Boston Rob Mariano is back in the world of reality TV, but it's not forSurvivor.Not yet, anyway.
According to a report fromNBC, Boston Rob will become the host of the newDeal or No Deal Island After Show with Boston Rob.New episodes of the series will air afterDeal or No Deal Islandseason 2 where Boston Rob will break down what happened in each episode, share his thoughts about what it means and what's to come, and also interview the cast member who was eliminated in the previous episode.
The first episode of theDeal or No Island After Show with Boston Robwill air on NBC one day after the season premiere ofDeal or No Deal Islandseason 2. The second season's first episode is actually on Tuesday, Jan. 7, but you'll see Boston Rob in his new gig on Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2025. So, no, you won't be able to watch new episodes ofSurvivoron Wednesday nights in January, but you can tune in to watch theSurvivorplayer with the most days spent in the game as the new host of theDeal or No Deal Island After Show.That's not too bad!
Boston Robteased his return toDeal or No Deal Islandthis summer.
For those who don't recall, Boston Rob just competed in the first season ofDeal or No Deal Islandwhere he finished runner-up. Honestly, if not for a mistake in the finale, Boston Rob would have added aDeal or No Deal Islandwin to his running list of reality TV show wins, includingSurvivor: Redemption Island(season 22).
It's unclear at this point if Boston Rob has any plans to return to the beach any time soon. Prior to theSurvivor 50news,Boston Rob mentioned that he wasn't planningon returning. Will that change, though?
Survivor 50is right around the corner next year, so it's definitely possible we'll see Boston Rob return. I know a lot of fans have him on their list for theSurvivor 50cast. It's almost hard to imagine him not returning to Survivor one final time in the biggest season yet. He's played the game more than any other player, so it just makes sense that he should be included, you know?
I don't think that this new hosting gig would stop Boston Rob. It's unclear when production will start onSurvivor 50,but if it follows the normal production pattern, the season will likely be filmed in Fiji this summer followingSurvivor 49.
All I know is that if Boston Rob is returning, it's going to be very hard to keep this secret much longer! Fans will know almost immediately any of the big-time formerSurvivorplayers officially join the cast. It's just very hard to keep these castings secret these days.
Anyway, Boston Rob is coming back to a screen near you this winter, but it's probably not the series or the way Survivor fans want to see him. Stay tuned for more news aboutSurvivor 50and check out theDeal or No Deal Island After Show with Boston Robon Wednesday, Jan. 8 on NBC!
