Eventually!!!
I'm so thrilled that Rob won Survivor you have
no idea. I've wanted him to win since his very first scene on the show so his win on Monday felt like the end of an era. As if justice has finally been served.
Of course it was made so much sweeter by the fact that Rob drove off with Poison Dwarf Russell in the back of his Mafioso boot. Russel tortured.
Defeated. Tied to a piece of concrete and dropped to the bottom of the ocean like the Loser he is.
My best was how the show sidelined him - putting him at the back of the Reunion Show stage, only talking to him briefly towards the end, making sure the camera caught the fact that he still has a missing tooth.
It was all super with very few disappointments. My only big gripe was Grant and his hott bod - I was disappointed and surprised by his behaviour. I thought he'd have perspective with him doing so much Yoga and stuff but instead he turned into a misery. Surely, surely,
surely he understood that Rob had to do what he did? Even Ashley forgave Natalie and Natalie's vote was much more brutal.
What I also found so strange was what Rob said about
when Grant stopped speaking to him - three or four episodes into the show being on air. Rob hadn't even done anything at that point yet. I've been wondering if perhaps another contestant told Grant that Rob had cast a vote for him in the future or if he didn't like Rob's asides to the camera.
Whatever the reason, his attitude sucked because everyone should have been happy for Rob. And even let him win. I would have.
The whole thing really made me look at myself when it comes to things like winning versus
not. There's so much pressure to have a killer instinct and determination to win and if you don't you're regarded as "not having what it takes." The trouble is, I would have been very happy for Rob to win if I was on the show.
I've thought about it very carefully and I'm convinced I would even have tried to help him win, espesh because of how much entertainment he's provided over the years. It's raised all these questions though ... what does it mean about my state of mind? Am I a walkover or a thicko? Do I not value winning enough?
When I look at it from another perspective though, none of it seems to matter. So what? Who cares about the win if you have a fun time? You go on a show, have a rip, a deserving person wins, you have an unforgettable memory and you can make the best use of the opportunities that follow.
All in all I'm pleased that I wasn't on the show to suffer the internal conflict and I'm very tickled that Rob won the Viewer fave vote too. Do you feel the same?
