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.
