I'm with the group that WILL NOT watch if Boston Rob is the new host!! If we're going to go for a guy that's known, let's get one of the former Bachelor contestants, and up the eye candy!!!!!!!

Surely with the new deal with CBS morning show, Boston Rob wouldn't even try for it.

See, Secrey... I thought he was being "groomed" for other things. Like, if he could manage to do this thing and get/keep an audience. But I sincerely hope YOU are right!

Lol...I like the way you think Survivoraddict! Yeah, someone who will look slammin' with their shirt off and who doesn't possess an annoying accent.

Boston Rob is doing a segment on the good morning show, like the Three Wishes, flying about the country doing good deeds. Not sure when that is to start.

You know, Rob is not bad looking, and if they can cut that accent with some speech lessons, he might not be too bad. I like the fact that he has been loyal to Amber through out it all. I didn't watch Amazing Race, though, was he terrible on that?

What is wrong with Boston Robs accent? I did not know he had one.

Robb was great on the Race - must better than he was on Survivor, IMO. Let's get a hot Australian guy - I love their accents and they are always blonde and buff!

I agree. Rob was wonderful on the race. I found Amber and Rob extremely entertaining. They were competitive, worked hard, treated the people they met along the way with respect and were very good with each other. (JMO, of course - some viewers didn't like them at all)

I liked them to Jimmer. I also like them both on Survivor but it doesn't see to be a popular opinion.

I thought Rob and Amber rocked on the Amazing Race!!! Personally, as evidenced by how he treated everyone on TAR in the different countries that they traveled, he probably wouldn't be that bad of a host. He is obviously able to relate to people of all levels. He had people in other countries eating out of his hands to help him and Amber in the legs. Everywhere they went, people knew who they were. I certainly wouldn't quit watching Survivor if Rob became a host - now iffin Rupert was hosting... on the other hand I may not quit watching Survivor, but I'd start bitching about it. I was sooooo over Rupert by the end of Survivor All-Stars.

As much as I like Rob I think his personality is too dominant to be a Survivor host. I think a good host has to be astute but able to not be in the foreground and the center of attention. That is why Jeff has done such a good job.

As much as I adore and love Rob (and his great accent) I don't think he'd be a good host for Survivor. Maybe Fear FActor? A good Survivor host has the let the game and the players hog the spotlight.

Actually, it's quit subjective. And I did NOT like Rob and Amber on TAR. Not only just because they probably took my spot -- that was the season that I applied to TAR. And yes, "Boston Rob" has an accent. A very thick Boston accent. If you are not from that area, and are sensitive to accents (like me, as a Southern Californian, I don't have an accent), that type of accent can grate on your nerves. A very little bit goes a very long way.

Costacat, I'm from Utah, and quite agree about the accent.

I'm from southeast Texas and I know I have an accent, but I love Rob's accent. Actually I love to listen to all types of accents. I think he would make a good host for survivor. I could be wrong, but I thought I heard somewhere that it was a female they were talking to.

Fruitbat, I think it has already started. I saw it on the CBSNews.com Brea. He went somewhere to help disabled kids build a parade float. It is going to be maybe a weekly segment of the show? I liked Rob and Amber on the Amazing Race. They were very good, and you all are right, he was very nice to all the local people.

I thought I heard that Tina was going to be the new host. He does have a Boston accent. I am not watching it if either one of them are the host. Get someone we don't know.

Again, if Tina is the host, I am not watching. I agree, Sheila... they should get somebody who isn't a known face. And definitely not someone who was on Survivor (or any other reality show!). I'm sick to death of reality show wh0r3s who spend their time going from one show to another. Get a real person, a cute one. Dimples are OK. Hunky is better! <grin>

Wow this is all news to me. Wasn't there rumor not long ago about Jeff taking over Regis Philbins spot? It would be kind of hard to believe Rob would do it unless it was a package deal that included Amber. I agree it should be an unknown. Maybe they can have a reality show to pick the host. Let us vote. I am such a .

Tina was one of my least favorite players but I will still watch regardless even if she is hosting.

I agree with those of you who said it should be a man. Colby would be good. Tina would be the worst, with that flat, nasal, whiney voice.
