Semi-related: Why has this guy Rob been on the show four times? Is no one else auditioning to get on or do people love him that much?

He was such an asshole, not just because he's from Boston, when I saw him on The Amazing Race that I spent most of the season rooting for him to get eliminated.

Seems a bit wrong to have someone keep coming back when so many other people want a chance to be on the show. Even if it was an "all-star" season, he had three chances before that. Move on and use other people.
I had the same problem with TAR when they brought back Uchenya(sp) and his wife. No way they should being back a couple that had won previously.

I am clearly not a Survivor fan, so my opinion means next to nothing, but it does seem a sad commentary on the show's game itself that - musubi May 17, 10:41 1
- Sort of. He was on one regular season, then on the All-Stars, then Heroes vs. Villians and then as a direct result of that and the "challenge" at the - oblique May 17, 10:44
They obviously do it for ratings, there is no other motivator.. - Gwaahjo May 17, 10:31
How many times has he won? -- nm - Spawn May 17, 10:31 11
- 2*. - David May 17, 10:32 10
  - Wait, you count the wife winning? -- nm - Spawn May 17, 10:32 9
    - Since she would have been voted out if not for him, yes. -- nm - David May 17, 10:38 8
      - So, 25%, or 50%*? Not that great. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 10:41 7
        
        You're dumb. And ugly. And your heart is filled with hate. -- nm - David May 17, 10:42 6
        
        Dude, if you or I were on there 4 times each, we could win 3 between us, easy. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 10:43 4
        
        You would both be eliminated after you became weak from not eating the crap you'd be forced to have. -- nm - Kim Pine May 17, 10:44
        
        lmao. nm -- nm - groiny May 17, 10:44 2
        
        Just saying, if this guy is so great, he should be batting a bit better than .250. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 10:48 1
        
        there are WAY more things at play here than just winning and losing.... - groiny May 17, 10:50
        
        and he sucks at Halo. nm -- nm - groiny May 17, 10:43
Spoilers - Dano May 17, 10:31
I certainly love him that much. - Kim Pine May 17, 10:30 1
- His first season had one of my favorite moments. - the wrong element, bad guy May 17, 10:39
The answer is simple: he's the most talented Survivor player ever. - David May 17, 10:30 10
- If he's the most talented than shouldn't he be a four time winner? - Krusty May 17, 10:32 2
  - Why woud I be joking? - David May 17, 10:36
  - only if there's a three time winner. -- nm - TFox May 17, 10:33
- Hmm. As I asked above, how many times has he won? - Spawn May 17, 10:32 6
  - Yikes. By this metric, Vecepia is the 21st best player in Survivor history. -- nm - Strongbad May 17, 10:33 4
    - This will come up again over the next few days. -- nm - David May 17, 10:38 1
      - Speaking of which...do we need to rework it a but (spoils) - Jim May 17, 10:46
    - Has she played 4 times? -- nm - Spawn May 17, 10:35 1
      - She's batting 100%. -- nm - Strongbad May 17, 10:40
