Rob thinks it was a mistake for the Kalabaw tribe not to vote out Denise Stapley this week when they had the chance.

Rob says that it’s a real thing that got brought on from severe dehydration, much like what happened to Russell Swan on Survivor Samoa. Boston Rob also discusses knowing Mike Skupin from charity events that the older players used to attend back in the day. Rob is excited for Skupin to return to the show for this season.
