Rob Mariano/All-Stars

Robert Carlo "Rob" Mariano (also known as Boston Rob) is a contestant from .
In his return in All-Stars, he played a more aggressive and cutthroat game. He formed a close alliance and relationship with Amber Brkich early on, with the two eventually gaining control over the Chapera Alliance. However, numerous double dealing, most notably reneging on his promise to Lex van den Berghe to protect him after the latter saved Amber upon Rob's request, caused an embittered jury to resent him. Both he and Amber made it to the Final Two, where his barbarous gameplay caused him to lose to her in a close 4-3 vote. Their relationship continued after the show and they ended up getting engaged at the live Reunion Show when Rob proposed before the votes were read. Their relationship has since transcended to marriage.

==Survivor==
Rob M. was one of the eighteen returning contestants in and started his second game on the red Chapera tribe. In the beginning, Rob M. quickly made an alliance with tribemates Amber Brkich (which gradually turned into romance), Tom Buchanan, and Alicia Calaway leaving Susan Hawk and Rob Cesternino on the outs. Rob M. led the Chapera tribe into a winning streak, winning four of the first six challenges, making Chapera the most dominant of the three competing tribes of the season. When Chapera lost immunity on Day 11, Rob M. orchestrated fellow Chapera member Rob C.'s blindside.
After a twist dissolved the rival Saboga tribe, Rob M. recruited the two new additions, Rupert Boneham and Jenna Lewis, to his alliance. Any strategizing was put on hold for several days, as Chapera won the next three Immunity Challenges.
After a surprise tribe switch on Day 22, all Chapera members minus Amber, who remained with Chapera, were swapped to the Mogo Mogo tribe, to Rob's disappointment. With Amber's absence, Rob M. fortified the alliance with Tom and Alicia. After winning the next Immunity Challenge, Rob M. sensed Amber was in trouble, so he proposed a deal with Lex van den Berghe, a friend of Rob M.'s outside to spare Amber, in exchange for his safety. After much deliberation, Lex, along with the remaining former Mogo Mogo members, disposed one of their own, Jerri Manthey.
When the tribes merged on Day 26, Lex approached Rob M. if their deal was still in effect. Much to the former's chagrin, Rob M. had reneged on his promise, sending him home. The former Chapera members then eliminated the former Mogo Mogo Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien, Rob's fellow cast member. With the last Mogo Mogo, Shii Ann Huang immune, the Chapera alliance was forced to turn on each other. But after promising not to write her name down earlier, Rob M. swerved Chapera's votes to Alicia's direction, voting her out. Shii Ann failed to win the next Immunity Challenge and soon followed.
On Day 35, Rob won the Reward Challenge, winning himself a car and a drive-in film viewing experience to watch the original 1963 version of . He chose Amber to join him, only to find out Amber would receive a car as well. Returning to camp, Rob M. was suspicious that Tom and Rupert plotted against him and Amber during their absence, and as a solution, he pitted the two against one another. After winning the next Immunity Challenge, Tom was torn between two duos, Rob and Amber, and Jenna L. and Rupert. Rob M. and Amber assured Tom they were on his side, and they would vote out Jenna L. together. However, much to Tom's surprise, he was blindsided by a unanimous vote after Rob M. and Amber decided to take Jenna L. and Rupert to the final four, but not before leaving Tribal Council and giving Rob M. a piercing stare.
On Day 37, anticipating a tied vote between himself and Amber and Rupert and Jenna L., Rob M. lobbied Jenna L. to eliminate Rupert, stating he was a threat to win more jury votes. Threatened by the possibility of a rock drawing tiebreaker, Jenna L. sided with Rob M. and Amber, sending Rupert home. After winning the Final Immunity Challenge, Rob M. chose Amber to join him in the Final Two, sending Jenna L. to the jury.
On Day 39, Rob M. and Amber enjoyed romantic moments. At the Final Tribal Council, Rob M. was chastised by several jury members for his numerous deceptions. Ultimately, Rob M. lost the title of Sole Survivor to Amber after a 4-3 vote. Just before the votes were read at the , Rob M. proposed to Amber, to which she said yes.
