ALL-STARS INSIDER EPISODE 4
---------------------------------
(ROB) THE DAY
AFTER (3 min, 58 sec)
---------------------------------
Rob C (Day-after
interview): I knew coming into this game that I had
a big challenge ahead of me to try and differentiate myself from what people
saw of me on television. But in my time on the island, I don't think I did a
good job of trying to tell people that what they saw on television wasn't what
they had on the tribe.
And as much as I tried to be nice to everybody and do
what everybody asked and tried to be everybody's friend instead of scheme and
plot to a degree that everybody noticed what was going on -- in the meantime, I
guess I let my guard down, and was seen as too much of a threat and taken out
by the tribe.
CUT
I know the game well enough that I could play it a bunch
of different ways. The way I played it in the Amazon worked best for that
particular scenario. The way I played it here, I still feel was the right way
to play for this scenario.
I just don't think there's anything I could have done
differently.
I was really here to play the game again. The money was
never really a factor. The money was sort of an afterthought which would have
been nice. But this was one more chance to come and play Survivor and
unfortunately I didn't have the shot that I hoped for.
Has the game escalated? Well, I didn't see it coming, so
maybe there are players who have taken it to the next level.
I wasn't expecting the amount of lying that was going on
that early.
CUT
I was actually surprised that it was a unanimous vote. I
didn't think that Sue Hawk would vote for me. I thought her and I were actually
quite close. I didn't think that Big Tom would vote for me. And I am kicking
myself, because I was going to ask Big Tom, man to man, would you tell me if it
was going to be me.
But even if I had known, there was nothing I could have
done about it. And they were probably smart not to tell me, because they did
kind of beat me at my own game. I didn’t know that I was going to be kicked out
of the tribe.
Had I had that information, I might have been able to do
something with it, but I was a little surprised that people like Tom and Sue,
people that I had honest relationships with, didn’t have the..., didn't find it
necessary to give me a sign or a hint. So I guess people really are playing the
game. I don't know what convinced them that they needed to get rid of me
Maybe there was an alliance I didn't see.
CUT
I think that by voting me out, I think the tribe loses a
number of things, starting with I'm an asset in the challenges. I may not be
the biggest guy, but I always give it my all. Especially in the mental
challenges. We would not have won the reward challenge on Day 10 with the
boxes, if I had not been on the tribe.
CUT
Being a fan of Survivor and being able to not only play
the game, but come back and play an All-Star version of the game, was really
the ultimate thrill. And it really was a great experience. My only regret was
that I didn't get a chance to go up against Rich Hatch in the game. And I
didn't have a chance to go head-to-head with Colby or Ethan or some of the
other players I never got to meet in the game.
I did have the opportunity to spend 12 days with five
All-Star survivors, but it does feel a little of regret that I didn't get to go
up against all the All-Star survivors.
But I guess it's better to have played Survivor
All-Stars and lost than to never play Survivor All-Stars at all.

TATTOO YOU (1
min, 21 sec)
---------------------------------
Clip description: With nothing but time to spare, Boston Rob, Amber and Big Tom used
their creativity to get through the slow day. How did they do it? Find out now.
Tom (to Amber): Is that a funky monkey? What the hell is it?
Rob M: I think it's a lizard?
Tom: A Lizard? Let's see.
Amber
(confessional): We were really bored. It was a
really long day. So we decided, let's make Chapera tattoos.
(AMBER DRAWS ON TOM)
Tom: Oh my God, that hurts.
Amber
(confessional): I mean, there's not a dull moment
in this tribe. We're never sad. We're not letting that happen this time. I'm
not letting that happen this time.
(SHOT OF ROBFATHER LYING DOWN)
Robfather
(confessional): I'm having fun. I'm having more fun
on Survivor this time than I ever had in the past.
Robfather (to
Tom): Tommy, did it hurt this bad when you got it
done??
Robfather: I'm going to need a shot of whiskey. The pain is a little tough.
Robfather
(confessional): Downtime is probably one of the
worst things that can happen to you when you're out here playing Survivor. You
get a day or two days off. People get stir crazy, because people need an
opportunity to think -- something you don't want people doing, if you're trying
to run a good game. As I am.
Amber (to Tom and
Robfather): Now what?
Robfather: That was good for about 15 minutes.
Tom (getting into
hammock): Alright, let me just think of something
else here.
---------------------------------
ROB C.´S FINAL WORDS (2 min, 50 sec)
---------------------------------
It was an incredible feeling to get the
chance to come play Survivor: All-Stars again. I would have like to have played
the game longer, but it's just incredible to be selected as one of the all-time
elite Survivor players.
