Amber Brkich Mariano was one of the quieter personalities of Survivor: Australia. Amber’s inclusion in the subsequent All-Stars show was somewhat of a surprise to the general public. She was a member of the red Chapera tribe, which included Rob Mariano. In the season’s premiere episode, Rob and Amber agreed to form an alliance, with Rob citing his reasoning as: “She’s beautiful; any idiot can see that.”

The group faced its first Tribal Council in the fourth episode. Of cours, Rob and Amber’s relationship was a matter of discussion at the Tribal Council, but Amber claimed to have come to play Survivor, not “The Dating Game.” And, Amber and Rob were later married.
