[SURVIVOR] Who should really be on the All-Stars?

[Teflon Billy]

I'd rather have all-beauties. Laced the food prizes and wine with Spanish Fly (or that female version of Viagra).

I think they're doing that on the Playboy Channel.

I call it Survivor: Meangirls of Madagascar.

I would tune into that weekly.

What I was surprised about is to see Boston Rob in the top four. But just for a moment. It made sense. The survivors hated him, but the PUBLIC realised that he's a very good player, and many wanted him to get that million. I'd really like to see the number of votes, to see how big of a win Rupert got, and how far away Rob was from the top.

Perhaps not as many voted for Rob as you might think; there were a few autovote sites using spoofed IP addresses to stuff the ballot box in Rob's favour. On various boards, I saw a bunch of people running them for Boston Rob, two for the other Rob, and none for any other contestants (though I'm sure there must have been some).

I don't really understand why people think Jonny Fairplay would do well. If his grandmother trick had aired before casting was complete, he would've come in with the same stigma as Richard and the other Rob (i.e. as somebody too sneaky for his own good), but without the prior relationships that gave each of those at least an outside shot with their tribes. He also seems to have what in Diplomacy circles is called "stabitis" - betraying people when you don't really need to - which would make it tough at the jury vote.

I didn't make any predicitons for how well he would have done, but he would have been more fun to watch than most of these other snoozers.
And yes, he wouldve come into the game with the same stigma as Richard and Rob C. BUT lets note a few things...

Richard was mainly a target because he won, and that made people jealous. and Rob C was voted off early by Boston Rob, another schemer the first time around, who everyone fell in line with. The problem with Rich and Rob C's games this time was Rich was trying to play up his obnoxiousness hoping most people would think like Kelly rather than be jealous of his mil, and Rob wanted to fly under the radar, which was the DUMBEST decision I've ever seen. Obviously people will think if youre not plotting with them, youre plotting AGAINST them. moron.

I doubt Fairplay would have made EITHER of those mistakes, and probably would've come in with some sort of "play to their feelings" strategy of how death threats against him and verbal attacks at his family have made him reconsider his life and his stance on the game , etc etc, excuse me while I vomit... and then apologize to his fans everytime he's alone with the camera.

THAT'S the main mistake of the All-Stars, most of them went in with the same stategy they had the first time, (or a slightly worse version thereof) and Rob C tried the biggest change and just made a bad decision.

I also would like to question "stabitis" as I don't recall Fairplay stabbing anyone unneccessarily. Boston Rob seemed more at fault for that this time around. (most noticeably with Big Tom)

I honestly dont think that the world wanted to see Jon again. Thus being completely un-interested in him at all. I also dont think that he would have lasted a day in the game out there because of his stigma... I know that I would vote him off first because he is the one guy that you just can not trust. I mean at least with Rob and Rich you can assume they are being somewhat honest. Jon, no one would belive him, EVER. So that would make him a crappy player in my book. His lying ability is done.
