Boston Rob Turned Down ‘Survivor 50’ Offer Because ‘I Wanted My Spot to Go to Someone Who Deserved Another Chance,’ Tells Fans: ‘Don’t Be Mad’


Boston Rob is not competing on "Survivor 50" but reveals he did get the call to return.

While the return of “The White Lotus” creator Mike White and fan favorites like Cirie Fields and Ozzy Lusth generated excitement, the omission of iconic players like Rob Mariano (aka Boston Rob), Parvati Shallow and more left many fans scratching their heads as they wondered why so many players from older seasons of “Survivor” were not included. The milestone anniversary season promises to “push the series into uncharted territory and impact the players like never before.” For the first time, the game is also being planned by the fans. Earlier this year, fans were able to vote on key elements of the game, including on whether there will be idols, whether fire making will remain and whether the live finale and reunion show will return in Los Angeles.
