Boston Rob talks about winning Survivor: Redemption Island

[@DonWon313]

He completely manipulated everyone around him, controlling them mentally. It was one of the best showing of a social game in the history of the game.Yes he was playing with a bunch of dumbasses, but nothing was stopping everyone from just saying fuck rob lets go to the final without him, but he controlled them and brought a little girl who didnt do anything and a phyco that no one would vote for. Complete domination if you ask me

[@mrjollyguy25]

You forgot about the fact that Rob had set up the split vote perfectly. It was a FAIL-SAFE plan but his ally Tyson screwed them all over by not going through with it. Like Rob said in this video, you can do everything perfectly and get unlucky and still lose.

[@floodwaters8887]

That built the legend of Russell, Russell goes early if Tyson sticks to a easy plan

[@anthonymort5202]

This is why most people think it's a conspiracy because Rob had that vote set up perfectly and Tyson messed it up so people think production hatched this big plot to make sure Russell stays in the game

[@mrjollyguy25]

@@anthonymort5202 Most people definitely don't think that lmao. I know production has done some shady shit but no I have to disagree with that. I don't really see any evidence for that unlike with Stacy from season 1. I see Tyson being a smart player making a colossal blunder trying to befriend the minority alliance. What I do think though is it wasn't some galaxy brain move by Russell. I believe he even said he was ready to go home and show his kids what it means to be a good guy and sacrifice himself for Parvati since he was already exhausted from playing back to back but Tyson's error saved them.

[@Mslorrain3]

ugh all these haters saying this season sucked cause it was HIS show, cMon guys ! He made the show amazing and he DID pay a perfect game ! He's the ultimate survivor !

[@IglooDweller]

He's perfect. Handsome, a winner, and such a good man, happily giving his million to his wife. She hit the jackpot with him, not winning the show.

[@chrisluders9592]

He didn’t “let her win” lol. The jury voted for her to win.

[@IglooDweller]

@@chrisluders9592 Ah, man. You're right and I'm disappointed that I wrote that. I remember seeing her on "Winners at War" saying that she didn't feel like she deserved her win because of comments like mine. Ugh. Edited it out!

[@nathaniellampman2052]

​@@chrisluders9592He ultimately won Amber's heart and love.

[@nabilbousabir4019]

His self assurance and ability to gain such a strong authority and grasp of the social dynamics right off the bat was incredibly impressive. The way he was able to rally his team around his own agenda despite other conflicting interests and despite entering season 22 as a seasoned veteran with an enormous target on his back was unparalleled survivor game play! He was playing chess while everyone else was playing duck duck let's just give Rob the million dollars on a silver platter.

[@tf4360]

The best player to ever play the actual KING of survivor! ❤

[@DonWon313]

This was closest to the perfect game if id ever see one. Up there with Sandras first season, Tom and JT.

[@nathanrice830]

Took him four tries.

[@simplestory2]

was this 9 years ago? time flies

[@jaceeron1829]

Congrats to Boston Rob, David told the truth... Great season!

[@TSBA92]

@thehappydaggerzandme The thing is, some of the members of that tribe said they were very willing to work with Boston Rob. They cut Russell so early simply because his style of play is very alieniating, you're not good when people hate you because of how you play. On the other hand, Rob has proven that he's a smart strategist who can build relations, look at All Star, everyone trusted him because he comes across as so personal. Lastly, Francesca & Kristina didn't last long, how's that good?

[@JaCkmArc0]

@MrSaxofreak Actually I think hes one of the most deserving winners ever. Because seriously, if someone else on this season would have won, I´d have lost all hopes in humanity.

[@AllRequired]

The cast makeup was tailored precisely to Rob's strong suits and Russell's weak suits. The network knew exactly what had just fallen into their laps.

[@MishqaAchmat]

This guy is brilliant

[@kayseecoward7571]

Rob is a real life Disney villain if there ever was one- he's pretty much Jafar, Scar, Captain Hook, and Gaston combined.

[@Gouthamedara]

Kaysee Coward thats a new one

[@Tehui1974]

@94aragorn1 Boston Rob still won the game with Russell in it. Redemption baby!

[@Tehui1974]

@7009Rice You're right, Rob isn't in the same league as Russell. Rob is a survivor season winner. Russell isn't. Rob plays a social game to get votes from the jury, Russell doesn't. Rob is good at challenges, Russell isn't.

[@anthonymort5202]

Rob is all about Amber and I love it he picked his wife as his favorite winner besides himself and he's saying his wife gets the money the second he gets the check so he's all about her it's so cute

[@DallasSanDiego]

Rob proved that you dont have to be a "nice" person to win Survivor. He lied, he backstabbed and controlled every single person on his tribe. He played the perfect game and while i cant say i 100 percent enjoyed this season, i am happy Rob won and that shows that the jury is not always bitter.

[@sethbryant5539]

4:12 🎵 You see the writing on the waaaall 🎵

[@aperson22222]

Rob won Survivor: Rob? Who’d’ve thought it. 🙄

[@tulipchic34]

Rob did a great job and he made it look so easy, The people on his tribe were dummies I think. The girls followed him around like little puppies and the guys were abit star struck.

