Amac | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 05:45 am     This is what I caught of Rob's appearance on CBS's Early Show. He appeared clean shaven and with the Boston accent intact. He feels that he and everyone on the show was portrayed fairly. He acknowledged that Gabe was playing an entirely different game, and though he tried could not form an alliance with him. When he, Sean and Vee switched to Rotu, their "backs were against the wall" and so his strategy was to push buttons and lie, hoping to divide and conquer. He viewed himself and Kathy as "underdogs" and stated that he met his match in John, appreciating his spirit. Jane stated that they checked and, in fact, Rob was right about Zoe lying about not plotting against Kathy. She and Bryant agreed that Rob and Sean were the two best characters on the show. Although Rob claimed on the show that Soliantu means "sacred alliance to the sun," he acknowledged they had a few too many beers and it actually means nothing. Sean he described as a "great guy, a teacher, not lazy, no buts about it." Though Bryant tried to get Rob to admit he was just using Sarah, Rob said they were allied from the first day. He reiterated his way of playing the game was to be "openly lying" and deceitful, but stressed during the segment that he isn't at all in real life as he was on the show, that he has parents who raised him better than that. The segment ended with Bryant kidding Rob about his summer baseball predictions. |
Neko | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 05:51 am     He (Rob) was actually quite funny. They gave him a New York Yankees hat! Heehehe. He said something like "Quick Dad! Gte the fire started"!! One another note, Bryant actually seemed like he knew who and what he was talking about with Survivor. |
Marysafan | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 09:50 am     I thought that the boy cleans up mighty nice! |
Cablejockey | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 10:01 am     At first I didn't recognize Rob, he looked so well groomed and seemed so pleasant and normal. You could tell he was a favorite of the Early Show hosts. |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 11:14 am     I didn't like Bryant turning the last part of the interview into baseball banter. At first, what they were talking about was so divergent from the subject being discussed that I thought they were talking in a foreign language (which they were, if, like me, you know nothing about baseball). The banter went on way too long. Just showed Bryant's contempt for reality tv (yawn, let's talk about something interesting, like baseball). |
Muse | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 11:28 am     I agree. I thought the interview was basically over when Bryant mentioned baseball, but they ended up having a whole conversation about it. They could've taken the time to discuss more about Survivor and the vote - since that's the reason I was watching the show in the first place, I was kind of annoyed. (Not that Rob didn't handle it with a sense of humor, or wasn't amusing, though.) |
Seamonkey | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 11:33 am     It was irritating, but what can ya do? And not nearly as embarrassing/gross as watching Gina spit watermelon seeds.. |
Mygetaway | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 11:34 am     Do Regis and Kelly still do the interviews on Tuesday? Maybe he'll be on Rosie Monday... I wanted to hear more questions too. His online chat should hold some good information. |
Seamonkey | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 12:14 pm     yes.. hoping for far more info from the chat.. have a feeling Rosie will just be gushing but we can hope for more. |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 05:54 pm     Oh! Seamonkey, you are right! I forgot all about Gina spitting the watermelon seeds. I guess they are just trying to show these people are, er, well-rounded individuals who can do more than just survive on a television show. |
Wink | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 06:42 pm     I prefer the look of the island Rob to the chubby cheeks and slick hair and clean shave that he's struttin with now. |
Car54 | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 06:51 pm     Oh, now Wink, I was just gonna say I thought he looked cute today! Kinda All-American.. (oh yeah, you are in Canada, that's it, right?) The survivors have been on the Saturday Early show but this time they "do" something different, not just get interviewed. Gabe watched Keith Famie cook, last week Gina sat and watched Jenna Lewis plug her indie movie. Wonder what Rob will do? |

Tksoard | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 07:11 pm     I thought that Rob looked like Satan last night. The facial hair, the wicked grin and the red tinted color. This morning on the Early Show, I thought he loook like a young Tony Curtis. Anyone agree?  |
Wink | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 07:22 pm     You're right Car. I'm in Canada. We like lumberjacks and sweaty hockey players. |
Wink | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 07:24 pm     Tks facial hair, wicked grin, yummm. |
Seamonkey | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 07:53 pm     Wink, I totally agree.. i wasn't wild about the little goatee but thought he looked much cuter on the island, with the wicked little mustache. |
Gina8642 | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 07:55 pm     I thought he was cute this morning but very washed out looking. His tan on the Island suited him. |
Hippyt | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 08:08 pm     I'm with Wink,I prefer the evil,unwashed Rob!! |
Seamonkey | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 08:19 pm     The one I HOPE will look the most different later is Kathy.. scrubbed and brushed.. |
Cliotheleo | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 09:06 pm     I agree Wink, give me the greasy, wirey, sweaty Rob with the dastardly goatee and that evil curl in the middle of his forehead! |
Mygetaway | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 09:47 pm     Kathy's hat hair made me think of Wil, Tara, Blake and the others on AR..{LOL} |
Spunky | Saturday, April 13, 2002 - 03:09 pm     Why we still don't have the video clips with Rob on the Early Show?? The last one showing is Gina. CBS website. It's not that I like the fella, it's just that I'm curious to see if he talked with a straight face or was looking for more excuses... |
Moondance | Saturday, April 13, 2002 - 03:15 pm     SurvivorFever has pix and transcripts if you want to veiw them in the meantime http://survivorfever.net/earlyshow_rob.html |
Neko | Saturday, April 13, 2002 - 03:55 pm     Juju, You'd have to understand the fight between Boston and New York in baseball to find the last bit of the interview funny. I've been to a Boston Red Sox game. They were against the Florida Marlins(sp?) and there was a fight between a Red Sox fan and a Yankee's fan ever few minutes. Why People dressed up in their Yankees gear were there is beyond me. Except for the fact they like getting kicked out..I dunno. It was really fun though watching fights all the time. I even had beer poured on me and 3 of my friends. Fun Fun  |
