ulalame 778 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Fitness Correspondent" 05-07-04, 01:01 AM (EST) "Speculation that Rob Wins" In follow up to Shake's thread speculating that Rob has been edited to either come in first or third, linked here, I postulate that we are being set up for a Rob win. Rob has been in control of the game for ages, and a cocky winner has won before (see porn star Brian from S5). All the early quotes lead this way, and the scornful visages of the jury members will only make it that much more exciting to the audience when he wins. Jeffy's comment tonight that the winner of the car has never won the game signaled to me that a change is afoot. Why would he have highlighted that fact, if only to imply that a change from the trend is coming? One could argue that now that Amber also won a car by default, if she wins, the streak will be broken, but that's a weak argument. [P>I think what really got me tonight is that we all surmised that Amber would win reward, and Rupert immunity, when Rob won both. Clearly, if they'd had the chance, Rupert, Tom and Jenna would have taken out Rob. How could we have overlooked the idea that if Rob hadn't won this immunity, he'd be toast? It seems to me that the misdirection is trying to lead us away from the obvious, that Rob wins. He's being edited like Brian in S5, where it was all out in the open. I think he takes Amber to the finals, just as he did in the car challenge, which was arguably a dumb thing to do given that game logic dictates that at this point in the game, one typically does not leave their non-alliance buddies alone to scheme against one, but he did, further demonstrating his mastery of the game, leading to a Rob win. It's as plain as the nose on our collective faces. We're looking for the hidden signs, but it's been here all along. Hmmmmmmmmmm.   Top

rjrabbit 3269 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 05-07-04, 01:10 AM (EST) 1. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" I agree with most of what you said except the part about Jeff's comments at the RC. He made those before the jury had even voted. I can't see that as him highlighting a change he doesn't know for sure is going to happen.   Top

angelnurse 7 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 05-07-04, 01:48 AM (EST) 2. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" I also agree that Jeff's comment was made before the votes were cast. However, the editing did not have to reveal that Jeff even made this comment. It seemed to me that a lot of emphasis was placed on this comment, and the comment that Rob made (something to the fact that he didn't care if the winner of the car had never won the grand prize). Could this be forshadowing of a change in this fact. Just a thought.......... angelnurse   Top

Get Bent 293 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 05-07-04, 02:57 AM (EST) 3. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" They showed us Jiffy's comment (and Rob's thoughts on it) for a reason. It can obviously go two ways. a. The curse continues. One scenario: Rob is voted out and Rob mentions the curse just after he is voted out - "darn car curse!" Therefore a setup would be needed for the Average Viewer to understand why he would say that. b. Or as is mentioned above, it is being set up by the editing to have the curse broken.   Top

Brownroach 15341 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-07-04, 10:33 AM (EST) 10. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" LOL, Get Bent -- that's the trouble with trying to find the significance to a specific comment. Usually it can portend one thing or it can portend the exact opposite. Only hindsight will provide the answer. In this case, I believe that: a) the curse continues.   Top

JohnMc 2679 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Survivor-themed Cruise Spokesperson" 05-07-04, 12:45 PM (EST) 26. "The car curse will continue" There is no avoiding the fact that one of the players who won a car in the F5 Car Challenge is not going to win the million dollars. The fact to be observed is if both of them lose the million, or if Rob loses since he won the challenge. But one of the car winners will lose. Let's not lose sight of the obvious like 14 players in All-Stars.   Top

sirius 9 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 05-07-04, 07:43 AM (EST) 4. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" Get a load of Lex and Shii Ann last night. Did not agree with the way voting was done. Jenna and Rupert really messed up not ridding themselves of Amber last nigh. THEY HAD CONTROL AND THERE WAS NOTHING ROB COULD HAVE DONE. I cannot see either winning unless they are Final 2.   Top

mmm_link 426 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 05-07-04, 09:19 AM (EST) 6. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" I don't know, it may have been the editing but I was glad to see Tom leave, especially on a unanimous vote. Goes to show Rupert/Jenna are still loyal to the Robfella.   Top

toddE 1433 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beef Jerky Spokesperson" 05-07-04, 09:57 AM (EST) 9. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" I agree that it looked like Rob is going to win from last night's editing, as well as the rest of the season. But I don't think Rupert and Jenna could have done anything last night because Big Dumb Tom was determined to stay true to Romber, so the best they could have done was a 2-2-1 split. It seems so similar to Thailand, but why would MB want to mak A.S.S. so similar to the least popular edition (i.e., why would he use the same editing with Rob as with Brian?)   Top

