Jean-Robert's Strategy

original length: 5:37

While taking his morning swim, Jean Robert reveals his game strategy and what it's really like living off the land in China. 

Video is no longer available, but at least transcript by James Barber:

"People probably wonder what it's like waking up here, but for me, just seeing the dawn rise and the light starting to come out from the night is a refreshing feeling for me, because I know that the night's finally over, because the nights don't mean sleep for me. The night just means I'm going to sit there until the sun comes up so we can get some warmth. Last night I was freezing, fully drenched, you had no options of getting dry. The water's still coming down. We were finally able to get a fire going last night, which was great, and we were able to come up with some rice. I've never enjoyed plain white rice so much in my life. I'm beat up right now. Three days. You'd think after we won the immunity idol that would be like a lot of...winning the immunity idol gave us a boost, but I'm feeling really beat up right now."

"The perception of the group is that I'm not pulling my weight, and I'm really actually doing quite a bit, but I understand why they don't feel I do, because sometimes I bark orders here and there. That's just part of me being a leader. I used to own a nightclub. I know what needs to be done. I may not be the one to go do it, but I look to work smart, rather than working hard. Today, I went and found that little thing for firewood, instead of hunting through the whole forest. I'm not an outdoors person, but I'll figure it out. I'm learning to adapt right now."

"Aaron organized the entire tribe to get together to have a powwow to discuss where we're at, what everybody is contributing, and it seemed like Aaron was intending for people to think that this was a discussion on how we could improve or where do we go from here, a directional thing. For me, I know exactly what he was up to, he basically wanted the entire group to acknowledge that Jean-Robert was not pulling his weight, and should be able to openly criticize me from here out. To be honet with you, I'm glad that that's happening now, because now I'm looking like the bad guy, the guy that's not pulling his weight, everything that goes from here...everything is good from here. I can't have a bad day. If I'm lazy tomorrow, wanna sleep all day and not do anything, well that's consistent with what I've already been doing. If I start pitching in like everybody else, everybody's going to notice. In the meantime, I've got at least three days until a possible Tribal Council, or two more days, plenty of time to pitch in if I need to or lobby if I need to protect myself. I'm one of those guys who likes to come in from behind. This horse is definitely in last place right now."

"If people are smart, they're going to recognize that they need me for the reward challenges and the immunity challenges and that should keep me around for a little while. Right now, it seems like Aaron is lobbying the group to basically have me eliminated when it comes the time. I have at least three days to be able to work relationships or what have you until then. I'm not really, really worried about it. The first day coming over here, I saw Aaron as my biggest threat, and thought if I was asked at that point I probably would've thought he's the guy I need to get rid of. Right now he's not the person I'd try to get rid of at this point, even though Aaron probably wishes me to be out of the group right now or is threatened by me or is uncomfortable around me or whatever. I like him around for right now and I don't want to battle with him at this stage because I think he has a lot of power right now."

"The mood of Fei Long is kind of, a little bit spent. I think for three days we've been trying to keep a positive attitude with all the elements working against us, it seems. We just won an immunity idol yesterday and we're still all beat up. Everyone's frustrated, everybody's on edge, and I feel like everyone's frustrated with me and my work effort. I have been contributing but not as much as I'd like to. When I'm questioned about my work output, I'm the first to admit it hasn't been as good as I would've liked."

"Right now, I'm in trouble, I'm in hot water, I'm in last place for sure. If a vote was to be taken right now, I'm definitely the favorite to have gone home, but I wouldn't say it's as dangerous a situation as it might look. I'm certain I can build relationships, do what I need to, and start forming alliances or semi-alliances to protect myself. I do believe I could make a strong case for Courtney to be the first one voted out, and I'm pretty sure I could...I'm pretty convincing. Even though it kind of looks like I'm in trouble right now, it's part of the plan, and I can only go up from here."
