Bobby Jon was way better than Steph this time around. He was still playing the game as if he'd never played it before, not letting on that he was a threat, not being so arrogant as to let everyone know he'd already played. He wasn't overly confident, but just confident enough to make it to the merge. He's still the same Bobby Jon (he's not a pretty boy), and he worked his butt off this season. He did not get down on his knees to beg Steph for a spot on the jury. He asked her, and was gullible enough to believe that she was still Steph from Palau who would help others, and not the arrogant Steph she turned out to be. He wasn't the only one to believe Judd's lie either. From what I remember, the only one that didn't fall for it was Gary.
