I like Rodger. He seems to be honest, loyal and determined to get as much out of this experience as he can. He is also a good player of the game, without being cutthroat and narrow-minded. I like his friendship with Elisabeth and I don't see either one of them stabbing the other in the back. I was very impressed when Rodger (who admitted that he had a fear of water and had just learned to swim before leaving for the show) jumped off of the cliff and swam with little hesitation and great determination. He doesn't seem to rub anyone the wrong way, he does his part to support the tribe and most importantly, he tends to be a quiet observer learning about his fellow tribe members. UPDATE on Rodger..I had previously given him 4 *s and had to change that to 5..he really is Great! His determination to jump off of the cliff and swim was unbelievable, his loyalty is constant and he admittedly goes along with the "Kentucky Joe" bit because he knows it makes him even more likeable and possibly less of a threat to the other tribe members. I can see him going far, even now with him and Elisabeth being the only Kucha survivors. His honesty, respect, hard work (he is constantly working and fishing) and loyalty will take him very far. I think he has earned the respect of Keith and Tina and hopefully, they the remaining Ogakors will not "pick him off." In the first Survivor, few people liked Rich but had to admit that he played the game..However, it is refreshing to see that the game doesn't have to be won by manipulation .. loyalty and honesty can work too. I hope Rodger wins.
