Boston Rob: From Castaway to Champion (Took Him a While, Though)
Ah, Boston Rob Mariano. A name synonymous with cunning strategy, questionable dance moves (seriously, rewatch All-Stars!), and the unwavering belief that Survivor is basically his personal vacation home. But for all his dominance (and let's be honest, arrogance at times), there was one glaring omission on Rob's resume: a Sole Survivor title.

| What Survivor Did Boston Rob Win |
The Long and Winding Road (with Redemption!)
Rob first graced our screens in Survivor: Marquesas, promptly getting voted out and leaving us wanting more. He returned for All-Stars, forming a powerful (and adorable) alliance with Amber Brkich (who went on to win that season, #queen). But Rob himself came in second, proving that sometimes, even the best players get outsmarted (or outdanced?).
Survivor Fun Fact: Rob actually proposed to Amber during the All-Stars finale! Talk about a high-stakes power move.
Tip: Use this post as a starting point for exploration.
He tried again in Heroes vs. Villains, but alas, another early exit. Then came Redemption Island, a season infamous for...well, Redemption Island. But hey, it worked in Rob's favor! He masterfully controlled the game, bludgeoned his way to the finals (with some questionable tactics, ahem), and finally claimed the coveted title of Sole Survivor.
So, the answer to your burning question: Boston Rob won Survivor: Redemption Island (Season 22).
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
But Wait, There's More!
Rob's Survivor journey didn't end there. He returned for two more seasons, proving he just can't resist the allure of the island (or maybe the million-dollar prize!).
Survivor Enthusiast Trivia: Rob holds the record for the most Survivor appearances (six!), although he only played competitively in five.
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.

How to Channel Your Inner Boston Rob (Without Getting Voted Out)
Inspired by Rob's (eventual) success? Here are some quick tips (emphasis on the "quick" because nobody likes a know-it-all):
How to Make Alliances: Be loyal, but not TOO loyal. Remember, Survivor is a game, and sometimes, throwing someone under the bus is the only way to stay on top.
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.
How to Win Challenges: Practice those puzzles, hone your social skills for bartering, and maybe take some swimming lessons (remember Rupert?).
How to Avoid Getting Voted Out: Don't be a threat...unless you're GOOD at being a threat. Rob mastered this art.
How to Find Redemption Island: It doesn't exist anymore, sorry! But you can always try your luck on another reality show.
How to Dance Like Boston Rob: Don't. Seriously, just don't.
