It’s crazy how different survivor would be if rob didn’t come back for allstars

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

Imagine if they had brought back Gervase or Sean Rector instead. They actually made it far enough that one of them should of been on All-Stars.

[@ghinx3972]

Once Upon An Island honestly I was surprised they brought rob back I mean other people could of come back that were more deserving from the previous seven seasons.

[@zaxbysliga7785]

I think if Rob didn’t make the merge Survivor would have been sooooo much different

Bringing Rob back was similar to them bringing Tyson back.. Had less to do with their initial placements and more to do with the fact they give great confessionals... And now they're both legends

I get a ton of nostalgia watching this show because I watched quite a few of the first 10 or 15 live and then a scattered few others over the years, and recently. This show does really tap into our true, raw ancestral selves and roots in my opinion, varnished as a reality TV game show

[@Rahrah_tee]

It was painful hearing him say things like "he's a big time queer, won't be sleeping beside him tonight". How things have changed!

[@marlenepearson9657]

I didn't like him at first either. I loved watching him grow and change in every way. Really love and respect him now. ❤ My best goes out to him, Amber and their 4 girls.

[@mattborowski522]

The execution of his strategy was a bit sloppier than subsequent seasons, but one underrated aspect to me between this season and future ones is him taking control of the immunity challenges. In Marquesas, he really only lead the challenge where he navigated the Roto tribe through the maze that ultimately lead to Gina getting voted off. In his future seasons, he became arguably the most dominant pre-merge challenge competitor Survivor has seen with his strength, clutch puzzle solving abilities, and ability to strategize and lead his tribemates. He went into the merge in All-Stars and Redemption Island with the numbers and would have likely had the numbers in Heroes vs Villains had Tyson not voted himself out. When he has numbers at the merge, he is virtually unstoppable since he keeps his alliance pretty airtight and is among the strongest individual immunity threats (I believe he won 4 in both All-Stars & RI).

[@esdeathisbae9480]

Yes

[@RankopediaHarvey]

That is a solid observation. I bet what happened to him in Marquesas taught him how important numbers are pre-merge. In Marquesas, he was satisfied with his tribe losing numbers as long as he had control over the small number (1 or 2 players) at his side. In Marquesas, he met his true adversary, John, and John had him because John had the numbers. Rob learned these lessons.

[@blazegod8490]

Watching rob this season was so fun, it was nice to see him return in all stars.

[@CheefChaos]

I agree, alot of the 'Villian' moments can be associated with a younger 20 Year Old attitude. We've all been there.

[@zachnolan3378]

Funny how on paper it’s quite relatable to Russel in Samoa. A guy who joins the tribe, takes out any who oppose him, rules by fear, controls a weak dud tribe, tries to make the group cannabalize themselves for the first vote that he’s outnumbered. He uses Sarah like Russell uses Natalie however can’t hold onto her as long as he does. They also both fit the “Mafioso” Archtype (survivor reddit detailing all player’s)

He was taking his daughter to her school dance and the dude looked 40 pounds lighter. Check it out. What i mean is that he was on an island for a long time eather way if he was out early or made it to the end. Usually whight loss is a sign. And when i saw some of the pics and intervew i thought ohhh he made it far. Bc some pics show some wight loss to me at least. Then i remembered that edge of extinction is in play so thinner or fatter it doesnt matter. Am not exactly sure when the season ended. But i heared that season 39 and 40 where shot back to back only 2 weeks a part. And am guessing season 40 must have been over well a head of season 39 airing. 3 1/2 months at least from season 39 reunion. I would assume contestent gain lots of whight right after a season ends

He has matured, but his gameplay style stayed pretty much the same in Redemption Island.

[@MA-hb3le]

Once Upon An Island his social games improved significantly. In redemption he made sure he made very strong bond to every single member of his tribe. Andrea pointed out that he spent 2 days making her chair like a brother does to his sister. Also. At the merge, he was nice to the members of other tribes while getting his own tribe not to talk to them

[@faultyvideos2215]

You're gonna need to wait a while for that. He's going season by season, starting with 1. Every single one of his analyses ends with a review of the season overall. Judging from the fact that the latest video on the channel is his review of Thailand and he typically uploads videos on KZbin several weeks after finishing them as an incentive to get people to donate to his Patreon, Im guessing he finished with The Amazon and maybe got a video or two into Pearl Islands, but if he is, then those videos are only available on Patreon at the moment. He'll eventually get to Cook Islands and Micronesia, and he'll most likely cover Parvati, but that wont be for several months.

You know, I haven't been a massive Boston Rob fan, especially in this season because he did kinda say some very iffy things regarding John's sexuality but I think the more I watch Marquesas, you can just tell the guy just oozes charisma and is just completely at home on camera. Also to his credit, he didn't go down without a fight, and probably was the cause of a starting dent in John's alliance that would eventually implode on itself in the next episode so despite him finishing 10th, its not hard to find out why he was asked back for All Stars where he officially emerged.

First of all this video is great! I basically agree with most of your opinions from this. Don't you think voting off Hunter was a bad idea? By doing that he totally lost Gina (which was obvious) so he was left with only 4 votes and still 3 IC before merge. So he lost number and made his tribe wekaer. Instead he could vote off Sean.. then he could keep Vecepia loyal (she was more pragmatic than Gina), keep bigger chance to make the merge with numbers (Hunter beats Sean hundred times in challanges) and still keep control. I know it would not be in his style but in my opinion it was big mistake. His confessionals were very funny! Like you siad he was too agressive, strategically I wouldn't admire him after this season. But it seems like he's got potential ;)

Redemption Island was unreal. Phillip was hilarious and so damn funny. I love that dude. But Boston Rob?! Holy shit. He ran the table like nothing we have ever seen. He made this season my favorite by far. He is so fucking smart man. Unreal. Boston Rob took the game to a Michael Jordan level. And having Phillip in the whole season was hilarious. It really was the perfect season. I hated Rob in All Stars cause I liked Rupert more, and was frustrated by the fact no one listened to Shi Ann to take Rob and Amber out while they had the numbers. It was glaringly obvious it would be Rob & Amber as the final 2 and the fact that Jenna and Rupert couldn't see that was pitiful. In Redemption Island though, he went so far above and beyond what it means to "play the game" that you can't not respect it. He was truly a dominant mob boss with all the blindsides and always thinking 5 steps ahead of everyone. It was so amazing to see play out start to finish. Still blows me away to think about it. Phillip was the icing on the cake though. I wish him well in life. That was so awesome. LMFAO. The way he busted out Kristina at the first Tribal Council was just amazing. Redemption Island was the best season of Survivor in my opinion. Hands down.

I'm glad Coach or Phillip never won. Oh my gosh.
