Don't you guys think Bob was bitten? I thought he went to the woods to kill himself and then they kidnapped him. This would mean the cannibals are eating an infected meat.

I think it was pretty obvious that he was bitten. But technically speaking all the people are already infected anyway.

No, I don't think so. But it's certainly a possibility.

Anyways, it should be common practice for the group members to examine each other for wounds after any close encounter with walkers. If it turns out he was bitten and the group did not check everyone (which is common sense and would be a common, necessary practice) then it is a huge plot hole in this show. Why risk bringing an infected friend back to your camp, where there is a young boy and an infant? You check everyone as good as you can before you head back.

Balls-Out!
I'm glad the show didn't pussy out and let this subplot drag out for 6 episodes with the cannibals.

And they confirmed the plot hole as well. Really lazy writing. They had to have Bob kidnapped but also had to have a reason for them to send him back without doing a protracted hostage situation. They needed to have Bob's sentimental send off. Gay.

This is going to bother me like the Breaking Bad plot hole which ruined the series for me.

That was point by point taken from the comic books except it was Dale who was the victim there instead of Bob. All of it, from the bite to the sentimental send off.

And I wouldn't call it a plot hole. It's called plot induced stupidity :D.

Breaking Bad spoiler:

The scene where Walt is out n the desert with Jesse, where he buried those barrells full of money. Walt calls the Nazi guys out there. But Walt's brother in law and his partner show up. The Nazis kill the brother in law and his partner (who are federal agents). Then, with something like 8 million dollars right there for the taking, the Nazis take the money and let Walt and Jesse live.

Now, in real life, what are the chances of those guys allowing Walt and Jesse to live? They just murdered two federal agents, they now have all the money they could ever ask for. Walt and Jesse are witnesses to this crime. They would have murdered them as well, buried them all out in the desert and left with the money. Show over.

In the show, they, for some reason, decide to let Walter live AND give him a million dollars and also let Jesse live so he can keep cooking meth for them. They have $8 million dollars, why would they need more meth? It's not worth it to risk letting a witness to their murder live and possibly escape and tell the cops about the murder. He could even lead them to the bodies. It ruined the show for me.

They let Walt live out of some respect and maybe pitty they have towards him. They know the guy has cancer and will die soon enough.

They need Jesse for the same reason every crime empire needs people like Jesse. To make more money. I think they even argue about it (one of them says that they don't need more money, but Meth Damon persuades them). This is the story of this show. Every character there is actually chasing power not money.

I wouldn't call it a terrible plot hole that ruins the show.

I would. With $8m they can build a hell of an empire and not have to worry about walt or jesse ratting on them which would lead to a death sentence.
