In an interview, didn't lex say that rob called him crying after a relationship he was in went sour? maybe rob does seem like what yall think he is on t.v. but you know we don't really know what these people are like in real life. Maybe he really does care for amber, and she for him. everybody jummped on their soap crates to defend rupert's daughter when a poster decided to say nasty things about his little cutie, so i'm going jump on mine to defend rob and amber.. i'm a sucker for love and hope that they are enjoying their run with it.

I agree Jimmer and 1kid4us. I think Rob is showing us the real Rob and I truly believe he has real feelings for Amber. He has that bad boy vibe (love that) but also has the hidden heart of gold. I think it's really sweet how taken he is with Amber. And, dare I say, I like Rob's sense of humor. I like his sarcasm. I think Rob can laugh at himself, not just at others. I can see Rob winning this game if the players vote out of respect for game play. It happened with Hatch, who I never thought would win, so it could happen again. Remember how Cristy said she's never vote for her step-sisters to win and she did?

Yes, I don't think there's a risk that Rob will ridicule and make fun of Amber behind her back. So it must be love!!

LMAO Kep421!!!!! That is EXACTLY what I have been thinking all this time.....Rob MUST be in love with Amber...because he never ridiculed her behind her back yet!!! Poor Rob....he is so predictable to everyone but the survivors!! LOL

Maybe the rest of the Survivors are totally on to Rob, but they are using him and his strategy to advance their own game, planning to vote him off as soon as they get rid of a few extra players. I don't think they are believing Rob and his BS. I give them credit for being smarter than that.

I think it's true love. I also think Rob's a good guy. I think his teasing is just that. If you take it with good humor it's all good. I've noticed repeatedly that folks on the internet like to take things WAY TOO seriously and blow statements into things that were never intended. There's no stopping that, but out in the real world, Rob's a good guy with a wicked self-depricating humor. And, he's owned this game. Frankly, he's already outplayed every person there. I hope he makes it to the end and takes home the million. I've been really unhappy that Amber was allowed to play the game, she's boring, she played a terrible game the first time around and doesn't deserve to be called an 'All Star'. It bugs me that she was cast only because she's pretty, I can think of at least 5 females more deserving of her spot than her, not including those who turned MB down. But in the real world? I think she's a sweet, kind person. I hope those two are happy together.

I agree with most all of you. I truly like Rob but after Shiann won the immunity I'm hoping she will win just because of the way she was treated by all of them. I admire Rob for building a great shelter and being a leader, I also like his comments, I find him funny. I loved Lex but he should of realized Rob could not promise anything in this game when it gets down to it. I'm glad Alicia is gone and hope Jenna is next.

not a rob fan at all....but if he takes amber to final 2 and sticks with her, he gets the money either way--he wins it himself or he latches onto amber

Hate is such a strong word, and I'm not sure I actually hate anyone, but I think my feelings for Rob come as close to that emotion as they ever will. When Shi-an won immunity I was turning handsprings down the hall...When Shi-ann pointed at the remaining tribe members and went HAH!! I was right there with her!! Finally, something did NOT go the Robfather's way. The look on the "puppetmaster's" face was priceless...a marionette has broken her strings and is running amok in HIS tribe...hahahahahaha I loved last night's episode.... only wish there were more like that!!!

I’ll have to re-watch the tape but I thought that Rob took Shi Ann’s victory rather well. It was Alicia who acted ridiculously as if Shi Ann didn’t have the right to even try to win and to be happy when she did. Very sour grapes from Alicia and a truly absurd reaction. On a personal note, I was thrilled when Shi Ann won – it was a great gutsy performance. Also, I’ve enjoyed watching Rob on this show – he’s kept it interesting.

i totally agree with Gina - Rob has played a great GAME. i didn't think Ambuh deserved to be on the All Stars at first but somehow after Rob and she became a 'couple', it was, easier to to to... <-- lost my trail of thought??? a lot of people are saying this ASS sucks, and they hate Rob. i feel just the opposite. i can't wait for thurs. to come to watch the show. i love the way Boston Rob is playing. when Shii Ann went to Rob to see where he stood, he was honest and he nicely said she had to win the IC, imo. i just don't get why most people are so against him. as Jimmer just stated - he's kept it interesting

I think Rob probably in real life is a nice guy. But this is a game. And anything he's doing now it's all game related I am guessing. Perhaps even his relationship with Amber?