Godd3ss 86 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 05-07-04, 09:13 AM (EST) 5. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" I actually hope Rob wins. I think he has played a great game. I think one fatal flaw that he made was Amber - but it luckily hasnt seemed to have a negative affect on him. He does seem to truely have feelings for her - which is where I would say he made the mistake - but again. It doesnt seem to have hurt him. I would actually be a little upset if anyone other than Rob won. Rupert is just getting way to whiney. My thought is that if he doesnt like doing all the work - then stop. Ok I am rambling now.   Top

Loree 8616 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-07-04, 10:34 AM (EST) 11. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" I hope Rob wins too. And I will be very disappointed if anyone but him does win. This season has been all about Rob's control of the game. He is so sure of himself that he takes Amber on the date and doesn't even consider the others are left back at camp to conspire against them. It really bothered me that we never got to see what they did talk about at camp while Rob and Amber were away. But that just shows how sure Rob is about his control of the game. I love it.   Top

Flowerpower 7262 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-07-04, 09:29 AM (EST) 7. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" Jiffy's comment tonight that the winner of the car has never won the game signaled to me that a change is afoot. Why would he have highlighted that fact, if only to imply that a change from the trend is comming? Most definately agree, ulalame! Not only did Jiffy raise the point, but Rob commented on it as well....definately, I'm leaning toward the fact that once again this is blatant MISDIRECTION. We are led to the fact that the winner of the car ALWAYS loses....I'd say it looks pretty darn good now that Rob indeed wins the whole pot! Further misdirection with all of the jury sneers and looks!   Top

emydi 13669 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-07-04, 09:57 AM (EST) 8. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" Oh you know I'm disagreeing with you all I thought the editing of Romber last nite was ULTRA negative. They looked like two spoiled brats that think they have the smelly money locked up Amber: "It will change OUR lives." Now I know this could mean that she was talking about how the money would change either one of their lives if either of them win, but I stopped again and had to yell at the tv last nite. DQ DQ DQ I know I know, it wasnt a "conspiracy" but I think they EPMB is setting them up so Romber only gets to SMELL the money and not spend it. Jenna received no negative editing last nite. Tom called her a motor mouth but she was the "smart one" and can change things up. Why change the way Jenna is edited they could have kept her as a loud mouth know it all but you hardly saw her last nite, like when she was switched over to Chapera. I think this means she wins. And did you see the jury's faces, no one is voting for Romber. And we know TOM is not so... I think Jenna holds out for her little ones and takes Rob to the finals with her Jury Vote: Amber: Rob Rupert: Jenna Tom: Jenna Shii: 50/50 but prob Rob ALicia: JEnna Kathy: JEnna Lex: Jenna And if Amber cuts out Rob Rob: Amber Rupert: Jenna Tom: Jenna Shii: Amber (but not so sure from her looks last nite) Alicia: Prob Amber from her look at Jenna as she passed her last nite Kathy: Jenna Lex: Jenna The only way Romber wins is if they go F2 together which I dont think happens from editing last nite. emydi   Top

Brownroach 15341 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-07-04, 10:51 AM (EST) 12. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" I thought the editing of Romber last nite was ULTRA negative. They looked like two spoiled brats that think they have the smelly money locked up. Why change the way Jenna is edited they could have kept her as a loud mouth know it all but you hardly saw her last nite, like when she was switched over to Chapera. emydi, I agree. I was also very curious to see how Jenna would be edited last night -- none of the negativity from last week was there. And we weren't shown anyone making fun of her either, as the press release said. Apropos of Shakes' theory, with which I concurred last week: as soon as Amber started talking about planning Romber's first date, I thought, Uh-oh. Of course it's possible that she's saying things to the effect that she would still take Rob out of the game and we are not being made privy to it. But... If Amber and Rob never turn on each other, MB would still want to create suspense about their relationship, imo. What else *could* he do to make it interesting? Yes the editing up until yesterday had been ominously hinting that Amber *might* be willing to backstab Rob, but methinks they're kind of stuck with each other now that they both won the cars. So, since I firmly believe Romber is NOT the F2, I'm now inclined to think that Jenna must win the F3 immunity. I don't think she'll take Rob to F2 though, I think she will take Amber. Despite the sense that everyone dislikes Rob, remember -- Rob "cast a spell" over his tribe during the game. I'd be worried that he would be very very effective at the final TC in convincing people that he deserved the money: dominating in the challenges, leading his tribe to victory so many times. What has Jenna really done to counteract that? On the other hand, I don't really see Amber making an effective case for herself in F2 *unless* she wins the final immunity and eliminates Rob, and even then it's iffy. I don't think anyone believed what Shii Ann said about Amber last week, so I don't think Jenna would be too worried about Amber being in the Final 2 with her.   Top

