Yes, I am enjoying Redemption Island. Those players should be thrilled that there is another option for them to get back in the game post boot. And, they get to do a challenge every 3 days, and they get to know everyone that goes through, and collect all kinds of information. I think it's a great twist. Regarding Matt. He did seriously blow it. Even Andrea felt like he threw her under the bus. He waffled way too much. He should have thought about what he'd do going back into the game on his first night out, stuck to it, and implemented it, like a well orchestrated production. He is the one that has had the luxury of seeing how Boston Rob has operated for 3 prior seasons. And, as someone has pointed out before, Boston Rob has always taken out a threatening male early....As Rob noted, he had a girl friend in the game, and he played end game on the first week...he was a guy that could have won.
Rob also noted that he shared a common interest with others, his Christian faith, but when there are a whole bunch of them, they need to be broken up. And, he's right...the Chrisitian coalition could have flourished and done him in. I find no fault in someone that identifies the powers arising around him, and then cutting them off at the feet.
Matt is a sweet, kind, young man who was way over his head. It was shown to us on the first day, when he asked..."Boston Rob, are you really from Boston?"
After cutting someone's throat, do you think it's a good idea to fully trust them when they come back? Absolutely not, I would have done the same thing. I thought it was kind of amusing to hear the Zaps reactions to the move....they haven't got a clue either...but, maybe this action was a wake-up call to them, and we'll really start to see some interesting game play...
