The hurt feelings that Cathy and Lex have, come from the fact that they were both "friends" with Rob. Rob called about problems he had and has spent time in both their homes.

It is easy for us to say "sour grapes" about their attitude but Rob did put the game ahead of their friendship. I hope they will be able to get past this but I dont think so.

I understand that it is a game but I was not playing the game and they are not my friends so it would be easier to play with strangers. There are people who will do almost anything for money but I'm not one of them. Why not make an alliance with them to final 4 and spare the friendship along with trying to win? They made alliances with everyone else. Would you lie to your good friend for money?

I don't think they will ever film another ASS because all the players know your game plan.

I hope that they don't have tribes next season and put all of them together on one beach then draw numbers for competitions. They need to stop pagonging.

Robs team was young except for BT while Ruperts team was older.
Richards team had to many winners on it. Did this make a difference?

Did Rob put the game ahead of their friendship? I’m not convinced that he thought that his decision to not support Lex, would be the end of their friendship. I think that he thought that their friendship was stronger than that. The irony of that is that at this point Lex is effectively putting the game ahead of their friendship (unlike Cathy who is willing to value her friendship with Rob over and above the game).

Amber mentioned on the Early Show today that they are not allowed to "SHARE" their winnings...it's in the contract they sign. Bet that will make for interesting spending habits.

What happened with the handshake was this - Rob put out his hand and Tom reached as if he was going to shake it, but then he wanted to make one more point to Rob and he started pulling his body back a bit. I think that Rob momentarily thought that Tom was going to give the non-handshake again and he started pulling back his hand, then Rob saw that Tom was only trying to make one more point and he extended his hand fully again and waited till Tom was through with his point and they shook hands.

Exactly Azriel ....... some of y'all are reading WAY too much into it.

What cracked me up was that, even in the end, Rob was still making the decisions. Amber asked him who to give the car to, he first said "it has to be your decision" and then he said "who cast the deciding vote?"

Personally, I would have given it to Kathy. I take back every mean thing I ever said about her. That was very big of her to giver her vote to Rob and I was very impressed. So yeah, I take back everything I've ever said .............. and I give it all to Lex!!!!!

Ok ...... got to back to the web site and vote for Rob another 20 times!

I thought it was against the rules to talk to eachother until after the show ended...wonder why JP didn't call them on that!!

I wonder how not sharing the money works after you get married.

Jeff said in an interview once- I don't remember where I read it- but he said yeah they're not supposed to but then again, how do you stop them? It seems like they tell them not to and want them not to but don't really enforce it too much.

Amber: "They were idiots for not getting rid of me or him, every single week."
Survivor All-Stars winner Amber Brkich says what we were all thinking: "They were idiots for not getting rid of me or him, every single week." The "him" she speaks of is, of course, her now-fiance Rob. She tells USA TODAY, "It was so obvious. They thought we were caught up in each other more than the game. They were wrong." Rob tells the Boston Herald, "Feelings got hurt. They can't handle the fact they got beat. It's sad for me because it cost me a million bucks." USA TODAY also reports that, as of yesterday, 3.6 million people have already voted to give a Survivor $1 million. Early ratings for the finale indicate that an average of 24.1 million people watched the first two hours, while an average of 25 million watched the reunion -- although the finale technically spilled over into the 10 p.m. hour.

The only person who cost Rob a million was Rob. He played his way and it was the way he played that lost him the million to Amber.

Actually the way he played got him to the final 2, with the person he wanted to be with. So not sure his way was so unsuccessful, regardless of whether you like it or not lol.

Lurk, I was just commenting on Rob's comment that it was the whining of the other contestants that lost him the million bucks... see above:

"Feelings got hurt. They can't handle the fact they got beat. It's sad for me because it cost me a million bucks."

He obviously thought that everyone should think he is as wonderful as he thinks he is... even tho he did treat the people who would end up voting for/against him shabbily.

Rob just didnt figure that people would be bitter over getting screwed by him. He thought he could play the game a la Richard. The difference between Rob and say Richard is that everyone knew Richard was a liar and not to be trusted but Rob managed to actually convince a few people he truly had an alliance with them. Rob cost Rob the million bucks. She should have realized that Amber outplayed him by sitting back and letting him do the dirty work.

Very true Kep. These people have to keep a balance in how they are playing because their fellow players end up being, judge, jury and executioner.

Maybe he didn't give enough thought to the final outcome and how it would be perceived he'd played the game.

I found this at a Survivor Newsgroup site:

<<Amber told Regis that she and Rob had agreed in advance to let her have the
final immunity if they were final two.
Rob went back on his word.
And SHE TRUSTS THIS GUY NOW. She is nuts>>

I don’t know. It was pretty clear to me when I watched that Rob came very very close to letting go of the idol immediately after Jenna was eliminated. In fact I was sure he was going to let go and then he didn’t and they ended up discussing it. I can’t remember what made him stop.

Jeff made him stop and think. It looked like Rob was about to step off when Jeff said, "Wait, wait, wait. Catch me up. What's going down? You're going to give her immunity?" Rob thought about it some more and decided to fight for it.

And as I recall after Jeff stopped him, they chatted and mutually agreed to both really fight it out and see who wins. Interesting point that Jeff stopped him though. Guess they wanted more of a fight to the finish to show lol.

Well we have been commenting about Lex, Kathy, Alicia, Tom being sore losers. I guess we can add Rob M to that group.
Now he is complaining that it is the jury's fault that he lost because they voted on their emotions instead of who played the game best. True but those on the jury that did that did not think you played the game fairly. Rob didn't break any rules here so they are basicly wrong but it is their choice to think that way.
So, Sorry Rob but just as you choose how you wanted to play your game the jury can choose how they want to vote(on emotion or how you played).
