I read this article where he basically said he isn't interested in "celebrity", but he had no problem doing promotional stuff,like he promoted
tourism for Vanuatu or something

Lex and Rob both struck me as people who loved the spotlight. The general consensus about Lex is that whenever he is in the room, that's where all the
excitement is. He is the type of guy who when he enters the room, people notice. Rob is/was kind of like that too, but since he was so much younger than Lex
(and from what I could tell, sort of introverted as well) he didn't seem to stand out quite as much. Now whether that has changed since All-Stars, I
don't know.

Do you feel that would make Lex to develop a serious entitlement issue later on?
The reason I am asking is because that is what kind of impression I am getting from him. I always wonder why so many Survivor alumnis are so reluctant to speak out against him. He has to be well-connected to various degrees. After all, it was his idea to vote out guys in ASS> |

I don't think Lex has entitlement issues at all. Lex "in Survivor" and Lex "out of Survivor" are two totally different people. The reason people are so (seemingly) reluctant to speak out against him isn't because they are scared of him, it is because the Lex on All-Stars isn't what he is like in real life. In real life he is the nicest guy you could ever meet. Speaking out against Lex would be like speaking out against Colleen. |

Well, to be honest, you'd have to be some kind of asshole to actually be mean to random people in public. So I don't think the fact that you met them
in real life proves they're not actually indeed assholes.

Um, Lex isn't just some random person I met on the street. He and I went to the same school and his dad was my French teacher. I was corresponding with
him before Africa even aired. I have even met his wife. And even if I didn't know Lex in real life, you can verify my observations with pretty much any
Survivor alumnus out there. Lex is one of the most popular and well-liked Survivor alums of them all. This has been very well documented before.

is there a reason why Lex choose to go after Richard and Colby first before weakling like Shi Ann?

Yeah, he went after Richard/Colby/Ethan because he viewed them as being big threats to him in the post merge end game situation. However...he failed to see
that had he kept all three of them (or even just Colby/Ethan) instead of Shii Ann/Jerri, he probably has a much better chance of not being down 6-3 at the
merge.

My guess is that he still held a grudge over the fact that a fellow alpha male beat him in Africa. I think it bugged the shit out of him that he lost to a
player who was so less dominant than he was. And I think he vowed that in All-Stars, it wasn't going to happen again. That has always been my take on it.
I think he just overcompensated.

Without knowing him, I think Lex played ASS to prove he was The.Best.Ever. I think that's why he voted out Hatch, Colby and Ethan. I think that's also why he voted for Amber. Even winning ASS, Amber couldn't really claim to be the best but Rob could have and would have. |

That sounds like entitlement issue to me.

Yeah I doubt Jenna would have gone anywhere. She was the only former winner who probably had a chance. I don't think I've ever heard a single
Survivor say anything bad about her, they all seem to love her. Christy misleading editing notwithstanding.

What about Colby and Richard? How can they not save themselves from Lex? Is there something about them that we don't know? |

Lex is like a cult leader. When he's on the island, he's in charge. Colby and Richard don't have the widespread ties to the Survivor community
that he does. They didn't have a chance against him in All-Stars.

My thoughts exact. Thanks for confirming this.
I doubt he would have been more successful in post-ASS, but he trulys was the King of the island in ASS. Even Robfather was playing oddly similiar game with clear advantage that his tribe can actually win challenge. I still believes that, had Rob and Lex switch place, that Rob would STILL vote out Richard first and possibly Colby second. |
