    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

    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.

      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

      @@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.

    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.

    @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?

    @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.

    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
      @russianskatingfan Před 6 lety

      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.
