I hope the girls can use their brain to realize they will never come close to winning at the end against Rob. They need to make a strong move but I don't think they will.

I'm pulling for Grant to come back into the game with a vengeance. great episode last night!

I would love to see Rob win. I'm afraid all the Zaps on the jury will not vote for him if he did make it to the finale. I would NOT want Matt to win, or even get a chance to get back into the game. He has played the Redemption Island Game, but not Survivor.

I liked Matt up until last night. He seemed really petulent when Andrea was trying to explain what happened to him. She was telling the truth. I didn't think she said it in a "I blame you for ruining my game" kind of way, but Matt sure took it like that. I don't think he liked hearing that his own actions were what got him booted. My liking for all the men on RI really dropped when they treated Andrea like they did. They did not have to share the shelter, that's fine, but there was no need to act like such asses about all of it. If Matt is still this unaware of his his mistakes, then I'd surely hate to see him go back in and win just because he didn't make any enemies on the jury.

If Mike makes it back in the game, Mike wins. If you're at RI you are interacting with all the Jury members (before they are on the Jury). Lots of animosity is building up against Rob in that tent (and then on the Jury). He'd have to have one hell of a speech if he makes final 3.

I think some of the animosity against Rob is misplaced. Sure he is the one who is really in charge of his tribe, but its not like he voted them all off all by himself...there were other people on that tribe.

It was the "predictable" Rob show again last night ... really wish the rest would grow a brain and vote his azz out.

I'm hopeing for Matt to come back in the game and win!

I dont get how this will play out. Usually this is about right with 4 players going into the finale .... now they have to have a duel and someone comes back in to make it 5 going into finale .... so I guess they will have 1 duel and another 2 comps before the F3 goes in? all of this in the 1st hour? i dont get what they are doing with the RI .... should have ended last night and had the person come in.

I find Phillip completely intolerable. I hate to see him get the chance to babble to the jury at the final TC.

I agree with you here!!!!!

Natalie – Can’t win. If Natalie wins, then the jury should be taken to a small stream and dunked repeatedly until their bellies fill with guppies. I think Natalie did a good job and probably learned a lot about strategy from her mentor. But it’s not nearly enough.

This statement from Jeff is sooooooooo true! lol

Rob still has the II that he can play IF he gets a whiff of anyone voting him off the next tribal... IF he doesn't win.

If Rob wins the next Immunity he's in the final 3.

If he has to use the II, he has to win the following Immunity to remain safe.

Everything right now, depends on who returns and IF they win the IC.

I think people are more interested in who returns rather than the remaining tribe.

The returnee should have been at the last RI challange, not the one coming up.

I agree, it's dragged on to long.

I wonder how long Rob can play that idol. There are four in camp now, if we add one from RI right away that means Rob would have to survive through a 5-tribal and a 4-tribal to get to the final three. If we do the 4-tribal and then add someone from RI and do another 4-tribal, I wonder if Rob gets to use his idol for the second one (assuming he didn't use it on the first). Questions, questions.

I think Rob has the best chance of winning with an all Zapatera tribe. He didn't need to "betray" anyone on that team, so there is no emotional involvement, and they understand how he utterly controlled his entire tribe throughout the entire time.

Redemption Island is awful. Awful, awful, awful. RI was made worse only by the fact that a person was let back in once, only to go back to RI for a third chance, all without ever having to play a serious social game. Awful.

The only thing that could be worse is if the RI returnee wins.

Not only do the Zaps understand how Rob has controlled the game, they also might want to rub Ometepe's noses in it with the fact that they kicked their veteran out as soon as they could, because they knew what would happen if they kept him. (They're on dodgy ground with this seeing as they got Pagonged, but it doesn't mean they won't use it to make themselves feel better.)

I wouldn't vote for Matt to win if I was on the jury (of course that's easy for me to say sitting in my air conditioned office drinking Dr. Pepper). He hasn't done anything except win competitions at Redemption Island...and in the last few he hasn't finished first. He hasn't had to play the social or "outwit" aspect of the game at all. I would give it to Rob or Mike but not to Matt.

I wouldn't give Phillip a single vote. He's so totally obnoxious and made everyone's experience in camp so unpleasant that I would not be able to tolerate him getting anything.

Going now to vote for Grant to get the fan favorite money!

yes, but Matt would have to play the social game once he got back in again (IF)..AND to the jury. If he could convince the jury to vote for him.....that would be playing a social game. (At the most crucial of times).

I enjoy the remarks from Rob. Still I can see a vote where he should have won for playing the hardest, but the jury gives it to someone else. I seem to remember that happening twice to one guy...his named stated with a "R" I think.

Phillip telling the girls to at least sit up when tree mail came was SOOO annoying! I was really glad Natalie hopped out of the shelter when he got in. I don't think it is an act, that man is obnoxious! Men should never be so aggressive to women like that and she is really still just a kid! I'm glad Rob comforted her. I wonder how her dad feels about Phillip.

I really hope that Rob makes it into the finals and wins. He deserves it. I hope the jury rewards him for his good game play. I hope he doesn't lose just because he's Rob/he's played the game before/ he got rid of all the people on the jury. Also, I don't think he ever did anything negative to those jury members except for vote them off. His sequestering of his tribe was smart and necessary to make it to the end and every Ometempe member benefited from that. Besides, those Zaps were doing whatever they could to get him out.

I personally don't want Rod to win. Just saying! However.... everyone is leaving with a little coin in their pockets. I googled this pay scale for contestants.
1st Place: $1,000,000
2nd Place: $100,000
3rd Place: $85,000
4th Place: $70,000
5th Place: $55,000
6th Place: $45,000
7th Place: $35,000
8th Place: $27,500
9th Place: $20,000
10th Place: $15,000
11th Place: $10,000
12thPlace: $7,500
13th Place: $5,500
14th Place: $4,500
15th Place: $3,500
16th Place: $2,500
So, everyone is getting a little something.

I agree; I just hope that the jury sees it that way, if he gets to final 3.

Rob's control in the game, IMO, was set from Day 1 because his tribe (all but 1 or 2) idolized him as son kind of hero. They have followed him like lemmings. I used to like Rob but this has become the Rob (and, somewhat, Phillip) show and it's becoming quite boring how obnoxious his behaviour has become.

As for Matt (and all in RI) - they are a part of the show and this season. Saying they don't deserve the win because of being on RI is saying that they have all been wasting their time there. CBS/MB set this season up with RI as part of the competition so it's a valid part of playing the game.

Thats what I'm saying' .... sick of him

I'm rooting for matt to come back into the game and challange Rob, but I think Mike may be the one to win his way back in ... he's also good at challenges, for me its hard to choose between him or grant .... it would also be a nice payback for grant. hard to say who I'd like, just as long as they beat Rob.

I could get behind a Grant win. I like Rob, and a lot of times I find him funny, but I feel like they have shoved Rob down our throats ao much that it's cost us a chance to actually know any of the other players (besides the unpleasant and unstable Phillip). Part of me thinks Rob should win, just because of the sheer stupidity of the other players letting him rule for so long, but I think I would be happy with a Grant win.

I think the other guys should have shut Phillip up when he was attacking the girls about the tree mail.

I think they should have spoken to Phillip about his behavior.

I think Rob voting someone off is a big negative behavior. You can't get any bigger in this game. I don't want Rob to win.

The only one I would least like to win is Phillip
