Deal or No Deal Island features Survivor winner Rob Mariano.
He is back on an island trying to win another big cash prize, but it has also led to some questions from reality TV fans.
Many fans have been asking whether or not Boston Rob and Amber Brkich are still together.
CBS introduced Amber on Survivor: The Australian Outback. Amber finished in sixth place on the second season of the reality competition show. Tina Wesson was the Sole Survivor that year.
Rob was introduced on Survivor: Marquesas. Rob finished in 10th place on the fourth season of the show. Vecepia Towery became the Sole Survivor of his season.
Rob and Amber weren’t yet a couple, but that would all change later.

Can you believe it’s been 20 years since CBS censors had to pixelate Richard Hatch‘s naked body on “Survivor: Borneo”? The popular castaway walked around in his “birthday suit” to celebrate his 39th bday on the ninth episode of that iconic first season, which aired July 26, 2000. Watch the “Survivor” flashback video above. It’s since become one of the most well-known and controversial moments throughout the reality TV show’s 40 seasons, particularly in the wake of the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment.
There were only eight castaways left in the merged Rattana tribe when Richard celebrated his birthday sans clothing: original Tagi members Richard, Kelly Wiglesworth, Rudy Boesch, Susan Hawk and Sean Kenniff and original Pagong members Jenna Lewis, Gervase Peterson and Colleen Haskell. Richard of course would eventually go on to win the show’s first-ever $1 million check (see the winners list).

For the first time since 2001, “Survivor” will not be airing in the fall. Let that sink in.
CBS had initially hoped to film the 41st season of its hit reality TV show during the early summer and air it in September, but due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, those plans have been scrapped. Instead, “The Amazing Race” Season 32 will inherit the show’s Wednesday-at-8pm slot. Always the optimists, “Survivor’s” loyal fans have an idea for how to bide the time during this annoying hiatus: recap specials!

Original “Survivor” castaway Jenna Lewis didn’t hold back when asked by EW.com if she would ever want to play again. “F— Yes!” she exclaimed. Jenna appeared on “Borneo” (Season 1) and “All Stars” (Season 8), but hasn’t been seen since, despite repeatedly being on producers’ shortlists over the past 16 years. “I have been contacted so many times, it’s like CBS is my own personal d— tease,” she joked. “This last time I had signed over 100 pages of documents and gone for shots, and started the whole mental prep. Just do it already, Mark [Burnett] and [Jeff] Probst. Third time’s a charm.”
The concept of watching “Survivor” on TV now is starting to leave a bad taste in her mouth. Jenna readily admitted, “I am still butt-hurt at how many times Survivor Casting has called and had me on stand-by for a season, or had me in the ‘finals’ of casting,...

Even though more than 600 castaways have played the game of “Survivor” over the past two decades, fans have never forgotten B.B. Andersen. This original cast member from the iconic first season was the second person voted off the island when he was 64 years old. After the show wrapped, B.B. lived for another 13 years until his death at age 77 from brain cancer. (He’s one of six dead “Survivor” castaways — see photos above.) Let’s all raise a torch to the late B.B. Andersen, who was voted out of “Survivor: Borneo” 20 years ago this week.

This week marks the 20th anniversary of one of the most iconic gross-out moments in reality TV: Gervase Peterson eating grub worms on the second episode of the first season of “Survivor.” The date was June 7, 2000. Gervase’s Pagong tribe had won the previous week’s inaugural immunity challenge and was spared from voting someone out at tribal council, so they came into this second challenge with a lot to lose. All they had to do was eat grub worms faster than their Tagi tribe counterparts, and a fresh-faced Jeff Probst would give them the immunity idol again. How did it all play out? Watch the “Survivor: Borneo” flashback video above.

“In Borneo this is considered like sushi,” Jeff explained as he revealed the fish bowl filled with dirty beetle larvae.

This week on “Survivor,” a contestant (Dan Spilo) was removed from the game for the first time ever due to an off-camera “incident” involving sexual misconduct. (See host Jeff Probst‘s response.) The shocking development reminds us of the last time something like this happened on CBS’s reality TV show. The year was 2004. The season, “All-Stars.” In the fifth episode, the players competed in an immunity challenge that required them to brush up against each other as they ran across a balance beam. A problem arose when Richard Hatch, who was voluntarily naked (as he often was on the island) flaunted his body against Sue Hawk. Watch the incident below.
At first Hawk seemed to laugh it off, but when she got back to camp she couldn’t get that moment out of her mind. “I just kept reliving the incident. It just kept eating into me more and more like a cancer,...

Rudy Boesch, the oldest person to ever play “Survivor,” passed away on November 1 at age 91 following a battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Now many of his former tribe members from “Survivor: Borneo” (when he was 72 years old) and “Survivor: All-Stars” (when he was age 75) are eulogizing their friend on Twitter. Among Rudy’s cast mates who reacted to his death are “Boston” Rob Mariano, who’s currently serving as a mentor on “Survivor: Island of the Idols,” and Richard Hatch, who formed an unlikely bond with Rudy during their two seasons together.
“We lost an original Og ‘Survivor’ legend,” Rob tweeted. “Rudy was always very nice to me. I feel fortunate to have known him and played the game of with him #SurvivorAllStars. Our sincere condolences to his family. Rest In Peace Rudy.” Rob and Rudy appeared together in the eighth season, which brought back so-called “All-Stars” from the first...

“The Amazing Race” fans are about to be introduced to one of the greatest reality TV heroes of all time: Rupert Boneham. Longtime “Survivor” viewers are already keenly aware of this tie-dye pirate from his four seasons starring on that CBS hit. Though he never claimed victory as the winner of “Survivor,” he did take home a special fan-voted prize of $1 million during 2004’s “America’s Tribal Council.” He’s that beloved.
In the upcoming 31st season of “The Amazing Race,” which will now debut April 17 on CBS, Rupert will be teamed up with his wife Laura Boneham, who previously competed against Rupert on “Survivor: Blood vs. Water” in 2013. Laura finished in 12th place that season, far outlasting her husband as he was the first person voted out of what turned out to be his fourth and final run on the show.

We started batting around some of the shifts that happened in the past 12 or so months. The list of what’s new, what’s dead, and what’s different just in this year, since amended as I’ve thought of more additions, is a little astonishing to think about.
What we gained:
The rise of over-the-top video, as hundreds of niche channels such as Comic-Con HQ and Rooster Teeth crowded onto Apple TV, Roku, and other streaming platforms. Amazon began offering access to many of these channels as subscription add-ons to its Prime service. Viewing through Ott apps jumped 65% this year, to about 8% of daily TV time in the key 18-49 demographic, according to a new study by Pivotal Research.
The debut of “skinny” TV bundles, such as At&T’s DirecTV Now, providing much cheaper alternatives to traditional cable- and satellite-tv offerings.
