- When "Boston" Rob Mariano burst onto the scene in Survivor: Marquesas, it was quite the revelation. No one had ever played as openly aggressive as him. Does it pay off? Let's take a look.

The Robfather series - ua-cam.com/play/PL-J4ldj2BdE1Vb97pHM0Ov7XiZ68vUDUo.html
Even in his first season, Rob. just definitely had that kind of charisma that grabs your attention. Definitely a guy who knows how to make entertaining TV.
It’s crazy how different survivor would be if rob didn’t come back for allstars
Imagine if they had brought back Gervase or Sean Rector instead. They actually made it far enough that one of them should of been on All-Stars.
Once Upon An Island honestly I was surprised they brought rob back I mean other people could of come back that were more deserving from the previous seven seasons.
I think if Rob didn’t make the merge Survivor would have been sooooo much different
Bringing Rob back was similar to them bringing Tyson back.. Had less to do with their initial placements and more to do with the fact they give great confessionals... And now they're both legends
@@ghinx3972 It's not about being deserving. It's about being interesting.
His Godfather confessional is probably one of his most iconic confessionals
“the general seems like a nice guy also. he’s big and tough, and wants everybody to know that”
*”he’s probably got a little sausage”*
That's Rob for ya. Thinking about people's packages lol
I can’t even imagine how much work goes into making a video like this. Knowing what to focus on, finding examples, putting together relevant clips with a matching script. Amazing
Thank you! I estimate it takes 40 - 50 hours per video. Watching every episode, taking meticulous notes, scripting, recording the audio, and editing the video.
@@OnceUponAnIsland amazing indeed. Fantastic work and so enjoyable to watch this
@@OnceUponAnIsland Wow!! I started watching Survivor bc of this show!
The season Jeff found his love in Rob. 🤣🤣🤣
A video released today on Entertainment Weekly's YouTub has Jeff literally say that he loves Rob. No exaggeration.
@@OnceUponAnIsland what the- REALLY???!!!! I gonna try to find it.
100% I've seen his expression while extinguishing Rob's torch, he hates it. Rob also refused to play again after R.I. Jeff said something about finding an incentive to bring great players like Rob back, which led to island of the idols. During Sarah's interview, she said Jeff asked if they would play again. Sarah said yes, Rob said no. I don't know what they offered him, but he is playing sn 40.
Yeh we all knew he was gonna play s40 he couldn’t not
I noticed during the Rob passes out scene Jeff looked veRy concerned and was so solicitous.
Uh huuuh
Good thing Rob had a personality was had great confessionals... he didn't even make the jury and was an "All-Star"
Funny coincidence the Patriots won the Super Bowl the year Marquesas aired
@@cameronholmes5590 And the red sox won the world series the year he was on all-stars.
and then dominated all-stars from go. which wasnt hard to see coming. he was a powerhouse in challenges. he had the ability to lead a tribe. he wasnt afraid to make big moves early AND he was going to be under the radar because he not only wasnt a winner but as you said he never even made the jury. so while powerhouses like richard, colby, ethan etc are all gunning for eachother - he can take control of the misfits and steer the ship
And then he dominated H vs.V
Boston Rob one of the BEST survivors. It was so cool seeing how much he’s grown.
"He's a froot loop" This is why I love Boston Rob.
But is he a froot loop dingus?
I remember why I didn’t like Rob in the beginning. Love, marriage and family have been good for him, plus he has learned a lot about successful gameplay.
It was painful hearing him say things like "he's a big time queer, won't be sleeping beside him tonight". How things have changed!
I didn't like him at first either. I loved watching him grow and change in every way. Really love and respect him now. ❤ My best goes out to him, Amber and their 4 girls.
Ahh, what a pretty baby Robb was then.
He was a great villain with great humor too. I love Rob and he's still handsome.
robb zbacnik?
@@handsomechris5814 oh god no
@@brazilianpanda4691 y yo he's actually kind of hot though
CT eh he annoyed the crap out of me the entire season besides the reunion show
Very much enjoying this channel. Recently got back into Survivor after watching the first 9 seasons live when they aired. Going back and trying to rewatch them all from scratch now and this channel really amplifies my interest in that. Well made videos, great story telling, awesome stuff.
Thank you very much!
I used to watch survivor with my dad so it definitely brings back some good memories!
