What if Boston Rob Won All-Stars?

How is Rob remembered as a player, since he won on his second try?

Without betraying Lex, it's hard to see how he even gets to the end. If he did, I don't know the circumstances as to how that happens. Do Lex and Kathy simply allow Rob and Amber a free pass while they get rid of Jerri and Shii-Ann? How Rob handles the social game greatly affects how he is remembered.

Let's say all things stayed the same in All-Stars and Shii-Ann decided to vote for Rob, giving him the win. My perception of Rob would be that he was an arrogant, alpha-male challenge beast, who was close to the ultimate player. As great as he was at influencing his tribe members and using them as pawns, he was terrible at how he treated people in the aftermath. Lex and Big Tom are cases in point.

Do certain seasons exist in this alternate timeline?

Yes, no season was built for Rob, no matter how much haters claim it was. HvV would have happened with or without Rob. Redemption Island would have happened with or without Rob. Originally RI was supposed to be Hatch vs. Russell, for God knows what reason. They would have found another returning player.

* How is Rob remembered as a player, since he won on his second try? A legend

* How is the strategy of future seasons affected? I don't think Rob had any influence on how seasons play out strategically

* Who could be on HvV in his place? Anybody

* Do certain seasons exist in this alternate timeline? Redemption Island certainly wouldn't exist for sure.

Can't stand this smug ass.

I think the funniest thing about him not winning was that his best chance would have been to have taken Jenna into the final and he did not do that, then later, it was revealed the others would have voted for him if it had been him and Jenna.

Still, I can't believe he was not voted off much sooner (and then the ass ends up on The Amazing Race - and more than once, too).

Technically he did win All-Stars. He got the girl, and he married the girl who won Survivor All Stars and the million dollar cheque (before taxes) that went with it just months later, and the ONLY reason Amber won Survivor All Stars is because the jury (composed of mostly voted out Chapera members) did not want to see Rob win due to him directing their being voted out days earlier.

Regardless, All-Stars was a Rob-domination season in which nothing could go wrong for Chapera throughout nearly the entire season, up until that point I hadn't seen anything like it in Survivor before.

No doubt, had Lex's tribe voted out Amber like they were supposed to, she would have been out of the game and Rob would have had to ally himself with Jenna Lewis or Rupert Boneham as his second. There were no annoying "hidden immunity idols" or other dumb twists that brought back voted out Survivors either.

There is no telling how the course of the game would have gone had Amber been voted out by Lex's tribe, for all we know Lex's tribe would have got to the end, instead of unstoppable Chapera.

To this date, in May 2023, and this is a total guess: Chapera is still remembered as possibly the strongest tribe in Survivor history with the most consistent wins, however I do attribute most of that to severe weakness in the two other tribes in the first half of the season.
