Shi-Ann already said she would have voted for Rob over Jenna. Shi-Ann couldn't stand Jenna.

Potenially. Lex would have had himself, Kathy, Shii Ann, and Jerri while Rob would have had himself, Tom, Rupert, Jenna, and Alicia. It stood at 5-4 Rob. BUT, the theory is that Lex would have swayed his good buddy from Africa, Tom, to his side giving him the 5-4 advantage.

That is one bad typo.....Good body and Tom do not belong anywhere near the same sentence. Please fix this.....LOL

We'll never know about Shii Ann, but given her eyeball-rolling, I still think she'd have a hard time voting for any non-female finalist because of the feminist streak I see in her. She may have said it now, but then, I dunno...

Now that would have been some serious strategizing. I never thought of that angle for Rob to consider.

:lol:, your right. Fixed.

The first time he was on he was making alliances with everyone and was making the calls for each little group he was in. Sorta like Johnny Fairplay but without making everyone hate him. I remember his comments to the camera were damn funny. He was very arrogant about how well he was playing the game, but self-depricating about anything else.

He got booted early in this one because they all knew not to trust him. I think he was trying to gain their trust by not making alliances too soon, but he was gone before he knew what hit him.

Yeah. Rob C played the game exactly like Boston Rob, only he was physically a wuss and had no chance at the girl. ;)

I think Boston Rob was a lot more ruthless than Rob C. Rob C was a shoo-in to win had he gone to the Amazon final - he backstabbed people without pissing them off. That is what made him a master at the political part of the game.

Rob C was fun to watch, and if he had the physical game to win the crucial immunity challenges down the stretch, he had a great shot of winning the Amazon season of Survivor. The way alliances flip-flopped that season was a great roller coaster ride.

Yeah, and IIRC, it was Lex's talking about this (sometime around when Rob went to Lex to say he was voting him out) that gave Rob the idea that Lex and Tom had an alliance, which he made several to-camera comments about, and asked Tom about at the Finale. Tom claimed (at the finale) that there never was such an alliance, but I got the impression from Lex that he was sure about Tom, way back when...

Lex and Kathy have both admitted that Lex was in an alliance with Big Tom from before the game. Speculation is that Tom refuses to admit it in part because it was against the rules.

Tom never denied that he had a pre-game alliance with Lex...he just dodged the question.

Against the rules, really? That's interesting... no alliances before they start?

I disagree totally. She hated Jenna. Thought she was worthless. And if she is a feminist, there is nothing that a feminist likes less than a woman that they consider pathetic. They love strong women, but have no respect for the opposite.

ha ha, i loved how they asked if voting had been different if it was rob vs. jenna. Shi-ann said she would have changed her vote... jenna then blurts out "i would have won!"

then jeff says, "um, no you wouldn't have"

Shii Ann hated a lot of people while on the jury.

This is all just idle speculation anyhoot.

Actually I thought Shii-Ann was one of the better losers of the group.

Well, Shii Ann had a sense of perspective about the game, but while on the jury through the last 2-3 tribal councils, her eyerolling got old fast.

:up:

Yeah, if I had to rank the jury in terms of most crybabyish, Shii-Ann, as much as I did not like her this season, would not be near the top.

1) Lex
2) Big Tom
3) Alicia
4) Kathy
5) Shi-Ann
6) Jenna
7) Rupert

No, I'm pretty sure he said he "never had an alliance with anyone but Rob and Amber". He said "never", that seems like it includes anything from before the game.

Not quite. I believe he qualified his statement to indicate that since getting on the island. He admitted there might have been phone calls before hand. It caused me to realize that this is one thing very different about allstars.

They had some idea who the other players were before they started the actual game. Smart to call and make alliances.

I think that is a good point, but I do believe that Kathy would have voted for him, no matter what. She could also be swayed based on "who played a better game" arguement. She is indeed a sucker as she admitted and she loved him, as she also admitted.

The conversation was something like this:

Rob: Did you have an alliance with Lex before the game started?
Tom*: I had an alliance with you and Amber!
Rob: Did you have an alliance with Lex before the game started?
Tom: I never broke my alliance with you and Amber!
Rob: Did you have an alliance with Lex before the game started?
Tom: I don't have to answer to you!