[@TeamZealand]

While that is true, and he played a great game that fell apart do to outside forces, he wasn't capable of salvaging his game. Basically, he's a great player, so long as nothing goes wrong. By that logic every Survivor is a great player.

[@silverpearl7]

one million dolars smile :D

[@ab78able]

Rob should win, just so that he will not keep coming back to survivor. Millions of Rob haters will be spared from his disgusting attitude. Thank you CBS for ending his appearance, period !!!

[@andrewcoursaris6801]

hes a star along with rupert colby parvati yau-man hatch

[@paper017]

@7009Rice You already replied to me. I might as well have a discussion with you lol. I totally agree that he's overrated. BUT, in the season of Redemption Island, no one else deserved that win but Boston Rob. He played with a bunch of idiots, therefore he's the "least" idiotic in that season and deserved that win. He was the only one there who actually played using the social and strategic aspect of the game. Not to mention he won four immunity challenges.

[@XXXfish0bubleXXX]

It took him 4 seasons to win. Sandra played 2 seasons and won both. So how does that make Rob the best player?

[@ejdelosreyes]

It's because of how dominant he is as a player. There are NBA players like JaVale McGee who have a ring while someone like Charles barkley who don't and that doesn't mean JaVale is better than Charles.

[@slospop1125]

Sandra is a better player than Rob, credit to rob he came up with elaborate plans, he adapted, but at the end of each season the winner is the person who played the best game. And sometimes the best game is the simplest game

[@KirstenRaeW]

@7009Rice Oh and btw...could you make those Granny Smith apples? I don't really like the Red Delicious ones. ;)

[@Tehui1974]

@7009Rice You seem to forget Rob's 2nd place finish on All Stars (season 8). Rob was only 1 final vote off winning that entire season, and it was a season played against survivor vets. Rob's 2nd best effort was better than any of Russ's 3 efforts. Rob may not be the best ever, but he's definitely better than Russell. Russell's strategy to sobatge his own tribe so they lose challenges, or to piss potential jury members off is just DUMB. There's nothing strategic about that. U keep yr opinion tho.

[@ElectrikkPaperClipxx]

the goal in survivor is not to be the most controlling. the goal is to get winning jury votes.

[@othfan96]

YAYAYAYAY!!! :D

[@armandderidder5282]

He got so lucky that people was so scared of Russell 😂

[@YourPalJamieEllis]

Let's be real here, this season was designed to make sure either Russell or Rob would eventually get to be on Winners at War.

[@Camille-wk9zs]

After watching again, seems the entire season was geared towards Rob. Just about every immunity had to do with some kind of puzzle competition. There were absolutely NO water challenges. This was definitely geared to Rob’s strength…🤔🫤

[@KirstenRaeW]

@7009Rice i completely understand that. sorry as well. hope you have a great day and many more to come!

[@warhero99]

@xraycat30 What about the social game part?

[@Tehui1974]

Boston Rob called it a year in advance.....he kicked Russell's ass and won survivor.

[@ymymaj]

While I think he did play awesome games in All-Stars and Redemption Island, he didn't even make the jury two out of four times he played. How is he the best? No way.

[@BrianHeidik]

Funny how the last four immunity challenges were all puzzles - not a single endurance challenge.

[@stevenvegh7964]

I seem to recall one with stairs that required a significant amount of physical endurance

[@94aragorn1]

@Tehui1974 *sigh* if you were actually paying attention to interviews from the contestants then you would realise that russell was playing a completly differant game. at first he made an alliance with steve mike and david but then before he found the clue the started to ignore him so russell had no choice but to make an alliance with stephanie and krista

[@mlyxoxobball]

yay :D

[@paper017]

@MrSaxofreak "I guess it was a smart move to bring shit into the final three" Isn't that a move that a deserving winner would make? Durrr. "Anybody could have won against Natalie and Phil" Exactly.

[@iezzzwan]

russell was screwed by his own tribe..its not fair to say Rob>Russell because it wasnt a clean season and they dont even get to be in the same tribe together.

[@brianok01]

He did an awesome job. But he was also very lucky. Most of the players were idiots and let him win.

[@KirstenRaeW]

@7009Rice Alright. I want to apologize for all the comments that I have made. I only commented just to get some stress off my chest. I didn't mean it to go this far. No, I don't live there. I made it up, just like everything else. I do love Rob, but I'm not obsessive. I apologize again. Forgive me?

[@Labbish1]

He didn't even need to play in Redemption Island because all the girls did dirty works for him. I can't believe Andrea was only one who saw trough him. She should have won instead.

[@russianskatingfan]

Agree except the Andrea overcredit. Andrea was just as dumb as everyone else, maybe dumber, until her first vote out. She only saw through him AFTER getting voted out and returning to the game for a day. Andrea has become a good player since, but this season she was useless just like all of Ometepe.

