Yes, that's why Rob was such an asset in building their shelter especially since they were given tools to do it.

I hope, hope and hope that Rob makes it to the end. I have been a fan of his every season he's been on. He makes me laugh. I would have liked to see a season with Philip playing with Coach. I can imagine the conversations they would have.

I have never been a fan of Rob, not since his first season. And now that this is his FOURTH season, I'm even less of a fan. I do not like him at all.

The producers really should let new people appear on this show, rather than (shoving) previous contestants.

I absolutely LOVE Rob. He's smart, savvy and thoroughly enjoys the game play. Plus, I don't think he takes himself too seriously. He just seems to know himself really well; and understands the dynamics. I would love to see him make it to the end.

I think a pairing of Phillip and Coach would be fascinating. They are both certainly "odd ducks" but likable.

I don't have anything against Rob, but I'm tired of seeing him on Survivor. I hope he wins so he can give himself permission to retire from the show.

I have no problem whatsoever with Rob being back. Sure we have seen him before but he is a lot more entertaining than practically anyone they had on the previous season.

I love Rob. This show would be so boring without him.

Love, love, love Rob! He is a smart and savvy player. I'd also hire him in a heartbeat as a general contractor, manager, etc. He's a great negotiator, he reads people well, he's a problem solver, a leader...and has a great sense of humor. All the way, Rob!

Yeah but... as Jeff says, Rob has been on this show FOUR TIMES now. If he can't figure out how to "read people" or solve problems or lead people in Survivor, something's wrong.

Four times, people. Really. Let someone else play.

Well, Russell was on three times, and he didn't learn anything!

But Russell didn't need to learn anything because he already knew it all...and everybody else is just an idiot.

LOL... you nailed that one on the head Roxip with one minor notation. Everyone else is either an idiot or a dumb-ass blonde.

Hmm... I think it's time I stop watching again. I'm already tired of all the Rob love, and honestly, I don't even know who else is on his tribe cuz it's all him all the time. (And really, does his ego need to get any bigger?)

Time to bail...

I've barely noticed Rob because Phillip is so larger than life this season...but I do feel that some of the other members of the tribe aren't getting much notice. I barely can tell the two women apart who sunbathe all the time. Andrea I know because of her alliance with Matt, and Grant has started to get more face time, but Phillip seems to suck up huge chunks of television screen time.

I think Philip gets more airtime than anyone. Rob's confessionals are good so why not show them. The girls just hang out and sun, nothing to show for them, I would like to see more of Grant though.

Sportsfan, once again ITA with you re: Phillip's airtime and Rob's confessionals. Phillip is a hot mess out there - of course he will get more airtime than anyone else.

Would you REALLY want to hear more from those two vacuous girls? I mean, like, wow, you know, awesome.
Would like to see more of Grant, though.

Why is Survivor casting for a Matt Elrod finale stand-in?


Survivor Redemption Island »
by Andy Dehnart / April 12, 2011, 3:40 PM

comment »Survivor is casting a stand-in resembling Matt Elrod for three days around the show’s May 15 finale. Matt was just voted out of the game for the second time, and obviously his time on Redemption Island will be discussed during the live reunion, but why does the show need a stand-in for him and him alone for three days?

The gig is for an AFTRA member who will get paid $24 an hour for three days; the person needs to be between 160 and 195 pounds, white, and between 18 and 30, with “long blonde hair.”

While it wouldn’t be strange or suspicious for the show to use stand-ins to prepare lighting—they do that on location, using the Dream Team to light Tribal Council, and prepare the cameras at the start of every challenge—this is the only casting notice for a Survivor stand-in currently posted on Actors Access.

It’s also odd that it explicitly mentions the show and Matt’s name; it could have just described him physically. And if it’s just for lighting or blocking purposes, why do they need the stand-in for the entire weekend? Are they doing something special with Matt during the finale? Or is it just something innocuous, like he can’t be there until the live show?

Here’s the casting notice from Actors Access:

SURVIVOR FINALE (Stand-In)
Reality TV
AFTRA
Pay Rate: AFTRA $24/hr. (3 days)

Casting Director: Jennifer Feraday
Shoot/Call Date: 5/13, 5/14, 5/15
Location: NYC

Stand-In for Survivor: Redemption Island Finale:

[ MATTHEW ELROD STAND-IN ]
Male, Caucasian, 18-30, 5’10”-6’, 160-195lbs, long blonde hair"