emydi 13669 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-07-04, 11:20 AM (EST) 15. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" Thinking about it, BR, I think you are right about Jenna taking Amber. Rob is a manipulator and much more of a Playa, despite Shii Ann's Amber vote last week. BR and others, what is your take on the F2 jury vote then? emydi   Top

Brownroach 15341 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-07-04, 11:33 AM (EST) 17. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" In an Amber/Jenna F2, it might make a difference who won the final immunity, as I said. And these idjuts are always unpredictable anyway. But, my best guesses: I think Rob would vote for Amber no matter what (so he can spend her million). I think Lex, Kathy and Tom would wind up voting for Jenna no matter what. Rupert I *think* would vote for Jenna in either case, but it does depend on how he gets taken out. If he *really* believes Jenna backstabbed him it could be an issue. I don't know if it's enough of an issue to make him vote for Amber though. Alicia, the dimwit -- who knows what she'll do? From her post-boot interviews she seems to hate everyone. Shii Ann I think would definitely vote for Amber if Amber wins final immunity and boots Rob. Otherwise her vote could go either way, depending on what Jenna and Amber say to the jury. I'll give Amber a slight edge.   Top

DoodleBug 5133 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-07-04, 11:25 AM (EST) 16. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" LAST EDITED ON 05-07-04 AT 11:30 AM (EST) I totally agree with you, BR. I think Amber and Rob are stuck together like glue. They were talking as a team (during confessionals and together), not as individuals last night. I don't think either of them will turn on the other. From the preview last night, it looks like they will have the maze challenge first which will eliminate Rupert. The final challenge will most likely be endurance in front of the jury like in Amazon (hopefully it's not a question/answer session about the jury members - but it could be). I think Jenna could easily win that. Jenna and Amber are tighter than Jenna and Rob. I think the Robfather will be eliminated at three with Amber going on to win against Jenna. Edited to add Jury vote speculation: Rob - Amber Rupert - Jenna or Amber - will he stick with his alliance? Tom - Amber Shii Ann - Amber Alicia - Amber or Jenna? - this one is hard to read and probably the deciding vote Kathy - Jenna Lex - Jenna Snazzy new sigpic by Slice   Top

emydi 13669 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-07-04, 11:50 AM (EST) 19. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" Thx DB and BR My thought is Rupert is sticking with Jenna. He's loyal and he WAS pissed off about the cars (see Marko's insider) and he will give it to the gal with the babies not a 20 something single hot dog eating car winning #####. Can you tell i dont like AMber??? Aside: Hey does anyone know when Amber would be leaving to go to NY. Do you think she's there already? I have a flight tomorrow am out of Pgh Int'L not to NY but I'll keep my eyes out for her!!!!! I dont think Tom will vote for Romber. He's no rocket scientist but right then on day 36 (he votes on day 39) he wouldnt Piss on them if they were on fire so..... (see Insider) I know he stopped and looked at ROB but Rob and AMber are ROMBER so NO VOTE FOR YOU, amber. ALicia I think will be voting Jenna. I go back to the interview when she said she couldnt be happier about her vote now. I think she has seen Romber and now is glad that she didnt vote for either one of them. But I agree BR I have really no idea-maybe she votes for herself. emydi   Top

