The original Boston reality television star, Boston Rob Mariano, is back with his own reality-tv show, Tontine. The game revolves around keys, with the theme "possession is everything." Each one of 15 contestants will receive a key and will go through a series of challenges until one person winds up with all 15 keys. Since Mariano is a vet of Survivor and The Amazing Race, we expect that Tontine will incorporate characteristics of the two....

Well, it's official. "Boston Rob," as CBS execs like to call him, got hitched to fellow Survivor castaway, Amber, in a two-hour mind-numbing adventure cleverly titled, "Rob and Amber Get Married." Bostonist was not planning its night to include this wedding show fiasco, but perhaps it was the Nor'easter or the high one gets off watching American Idol (with only two contestants left! Can you stand it?!), which caused a temporary lapse in judgement. Not much good can be said about the Canton-bred boy, Rob, and his wedding planning with Amber. His focus was on two things: the wedding food, which he demanded surf and turf (much to the horror of the wedding planner), and getting their Florida home furnished and decorated a la Rob-style with the help of his construction buddies (obviously the house was a surprise for Amber! Duh!) Bostonist did find delight in a few things in the special. After purchasing a huge Red Sox painting (also a surprise of course) for Rob, she heads to a store on Salem Street, telling the man behind the counter that she'd like the painting shipped down to Sox Spring Training by tomorrow. The North End resident's look of "are you kidding me, lady?" was classic. It was also amusing to see Sox players pass her by as she pleaded for them to sign the painting. Big Papi was having none of that.
