PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
You shouldn't judge everyone by your own experiences. (of course if Mrs. O had had a million dollars, things might have been a bit different)
That's exactly my point. ::grin:: Amber and Rob have major financial considerations that people in "normal" relationship circumstances don't have. Plus, they're starving on a desert island with none of their usual life reference points around them, so they're already in a disadvantaged position in terms of judging the potential of their relationship to go long-term.
This, to me, means that there is the potential for either of them to dump the in-game alliance if that's what is necessary to get oneself to the million. I'm not saying they will -- actually my feeling is that they won't be faced with the decision in the first place, as neither of them wins the F3 immunity in my PTTE -- but just that the idea of personal control over one million dollars (versus risking the other person having control of it, even if they had indicated a willingness to share) is an unusual pressure point in relationship decision-making and one we shouldn't automatically rule out as a factor in the competition just because Rob and Ambuh seem to be "in love."