Brownroach 15341 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-07-04, 11:58 AM (EST) 20. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" LAST EDITED ON 05-07-04 AT 12:16 PM (EST) I have a feeling Alicia would vote for Jenna too. Amber is probably going to suffer from her tether to Rob. Doodlebug, I'm not sure why you think Tom would vote for Amber and not Jenna. He said last night that he'd been backstabbed not just by Rob but by Amber too (remembering their conversation on the beach no doubt when Amber told him he couldn't be the swing vote). Jenna was an annoyance but Tom had no relationship with her. And Tom's vote for Jenna should presumably neutralize Jenna's vote for him last night, in Tom's mind. ETA: I keep remembering Rupert's comment before the final TC of S7 that "we're going to make one of these two mommies very happy." I think Jenna being a single parent would be a factor, however subtle, in his mind when voting. After all Amber has her romance with Rob to keep her happy. (And please don't tell me that people should not vote based on this or that because that is not what the game is about -- the fact of the matter is they vote on whatever basis they damn well please. )   Top

DoodleBug 5133 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-07-04, 12:10 PM (EST) 22. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" If Tom doesn't vote for Amber, how else does she win? And I am in the camp of her winning right now. I read the Insider. I read it first thing when I get to Spoilers. And I got the impression that Tom thinks Rob was controling everything and Amber was just a follower. He mentioned no sour grapes. He's ticked at Rob NOW after seeing the confessionals (Rob calling his son stupid). I also get the feeling that Tom just doesn't like Jenna. I could be wrong.... but those are my reasons right now.   Top

Brownroach 15341 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-07-04, 12:32 PM (EST) 24. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" Db -- I just reread the Insider. You might be right. I think a lot is going to depend on how they present themselves to the jury. And I think Amber has a much MUCH better chance of winning if she takes Rob out, i.e. wins F3 immunity. If she doesn't she'll be seen as more of a coattail rider. But I'm anticipating a close vote on this one.   Top

Can you tell i dont like AMber??? Agreed, emydi (on ALL counts, heh). I don't think there's any doubt that Rupert would vote for Jenna in a contest between Amber and Jenna, at this point. Even if Jenna DOES take him out. He might be irked at first, but he's the kind of person who would put that aside in favour of the bigger picture as you describe it.   Top

Scarlett O Hara 3439 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 05-07-04, 10:56 AM (EST) 13. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" "How could we have overlooked the idea that if Rob hadn't won this immunity, he'd be toast?" Speak for yourself Ulalame, there was NEVER a doubt in my mind that Rob wouldn't win immunity last night! There is no way that Amber is going to beat Rob at anything. The Robfadda is the ONLY one who has controlled this game from day one and as Jiffy has said, he even did it with "the girl under his arm." He took care of his original tribe and they became the "Happy Chappys." He was bold enough to emerge as the Alpha Male from day One -- something that has NEVER been successfully done in the game before, although many have tried and failed. Not since Colby has any male dominated the reward and immunity challenges like Rob has. I'm in agreement, I think the editing last night -- Jiffy's comments about the car winners never winning; showing the jury members shake their heads; Tom's parting comments . . . is all misdirection. IMHO, its Robfadda's game to lose. Scarlett   Top

Fweep 35 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 05-07-04, 11:04 AM (EST) 14. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" One thing I would like to point out here is "Technically" Amber won a car too. As much as I hate to say it, it could have come up as saying that Amber breaks the curse. Unfortunately that would be a lame way to break it, being given a car then winning it all. Fweep   Top

CRyanShort 42 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 05-07-04, 11:37 AM (EST) 18. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" The thing that keeps running through my mind is how everyone voted off so far has really hyped up the evils of Rob and, in the same breath, talked about how Tribal Council is going to be the most dramatic ever, that they are going to get to really say what they feel, etc. Would they all be saying these things if Rob was not in the F2? Would the jury members feel so angry at Jenna or Amber to fling such fury at the Final Tribal Council? It makes me feel that Rob must at least be in the F2, most likely from winning the last IC, and he takes Amber. I think we might all just be getting so paranoid about alternatives and what ifs that we may be neglecting the most obvious result of them all, the one spectulated about for a majority of the season, a Romber F2.   Top

steppingrazor42 283 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 05-07-04, 12:06 PM (EST) 21. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" Rob HAS to be in the F2! EVERY SINGLE jury member has talked about the tables being turned, now it's in their hands, yadda, yadda..... It would be the worst ending ever to NOT see the jury serve Rob up some Sue Hawk just desserts! I agree that there's been SO much anger openly focused on Rob in all of theire post-boot interviews that I find if hard to believe that it's not a huge misdirection. MB has tried so hard to not be predictable that it's become predictable. BTW, I think Lex WILL vote for Rob in the end.....oooohhhh.   Top

