If Boston Rob isn’t on the show lots of fans will not watch it. But if Boston was the host for the 50th the shows ratings would go through the roof. We have nothing against Jeff, but who better know this game of Savior better that Boston Rob. So please someone who’s there that makes huge decisions for the show. Just listen to the fans of the whole show since it started on day one. Sorry Jeff. But hire BostonRob to do the hosting for the 50th show. It would be such a hit and blow the channels rating way the hell off of the roof. Just think about your ratings. We all know that through the years the shows rating have gone down. And that’s because it’s the same old thing. We’ve seen it a thousand times. BOSTON ROB is the man for hosting the show from here on in. He will always put a twist to each show and maybe even make it so much more interesting during triple council. Who better can stir up the triple council then BOSTON ROB!!!!!
Think about it the executives of the show!!!! This is coming from thousands of fans who are bored with the same old thing. BOSTON ROB would bring energy to the dying show!!!!!