I get a ton of nostalgia watching this show because I watched quite a few of the first 10 or 15 live and then a scattered few others over the years, and recently. This show does really tap into our true, raw ancestral selves and roots in my opinion, varnished as a reality TV game show
@@SarahStudt I'll never forget how hard my dad laughed the first time we watched "Survivor" when Susan Hawk delivered her "snakes & rats" speech! My father thought it was the funniest thing ever!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like to call Rob in Marquesas "New England Rob" since he wears a Patriots hat rather than a Red Sox hat.
Makes no sense. But okay
They're both Boston teams
Boston is in the greater New England area. Gillette Stadium is literally in Massachusetts.
@@ChefofWar33 I know
Doesn't change the fact that they're called the "New England Patriots" and not the "Boston Patriots."
The execution of his strategy was a bit sloppier than subsequent seasons, but one underrated aspect to me between this season and future ones is him taking control of the immunity challenges. In Marquesas, he really only lead the challenge where he navigated the Roto tribe through the maze that ultimately lead to Gina getting voted off. In his future seasons, he became arguably the most dominant pre-merge challenge competitor Survivor has seen with his strength, clutch puzzle solving abilities, and ability to strategize and lead his tribemates. He went into the merge in All-Stars and Redemption Island with the numbers and would have likely had the numbers in Heroes vs Villains had Tyson not voted himself out. When he has numbers at the merge, he is virtually unstoppable since he keeps his alliance pretty airtight and is among the strongest individual immunity threats (I believe he won 4 in both All-Stars & RI).
Yes
That is a solid observation. I bet what happened to him in Marquesas taught him how important numbers are pre-merge. In Marquesas, he was satisfied with his tribe losing numbers as long as he had control over the small number (1 or 2 players) at his side. In Marquesas, he met his true adversary, John, and John had him because John had the numbers. Rob learned these lessons.
Funny how on paper it’s quite relatable to Russel in Samoa. A guy who joins the tribe, takes out any who oppose him, rules by fear, controls a weak dud tribe, tries to make the group cannabalize themselves for the first vote that he’s outnumbered. He uses Sarah like Russell uses Natalie however can’t hold onto her as long as he does. They also both fit the “Mafioso” Archtype (survivor reddit detailing all player’s)
Watching rob this season was so fun, it was nice to see him return in all stars.
I agree, alot of the 'Villian' moments can be associated with a younger 20 Year Old attitude. We've all been there.
Cant wait for ur take on season 8. 20 and 22. And crossing my finger a 2nd rob win of season 40
He still had a little belly at 39 reunion so I'm guessing he is an earlier out.
@@CheefChaos not a factor i belive sence edje of extention is in play. And have u seen his instagrahm pics. He posted a pic on septmber 29 in a suite. He was taking his daughter to her school dance and the dude looked 40 pounds lighter. Check it out. What i mean is that he was on an island for a long time eather way if he was out early or made it to the end. Usually whight loss is a sign. And when i saw some of the pics and intervew i thought ohhh he made it far. Bc some pics show some wight loss to me at least. Then i remembered that edge of extinction is in play so thinner or fatter it doesnt matter. Am not exactly sure when the season ended. But i heared that season 39 and 40 where shot back to back only 2 weeks a part. And am guessing season 40 must have been over well a head of season 39 airing. 3 1/2 months at least from season 39 reunion. I would assume contestent gain lots of whight right after a season ends
@@CheefChaos That reunion was 6 months after season 40 was shot so plenty of time to regain weight.
Great video. I love Boston Rob. He's funny, good in challenges and really smart. He always kind of uses the same strategy but it tends to give him a lot of power even if it doesn't always work out for him. He's definitely a fun player to watch.
I think Rob would've been voted out sooner if he didn't convince everyone to vote Hunter out
Very true. That Hunter vote showed us all Rob's true colors and his Godfather speech is basically how he played each subsequent time.
Holy sheet young Rob Mariano.
The greatest Survivor UA-cam channel. Deserves more views.
Hope you keep these up! I only started watching a couple years ago, and really didn’t feel like watching these older seasons, so I’m learning a lot.
BB Banks older seasons better than newer seasons
Bouch you’re probably right, but it’s hard to watch the season knowing who’s gonna win and stuff like that. But I’m currently watching the amazon and am gonna try to watch all the seasons from there
you are so underrated. Your content is amazing, keep at it.
Thank you Once Upon An Island. Very entertaining. ⭐🏆👍👍😊
Rob definitely has matured. In my mind it’s crazy to think this game would change his life the way it has.
I also wonder what Amber thought of him this season, and vice versa
He has matured, but his gameplay style stayed pretty much the same in Redemption Island.
