Boston Rob: Castaway Extraordinaire (Or, How Many Times Did This Dude Play Survivor?)
Let's face it, folks, Survivor wouldn't be the same without a healthy dose of Boston Rob. The man's practically a franchise icon, returning to the island paradise (or, depending on the season, not-so-paradise) more times than most of us can remember trips to the grocery store. So, the burning question is: just how many times did this cunning strategist grace our screens with his signature blend of charm and ruthlessness?
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.

| How Many Times Was Boston Rob On Survivor |
Drumroll, please...
Tip: Review key points when done.
Boston Rob holds the coveted title of the first Survivor contestant to appear on the show six times. That's right, six! This guy basically has a Survivor frequent flyer card at this point. But hold on, here's the twist: while he appeared in six seasons, he actually played the game competitively in five of them. In his sixth appearance (Survivor: Island of the Idols), he served as a mentor to the new players, offering his strategic wisdom (and likely some killer one-liners).
QuickTip: Look for lists — they simplify complex points.
