He currently works as a foreman for a construction company while also serving as head coach for Boston University's Inline Hockey Team.

Hi guys...making another pre-Big Brother return to these boards. As someone who lives a few towns over from Canton I can tell you his accent is NOT fake. :)

I, of course, do not talk that way cause I didn't find my way to MA till college. I guess I do have a hint of it on some words though.

The fake sounding one was the guy kicked off from Millis. He had that Kennedy sound going. Millis is pretty blue collar, and besides most folks outside the Kennedy's never talk that way anyways LOL.

As for this Rob guy I like him...he's really very funny. Glad to see some personality on this show so far (though IMHO only from the guys not the girls on tonight's episode).

Having been born and raised in Boston (Hy Pahk is pahta Boston like Brooklyn or Queens is pahta New Yawk city), I feel the need to express my opinion of the accents.

I love to hear real Boston accents on TV. I was actually disappointed that Ethan didn't have one. Peter has a heavy accent, but I know many people who sound just like him. Most of whom are his age or older. My own accent is more like Rob's. I'm 36, and I find that people my age and younger don't have that heavy accent. The younger kids don't seem to have much of one at all. My 15 year old niece doesn't have one and both her parents do. They're Peter's age. I hope Rob sticks around for while cuz I like having a local boy on Survivor. Lexington is about an hour from me, so I didn't feel that Ethan was really local, but Canton is just ten minutes away!

Yes, the Boston accent is definatly sexy! Oh, BTW Lobster..I have family in Uxbridge and my 17 year old cousin does have an accent. Not as strong as Rob's but definatly there. To them, my other cousin George is GAH-ge. Hey GAH-ge, go pahk the cah! I love it! LOL!

LOL, Mindy! Well, there goes my theory about younger people with accents. About that George thing--I have no problem saying Jordan, but having an uncle and cousin both named Gahge, I was having a real hard time during the first Big Brother saying Jordan and Gahge in the same sentence. I finally learned to say George, and I'm very proud of myself. I can say quart and I can say water, but if I put the two together it comes out either quaht of wahter or quart of worter. LOL