Once Upon An Island his social games improved significantly. In redemption he made sure he made very strong bond to every single member of his tribe. Andrea pointed out that he spent 2 days making her chair like a brother does to his sister. Also. At the merge, he was nice to the members of other tribes while getting his own tribe not to talk to them
@@MA-hb3le this, he is different player in all stars and ri. To me his best season is all stars. yea i know, in RI he play perfect game but against who? In All Stars (most brutal season ever) go rewatch this season people forget how All Stars is brutal season to me one of the best and he play briliant game and briliant social game first 30 days and most briliant strategy
I know these videos are really hard to make but I miss your content where you been man, I’ve been subscribed since the start
21:52 Do I got stupid written on my forehead whilst waving a knife in front of his own face 😂
love this documentation! well done sir!
amazing video especially the statistics at the end. also love the props to Boston robs ground breaking character and influence cause people dont give him credit for that.
hahah I love Rob! He was so cute!! "He's a fruitloop" best line...I knew from the start he was one to watch! Thanks for making this
Great video it's gonna do really well!
Rob - my all time favourite Survivor. A great video, I enjoyed it :)
He’s definitely the best. He’s one of the few where he can control a game and last even with a target on his back
That was fantastic, I love that dude
Rob was always my favorite
Great stuff as always!!! I can only assume that now we know the next video is the "Fall of the Rotu 4" that the remaining videos for this season will be Kathy & V.....
Fall of the Rotu 4, Story of Vecepia, Purple Rock Draw, and The Funniest Reward Ever ;)
I was actually rooting for John and was more than glad when I saw someone who was not intimidated by Rob.
john actually knew how to play and had the balls to stand up to rob. plus his exit was amazing lol. he deserved another chance to play this game.
Love this whole idea :) Please do Parvati next!!
You're gonna need to wait a while for that. He's going season by season, starting with 1. Every single one of his analyses ends with a review of the season overall. Judging from the fact that the latest video on the channel is his review of Thailand and he typically uploads videos on UA-cam several weeks after finishing them as an incentive to get people to donate to his Patreon, Im guessing he finished with The Amazon and maybe got a video or two into Pearl Islands, but if he is, then those videos are only available on Patreon at the moment. He'll eventually get to Cook Islands and Micronesia, and he'll most likely cover Parvati, but that wont be for several months.
14:46
Oooph, Rob has definitely come a long way since then.
Its funny that Rob is complaining about “playing survivor for two” with Sarah at the beginning because that’s also how I interpreted his all starts game
This is the origin story of his All-Stars game.
A True Hero - I fell off after season 2, been watching them all on Hulu over the past 2 months Rob is the fucking man and if you catch him at the Reunion Show he shakes Jeff's hand as Jeff walked off stage (Rosie hosted after Jeff's intro)
Props to the show for recognizing something in Rob A True Survivor Hero despite the haters.
My favorite survivor player love u rob😘💕
Sexiest & most popular guy to ever play the game.
Bro did Jeff Probst write this comment
Cant wait for Cook Islands! Great channel
Love, love, love Rob 💕
Really really want one for the other rob seasons!
Man, you could say some stuff on CBS back then that you'd be borderline kicked off the show for now.
Compare the Ghandia incident in Thailand to the Dan incident in Island of the Idols. Night and Day on how it was handled.
@@OnceUponAnIsland Completely forgot about that! Wow, you're right. Between Ted's advances and some of Clay's inappropriate stuff, it's crazy. And if Marquesas was Rob's first season in 2020, people would think about him a lot differently. I didn't even remember much of that horrible stuff he said about his fellow cast members.
21:35 that exchange between John and Rob; John is waving a knife around while debating with Rob, Rob is making hand guπ signs with his hand. 👈👉
BR ended 10th here and didn't make the jury this time but was asked back for All Stars anyway. Just like Shii-Ann. And these two imho ended up the most entertaining people on All Stars
Charisma. Humor. Wit. Gorgeous. The voice and words with the accent or dialect, it's just so funny 🤣 Fruit Loop!
I love Rob so much!
what did the audience though of Rob when the season aired? Was he popular?
I feel like the subtle clue things with people showing up when you say “rooting for someone, and against someone else” is interesting
Rob and Tyson are two of survivors greatest success stories. They were so damn interesting and fun to watch that they brought them back, regardless of them not making it very far in their first seasons. They then went on to win in the future. I hope we see a similar pattern with someone like Devens, who in my opinion is one of the more interesting characters as of late. (Even though he made it much further his first go). I think they expected this with someone like Zeke... but it can’t be everyone haha.
Love Rob❤️
Its funny how the winner wasnt any of the 4 main roles
Same with Australian Outback and it will be the same with Amazon.
