"Ralph Kiser has insisted that the Zapatera tribe could have &amp;quot;blindsided&amp;quot; Rob &amp;#039;Boston Rob&amp;#039; Mariano had the returning player been on his team.  The Virginia farmer - who was eliminated from Survivor: Redemption Island during this week&amp;#039;s episode - told reporters following his exit that the game would have gone differently had Mariano been on his team rather than Russell Hantz, who was sent home during the first week.  &amp;quot;I think we would have gone a little further with Rob &amp;#039;cos he plays a different kind of game than Russell. Then we could have nailed Russell later after we merged together, I believe,&amp;quot; Kiser explained.  &amp;quot;Because of the way he acts, we could have put on that we believed what he wanted to do and then blindsided him. Russell is so positive and just puts himself out there while Rob lays back and thinks about what he says. Russell is a lot like me, we both run our mouths when we should be listening.&amp;quot; Kiser recently insisted that Mariano is using his alliance member Phillip Sheppard in order to advance his own place in the game. &amp;gt; Read our full interview with Ralph Kiser "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