[@paper017]

@MrSaxofreak I realized I misinterpreted your post. I take back my argument against you because I agree lmao.

[@TheDutchDude532]

first Amber and now Rob

[@nathanrice830]

Both overrated.

[@Tehui1974]

@94aragorn1 If Russell was smart he would have shared the clue to gain trust from his tribemates. He needed to gain trust, because unlike HV, he didn't have an advantage of him knowing the game play of everybody else, but nobody knowing his gameplay.

[@AshenVerdance]

Do you remember when Rob had one of Parv/Russell out the door and the idiot known as Tyson fucked his game over? Yeah, thought you might have left that out.

[@anoobys]

@94aragorn1 Because russel dug his own grave by doing the same old tactic from the last 2 seasons he played... allying himself with the least amount of people and relying on a hidden immunity idol... which didn't quite work on season 22 LOL! Rob owned Russel by adapting and changing strategies! Cheers! =)

[@willgriesmer105]

to be fair russ played the same twice because the first season he made it to the end and actually thought he won. he didn’t find out until after playing twice that he lost and he made it to the end both times

[@KirstenRaeW]

@7009Rice work on your comebacks sweetie ;) copy & paste ain't really cuttin' it. and question..call me "crazy" but if you don't like boston rob..then what motivated you to type his name in the search bar, click the video, watch the entire thing, and post a comment? seems like you put forth alot of effort for someone you hate.

[@paper017]

@7009Rice Yeah, that's true. I blame the survivor producers for that lmao. I wonder why he became so popular when almost everyone hates him. For every one Boston Rob lover I see around the internet, I see ten who hate him lmao.

[@nathanrice830]

Lol.

[@AceAcabras]

This season was fixed by Probst for Rob to win! Period!

[@nathanrice830]

Agree.

[@warhero99]

@xraycat30 But you have to admit if you were in the same spot as Rob you wouldn't be complaining.

[@SmellsLikeNirvanna]

Idiots who actually think Russell plays a better game then Rob. Sure he went to the finals twice but to play the best you have to win, getting to the finals and not winning just means you played over aggressively, and thats what he did so the jury didnt vote for him. Rob did that the first time in All stars, he didnt win. This time he was clever enough to not make himself totally hated and bring weak players to the finals with him.

[@russianskatingfan]

Yes Rob is just like Russell minus not having Russell's ability to find idols, but plus being just a bit nicer and more importantly being a WAY better judge of what a goat is and what a goat isnt. Russell would have probably taken Grant and Andrea to the finals instead of Natalie and Phillip.

[@nathanrice830]

Rob's a bit overrated.

[@KirstenRaeW]

@7009Rice if you are "sooo smart" like you claim to be, then explain to me how rob was so successful in both the Amazing Races and how he has got his own tv show now. and obviously you aren't gonna change anybody's mind by commenting on this video. all ur gonna do is get crap talked to you. but hey, if you like people talking trash..then go right ahead ;)

[@94aragorn1]

@Tehui1974 mate he had nothing to do with russell going

[@66115983]

amber has 2 mill+.

[@paper017]

@7009Rice Again, yes I agree with you he's overrated. But no one else should have won Redemption Island. He's not the best winner, but he's the deserving one when compared to the player "in that season".

[@veritasdei6047]

Sorry he is my favorite of all time but i think sandra and parvati was better

[@KirstenRaeW]

@7009Rice Well, we take out the trash everyday..so you'd be traveling a mighty long way just to be thrown out. :) Seems like alot of EFFORT for someone you hate. Is it just me or does that sound reallllllly familiar to you?

[@KirstenRaeW]

@7009Rice Well, at least I'm the classy one here. I can speak the truth and get the last word in without having to curse you out :) How do you like them apples?

[@KirstenRaeW]

@7009Rice Wow, at your breaking point already? Too bad. I was just getting started. Feels good to have "out-lasted" your sorry tail. Bye bye :)

[@KirstenRaeW]

@7009Rice um excuse me? i'd like to see you try and play a fourth of the strategic game rob played. jealously is very ugly dear.

[@stolpioni]

@iezzzwan Russell has himself to blame for going against his own tribe.

[@nathanrice830]

The people on here arguing for boston rob are pathetic! Hes overrated folks! Deal with it!

[@nathanrice830]

PiercingWolfEyes Yeah whatever!

[@nathanrice830]

PiercingWolfEyes Yep.

[@MWcrazyhorse]

He dominated. He controled the hearts AND minds of everyone in the game with charisma and cunning ruthlessnes. You mad?

[@nathanrice830]

Look, he may not be a terrible player. But, I dont think he's the greatest! It took the guy 4 times to win! Plus, he was a 3 time player going up against inexperienced players! He had an advantage!

[@russianskatingfan]

Any experienced player can control people as stupid as Matt Elrod, Natalie, Grant, and Phillip.

[@veritasdei6047]

Not the best but maybe 3rd he is mu

[@AceAcabras]

Hey Rob, I think you should be less proud of the your win then the 1919 Cincinnati Reds! At leas t they were not in on the fix like you were!
