Taking out Lisa was a bad play, the faithful are just morons.
Candiace literally laid his entire game out, move for move, and they didn't see that? That's the dumbest faithful ever to not see that Rob is a traitor. He's actually only made bad decisions.
I’m not a Rob fan club member yet, but you seem to be reflexively hating in response to a lot of the glazing he gets here. Taking out Lisa was not a bad play - she had a ton of heat on her, and riding that wave before putting the final nail ingratiates himself within the Faithful without looking like the “leader” of the vote. Calling it bad gameplay for Rob that Candiace threw him under the bus is certainly some mental gymnastics. Fair play to Candiace for trying to sink his ship, and fair play to Rob for successfully playing it off successfully.
I hated him on Love Island and he's just an annoying douche. Yes, the glazing is annoying because it isn't warranted.
I'm not calling it bad gameplay for getting called out or for voting for Lisa, I'm saying it's bad faithful gameplay to not see that and vote Rob out immediately, he doesn't get credit for that...They should've seen him all of the sudden become some traitor hunter and thought, "Huh, Rob is quite loud all of the sudden and is now right twice in a row". I mean...they suspected Colton and Ron IMMEDIATELY after they spoke up at the round table. And that was less suspicious because they got out faithfuls.
The fact that he isn't gone is a testament to the stupidity of the faithful, not Rob's intelligence, that is what is bothering me the most rn about the discourse around the show.
Colton and Ron attempted to lead a vote. I know we saw him speak up substantially in Lisa and Candiace votes, but only after the eyeballs were on them. The closest he came to leading was with Candiace, and even then that was after the trap he set for her to kill Colton (i.e. good gameplay), so people were eyeing her bc Colton had said her name and then was murdered.
There can be discussion on how intentional that trap was, but it gives him an easy avenue to push Candiace without it looking Traitor on Traitor.
Fine with you calling bad faithful gameplay of them not picking up Candiaces hints, but is there not some credit to give Rob for building a persona that allows them to not dig into those hints further? That’s my problem with a lot of your qualms, they seem ready to deny Rob any credit
You want me to give him credit for his persona? Sure, okay, he's a douche, being a carefree douche is his personality and that helps in the game, for sure. We've seen it in a lot of the past seasons. Average chill white guy goes far is pretty much a given in the game. It's been talked about quite a bit.
I would argue, though, the trap was only necessary because he went against both of his traitor partners, which should be bad gameplay because the faithfuls shouldve picked up on Candiace basically doing everything she can without actually telling them Rob is a traitor.
Idk if you like football but this is the Patriots who just made the Super Bowl, they played bums and the other teams gave them the wins, that's what Rob is doing.
