Age: 28 Previous Show: Marquesas Previous Finish: 7th voted out Since being voted off seventh on SURVIVOR: MARQUESAS, Robert Mariano has appeared at many charity functions, enjoyed traveling all over the world and acted as a host for the Hawaiian Tropic Model Search Competition last summer in Boston. Two of his most memorable adventures were traveling to Italy last spring with his father and throwing out the first pitch at the Red Sox game last Labor Day when the team hosted the Yankees at Fenway Park. Rob was born and raised in Boston. Growing up, he was very involved in athletics, especially hockey, baseball and football. He attended Xaverian Brothers High School, where he played on the varsity hockey team and helped his golf team win the state championship in 1991-92. Rob then attended Boston University, where he boxed and played rugby. In 1999, he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology. Rob currently works as a construction foreman and part-time bartender, while also serving as head coach for Boston University's Inline Hockey Team (which he has done since its inception in 1999). In 2001, he coached the team to victory at their first League Championship followed by another victory at their first National Tournament, where they proceeded to defeat the two-time defending national champion Michigan State Spartans in overtime. Always encouraging his team to give 110 percent, Rob has since coached the team to two additional National Tournament appearances and one League Championship. Rob's hobbies include hockey, fishing and playing cards. In 2000, he woke up the day of the Boston Marathon and decided to run it as an unofficial entry with absolutely no training. He stopped along the way to eat burgers and drink beer. He ended up walking the last 13 miles of the race and finished in 6 hours and 20 minutes. He couldn't walk for three days afterwards. Rob continues to call Boston home and his family remains most important thing in his life. He has one brother, Mike, one sister, Heather, and his parents are Bob and Linda. He is currently single and living in Canton, Massachusetts. His birth date is December 25, 1975.

I do! I do! I hope he sticks around longer this time... he left way too early last time. Absolutely entertaining to me anyway... plus he shares a birthday with Jesus

Rob should hook-up with Shii Ann in a very secret alliance. Maybe he and Kathy will renew whatever bond they might've had. There are going to be people in this game that will be expecting the Robfather so I hope he's thought ahead as to new twists to employ.

I never read his bio until today. I am amazed that he has a BA in psychology!

Is this the right place to tell whom he is hook-up with? He looked really truthful when he said he's going to stay with-------

Yeah, the show's over, Chy, I think we can say his initial alliance appears to be with Amber...in his words, " because she's gorgeous".

Love the Robfather! He cracks me up! He doesn't take this game too seriously which I find refreshing. Happymom, I'm not shocked at all that he has a BA in psychology. If you watched Marquesas, you could clearly see how he studied people and exploited their weaknesses and harped on their fears. To me it was obvious that he had some understanding he human psyche, but then again it could be that he's just a bully!

Mariano's answer to Jeff's question about Jenna's decision to leave was the absolute best of all those questioned. That, and his ability to lead his tribe to victory in the 'build a shelter' challenge really upped my respect for the guy. I hope he goes far...
