    Being on RI the way Matt has been, is not an unfair advantage. He had to stay on RI 90% of the time he's been on Survivor. He's been alone, not able to make alliances, and not able to play any reward games.

    Not to mention, he has survived I don't know how many duels. He's fought to stay on Survivor, even though he was voted off twice.

    I think if anything, he (really speaking of Matt) should be in the final 3.
    I'm with mvb. I don't even think there should be Redemption Island at this point in the game. Let alone giving someone a spot in the final 3 without actually having to play the game to get there. Challenges are such a small part of the game. It would be like putting a team in the Final 4 of the NCAA tournament for winning a FT contest. The sooner they put someone back the better IMO. Just give them immunity for the first vote like they did in the Pearl Islands.

    And yes I'm willing to be Rob has a plan for introducing his HII. He has been cocky and arrogant from day one and it hasn't stopped him from being 5 steps ahead of everyone the entire game. Whether it works or not is another story though.

      There are only three eps left this season (May 4, 11, 15). I'm guessing there's a final four-way Redemption Island challenge this week with the winner rejoining the tribe. I'm hoping Matt wins, only to be immediately voted off again.

        And you think they'd figure out that it would be difficult to win against Rob if they go with him to the final 3.
        They should've took Rob out already, using 1 or 2 from the other tribe. It'll be harder to make a move now. Rob may not even have to play the HII.

          How is it harder? All 5 other members would have to be ignorant to think they're all going with him.

          All it takes is 3 people and Matt to pull a blindside.

          Now that it's back to the old Ometepe tribe and only the Ometepe tribe, it's everyone for themselves. No one needs to follow Rob's leadership to get to the final 3. They all need to make it a game for themselves.

          3 people that I think will make a move and form a new alliance would be

          Phillip
          Grant
          Natalie

          I feel that Andrea and Ashley are both Rob's little soldiers, so they won't leave his side.

          But Phillip knows he won't win if Rob is in the final 3 and I can see his paranoia getting in the way regarding Rob and the girls. Grant will realized, Rob will get more votes than him based on popularity, and Natalie is the only girl out of the 3 that looks clueless when it comes to strategy within the game. So they could sway her vote.

          I know it seems that everyone, especially Grant and the girls are following Rob's every little word, but I think that will change once they realized how close they are to the money.

            Because there are less numbers to work with. Any 2 of Rob's tribe could have picked up 2 sure votes last week.
            Also, now Rob will be more on guard - he knows his tribe has to turn this next vote. And he can play the HII.

              They are, but they waited to long now. I think they all assume they can let him do all the work and then get rid of him on the last challenge.

                Everyone seems to assume that if Rob makes the final tribal council, his superior gameplay will be rewarded by the jury. That's rarely the case, especially for a "villain". Most likely whichever coattail rider Rob drags to the final with him and Philip will be the undeserving winner.

                  I could easily see all 5 Zapatara's voting for him. They recognize how Rob has completely controlled his entire team and they seem to have a lot of respect for that. The only person Rob has screwed over at this point is Matt and I could still see Rob getting that vote.

                    Philip can't win. He lost too many votes with his absurd behavior.

                      Yeah and I think Natalie and Ashley aren't very well liked either. Andrea and Grant are the only two I can see even giving Rob a run for his money in the finals.

                          I was rooting against Rob, but after his effort in the challenge this week he won me over.

                              Well, it looks like Phillip's "crazy" is a deliberate attempt to get dragged into the final where he will (supposedly) make a compelling argument / revelation...

                              Can't wait to see how all this plays out...

                                I am hoping that the thrown challenge to get Russell out still comes to bite someone in the ***. Also hoping Philip makes it, just to see what his statement to the jury is. I've said all along this guy is probably a genius. You can't be that dumb and make it through so many years of military and whatever agency he is in.