@@OnceUponAnIsland That's what happens when the producers and editors are predominantly male, seasons where the winner is female are told from the perspective of the men they supposedly screw over.
@@stitchcastle But Vecepia's game was super UTR and Rob's game was super aggressive
Plus, Rob was more of a character in S4
@@1UPMushroom You can still tell a story from her point of view, her being UTR in the game doesn't mean she didn't give any confessionals about her strategy. You also can't deny that most female winners' stories are told in relation to other players, Tina's win is the story of how Colby lost, Sandra's win was the story of how she avenged Rupert and Natalie with Jeremy. Aside from Kim, it's rarely about them just being good at the game.
stitchcastle that probably means they weren’t that good besides Kim she’s the queen
the john and rob rivalry was fun to watch. it's a shame they never brought john back. he can obviously play this game as its meant to.
"I mean, he's a fruit loop" 5:47
They really should have brought back that nasty eating challenge for WAW
I think people were quiet too hard on Rob. He was young and still had to grow up. And it was so amazing seeing him here and in later seasons + TAR.. He has grown a lot and people should give him some slack. He and Amber did each other good and still do.. as if we were all perfect when we were younger lol
You know, I haven't been a massive Boston Rob fan, especially in this season because he did kinda say some very iffy things regarding John's sexuality but I think the more I watch Marquesas, you can just tell the guy just oozes charisma and is just completely at home on camera. Also to his credit, he didn't go down without a fight, and probably was the cause of a starting dent in John's alliance that would eventually implode on itself in the next episode so despite him finishing 10th, its not hard to find out why he was asked back for All Stars where he officially emerged.
He wouldn't say homophobic things nowadays. People can change, i know, hard to understand. :/
@@user-yi7go3tv5j Yeah no duh I never said he couldn't lmao
@@noisysea3487 You never said he couldn't but you never said he could either, and with you barrading him over the homophobic things he said 23 years ago it gives off the impression that you do, infact, think that he can't change from his previous ways. So i believe with a Catholic certainty that you need to think before you speak, fatty.
These recaps are really excellent. Are you going to do Russell's video soon? I cannot wait to see it.
Thank you, I am going through the seasons chronologically. But Russells is going to be massive.
Once Upon An Island They're very well done. I'm so impressed I'll watch them all. And looking forward to Epic Russell Hantz. Would be awesome if he ever plays again like in a legends season so we could compare how he played then to how he plays now. And hopefully he wins it. Anyway your vids are cool. Great work!
What do you think of this first incarnation of The Robfather?
Great channel watching the video later , are you aiming to do every single season eventually
@@speedforcetravibear4640 I am going through the seasons chronologically :)
I think Rob was ahead of his time strategically as far as the social game. He definitely left his mark at the time. I just remember people thinking he wasn't worthy of being on All-Stars (which is BS)
Amber and Alicia were the unworthy ones for season 8. So essentially Amber lucked out HUGE and the rest of her life is history.
Love your content buddy, cant say I can disagree with your assessments so far! 👍
Benjamin Adams not here to hate on Alicia but what did she do to be on Season 8? Maybe missed her season or don’t remember her...
@@ColbyBumingtonAll she did on season 2 was get into a fight with Kimmi about the chickens SMH. That's not "all-stars" I remember reading that Helen & Ken from Survior5: Thailand were alternates.
Wait it’s already been 30 minutes?
If Im guessing right, Thailand will come up shortly. Im thinking we get vids on Brian, Shii-Ann, and MAYBE Ghandia
I LOVE Ozzy and Boston Rob. I pray that NO ONE from the Hantz family ever sets foot on this show again. I don't think Jeff wants to see them either, and thankfully he has some say-so about it.
Leave it to the Boston guy to give the best lines and be a big flirt. Sounds like my uncle Rick from Quincy.
The goat 🐐
What’s the song u use at the very beginning
"Tribal Affair" on the UA-cam audio library. All songs come from there. ua-cam.com/users/audiolibrarymusic?nv=1
Yass Rob! My fav!!
I can’t wait for the other Rob in the Amazon
The Rob that sucks. His words not mine lol
Once Upon An Island I see you’ve watched the Rob C podcast episode where Boston Rob comes on lol I remember him saying that now
Rob is so hot
Unpopular opinion but it honestly took like 3 or 4 times of Rob playing for me to appreciate or even like him. To me, He always came off as suuuch a skeazeball in Marquesas. 😂 But, to his credit, his "he's a fruitloop" comment about Peter is a daily quote in my family since it was aired. 😂
Those crabs r so darn cuuute!!!
