I think Rob has his tongue firmly planted in his cheek when he spouts off to the camera about his superiority. He knows it makes good TV. Sure he's cocky, but he's smarter than even I thought. He's also hot! Hot, hot, hot. I hope he stays around for a long time.

He had that same arrogance in his original game. And he was doing the control-his-tribe attitude same as this time. What got him was the twist with the team mixing up. This time he's got his own tribe to agree to go against the others at the merge - and if they hold the numbers, there will be a Pagong. Then, when they turn on eachother, he'll have his girls back him against any other threats. He admits an alliance with each individual on his own tribe (i.e. "you and me, to the end..but don't let on to anyone else" type alliance). I'm waiting for the "Robfather" theme to show up in this edition of Survivor. 'squeek'

Yes I find Rob arrogant. I also find him incredibly entertaining. What makes Survivor work as a show is having people that you can like or dislike for various reasons. The one thing that they shouldn’t be is boring. Rob is playing a very good game and I’d rather see someone who is arrogant get further in the game, than someone who is “flying under the radar” and not adding much to the show.

Rob is not a fav character of mine but I will give him a high 5 for thus far being one of the if not the most stand out players of this segment. I, too want to see someone that worked hard & played the game with all they have win instead of an under the radar/coat tail rider.

I'm torn about Rob. The reason is because with players like Rob and Johnny Fairplay, they are under no illusions really about how they affect people. They are hoping to upset the more pc player and tv viewer and they do. I kind of like that as opposed to the ultra pc player. On the other hand, cocky Colby invisioned himself as some kind of beloved high school quaterback. He seemed non- plused when he was voted off, stating he had never been voted off before. You are now MR Big. I'm just glad Colby is gone, now I can enjoy the rest of the game.

I VOTE FOR ROB as BEST SMILE When he had that huge grin on his face after mistakenly throwing the golf club in the water, WOW!! Rob is a handsome guy...in many ways better than Ethan, who is more prettyboy.

My belief is that Rob knows how to play up to the cameras. All you have to do is view his original survivor video submitted with the application. To me it's his smile,his attitude and the accent. His "Robfather" routine is played well. Heck he is Italian, might as well play the stereotype. Oh yeah and he's good with his hands.....

We're falling under his power..... We will do the bidding of "the Robfather" like mindless zombies. We are TV Survivor junkies LOL Come to think of it, that tribe kinda acts like zombies following Rob as well. Hmmmmmmmmm, he must have took a course on subliminal mindcontrol LOL (my attempt at humor)

LMAO at all you guys!!! "Falling under the Robfather's spell...." LMAO...I guess I am falling under his power too. I absolutely did NOT like him when he was first on Survivor, but this time, I "get" his humor more...and I DO really think that all of the "smack" he talks is just that.... Like a little high school boy trying to look the toughest by talking the toughest. He won't ever admit he doesn't believe his own BS, but when he realizes how transparent he is...even HE has to laugh at himself....ex:..."I was on the STATE CHAMPIONSHIP golf team in High School"...."WHACK!" he falls on his keester while swinging with all his might like a State Champion.....ROTFLMAO We all HOWLED with laughter in our living room....Then he loses the club, and turns laughing to the camera in embarassment.... Those were some of the MOST amusing moments in Survivor history to me!

Not only does he have a drop dead smile, but when he talks in the camera with those beautiful dark eyes staring back through the TV at me....(wipe drool from mouth). I am in a total trance. Yeh, it is definitely a spell.

LOL I wouldn't say I'm under the Robfather's spell, but he is good looking and I totally cracked up when he fell on his butt and then let the club fly into the ocean. I find what he says on his private camera interviews annoying, and having never seen his edition of Survivor, I liked him more at the beginning than I do now. That being said, he is entertaining, and yes, good to look at. LOL

Self-deprecating humor, arrogance/machismo with the street smarts to back it up... yep, I'm under the influence too. If he took himself seriously he would be annoying. But he's fun to look at AND listen to.

Whoops... I wandered in here to see what Rob was sitting pretty about, and didn't realize it was a Rob FAN CLUB! Sorry... I disagree with almost all of you. I do not think Rob is good looking in the least (nor do I appreciate his accent). No do I find his arrogance amusing. Yeah, he knows how to play to the cameras. That's about all I'll give him. (Sorry, but he just makes my skin crawl. A majorly serious YUCK coming from me!)

Costa, as I was reading down the thread I was starting to think I was all alone until I got to your post. I too am feeling the "yuck" factor. Apparently Rob's voodoo does not work on my Zenith. Away with you, Robfather - you are no match for the will of the Zulmeister!

I agree totally with Costa and Zules. I didn't like Rob in Marquasa and I don't like him now. In his first survivor, people caught on to him earlier in the show and weren't drawn in by his beautiful dark eyes and condesending smile. The only thing that's different (in my opinion) is that he is being edited to downplay his arrogance and conceit. But even with the biased editing, it still shines through. Apparently his good looks are supposed to negate his "better than anyone else" attitude. I can't wait for this piece of eye candy to leave.

well, he is cute in a bad boy way, but i find it hard to listen to him with his accent and his arrogance. I think MB likes him and he will be here a while longer, but I would just as soon he was gone this week.

You actually get used to the accent after a while. My hubby and I moved to Mass. 18 years ago and the accent drove us crazy for the longest time. Now, even though we refuse to drop our "R's", it doesn't bother us anymore to hear it done.

I will never get used to that accent. I don't know why, but Boston accents are the one accent that I just don't do well with. Oh, and I don't have a Zenith, but Rob's "good looks" don't come thru on my Panasonic! I don't think he's good looking at all. But I'm glad to know I'm not the only one! Thanks Zules and Kep!!!

I'm with you Duckie, Rob's arrogance is driving me nuts. Perhaps next week he gets shuffled right to the Mogo Mogo team. LOL! And, like Costacat, Rob's "good looks" don't register through my tv either. I don't think he's good looking at all. In fact, the more he arrogantly he talks, the uglier he gets.

Maybe it is because I am Rupert fan...but Boston Rob was sooooooo condescending towards Rupert on tonight's show, that Rob lost a LOT of my just-beginning warm feelings. Why does he HAVE to brag about being BETTER than everyone at everything. Just when I start finding him amusing, he GRATES on my nerves. What's wrong with a litle humility.....I mean, everyone would have NOTICED Rob's eleven fish, without him rubbing it in so well........ obnoxious....

I hope for a merge NOW! I hate arrogant men & even though Rob's not ugly, he acts ugly! I don't see Chapira ever voting him out if they remain a team. Merge would definately put a target on his little hind end. All of Mogo would want Rob gone 1st & I really believe they could sway Rupert & maybe Jenna to vote with them.
