Yeah, they kept Rob around through the hard part, pre-merge. His usefullness to his tribe is gone and he is a huge threat to the other players post-merge. While his idol will save him once, it will betray the trust of...I think his name is Grant...which might cost him.
I've really liked this season as well. I thought they must have a really boring cast to do a recycle, but the other players have been interesting. Phillip is pure gold. I put him up there with Coach.
As for Vaultboy's assertion: my response would be, why? Why would you waste money on writers? It's illogical. This show is absolutely the product of placing mostly-soft Americans in the middle of a mosquito-filled rainforest for 40 days with nothing to eat but rice and bugs. It writes itself, no reason to waste the money on actors or writers.
That doesn't mean I don't believe that Burnett isn't a puppet master. I definitely believe he makes best use of every other factor he can control - from the editing, filming, Jeff questions, challenge timing and selection, reward timing and selection, etc. But there is no reason to use actors or writers.
