Rob Mariano Just Clued Me In On Survivor Alliances That Go On Behind The Scenes Before The Game Even Starts

As a dedicated Survivor fan with over two decades of watching under my belt, I can confidently say that the show continues to captivate audiences with its twists and turns. The upcoming Season 50 promises to be a spectacle, especially with Jeff Probst confirming the return of former players. And let’s not forget the juicy tidbits dropped by iconic winners like Rob Mariano about pre-game alliances!


The hit reality show, “Survivor,” is often hailed as one of the greatest shows ever aired, and it has been consistently successful over its long tenure on CBS (and now available with a Paramount+ subscription). The series continues to thrive, with Jeff Probst announcing that Season 50 will feature returning players. Additionally, legendary winner Rob Mariano shared insights about alliances among the contestants that form even before the game commences. Let’s get ready to hear that iconic theme song!

Alliances play a significant role in the game of Survivor, as participants often form strategic partnerships to eliminate their competition during Tribal Council votes. Interestingly, some of these alliances are established before the contestants even arrive on the island, particularly in seasons featuring returning players. For instance, Boston Rob was part of the cast in Deal or No Deal Island, yet many fans hope to see him return to Survivor in future seasons. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the four-time competitor discussed pre-game alliances, stating:

As someone who has spent years building a strong online presence, I often find myself at the center of social media conversations. I enjoy engaging with people, especially former players, and stirring up interesting discussions. If you’re interested in joining our alliance, feel free to reach out to me through direct messages (DMs). However, due to the high volume of requests, I have my trusted assistant, Sandra, handling all communication. She will get back to you with further instructions on how to proceed.

The fan base of the popular television series “Survivor” has grown significantly as we approach Season 47. Meanwhile, Jeff Probst has been nominated for an Emmy once more. Interestingly, past contestants are reaching out to each other on social media, hoping they might be chosen for Season 50. It’s evident that the show is not losing momentum anytime soon.

In my perspective as an avid Survivor fan, I’ve noticed that in more contemporary seasons, pre-game alliances among returning players have become crucial to survival during the game’s early phases. However, I discovered this lesson the hard way when participating in Season 40, also known as Winners at War. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Mariano shared his insights, stating: “I learned the importance of forming strong alliances before the game began to ensure my survival for at least the initial stages.”

It seems clear now, just like in Game Changers, Sandra explained on Day 39 that everyone had formed alliances before they arrived at the beach. If I wasn’t included in those alliances, then my stay could be short-lived – one, two, three, four, and it might be my turn next.

It appears that in Survivor: Winners at War, it was common for established players like Parvati Shallow and Ethan Zohn to be eliminated early, which suggests they may have formed pre-game alliances with more recent contestants. If Boston Rob plans to return again, he’ll likely need to maintain his communication with other players via DM (Direct Messages).

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but feel a thrill of anticipation! The lineup for Survivor 50 remains a tantalizing enigma for now, but mark your calendars – the 47th season is set to air on September 18th. In the interim, keep an eye on TV premiere lists to ensure you don’t miss out on any binge-worthy moments!
