Rob Mariano

Known for

Rob got his nickname from Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien in Marquesas, where a tribe switch moved him across the beach and he became the only switched player that season who failed to reach the final five. All-Stars is where the legend took shape. He ran his alliance hard, won four individual immunities, and reneged on friends and allies along the way before reaching the end beside Amber, who beat him for the title.

Heroes vs. Villains ended well short of the finish, but Redemption Island was Rob at full power: another four immunities, an idol play, and total command of his alliance all the way to the title. He then came back as a mentor on Island of the Idols, living apart from the cast with Sandra Diaz-Twine and coaching selected players. Winners at War brought him back as a player once more, and he finished that one on the jury.
