Never adverse to risk, Rob went for the high-value case… and missed.

Instead, he took his last arrow, fired… and hit.
It was a brash and bold decision, but it paid off.
When Kim bested the Banker, she picked Jamil Sipes to be eliminated.
Why take that massive risk?
BOSTON ROB MARIANO:To me, it wasn’t a risk.
I knew I needed it a hundred percent.
I need it or I’m getting thrown in there.
So there was no question, there was no decision.
I have to go big, or I’m going home.
I love the pressure.
I love to fight every single time.
I want the ball.
I want to take the shot.
I want to be the one to do it.
What was the feeling like when you hit that shot with your last arrow?
I mean, it was great!
What was the sense you got from the other players and their feelings about you hitting that shot?
Pretending to be happy for me.
But you know what, Dalton?
Nothing excites me more than being underestimated and disappointing the naysayers.
I’m in my element.
What was your take on Kim when she started coming at you so early in the game?
Something I’m really good at is self-awareness and perception of others.
That’s a mistake, dude.
You don’t do that.
Don’t come at me.
