Here's how I see Mike this week. First of all, the man is a Naval Academy Graduate and he's served 2 tours in Iraq. He lives and breathes for his team. I know this is Survivor, but I do not see him throwing any of his peers under the bus. No ifs, ands, or buts. If he goes to make a deal with Rob, I think it will be in the interest of the team. I do not see him doing anything individually that would benefit him in lieu of one of his teammates.

Also, there is no way that I see Rob agreeing to do anything with Mike. Rob knows that Mike is the biggest challenge threat at Zap, he's got to be one of Rob's number one targets.

So, I suppose the only thing I could possibly see is if Mike goes and tries to talk to Rob on behalf of the Zaps...

I think Mike saying that he needs to go for broke must refer to leaving it all out on the court, so to speak. He needs to give it everything he's got, at every challenge.

fwiw...
