Redemption Rob
When it was announced that "Boston" Rob Mariano and Russell
Hantz were returning to join the cast of 16 new players on "Survivor: Redemption
Island," it was assumed that the season would be dominated by a prolonged
showdown between two of the show's most illustrious ... more and successful players.
This appeared to be the case initially, but Russell found himself voted off and
at the short end of the stick at his Redemption Island challenge, and suddenly
it became Boston Rob's game to lose. He skillfully built alliances and managed,
too, to win the final immunity challenge. His win capped off a run of several
distinctions for the former construction worker: He is the only four-time player
on the show, he passed Parvati Shallow for most days
survived on the show, and he also snagged the fan-determined "Player of the
Season" award of $100,000 to go to go with the $1 million top prize. Mariano
currently co-hosts History's "Around the World in 80
Ways."
