It is a fact that the first to be affected by lack of food, exposure to the sun, and the rigors of competition, are usually the largest players.

The Fighters mascot, Rob, falls into this category.

The Scotsman is not known for his speed. However, as slow as he is, in the last immunity match, he was slow enough to get out of the obstacle-tunnel, which made George Lianos worried. When he finally emerged it was obvious that he was in bad shape and exhausted.

The match was stopped and Rob was substituted, and with the doctor’s consent he did not compete again. This fact upset the Celebrities who count him as an easy match, when he was seen celebrating at the end of the match with his teammates. The team thought it was some kind of plan by the Blues to leave him out and accused them of being unfair. The matter reached the Council of the island.

The conditions of the game exacerbate these differences between the teams. Players from other years have also fought over alleged injuries that do not allow them to compete. A more typical example is a match from last year’s Survivor where the Celebrity team declared one injured after another, as a result of which the Fighters decided for the first time in the history of the game to withdraw from the match.
