Posting the voice overs from the promos here:

Probst : Grant!...and Rob are through! Hello!
Probst: Rob cements control of his tribe.
Rob: One, two...
Ometepe Tribe : Ometepe.
Probst: Or does he?
Grant : I'm my own man. I make my own decisions.
Probst: And Phillip gets a makeover.
Jeff Probst : Phillip, did you have a collision with a hawk
Phillip: I asked for a sign and out of thin air appeared this feather.

VO: Matt fought his way off Redemption Island, only to be blindsided by Boston Rob...
Matt: "I feel like a moron."
VO: ... and get sent back again.
Dave: "This was like a hit straight out of a mob movie."
VO: Now, the island Godfather...
Rob: "It's my game. I'm in charge."
VO: ... is pulling all the strings.
Julie: "There's no breaking their loyal shield."
VO: But even a mob boss is afraid of something.
Rob: VO: Will two Tribal Councils ...
Phillip: "I've got to make something happen."
VO: ... end his reign?
Rob: "You have to gamble."

So, what do the voiceovers tell us? First of all it points out that "Rob cements control of his tribe", but then..."or does he?" Is this misdirection?

We get David's reaction shot of the boot, "This was like a hit straight out of a mob movie". Which, I might add, David admired....more Rob love?

Then we have a cocky, Godfather-like Rob. It's my game. I'm in charge. Rob has told us many times that he has to be the leader....he can't sit in the passenger side of the car, if he's going, he has to be in the drivers seat. With the merge, they have to vie for positions. This is not surprising that he's gotten himself in the drivers seat. But, if they are making him out to be cocky, uh-oh.

Then, we hear that all of the Ome's are loyal, from Julie, there's no breaking their loyal shield.

But, then the VO casts some doubt...but even a mob boss is afraid of something. And immediately we hear from Phillip, who has to make something happen. Notice that they insert Phillip, who's going to try and make something happen immediately after hinting that the mob boss has to be afraid of something. Are they trying to say that Rob should be weary of Phillip?

Then they ask, Will two TC's end his reign? Then we have Rob noting, you have to gamble. Is Phillip willing to gamble? Is Rob willing to gamble? Note in the promo they show the HII, will Rob gamble and NOT use the HII? I think so.

Most likely this is all hype. Casting doubt on Rob, once again. It's beginning to turn into a show where everyone is being hyped as against Rob. Rob vs. everyone...hmmm?

It just seems that all of the promos so far are about casting doubt on Rob. Will he be able to keep control....once again the theme is about keeping control. It's either misdirection or foreshadowing...most likely misdirection.
