Beautiful, but a snob.”
Their romance blossomed on-screen.
“We only kissed twice on air,” Amber insisted toPeople.
“The first time when we got a toothbrush and the second time when there were candy mints.”
A few more smooches happened off-screen, too.
Rob and Amber’s scheming was so successful that they became the final two players left in the game.

I was watching them thinking, ‘This is a couple in love.'”

At the time, Amber would always tell me who the winner was in my own house."
Unfortunately for the Robfather, he lost.
Rob enjoyed keeping his win a secret from everyone, including his own wife.

After finally achieving his longtime goal, Rob felt ready to retire from the game.
“I’m done with ‘Survivor,'” he said.
“I accomplished everything I’ve ever wanted to accomplish.
This time around it wasn’t about the money as much as it was about the title.
I don’t have to hide in my own house anymore.”

How could I not?
It’s season 40 for goodness sakes,” she toldEntertainment Weekly.
“I was on season 2.”
But her husband wanted them both to compete again.
“He lives and breathes this game.
He loves this game,” Amber explained.
“We’ve never had a season like this and I can’t imagine we ever will again.”

But you get over it.
What are you gonna do?
You spilled your milk.

Let it go.”
“So I did it all myself.”
