All I have to say is, - what are his parents like? I mean what could produce a thing like this? It is scary. If they are normal, how could they admit that they are his parents? Please vote him off this week. Pleaseee????????? I will keep begging until they finally do. LOL It is really painful to watch him.

Sia, planning is what helps win the game. [Remember Jason, BB3?] I would never have thought to reduce food intake prior to appearing on Survivor, but that is an excellent idea.

Jeep, I've watched the show and find Kelso to be charming and endearing, whereas Robb ....

Poor Robb... apparently I am alone in my assessment that he cannot be this bad!

Hey folks--here's the other Ginger checking in to say I agree with Ginger1218. The sooner Rob goes, the happier I'll be! You are all so smart in your posts. I completely agree with the assesment that Robb was xenomoronic in his comments on last week's show.

And could you all try to keep Ginger1218 and me apart by referring to us both by our full handles? Not doing this has caused some confusion in the past. Thanks! :)

Hermione, you are truly a gracious, gentle soul who always finds the good in a person. Don't ever change!

A lot of his reactions are defensive in nature.
I doubt he is as confidant as he wants to appear.
I find him painful to listen to.

I'm wondering if he can really ride that skateboard.

If it's big enough, Alegria, maybe Robb could surf on his skateboard?? That might have been a more useful item there.

Hey, Chip, I like the Luxury Item thread you started! It's fun to read the posts.

Chip, you are very kind! I created a member folder for you in the Members Room under Topics so I could leave you a message.

Anyway, I swear that almost every episode I have caught a glimpse of Robb when he seems to be sheepish, like he knows exactly how he can come across. I thought that his exchange with Jeff at TC was pretty good-humored. Robb didn't seem to get riled up and he seemed to be a little amused. I wish I had taped it so I could watch it again, because my perception could come back to bite me in the butt. I know some people think more was said than what was shown, but if there had been more intense words, don't you think MB would have aired that? Why let an opportunity for drama be left on the cutting room floor?! I think what we saw was probably the most intense it got!

It's a toss-up for me between who I think will go this week though. If SJ loses immunity, I can see Erin campaigning for Robb to stay with the reasoning being that Robb would stay loyal during the merge whereas Shii Ann could defect and leave their numbers lopsided. I can even see it coming to a tie vote between Shii Ann and Robb at the next TC. I just have a feeling Robb will make it to the merge and then be the first casualty. Of course, I have lived in the Suck thread for five weeks now, so don't bet the farm on that.

Ahhhh, it's fun to speculate like this.

So you think he WANTS to come across as stupid?
That it is "tongue-in-cheek".
That he is only pretending to make a fool of himself to through us off guard?

No, I don't think the "I look stupid" part has crossed his mind, LOL!! I think he knows that his traits of being high energy, high maintenance, and a proclivity for "trash talking" get on people's nerves, but he can't seem to help himself. Like I said before, he reeks of "poor impulse control." Whatever he thinks or feels, he says, does, or reacts to. He seems unable to step back, observe and listen. He would drive me crazy in "real life" because high energy, high maintenance people wear me out, but I have gotten a kick out of watching him on the show.

Robb is the youngest competitor that survivor has had. He doesnt think before he speaks and blurts out his feelings and acts out just like some children. He has a lot of growing to do. If he's not booted this week he will after the merge as he is to much of a threat physically to win individual immunitys. He will be gone and we will be left with the predictable people.

I agree...they have mostly given us face time of his bad side. They could turn around and show us his boyish charm any minute.

Robb's the youngest ever? I didn't know that. How old/young IS he?

Wonder if anyone's bothered to go through the list of past Survivor contestants and ranked them by their IQs. That would be fun.

Sia, I think he's 23....

IQs- that would be fun!

I think he's 23....
Age would be fun too!
Bwahahahaha

Maybe he is the youngest ever by his "EQ"-- Emotional Quotient, which is supposed to be the newest way of measuring intelligence!! I think Neleh was younger in actual age.

Don't know about y'all, but although it sounded very nice, Robb's spiritual awakening was't completely convincing. I thought a germ of it was genuine, but didja notice that it only appeared once he began to spar with Ken and sneak the food? Once he realized no one was coming to his defense, he knew which was the wind was blowing. And he started saying things that he thought people wanted to hear from him. Positive, touchy-feely things, all of a sudden. It was 5% inspiration, 95% manipulation. (And believe me, I more than anyone want it to be true! I'm the one who coined him as "xenomoronic"!) And I think that ultimately, the tribe saw through it.

That said, I'm glad he chose to go out on such a positive note! Not only that, but for the first time that I can think of, an outgoing tribe member was allowed to touch his fellow tribe on the Walk of Shame! (Again, he was overdoing it...but it's interesting that Jeff didn't snap at him for it.)

I agree with you, Bastable. I was thinking the same thing the whole time. If he didn't know he was on the chopping block, he never would have had these thoughts.

Jeff looked relieved that Robb was gone.

He's gone, he's gone, thank Heavens he's gone!!!!!

We've talked for weeks now about Robb's inability to keep his mouth shut and how he lets everything spill out. That is not the hallmark of a manipulative person. I don't think he has a manipulative bone in his body. I can say a lot of things about Robb that are not very nice, but I would never suspect him of being manipulative. Ghandia was manipulative. Robb was nothing like that.

If he is as stupid as people have made him out to be, then it is unlikely that he is shrewd enough to try to be manipulative. Which is it? A "manipulative fool" is an oxymoron in my book.

I don't think Robb was manipulative regarding this self-awareness. Unfortunately it was way too late to save him.

Jeff didn't look relieved, he looked confused that Sook Jai voted out the guy who brought them to a different level -- if not disgusted with them yet again.

Robb was obviously a loose cannon, for better or worse, and we all know loose cannons go before the rest.

He looked relieved to me. :)
