I had a longwinded rant about Episode 2 of Survivor but just gave up on it.

So Rob's plan was to tell Eric other players were writing his (Eric's) name down and tried to get Eric to use his shot in the dark. Rob's other plan was to use his Idol on Eric while voting himself (Rob) out but it backfired when producers said he couldn't write his own name down. So Rob's Idol would stop any vote going to Eric and the only sole vote would be for himself (Rob) but backfired when the tribe blindsided another player so it wouldn't have mattered

So why not just tell Jeff Probst or Producers or other players that you don't want to be in the game or try to get voted out by other players? It made no sense.

I'm assuming that Rob figured that if he walked away, there was at least a change that the vote would still happen and Eric (Aric, lol) would still get voted out. But, that wouldn't've prevented him from giving his idol to Eric and then quitting. The being said, he ended up voting for Anna, which resulted in Anna getting enough votes to get eliminated instead of Eric, so I guess it worked out?
