But before the Survivor talk, Rob asks AJ for his thoughts about Tim Tebow being traded to the Jets and what the fantasy impact of Tim Tebow might be. AJ doesn’t think that there will be a big impact made by Tim Tebow joining the Jets because as a QB he will have less passing attempts that another QB you would start. Rob is still excited for Tebow to join the Jets because the Jets are even more like a Reality TV show, combining two of Rob’s favorite things.
Turning to Survivor, Rob asks AJ for his thoughts on Colton Cumbie and how his game evolved over the course of the 5 weeks since AJ had last been on the show. AJ could not have imagined that Colton became so powerful in such a short period of time.

Rob is concerned about Penn Jillette’s decision to be in the background and thinks it might get him fired.
Rob asks AJ about the film, “The Hunger Games” which opened this weekend. How asks how Fantasy Sports can help explain the Hunger Games.
