Matt lost me with his ultra religious stuff.
Then again, it could be just staged by the producers to attract religious viewers.
Rob is still there because they put 2 or 3 little girls in each tribe to fall in adoration with Rob/Russel which allowed them to have enough votes/momentum to stay. One tribe got smart and got rid of russel, but they have since been decimated.
My guess is that the producers may have wanted a rob/russel showdown after the merge.
I also wonder why the main tribe didn't get rid of rob early on.
And yes, there is a lot they don't show us. In this week's episode, we were given hints that some may vote for phil, but at the end of the day, it appears they all decided on julie.
The remainder of Rob's tribe should have wised up earlier. Rob will make it to final 3 and have with him 1 bimbo and phil. Even those who despised him will be forced to vote for Rob. Rob does absolutely nothing for me in terms of his body.
Mike and Grant are the ones of interest. Heck, even Ralph is with all his hair. David wasn't that bad either.
The wildcard is when will a redemption island guy return into the game. It could be a futile exercise if all that is left if Rob's tribe and the guy gets voted off right away. (Matt could have changed the game if he has sided with the other tribe, but there won't be another tribe if/when he returns, so Rob will just vote him off again. Rob won't want Matt to be in final 3 since Matt would get all the votes instead of Rob).
Grant may have the body, but he doesn't seem to be that bright in terms of strategy. And I think the smaller tribe lacked some agressiveness in trying to get him onto their side and explain why they had to vote off Rob.
Again, we only get to see what the producers want us to see. So our comments are on the show, not necessarily on the people there. Phil may be a very normal person in real life and is just told to act funny on the show. However, he does make some very bad publicity for the secret service with his acting.
What is interesting is that phil's pink underwear doesn't show much VPL. I wonder if Phil might be uncut ?
