Boston Rob on 'Survivor': Not Such a Villain, But Still an Awesome Player

Last night's 'Survivor: Heroes vs. Villain' premiere featured many of our favorite former players (Tom! Rupert! Cirie!), but we have to admit that the one we most wanted to see again was infamous "Boston" Rob Mariano.

Boston Rob, as you may recall, has competed already in two previous seasons of 'Survivor' -- season 4's 'Marquesas' and season 8's 'All-Stars.' There, he met and fell in love with fellow contestant Amber Brkich, who ended up winning the big prize while he took second place. As a couple, they competed in two seasons of 'The Amazing Race.'Last night's 'Survivor: Heroes vs. Villain' premiere featured many of our favorite former players (Tom! Rupert!

Now he's back as a member of the Villains tribe, but Boston Rob proved to be a (slightly) kinder, gentler version of himself. He's still really awesome at solving puzzles, though. Watch the 'Survivor 20' premiere full episode and see for yourself!
