twiggy, good try, but that's not it either! that was said though, when they got back to Chaboga Mogo about his son's work ethic.

Yes, as long as it isn't the player you are currently rooting for. (so can anyone else)

Did anyone get Landi's question about Tom yet? I thought he said "who's your daddy"?

Lance's game:

Rob Mariano. You have to admire a man who learns from his mistakes or did fortune merely shine more brightly on Rob this time. I went back and looked at Rob’s play on Marquesas. Same exact Rob just a more malleable bunch of characters for him to play with this time. I am sorry to say All Stars may well be one of the weakest mental groups every assembled for Survivor. And ripe for the Robfatha’s picking.

Opening strategies. Marquesas. Rob uses his God given gifts to snuggle up with the tribe cutie Sarah. Who can forget the night on the raft? ASS he moves right in with Amber. But Amber has proved to be a much more beneficial mate than Sarah. Sarah was a target. Amber is simultaneously under the radar yet she contributes adequately in both camp chores and challenges.

Marquesas… Rob is a big Yahoo. Running after chickens. Rapping. Singing. Anyone see a parallel. ASS… Rob’s team has fun. They do parodies of the other tribes. Dancing and general silliness.

But unlike ASS, Rob’s Marquesas tribe did not do well in challenges. The tribe was being decimated with losses. Rob, having many persuasive powers approached each and every tribe member to secure his relationship with them. He did the same thing on ASS. Shaking hands and assuring the team they would stick together. Then just as slickly sliding a knife in the back the of the hand he shook.

But his duplicity did not work as well with what the fates dealt him on Marquesas. First he got swapped to a new tribe with a disadvantage numerically and he lost his little playmate. It is testimony however to his powers of persuasion that his new tribe voted out one of their own instead of one of the new comers. On ASS he nearly lost Amber but used that ole Boston charm to get her back. At the expense of the people now sitting on the jury.

Rob’s luck ran out on Marquesas as people got fed up with his bs and saw the threat that he was both physically and mentally. His current tribe is only now beginning to see the threat that is Rob but I think they are powerless to do anything about it. If Rupert and Jenna had the brains to see the million dollars and not worry so much about who they liked they would have hooked up with Shii and given Rob a run for his money at tribal council. But the opportunity was lost last week. I am sure Rob seriously considered getting rid of Rupert but I think he wisely chose the mentally powerful adversary, Shii over the physically powerful Rupert.

So it comes down to the jury. Will they reward superior play or will they suck sour grapes and give it to Amber. Who frankly has played every bit as well as Rob. She backed the right horse for sure. But she has made every step in his shadow a good step. You know what they say about every successful man.

Gidget, 29 points for an excellent summary with a lot of what seem to be consistent points about Rob and interactions!

Landi, was there a specific reason I needed to read Shii Ann's final words?

Gidget, what I'd heard about every successful man is that there is a woman behind him driving him to drink. <ducking>

Ah, ok--got it Landi :-)

At first when the show started, I thought Amber was coasting--but after a couple weeks, it looked more and more like she had worked to pick the right piece of armour, and stood behind it (Rob) intentionally. I don't know if she cares for him or not--I happen to believe you can care about someone a lot and play hard to lick their buns in a game. (the two can be separate if you don't make it personal)

People can blame Lex for the Pagaonging--all he did was come up with the game play that got them to that point--the rest of them had to go along with him though. They are not without responsibility.

For Lance's Game: (Since I'm now rooting for Jenna L., I'm going to assume it is alright to go back and talk about Jerri who I used to root for before she left ..... okay?)

Jerri played a much better game this time than Australian Outback. She got such bad editing that time, that in the public over the next 4 years she suffered terribly. Whether you agree with her lifestyle, or not, that has nothing to do with how she played Survivor. She was a much more pleasant person to watch on television, and I would assume for the other Survivors to be around. Tina's exit interview spoke of a much kinder and nicer Jerri. Jerri also stated she planned to keep her mouth shut more this time around, and she did do that for quite awhile.....but started slipping towards the end. She is a fierce competitor when it comes to the mind games (puzzles), however; she can't shoot with bow and arrow worth a flip. But the main thing I want to say is that Lex and Kathy would have done a lot better to have kept Jerri on their tribe and boot Amber.....that is very obvious now. With Jerri on their tribe going in, and the other side minus Amber, there is a good possibility that Lex, Kathy, Jerri and Shii Ann could have swung Tom over and they would have had the numbers then with Amber gone. Hindsight is 20/20.....and who knows, we might be watching an entirely different ballgame right now if Jerri would not have been booted. Regardless, I think Jerri will have gotten a lot out of this ASS showing ... (1)the public will probably respond to her more favorably now, (2) she got to see herself outlast Tina and Colby, (3) she earned some money, and (4) she probably got more publicity to help her in her acting career .... so not so shabby, afterall!
(Hey, it's not the best in the world, but it should be worth a point or two!!! - LOL)

Ginger, you are correct--it is worth a point or two--22 points to be exact!

I looked at Jerri's bio at the start of the show--the things you say match up well with what she has tried to do.

I was not a Jerri fan at all in the first one for what she did to Kel--that whole jerky thing. That was bush league.

She likes food, she loves chocolate and sex likes sex. She is competitive too--makes for a very interesting woman. Of course that is separate from the game--in terms of how she plays the game.

I would have liked to sen her bury the hatchet with Colby for the game--I think they could have had a strong alliance. I think they destination they both seek are very similar--their roads to get there are VERY different.
