob would definitely see that Amber has a better chance to win the game against Jenna, and I think he'd understand completely if she were to choose Jenna over him. She'd be an idiot if she didn't, and I think he knows it. I don't, however, think that Amber would be as forgiving. So, no way does Rob dump Amber for Jenna final 2.

I also noticed last episode that when Shii was scrambling, Tom, Rupert, and Amber all said they would consider booting Jenna. The only one who said no, was Rob. He told Shii Ann he was sticking to his word. He will remain loyal.
