Rob Cesternino

Trivia

 * Rob's master move in Survivor: Amazon came in Episode 10 when he turned the tables on Alex Bell. He appeared to have a comfortable alliance of four with Alex, Heidi Strobel, and Jenna Morasca. However, the night following the last Tribal Council, Alex informed Rob that, once they all got to the Final Four, he and the girls would vote to oust him (unless he won immunity). Rob then used this opportunity to talk with Matthew von Ertfelda, Christy Smith and Butch Lockley. At Tribal Council, the four voted to oust a stunned Alex.


 * Rob's most famous quote in Survivor: Amazon came in the episode after he orchestrated the table-turning on Alex. Jenna Morasca confronted him about looking out for himself and he replied, "Feel free to write 'R-O-B' on your parchment tonight!"


 * Rob also provided one of the funnier moments in Survivor: Amazon during his voting confessional in Episode 7 when he cast a vote for Roger Sexton. He pretended to be Casey Kasem doing his "Long Distance Dedication" segment from his American Top 40 radio broadcast, ending with a line from the song Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye by Steam.
