After spewing vile comments about these three remaining women for the past three months, all of a sudden he's Mr. Charming. If he had shown more of this side of himself during the game, no doubt he would have lots of supporters. I think that a big part of his attitude change has nothing to do with the game and is because he is wooing Erika. It scares the crap out of me that this guy will be walking around on the street and may bump into my daughter while he's in his Mr. Charming persona only to turn back into Robert when she least expects it.

Which is probably why Erika fell for him the first time...She and his ex said "he can be very charming"..unfortunately then the real Robert surfaces...

Robert is a little harmless fly on the wall.

He gets mad when he loses, and is happy when he wins. That's all.

Some fly... more like a cobra, hypnotising his victims so that he can strike at leisure!

He's bipolar if you ask me.

This might be normal Robert as opposed to Locker room/hanging with the guys Robert.

If his normal "tude" is to imediately start trashing on women when things aren't being handed to him he better hope he never has a female boss after this little journey.

I do agree he is as harmless as a fly when it comes to intimidation however he has one foul approach when it comes to women.

I don't agree with the "mad when he loses, happy when he wins" statement. Some of his most vile utterings where made when "his team" had the upper hand in the house.

I think that's Robert's defense mechanism because of his feeling really inferior to others in the house..he's afraid of the women because they don't like him and plot against him. He wanted the guys to like him so he made up the stuff about all the people he knew. Did you ever notice how needy he was when he was begging justin and jee to move in with him? What's with that? How many people offer a house to share with someone they've known for just weeks?

Robert is SO predictable, that's why he's such a harmless little <LC>.

There is just the teeny-weeniest shred of hope for Robert.

He actually admitted that he admired the way Erika played the game because she was true to her alliance. I don't think it ever occurred to him before that a woman could have any redeeming qualities.

I wonder if the men made him feel inferior? That seems more likely then the women. Not only is he the only man in the house right now, but he is the man with the power. I noticed in the last day or so since Jee left, that he has been almost "looking after" these "girls"

Guess we will have to wait and see his DR confessions before we know how he actually feels about all these girls.

I think we would have seen an entirely different Robert if he had come in with the original group and not the EX's.
He wouldn't have been a target from the beginning and different alliences would have been formed.
I also think if Justin or Jee hadn't jumped on the "trash the women" bandwagon and had called Robert on it, he would have stopped.

I wanted to edit and add...that now it is only women... and he seems to be gaining a sense of security and self confidence...I can see where the original poster would find him scary. (to women) Being he feels in control around women. Of course this is only my opinion.. I don't know Robert...but his presence in the house has certainly changed being around only women/or having power.

He wouldn't have jumped on the "trash the women bandwagon" if someone told him to stop.

Hmmm... So I can rob a bank unless someone tells me not to do it?

I think he is what he is and if this game had been with strangers I doubt he would have been in the house very long. He doesn't exactly attract people to him. The DT was sorta forced on all three guys. However, I am liking the fact he got this hoh so I am immune to his childish ways at this point. Lets see if he can go the rest of the distance. Best of luck to him. Boy is he gonna have a lot of explaining after they all see the tapes.

I agree with both C1 and Busy.

I think things would have been different if he didn't win the HOH. Now he feels he has the power - though the girls have been quick to tell him that its the veto holder that has the power.

I had to laugh earlier today when Rob was talking to Jun alone in the kitchen. He told her again that he didn't care about the money just wanted ali out.

Then he says that he's sure he'll get lots of dates from this when he gets back home. Will girls be dying to date him after this? I think not if they actually watched the show. He must date very young impressionable girls.

You also have to wonder at Robert's logic telling Erica that if she wins the veto tomorrow that she'll win the game. The guy is in such a rush to get the game over that he wants to skip a week of it. What a shock he'll get if he isn't in control when he finds out about the show extension to September 24.

No, it isn't a bad word, unless it's used in the context of name calling.

Note the post made at 6:17 by another moderator--no name calling.:)

LOL Rainwoman.

I think he's harmless--hot air. Not that I enjoy how he trashes women when he's with the guys, I just think he's full of it. And I agree with whomever said he's insecure. I think he's very insecure.

He's also trying to stay sober, which is work--self work. I've been around 12 step programs for years and it's not easy. There were several times he seemed really depressed to me. Not making excuses for him, just stating things from my perspective.

I find his mood swings to be troubling.

Now that he's in power (and i believe he can't believe he's in power, so he has to keep testing it and proving it), he's become pushy. All the flirty stuff with Erika and I mean like the grabbing her, joking that she can't talk about sex to anyone because it gives him ideas and dreams, his pushing her about giving him a massage, pushing her to come dance with him, telling her that he told the DR that you never know what could happen but Erika can come into his room and bed anytime, no knocking required and trying to get her to say she'd consider dating him.. he keeps telling her he has no committments outside the house..

I bet her mother is just SCREAMING.. NOOOO!

And he also is pushing his power with Ali, determined to make her spot him on the weights.

As for the excuse that the other guys egged him on, yeah that is true and I'm sure that is why even Jack stepped up the foul mouth aspects of his game.. BUT.. Robert is 33. Jee is just 24 and Justin is younger.. seems to me that Robert should have been the good influence on the others.