RyrieRae 416 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 05-07-04, 12:45 PM (EST) 25. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" I believe it is obvious that Rob is in the F2. The editing wants us to believe Amber is with him in the F2, but they are showing us this to give us a shock. No, I don't believe Rob and Amber break themselves apart, but instead someone else will, namely Jenna. She will win Final Immunity and take Rob, knowing that everyone hates Rob. They edited her last night as less negative to set her up for her Final 2 spot and make us think that she will win, when the in the end, Rob will, like we've known all along.   Top

Flowerpower 7262 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-07-04, 01:39 PM (EST) 27. "RE: Speculation that Rob Wins" What Oscirus said! Also, I think alot of people are giving Jenna too much credit. She's worse at challenges than even Sandra was. She has no physical stamina or coordination that I can see at all, and remember Sandra made it to F2 by default...Lil won and chose her to go with her. And if it's a mental one, I think she gets herself too psyched out...Big Tom even beat her at the puzzle!!!! I can in no way shape or form see Jenna L. winning the final immunity challenge....sorry! Maybe I'll eat my words later, but that's the way I see it as of right now. The truly one thing that Rob and Amber have had in common is that they are both extremely focused on the game and the money. They have been diverted by each other, yet I think they have drawn strength in their togetherness to remain extremely focused on winning the prize and making it to F2 together. I can't see Jenna upsetting or outlasting the intensity of Romber. FWIW. I also believe that Amber, if she should win the final immunity, will take Rob with her.   Top

steppingrazor42 283 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 05-07-04, 07:06 PM (EST) 28. "Specualtion about the jury" I just don't understand why a jury that has been bashing Rob in EVERY interview would really be hiding his win? Wouldn't they be building him up to be a great mastermind to heal their broken egos? It seems so backwards. I mean if Rob is the winner their own bashing just enforces what idiots they are. I just don't get it? Will crowning Rob the winner make them feel better about being so fooled...to beat by the winner is alot easier than to be beat by someone like Jenna...right? Someone please tell me you understand what I'm trying to say...   Top

Loquatrix 640 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 05-07-04, 07:57 PM (EST) 30. "RE: Specualtion about the jury" I definitely do understand what you're saying, razor. I think it can also be viewed from the opposite angle, though: In order to heal their broken egos at having been knocked out of the game, yes -- you'd think the jury members would "talk up" how great the person is who orchestrated their demise. However, it seems to me that the booted players have been completely focused on the "breaking of friendships" and the "breaching of trust" rather than on the unemotional gameplay side of things. They've been so busy harping on how they feel mistreated on a personal level that the have not even had time to stop and think that talking up Rob's actual GAMEPLAY would make themselves look less idiotic for falling to his sword. I've been really unimpressed with stupid Lex sitting there glowering on the jury every night and trying to look menacing with his "I am fourteen" Mohican (as we call that hairstyle where I'm from). And that sulky teenager attitude definitely persisted through his post-boot publicity rounds. You'd think that someone of his relative intelligence would realize, as you say, that complimenting the gameplay of the person who took him out would be to say, "Hey, at least I was beaten by a real champion." But these people are playing with emotion rather than rationality. Clearly, the fact that they all know each other has had a major impact -- and not a good one, IMO. Jeff would appear to concur, since he has said he'd be reluctant to do another "All-Stars" type of game. I think it's pretty obvious to everyone on both sides of the TV screen that the contestants knowing each other doesn't make for good gameplay either before or after people are booted. So many of them are focused on the wrong things, and that's why the booted players are unable to see that speaking well of the person responsible for their demise would, by extension, actually make them look like better players. Stupid, stupid people, as Shii Ann would say.   Top

"RE: Specualtion about the jury" Thank you for responding my post, but man it makes me so frustrated to think that the supposed "All-Stars" would act like that. They really are A*S*S's if they can't see how backwards they're being. If Rob wins, these people don't know the meaning of stepping up. Thanks for letting me vent...as Sunday gets closer my bewilderment grows with the jury's behavior so far.   Top
