I think it's an open question whether anyone from Zapatera would vote for Rob. Same with Ometepe folks voted off who thought they would go to the end with Rob. Do they respect his play or hold it against him? Then there's Matt, who got blindsided by Rob twice.
I'm just not sure how it would shake out for Rob.
Meanwhile, I wonder when the RI winner comes back in. I'm contemplating the implications of it being at the final 3 -- a final 2 plus the RI winner. Hmmm.

IMO, if Rob makes it to the Final 3 - assuming it is actually a Final 3 - (and he takes out Grant before that), he'll win the whole damn thing.
There's a difference between what Natalie (who beat Russell the first time he played) did - stuck with him and somewhat strategized, while also riding his coattails in a huge way.. and what most of Ometepe is doing now - acting like zombies, doing whatever Rob tells them to do. I mean, they have a buddy system, for God sakes! He won't let them do any thinking of their own and/or talk to members of the other tribe without him knowing about it. Hell, he won't even let them eat! And they all obey him without question. Not one of them, besides maybe Grant, deserves to win AT ALL ... and even Grant only has a few immunity challenge wins under his belt to brag about.
Nothing's a guarantee, and someone else could win if Rob made it that far, but I would lose all respect for the members of Zapatera if they voted for one of the weak girls who can't think for themselves to win the million dollars over Rob.
(Honestly, I almost think that Rob could win Matt's vote if he explained to him at the final tribal council that he saw Matt and Andrea to be just like him and Amber. Sometimes throwing some of that, "I was afraid you'd be too good" stuff in someone's face can do a lot for you. But again, ya never know..)