Could you please do more Rob videos? I'd love to see ones about him in All Stars and his masterpiece game, season 22.
There will definitely be more Rob videos.
Great! I will subscribe and hope to see them in the not too distant future :)
I know its a long stretch, but many old school players listed The Demise of John Carroll as one of the best episodes ever, when the underdogs came together and the series of events leading up
Also please do Kathy's I will DM it to her
I remember watching this back in the day and loving Rob & Sean and wishing they would roll to the end, but I totally forgot how much he disliked and basically did not respect Vecepia's game play. Makes sense because she is the anti-Rob in her gameplay, but I totally forgot how much he disliked her.
Your lower eyelids have 2 small holes that catch tears. Eyes water all day to stay most. The small hole are like a drain. When the holes are too small, you have watery eyes most of the time. If they're too big, you have dry eyes. My optometrist taught me that. Mine are too big, my sister's are too small.
I think Rob was robbed in All Stars so I have no issue with RI whether it was set up or not 😭 It was entertaining to watch because I think he’s entertaining on screen. 🤷🏽♀️
Rob is always entertaining.
@Cream City Chocoholic rob is my fav player all time. Tony won an all winner season that tough.you gotta have him #1.
Lots of pretty scenes in this. Guess it would be a good vacation with good food and water, Bug Off a good bed and mosquito net.
Can you please do one for Kathy?
When Rob looses the eating one he cried for a sec.
he wasn't crying cause he lost. those were the tears of someone who been gagging and choking.
Boston Rob is a great player
Rob was already in HvV when he played for the first time
He lives in my hometown of Pensacola Florida now.
Now he is Florida Rob!
Can you do one of these on "Chaos Kass"? 😂
The patrons pick who I make stories about :)
Can I get a job? Fantastic work!
First of all this video is great! I basically agree with most of your opinions from this. Don't you think voting off Hunter was a bad idea? By doing that he totally lost Gina (which was obvious) so he was left with only 4 votes and still 3 IC before merge. So he lost number and made his tribe wekaer. Instead he could vote off Sean.. then he could keep Vecepia loyal (she was more pragmatic than Gina), keep bigger chance to make the merge with numbers (Hunter beats Sean hundred times in challanges) and still keep control. I know it would not be in his style but in my opinion it was big mistake.
His confessionals were very funny! Like you siad he was too agressive, strategically I wouldn't admire him after this season. But it seems like he's got potential ;)
I know it was the Patreons' decision to have Rob have a video from his Marquesas season, but I would've personally found it a lot better to have Rob save his video for All Stars as he made an overall bigger impact on that season. I think Sean, the one time player from Marquesas, should've taken Rob's place for the Marquesas videos as he made a much bigger impact that season than Rob who didn't even make the jury.
Who's to say he won't get story videos from other seasons? There is no limit to the number of story videos a player can have.
@@OnceUponAnIsland I was just disappointed Sean didn't get his own video for his one and only season and Rob got one in the season he made the least impact. Sean imo was one of the best Marquesas contestants.
@@um773 Patrons vote for the stories. There is a goal on the Patreon that when we reach 100 patrons, I will go back and do 3 stories from seasons we have past and let the patrons pick which 3 stories they are.
@@OnceUponAnIsland Yeah that's true. This is still a GREAT video though I have to say!
Imagine if Sarah was around longer and Rob fell for her. We might have Sob instead of Romber. Yuck!
Idk I don't always go by screentime to guess who is sticking around. For one.. Rob isn't exactly my fav but he IS one of the most attractive (if not, THE most lol) people who've ever played Survivor. Also.. sometimes if someone is particularly funny or sneaky or something, they give them some extra time before they are kicked off. Idk I've been actively looking for a pattern with the screen time and so far there actually isn't one lol
Please do one for neleh i love her so much
Crazy that as big as a player on his first season he didn't even make the merge
he did make the merge... dumbass
Whats with the "villain" and "smart" thing?
01:33, 29:16, 30:05
Can you do amber from all stars pls
4:49 I just watched this season (it’s the earliest one I’ve watched as of now)- this part specifically annoyed me. If I remember correctly, Hunter says “well you could be working on getting wood for the fire. Luxury items come later.” (or along those lines) and I’m like, bro, what part of catching a chicken was so “luxury”? Rob was literally chasing down food; Hunter makes it sound like he was out sleeping on the beach or something. Felt like he just wanted to tell Rob what to do.
do russell next
*waits for Sandra’s*
🔥🐐😋
I'm glad Coach or Phillip never won. Oh my gosh.