Amber and Rob have frequently been seen together since the game finished; including at Saturday mass. My guess is that the relationship is quite real and quite serious.

I'm gonna be in the minority here, but I like Rob and I like Amber. They're fun to watch for me. Even Shii Ann said that Amber was one of the shrewdest players out there. What a difference from her original show. And I view Rob as just a big goofball, who seems to have a good handle on playing this game.

You're not alone, Lycan. I like them too and even hope they win. I'd much rather see either of them win than any of the others, especially Rob. He's been entertaining and made it all fun.

I agree Jimmer, Rob seemed to take it well. It was the "Alicia" player that had the problem. I loved how Rob said he had wanted Alicia gone from early on. Just classic. What a great turn out for a show. I felt like I was watching the Wizard Of Oz and Alicia was melting. Too bad, (not)

i don't care for rob for the same reason i didn't care for andrew. somehow, they each decided they were the 'boss' and started calling all the shots and the others just fell in line like sheep! i don't know whether to bop rob over the head, or bop the others over the head for being idiots! it has also been hard for me to warm up to rob since he was such a lazy person on the last survivor he was on. he and sean and vee...and then vee won the entire thing?! i think the group was not very bright to not vote rob off last night. he is just closing in on the home stretch now, with all the plays/players falling into place.

"i just don't get why most people are so against him." Because, for me, he behaves with little class or tact. He behaves obnoxiously towards others and like a poor winner with his snide comments during voting at Tribal Council. Of all the arrogant Survivor players in all Survivor shows, he has behaved the most arrogant of all. His presence on this years show, along with all the negative vibes that already exist, have made it, at times, painful to watch. JMO.

I'm really happy for Rob and Amber if they do indeed have a good thing going on as it isn't easy in life finding that special person. But does that aspect of their relationship change my mind about Rob? Nope, lol.

Yes, Rob's arrogance negates the positives, like his abilities in the challenges. His arrogance to me also negates any physically attractiveness he may possess. Pretty is as pretty does. Pride goeth before a fall. What goes around, comes around. Maxims that were coined for a reason. In Rob's case I hope he eventually learns these lessons.

I don't know what to feel about Rob's personality. While he does make "arrogant" comments, they seem to be mostly in confessionals. Those people living out there with him seem to like him and they are not scheming to get rid of him. (They seem to dismiss thoughts of voting him off) So there must be something appealing to them. And from a pure SURVIVOR tactic, I would have to say he has totally DOMINATED this show as the strongest, shrewest, and fiercest. It is hard for me to compare his game to any of the others (except maybe Rupert -- but he has made some big gaffs) and think he doesn't deserve to win. I go duck and hide

I've come to believe that Rob's position to date is only a very small part due to his own "charisma" and/or so called gameplay. Mostly he's top dog, because no one else in his tribe wants to be. To me, its not so much that Rob deserves to win, its more that the others in his tribe DON'T deserve to win due to their lack of actually participating in this game. Just about everyone in the original Chapera tribe is saying to themselves.. "ok, I got this sweet deal with Rob and Amber...so I'm sitting pretty and aint gonna do anything to jepoardize my position for 3rd place." In that respect, (and except for Shi-ann, who is probably gone soon) ROB is the only REMAINING person deserving of the win. But his "deserving" has nothing to do with his gameplay or personality. I personally still don't like the way Rob acts like a schoolyard bully who actually believes he is so much better than anyone else on the island. But if the other contestants want to sit by and literally hand Rob one million dollars, I guess that's their choice.
