Gotta disagree with you Zepp. Throwing the challenge to get rid of Russeel didn't put them in this position. That was still a smart move. Continued losing and not having the numbers put them in this position. If Zapatera had won 1 mroe challenge and gone in with the numbers 6 to 5, Rob's alliance wouldn't be nearly as strong. Grant would have been the first one voted off. Zapatera was just as strong as Ometepe going into the merge, they simply didn;t have the numbers.
I'm pulling for Rob, but he's gotta be very careful. He should be aiming for himself, Philip and Grant to be at the final 3 for the jury votes. Taking any of those dimwits to the final 3 with him is a recipe for disaster and is asking for 1 of them to get the votes. Alternatively, if he wants to take one of dumb, sumber, or dumbest to the final 3, he'd better take 2 of them and hope the others split their million dollar votes amongst the 2, giving him the best shot to win.
Natalie had no problem hanging in the immunity challenge last night because she's used to hanging from the pole with her legs.
Rob also made a smart play to send both Mike and David to RI, because he's sent strength and brains to go up against matt. Those votes were made for the sole purpose of getting rid of Matt.
