Survivor Redemption Island: Rob Ruled The Game And Won It All
Recap and Commentary by Senior RTVC Staff Writer Kathleen

He won, but at
what price?
Survivor - Redemption Island is now done.
Tonight we get multiple challenges, something like three Tribal Councils, some sort of mass slaughter at the dueling ground and the reveal of a winner.
The odds-on favorite to take this thing is Rob.
The question being asked is, however, does he deserve it?
| Got thoughts? Post them at the end. |
If you are judging pure game play, of course he deserves it. He has played cleverly and got lucky in that his cleverness worked out.
Luck? Yes, luck.
Way back, way way back, on day one when the helicopter dropped Rob and Russell on the beach, the coin toss or buff draw or whatever it was put Rob on a team that was made up of exactly the right people to make his play work.
It could not have been better if Rob had had free run of central casting.
He got a naïve kid and a bunch of manipulative girls and Phillip.
Yes, he also got that woman who was so determined to prove herself that she committed instant game suicide and he got a strong man sidekick who also fell somewhat into the naïve category.
Side note: Does the N in NFL stand for Naïve? Both Grant and Steve seem to have had more than a full measure of gullible.
If Rob had gotten the other tribe, his path to the throne would have been harder.
He would have been up against a different group agenda. And as long as we are flipping scenarios, let’s think about what Russell would have done if dealing with Phillip? Two explosive types in one camp? BOOM.
Anyway, Rob did get lucky back on day one. He got the people he needed to make his battle plan work and he has lead them by the nose ever since. Yes, that is a mixed metaphor. Sorry.
Personally, I have another definition for “deserve”. It is based on being able to look at yourself in the mirror in the morning.
When any of us say “I would do anything to win” we each have a different measurement of “anything”.
Personally, I am a conservative on that subject.
I’ll bob and weave and dodge.....
