I heard Rob call Coach a little man, but I assumed it was Coach that voted for Courtney and Jerri that voted for Rob. But, yeah, Coach's "I want Rob to LIKE ME!" manpain actually made me a bit uncomfortable.
Reading Rob's wiki page last night reminded me of some of the really sneaky stuff he had done over the years. I definitely like him better now, but you can tell that he's older and that he has matured. I think it was Jeff Probst who said maybe Rob didn't have the "ganas" anymore (well, he didn't use that word, but I've been thinking about Jaime Escalante this week) and I think he may have been right. Rob's smart enough to have figured out how to make Russell an ally, I think, but I prefer to think he just couldn't stomach it.
What was the name of that guy from the Amazon season who was awesome at game playing? He didn't make it to the end either, but I would have liked to have seen him play. eta: I guess his name was Rob, too.

I think that's what Rob meant - Coach did nothing to prevent Rob from being voted off, but didn't have the balls to write his name down either.

JEFF PROBST
…and as we gather to pay our last respects to Boston Rob, I’d like to take a moment of silence to remember the many things he brought to the game of Survivor. He was the Godfather who left too soon in Survivor: Marquesas. On Survivor: All-Stars, he took a different approach. He put his arm around the beautiful Amber on day three and became her “knight in shining armor” as he dragged her to the end giving her the opportunity to win the million dollars while being a two-faced betrayer to everybody else — and he did it all with an evil smile that made many of us fall in love with him in a brand new way. And finally on Survivor; Heroes vs. Villains, he transformed himself yet again — this time into a fairly likable, extremely hardworking and challenge-dominating player who took it upon himself to go up against Russell, the biggest villain of all-time.Some might say the karma of past betrayals finally caught up with B Rob and he went down hard. Probably for the last time. Rob… you will be missed.
There is silence in the stadium. Then… a shout from the cheap seats.
RUSSELL HANTZ
What about me??!!! Where’s the love for me? I’m the one took him down. I’m Russell Hantz, the greatest Survivor of allllll-time. I’m that good.
I really hoped that throwing something together would help Jonathan with his over-design problem, but no. Too thrown-together!
I'm over Emilio.
Michael Kors and I have the same birthday!!

I have a Michael Kors dress! (from the outlets in Rehoboth.)
I'm sad that I forgot not to read here before watching Survivor, but thrilled over PR. Love Seth Aaron's comments about Maya, loved Anthony, loved that the right person went home. At this point the two collections I really want to see are Seth Aaron's and Mila's (even though I don't love her)(and WTF was she thinking with those colors?). The other three are all very capable of turning it out, but I'm not sure they will.
I had serious issues over Seth Aaron's dress last night. Like the judges said, it was something the model who hands out the awards would wear, and it had that ugly pleating/ruching/whatever effect on the front that was just terrible.
Emilio's dress was perfectly constructed, and that material made it pop, but Anthony's dress, for me, was the best of the bunch--loved the way he arranged the black and white, loved the flow of the dress, loved the amount of leg it showed, loved everything about it! I can totally see why Jessica Alba wanted it for herself.

Did Alba look a little under the weather to anybody ele? I'm wondering if she wasn't meant to be the "client" all the time, and had to bail out of the filming for the beginning of the episode, forcing Heidi to step in at last minute.
As we already had both designers and models coming and going, I could imagine the producers would have had their hands full, even without a sick/otherwise engaged guest star. Just a hunch, but it feels right.
