Yeah, Rob is everywhere reality is these days. 2 Amazing races, 2 survivor seasons, reality poker show and a televised wedding. Yeah, I guess hes over televised.

BIG TIME!! Why don't we sport an idea to the Reality TV Gods about how to get Romber off our televisions FOREVER!!
jcd77 - June 14, 2007 05:25 PM (GMT)
Maybe he won't be such a camera hog when hes hosting...Then again, this is Rob Maraino.

Rob and Amber ready to ‘revolutionize reality TV’
By ANDY VINEBERG
Bucks County Courier Times
TRENTON — Reality television made Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich household names.
Now, the couple who met on “Survivor,” teamed up on the “Amazing Race” and had their 2005 wedding filmed for a two-hour CBS special, are planning the most spectacular reality TV series of all time.
At least according to Mariano.
“I can’t tell you everything, but I can tell you certain things about it,” he said Thursday night during the Courier Times-sponsored Reality Television Night at the Trenton Thunder. “It will definitely revolutionize reality TV as we know it.”
Speaking exclusively to the Courier Times, Mariano said the new show, which he will host, will be “bigger than ‘Survivor,’ bigger than ‘Amazing Race.’
“It’s a competition reality show that will last over 100 days on all seven continents of the world,” he added. “First prize is over $10 million.”
Mariano said a nationwide “American Idol”-type search for contestants will begin in June, and the series will premiere next spring.

Sounds like Eco Challenge.

Rob's full of himself and his hype is so passe'. :tireder He needs to get a real job!
dfleminator - June 14, 2007 09:58 PM (GMT)
Why get a real job when you have as much money as these two have?

Tontine is going to be the name of Boston Robs new show. Whoop-Dee-do
jonnysbandit - June 19, 2007 06:57 PM (GMT)
Maybe we can change the title of this thread to the name of the show now.

I found TONTINE dirty lil' sercet. The 10 million dollar prize is paid by the contestants. They have to pay 600 grand to compete. If that amount was like chunk change to me I would do it.

Wow.... I don't like that AT ALL!
TARnut - August 9, 2007 11:06 PM (GMT)
That's crazy! Who is gonna PAY to be on a show? Where did you hear about that?
dfleminator - August 10, 2007 11:46 AM (GMT)
Hey TAR, welcome to ART.... there's a link in the jcd's post that talks about it.

The latest pyramid scheme - reality shows. Pshaw I say, Pshaw.
Herzogzwei - August 18, 2007 05:12 AM (GMT)
I don't know what's more shocking, the stakes of Tontine or the show's choice for host Rob Mariano. Check out this beat down of a would be contestant.

I don't see the problem with what Rob did... it seems like the "would-be contestant" was getting physical with Rob. Apparently they can't afford security...
Sasha - August 18, 2007 08:56 PM (GMT)
this sounds like a Pyramid scheme :confused
I bet they're lined up to fork over that much money
of course there might be a bunch of bored millionaires willing to give this much to be on TV
TARnut - August 24, 2007 04:36 PM (GMT)
thanks. good to be here. love talking about new shows and the current good ones. this show is definitely getting some good hype. i can't wait til it actually comes out!
