I feel like maybe that's why there are only 3 favorites left.... lol a lot of them were from Arabia. HEY RED FLAG SANDY RED FLAG. What do I do? Cast 4 Arabia people. looool
Agreed tho, most of them shadows of the players they used to be.
I'm not mad at Robbie, I understand his passion for the game, his desire to do well and all that jazz ... it just seemed to me that after his initial effort to get Sassy voted out, something in him changed and it was all down hill from there. From a hosts perspective, my gosh there were moments of him being unbearable. The constant complaining about the MVP over and over again, like who the fuck wants to read that shit. Him clearly not obeying journal rules that one time, insulting the rules, and me literally having to life coach him back off the ledge... with that being said I do feel like if I were a player I would be emotional and passionate like Robbie, and who knows, might even come off like him at times where if things don't go my way it's the end of the world. I agree that this season 100% would not have been the same without him, but I also agree that he was very hard to root for. He should be able to see that.
Kinda shocked he went out of his way to trash iS Sam Burkett Style, but again, not really shocked depend on his old/recent it was, seeing the tumultuous past he and iS have had.

He's slated iS? Fuck this kid. You weren't held at gunpoint to play.

Yup. I think it was a season of Offensive (not too sure) where Jeffrey Kelley and Joe Purcell played together. In the he cast reveal segment after Jeffrey was announced, Robbie was calling iS a horrible series that was unprofessional and poorly run. I found it the same time he applied for Bali and only remembered it recently.
Going to find some links and screencaps.

Honestly it doesn't really bother me much because he clearly doesn't hate iSurv1vor since he applied for both Bali and this and wanted to play again so badly, put so much time and dedication into the game and even said that he'd play a 4th time. So I don't really hold that against him personally.

I don't get why he hates Sassy so much just for being an alias ( and yet seems to be praising Jeffrey for being one in that post) I feel like there has to be more to it then that.
I wasn't a Robbie fan at all this season just cause he kinda seemed like a mean person from the little I heard about and the comments he made in this interview didn't really help.

I loooove Robbie and Sassy. I honestly think people are going too hard on the Sassy comments, he said his opinion and he was not like SHE IS AN UGLY BITCH THAT IS NOT REAL, he simply said he wouldn't vote for her because he feels she is not a real person. Whether or not Sassy is a real person is irrelevant, she is a beautiful person and I don't think anyone cares either. Robbie has ALWAYS been very anti-alias, back in Arabia the reason he targeted CJ was because she was not a real person, and he targeted people in Montenegro for that too. Maybe that's why I am not surprised he doesn't appreciate the fact Sassy ~could~ be an alias. I def think this interview was classy, and Robbie is a great human being. Maybe I am biased because he is my friend outside of the game, but I truly think this was a very down-to-Earth version of Robbie, especially compared to his final couple of confessionals with the whole MVP thing going on. The bashing... it was a long time ago, after the whole Montenegro thing and considering how emotional he was I am not even surprised he did so. But like Kirin and Joe Purcell said, it's in the past and should not be held against him. People can change their opinions, and I know for a fact he loves this community and the game because he has told me multiple times. He was just angry at Sandy, the happenings in Montenegro and the fact I was dating the guy he liked [oops!] Anyways I am totally #teamRobbie til the end Does anybody else notice a trend of all the Arabian Favorites this season being incredibly disappointing? Alex would have been a far superior choice for an original Favorite. This made my absolute night, thanks Tucksy I think Robbie was a great addition to the cast though, an anti-hero of sorts, the rest of the Arabians... yeah, total duds. It sucks that my original season's representatives always suck so much cock </3

Don't worry, Alex. Congo has not been well represented either (still love Jose and Quanz and wish they did better).
The reason why I am a little irked by Robbie bashing iS is because it seems to be his M.O. One minute he tears into people, the next he is kissing their asses and apologising profusely... and then calls them all sorts of things in his confessionals. This cycle repeats itself again and again. It just make me wonder how much he actually likes this series, despite his claims of loving it.
You guys are right though about it happening a long time ago and maybe I am being a bit hard on him, but for the most part my irritation is directed at the character he was in the game - except for when he calls the alumni a bunch of "dumb fuckers" for not voting him as MVP. Even if everyone in the alumni could watch his videos and read his confessionals, I think his sense of entitlement and constant demanding that we vote for him would turrn a lot of people off. We gave Ricky a hard time about doing the same thing and I don't think it is fair to not give Robbie the same treatment for the same crime.
I do hope he sticks around though, so the rest of us can get to know and understand Robbie the human being a little better.

Deleted my prior post as to remain cool, calm, and collected up in here . Robbie redeemed himself but he is totally still sobbie, about many things. There have been so many people in iS who haven't used their real pictures. Whether it be true with Sassy or not - all alias players are warned beforehand about repercussions like this, and having to deal with non-game related things about identity. I go out of my way to avoid casting players like this mostly, but like many people have said already, Sassy is a legitimate girl, friend, and human being. He's wasted so much energy on the fact that those aren't her real pictures and this catfish crap. He lost sight a bit of what winning the game's about. Yeah. And he's being a douche in jury. No more support.

Robbie is a very sad kind of guy. I am sure he is nice to his friends and kind to those he chooses to be associated with, but usually there is a problem within when stuck on hating on others. In my opinion. He's a very defensive person and it takes very little to get him to go on the attack. I told him good game in his facebook post in the iS page, Justin made a silly comment, and then Robbie who doesn't know me decided I was being not genuine and said I was a joke all last season in a response.
People who jump the loaded gun before really reacting properly must have something wrong with them on the inside, a little bit, i think anyway. He must feel like he needs to protect himself, from what, i don't know lol. I just think he's a douche and he reacts in poor taste. Be proud of your accomplishments, what you have done and try to not worry about the other things. Especially after being defeated, it makes you look like a poor loser and a lousy player. He played a decent game, was a good character this season and now he's going to be remembered as Sobbie Robbie, Douchebag 2014. Bye Felicia.
