Pre-game alliances are often the norm.

I’m stirring it up on social media like I like to do,Boston Rob MarianotellsEntertainment Weekly.

Actually, talk to my secretary, Sandra.

She’s fielding all the requests.

That would be Robs fellowIsland of the Idolsmentor(and two-timeSurvivorchampion)Sandra Diaz-Twine.

Whether Rob is being serious or not is open to debate.

I don’t play that, hesaid in 2019.I don’t play it at all.

It was Sandra who told him then how the game before the game works.

So has Rob reconsidered his stance on pre-gaming?

Well, you never know.

Maybe somebody in creative over there has some ideas.

Of course, it would not be Robs first time back on an island in the past few years.

But instead of a return to Fiji, could Robs next reality TV move actually be to Scotland?

I would love to playThe Traitors, he says.

I think after watching the first two seasons, it would be a lot of fun.

He considers the pros and cons of each.

So I don’t know.

At least when not busy checking for DMs from former Survivors.