CUT
It was very special to get a chance to come
out here and compete with some of the greatest Survivor players of all time.
It's just sad to me that I didn't get an opportunity to go up against the best
of them, especially Richard Hatch.
CUT
I don't think I really learned anything new
about myself in the 12 days I was out here. I learned a little bit more of what
my body can take as far as punishment goes, but I feel great right now. I feel
about as good as I did the first day I was out here. So, I think that the tribe
was foolish to get rid of me, because I think I could still be an asset.
CUT
Right now, it's a little bit of a humbling
experience. I thought that I might be, in fact, the greatest Survivor player to
every play. But it's hard to come in to play Survivor with people that already
know your strengths and weaknesses. If these were 16 or 18 strangers, I am sure
that I would still be in the game, but people knew what I did last time too
well, and I was a victim of my own success, I think.
CUT
Apparently, the player got played, but I
think it was for the wrong reasons.
CUT
I don't know if my tribe is going to live to
regret my early demise, but I have a feeling that nobody from my tribe, maybe
Big Tom, is going to have a lot of success in this game.
CUT
The biggest disappointment for me is not
getting to play the game. I want to play Survivor: that was what I wanted to do
in the first place; that's why I came back again. I wanted to have my chance to
prove that I was the best Survivor player, but being taken out this early and
not exactly knowing the reasons why I was taken out. I don't think I had gotten
in any fights with anybody. I didn't ruffle any feathers. I thought I was a
help around camp. From what I know right now, I think the only reason I was
taken out is because of my past reputation.
CUT
Umm, right now, I don't think I have really
hard feelings against the guys. Alicia and Amber I was annoyed with from before
we came to tribal council, and I don't feel any different about them either
way, but Sue and Big Tom and, I'm sure, Boston Rob, will end up throwing a few
back, But he did shake my hand and he gave me his word on that. So, it's a
little early in the game to be breaking that kind of word, I thought.
It just goes to show you that all the stops
are pulled out on the All-Star.
--------------------------------
CHAPERA VOTES (5 min, 34 sec)
---------------------------------
Rob C. (votes Alicia): I'm a little uneasy
about this vote tonight, but if everything goes through, I have a feeling next
time I see you, there's going to be a big finger wagging in my face.
Sue (votes Rob C.): I'm playing for the long
run. It might be hard for me, but if I make it that far, I don't want a weasel
playing in the game with me. Sorry.
Tom (votes Rob C.): The only reason why I'm
voting against you is because in the alliance game, you're the bedhopper. You
hop from here to there and everywhere. I felt like I couldn't trust you because
of the way you played the game the last time. I couldn't stand the bedhopping.
But, other than that, you're a great guy and I'll see ya. Maybe, maybe not.
Also, you're a very smart man. Very smart. You play the game well.
Alicia (votes Rob C.): Rob C, you're a great
guy, and you're really funny. You bring a lot of comic relief to our tribe. But
coming to tribal council isn't very funny. And I think we need from here on
out, is a little more seriousness.
Rob M. (votes Rob C.): I saw you on the
Amazon and I gotta tell you, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Listen buddy, this isn't personal. It's business. Plus, this island's big
enough for only one Rob. See ya later.
Amber (votes Rob C.): I know you've been the
mastermind of Amazon, and I can't give you the opportunity to be the mastermind
of All star. Sorry.
--------------------------------
ROB C. TALKS BACK
(3 min, 04 sec)
---------------------------------
Rob C
(confessional): I claim to be an observant player,
and I thought it was going to be open season for alliances when we got back
from the challenge in this Survivor All-Star. And I thought there would be more
alliance making here than in a normal game. But it doesn't seem like anybody's
interested in doing that. This is sort of like a lousy summer vacation that
we're on, running around just looking for food, talking about God knows what.
But it doesn't seem like there's a game being played here.
I still don't feel like the tribe feels like we're going
to tribal council. Nobody is saying, wow, we're losing somebody tonight. Wow,
the adventure's ending for somebody tonight.
And because I haven't heard anybody say that, it makes
me think there's a chance it could be me, because I haven't heard anybody
saying it.
But, on the other hand, maybe no one's saying it. And if
that's the case, what is going on here? What are these people doing? We're a
third through a 39-day game and still no mention of alliances?
I don't get it.
CUT
It's possible that I am over thinking
And my mind can get me in trouble. It has in the past.
I'm just worried that maybe Rob is deceiving me. I read some books on
psychology before I came out here.
