LAST EDITED ON 05-15-14 AT 01:01 AM (EST)I... don't...think we are watching the same program.
First of all, exit interviews (which I admit I have not been paying attention to) notoriously do not reflect what jurors were thinking at the time, they reflect their thoughts after watching the show.
Second, why compare Tony's game to Rob's at all? As you basically pointed out, they are totally dissimilar. What makes you think Tony is trying to imitate Rob? He is playing with different contestants, who aren't happy to behave like sheep, as those cast in Rob's fourth attempt were. Why not compare Tony to Tina Wesson? WTF?
