Can one gage social skills in part by likeability? If so,
ISTM Bob has few if any social enemies on Gabon. Randy had

back should be enormous because he is so well liked and is
playing a good game in all ways.

I dunno - my high school physics teacher was West German amateur
middleweight (boxing) champion before emigrating to Canada. That's not
a typically nerdy thing to do. (Our high school had a kid a year ahead
of me who boxed for Canada as a flyweight in the 1972 Olympics and the
two of them did a few rounds of sparring in the gym after school one
day. It was a mismatch despite the weight mismatch though it was
obvious both of them knew what they were doing)