A paranoid person tends to be paranoid about lying if
they in fact are a liar. And as a person who’s told many lies in this game,
it's my nature to think that people that talk to me, tend to be dishonest.
So it's a double-edged sword to play this game in a
dishonest way. Because you tend to think that the people you talk to are being
dishonest to you back.
CUT
One classic Survivor mistake is to force the issue on
alliances too early in the game. Although it's Day 12, the game has really just
begun here at Chapera. So to start going up to every person (and saying)
"how are you going to vote? How are you going to vote?" It really
could force the issue of myself getting voted out for overplaying the game.
So I need to be very careful on what I am going to do. I
think if I get Boston Rob alone again, I'm going to ask him, do you Amber is
really going to vote out Alicia tonight?
Or go up to Big Tom and ask, is there a chance that I
might go tonight?
I like to play a little of the role of I've concerned
with myself even though I actually am. Because I look for that reassurance in
people. I look for things when people say to me, "Tomorrow we're going to
fishing. Or when we get back tonight... “ Because if they know, in their mind,
that I'm not going to be back they wouldn't say those things.
And Boston Rob did ask me to go fishing tomorrow night.
And I'm going to ask him if we can do something else
later on. I dunno. I'm worried, because it's tribal council. And the game could
be over for me. And I want nothing more than to win this game. So even though
there's a chance I might get voted out tonight, I'm a nervous wreck.
---------------------------------
BOSTON ROB
EXPLAINS IT ALL FOR YOU (1 min, 57 sec)
---------------------------------
Clip description: Boston Rob explains that there is only room for one Rob on
SURVIVOR: ALL STARS.
Robfather
(confessional): Rob Cesternino is the funniest
person he knows. (SMILES, PAUSE, LAUGHS)
I mean, I dunno. The kid cracks himself up. Doesn't he?
And he makes a game of it. But it's killer. It's painful to listen to
Cesternino talk. That's how obvious everything he does is. I mean he probably
read like five psychology books before he got out here
And he's using the examples from the book, the textbook,
on the tribe. And I mean, people like Alicia and Big Tom noticing, c’mon dude.
You're not too smooth.
CUT
I don't consider Rob Cesternino a threat at all. But
there is the potential there for him to screw things up for me. So before he
has that opportunity, I wanna get rid of him.
CUT
This game, this time around, is completely different.
When you know the other people involved, it's completely different than playing
with a bunch of strangers. I think it's infinitely harder, to tell you the
truth. Because people already have preconceived notions about you. About how
you play the game.
To overcome something like that, in my case, or
anybody's case, makes it a lot more difficult.
So that's why I went into this with the mentality, let's
just win as much as we can.
And now, even that, I'm second-guessing that. Because if
we win so many, and all of a sudden they merge us together, then maybe
everybody that's been getting their asses kicked all the time will join up
against us and take us out one at a time. Then it seems like it's all for
nothing.
Chow Time (5 min, 01 sec)
It seems that
Saboga has a crap load of plantains lying around their makeshift camp, with no
real mention of how they got there. Rupert is working on his fishing spear
while Jenna L. gauges the mood at camp. They just returned from the reward
challenge and are bummed out. Rupert really thought he had that challenge, but
no. Having lost so many times in a row, everybody is terrified that tomorrow’s
immunity challenge could bring them down to a pitiful three. We then switch to
Rupert, who is trying to emulate the sling-spear system he used so successfully
his last Survivor game. He didn’t expect to be down to four, unless it was the
final four. If Saboga loses another person, they have no hope. Rupert wants to
provide for his tribe as a part of his strategy, and because he wants to boost
morale and get Saboga out of its desperate slump. As Ethan tends the fire,
Rupert gathers mussels, clams, and sea snails. Other times, he was lucky and
found a fish within the first 15-20 minutes. Ethan says, “That’s a lot of
meat.” Then he quickly asks how to actually prepare such things. Rupert says to
steam them. Also, nobody else on the tribe can make fire or do much of
anything. Rupert does it all. For another minute and a half of footage,
everybody comments on how great the oysters taste.
--------------------------------------
BONUS CHAPTERS
MARKOPOLO'S NOTE: I don't know when these were added, but they are from the past
week. Rob C is in a studio, does impressions of his tribe and Jeff Probst and makes comments. The impressions are GREAT!
ALL-STARS (ROB
C.´S) IMPRESSIONS (2 min, 17 sec)
Rob C
(impersonating Boston Rob): Hey, what's going on,
I'm Boston Rob. I'm hehr. I'm gonna say that I'm betteh than the other Rob.
