Survive this: Rob and Amber have a baby

Rob_Amber_Mariano_CBSRomance on reality TV is rarely as real as the producers want us to think. However, at least one romance seems to be the real thing: Rob and Amber from Survivor.

They met on Survivor, thrived on The Amazing Race, flopped on their own show, but have remained a happily married couple four years after they wed. Now the game really begins for these two reality TV vets. Rob and Amber Mariano are the proud parents of newborn Lucia Rose.

Little Lucia was born July 4 in Pensacola, and chances are she's going to be raised as a Red Sox fan. Considering how difficult Survivor and The Amazing Race are, and how well Rob and Amber did on both shows, raising a kid should be a piece of cake.

Michael Jackson or Amber: Who is more amazing?

Michael Jackson is singing and living largeHe's baaaaaaack!

Sure we've heard about Michael Jackson's $3,500 per person meet and greet in Japan, but did you see the King of Pop receive an award at the World Music Awards broadcast, rocking a hairstyle very similar to my mothers and throwing his very expensive looking clothing into the audience?

No offense Mr. Jackson, but word on the street is that you're having a bit of money troubles. Don't you think you should go to your nearest Ebay reseller and have them make you a couple thousand? Is that just an amazing camera trick or are people still crying for you too? Does that still happen?

We really are the world. We are the children (shudder)...

In other interesting television moments...

Amazing Race: All Star teams announced

Amazing Race on CBSCBS has unveiled the lineup for The Amazing Race 11, which will be an all-stars edition. On the list are, of course, love-to-hate-'em villains Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich, who came in second on season 7.

Fans have been wondering how the producers would pick the teams. In USA Today, executive producer Bertram Van Munster said, "They're not necessarily the winners, but character-wise, they're all-stars in our book."

And Van Munster promised this Race will be super-tough, with "curveball after curveball," since the teams have all been there, done that.

Also racing will be:

Amazing Race All-Stars coming in 2007

Rob and AmberFirst there was the Real World/Road Rules Challenge. Then there was All-Star Survivor and Big Brother All-Stars. Now... hold on to your hats, reality fans... CBS has decided that it's high time for an all-star version of The Amazing Race (Rich first mentioned this last month, but now it's official).

And, yes, that means Rob and Amber (or as Rob says it, "Ambah") will be gracing our TVs once again.

According to ComingSoon.net, the 11th season of the classy, travel-oriented reality hit will be an all-star edition, pitting favorite pairs from previous versions. Variety is saying that along with "First Couple" of reality shows (they were on Survivor twice, got married on TV, and compteted on Race), their chief rivals, Joyce and Uchenna, will also participate as will David and Mary, the Kentucky coal miner and his wife. Not appearing? Jonathan and Victoria, Chip and Kim, and anyone from the oft-maligned family edition.

Why can't Rob and Amber work for a living?

rob and amberReality show whores Amber and Rob Mariano are getting another reality show because it's better than having a day job. This time the newlyweds are going to the FOX Reality Channel for a docu-series, The Rob and Amber Project. Over ten, half-hour episodes, cameras will follow Rob as he moves to Las Vegas and attempts to launch a career as a professional gambler. Amber is just there to look hot, I guess.

If you wonder who on earth I'm talking about, Rob and Amber were both on Survivor and became a couple on Survivor: All-Stars, which Amber won. They placed second in The Amazing Race (the devilish side of me rooted for them) and they got married in a reality special last year. The Project premieres in January.
