Survivor: GENERAL THREAD
I wanted to post something Survivor related but realized there's no general thread about Survivor. Each thread is about
The two best Survivors in history catching strays from Jeff for no reason.
Boston Rob had that gift we see certain people have IRL. The ability to be connected to a large social network and to make each person feel like they have a slightly closer bond with him than anyone else in the network. To me he seems like one of the least sincere Survivor players ever. Boston Rob was the master at faking being genuine.
Rob is like....I can make you all like me, and I don't care about any of you. And, how do none of you see that?
Getting taken in and screwed over by Boston Rob would feel worse for me than being outright told by one of bully/villians that I am going home tonight.
But, I get the psychology behind trying to frame your own exit "story" in the game of Survivor. Much easier to rationalize and digest that "Boston Rob and I had a connection but he saw me as a threat," than to accept that you were bullied out the game and had no ability to escape that outcome. Better to be tricked than weak.
I mean how many times have we watched juries and seen people who just need to hear.. "what we had was real, but you were a threat." And when I say they just need to hear that, the truth is they just want the "viewers" to hear that - they already know how they are voting.