That he thinks he's smarteh than me. And he thinks he's a better playeh. But he
can't get this piece of ass like Ambeh. That she's my girlfriend and I don't
care if I win the game because I get to hang out with Ambeh!
Rob C
(impersonating Tom): Well, old Boston Rob, he's got
himself a girfrien' And that'z all well N' good, if yer back home, but weer out
heer on Survivure. And I know I got the wife back home. And I came on Survivor
to get away from my wife.
Rob C (impersonating
Susan): Oh Big Tom, he's so annoying. I think he's
so stupid that if Big Tom was lying on the side of the road, dying of thirst,
that I wouldn't give him a drink of water or a snack or anything else eh.
Rob C
(impersonating Alicia): Oh Sue, no you
didn't. You did NOT just go there with the drink of water speech. Oh no do not
tell me you just did that. Oh no.
Rob C: Hey guys, let's all be reasonable here. We're a tribe of six
people. And maybe we should vote out this boyfriend and girlfriend here. Amber,
do you have something to say about that?
(SITS SILENT FOR 10 SECONDS, CAMERAMAN LAUGHS IN THE
BACKGROUND).
That's my Amber impression.
CUT
Cameraman: You've got to do Jeff.
Rob C: OK
Cameraman: Cuz you do Jeff so well.
Rob C
(impersonating Jeff Probst): Guys, welcome back to
tribal council. Rob C., you were the smartest player not to win, do you think
that's something that can help you (does head movements and hand movements back
and forth) in this game or is it something that the other players say,
"Hey we gotta get rid of this guy."
Cameraman: And your final parting words.
Rob C: 0-for-2, maybe third time's the charm.
SMARTEST PLAYER
TO NEVER WIN? (1 min, 27 sec)
Rob (from
studio): I did trust Boston Rob, I wasn't going to
bet my life on it. But at the same point, that was the best deal I had. It
didn't make a lot of sense to me that he was going to approach me, make this
alliance and betray me. It worked out for him, but it didn't seem like
something that was going to be a great plan.
The problem was that Amber was so attached to Rob, that
if it weren't for her, Big Tom, myself and Boston Rob probably would have been
a three-person alliance to vote out Alicia and vote out Sue.
But now, just like I got my buddies and their stupid
girlfriends who screw everything up. My buddy in the game, he gets a
girlfriend, and he goes, "Uh Uh Uh I gotta keep the other gehrls
around." It did come back to haunt me that I couldn't separate Boston Rob
and Amber.
It was both a blessing and a curse to be labeled the
best player never to win the game.
It was a blessing that it got me a ticket to come back
and compete on All-Stars. But it was a curse in that all the other Survivors
were mad because they didn't win and they all said, "Well, I'm smarteh
than this guy" (doing Boston Rob impression again).
So it was a problem, because the other players had
something to prove and they kinda ganged up on me.
BOSTON ROB AND
A-ROD (1 min, 17 sec)
Clip description: Rob C. recalls his shock at Tribal Council and explains what Boston
Rob and A-Rod have in common.
Rob (from
studio): Last night at tribal council I was just
very disappointed that, ya know, I really thought I had a good chance. I said,
if I can get through this one vote, I know I can go all the way to the end. And
I saw the one Rob C come up and I said, OK OK, and then I saw the second and I
went (shakes his fists and head angrily). There's no point in hiding anything
when you get to tribal council. The votes are already cast, you can't change
them. Trust me I wish I could. It was just disappointed. I thought I was going
to win survivor all star. Last time I almost did it. This time I was going to
do it. I'm going to take it home. And it didn't happen that way. I think I was
a victim of everyone being afraid.
CUT
Most of the things that people don't get to see on
Survivor really have very little to do with the impact of the game. But there
are some things like conversations that rub people the wrong way and my minor
bondings that happen that you don't get to see. And it's hard getting it all
edited down. And uh, sometimes you're sitting at home and wondering, how did
that happen? But last night was a case of I was there, and I still say, How did
that happen?
CUT
Boston Rob's word is worth about as much as a Boston Red
Sox A-Rod jersey these days (smug face)
AMBER AND SHII
ANN (ROB C. ON CONTESTANTS) (0 min, 27 sec)
Rob (from studio): I think the two people that I was the
most surprised to see were Amber and Shii Ann. Shii Ann who didn't even make
the jury in Thailand. And Amber, who I didn't really know much about, and I
watched Survivor Australia a lot. She didn't say anything, but this time she
decided to just have a boyfriend this time around, so maybe it will work out
better for her.
