Boston Rob Mariano

Robert Carlo Mariano – also known as “Boston Rob” – rose to fame after appearing on the popular CBS television show Survivor: Marquesas. Rob was a break-out star of the series and his memorable performance resulted in him being invited back for Survivor: All Stars. After finishing in second place behind his future wife, Amber Brkich, Rob proposed to Brkich during the All Stars live finale. The couple got married in 2005 and featured in their own CBS one-off show Rob and Amber Get Married, tying the knot in front of millions of views on the prime-time special.

Since then, Rob has appeared on two further seasons of Survivor, including 2010’s Heroes vs. Villains and Redemption Island in 2011, where he won the “Sole Survivor” title. In 2005 Rob and his wife Amber appeared on award-winning CBS programme The Amazing Race, and later filmed the 10-part Fox Reality Channel show Rob and Amber: Against the Odds which documented Rob taking on the world of professional poker playing. 2019 saw Rob appeared for a record 6th time on Survivor: Winners at War alongside his wife.

Rob’s Survivor career may add up to an impressive 188 days on the island but he’s also found time for other television projects. His credits as a television host now include History channel’s Around the World in 80 Ways in 2012, Sci-Fi Investigates (for Sci-Fi), The Player for UPN and The Split for ABC, and he starred in his own show Rob to the Rescue on the CBS Early Show segment.
