Here's a post from the Survivor Sucks Board: According to someone in the alt.tv.survivor post, Rodger has boarded Delta flight 1008 from Cincinnati to Laguardia, which lands at LGA at 4:33. Taxgeek and others have suggested a greeting party. What are you waiting for? Someone with a digital camera get on over (gate 1, I believe) there and see if it's true. I sincerely doubt that it is, but man, wouldn't it be great if someone DID see him there?
Don't worry, my friend's down there. He'll have that shield down in time. ...Or this'll be the shortest offensive of all time.

If you keep reading the thread, there's an open house at his school tonight. Other people are posting that they called the school and the school said he wasn't going to be there tonight.

:(

I liked Roger. He has class and has played well. He has made friends there and gained respect from many of his fellow survivors. While I profess to strive to win, I also happen to believe there are ways to win that go beyond taking 1st place.

No matter where Roger finishes, he played like a winner, and as a person he is a winner.

IMHO

What a sweetheart of a man! I hope Elisabeth can pull herself together without him. I don't think any of the remaining players are bad people I just prefer the way Rodger played the game. Even if he didn't win all the money he can go home with his head held high knowing he didn't do or say anything to be ashamed of. Even Colby admitted Rodger had the most energy and did the most work. Hang on Elisabeth!!

Az, I'm a bit confused by your message. You need to quit beating around the bush!

Just joking with you--loud and clear with what you were saying. It's good to see passion in the watchers as well as the players.

Rodgers final words:

The challenges have been rough. The everyday survival has been really rough. I'm guessing that I'm 15 or 30 pounds lighter. Fifteen is probably a light figure, and the 20 is definitely much closer to it. But over all, to be my age, I would not have missed this opportunity for the world. Your values and your morals come first. Even though this is a game, if you give somebody your word out here-regardless if it's a game or not-and you shake on it, to me that is a person's bond. And like my father always said, a person is no better than his word. On a personal note, I would hope that I've played the game as ethically and as morally strong as possible, with no one becoming hurt or injured in any way, and I believe I've been able to do that. The four people that are left in the game I think an awful lot of, they're very nice people, people with high values and high morals and possibly that's why they're in the final four. I wish them all the luck, and especially I wish the best of luck to Elisabeth. I hope she goes all the way.

I like the way Rodger "pronounces" the word "Elisabeth".

hmm well on the morning show they asked Rodger if he never lied and he smiled and said that he had told Debb he would vote for someone else.. she had requested that so it wouldn't be unanimous.
Rodger said he would but when he got up to vote he worried that it would put him on the outs with the rest of his tribe, so he voted Debb.

He also said that he and Elisabeth did talk to Colby and tell him they were voting for Keith and asked him to join them, so they weren't just lying down in the road.

He is having a bridge named after him.. he joked about installing a toll booth. Bryant kept asking why he didn't keep the beard and Rodger said that he had lost lots of weight so didn't want to shock his wife with the beard. She was on later and emphatically agreed that it was good that he shaved the beard off :)

He said that Elisabeth called him the day after she got engaged. and that Elisabeth reminded him of his much loved daughter.
