Everyone knows that having a strong two-person alliance is the best way to make it to the end in Survivor, but when a power duo is annoying, it can make watching almost unbearable. From so-sweet-they-made-us-want-to-barf couples to the lioness moms and their daughters, these are the irritating duos who made our top five.
5. Rob and Amber (Survivor: All-Stars)
The first time “Boston” Rob Mariano played Survivor was on Marquesas, where his unparalleled cockiness and strategic gaming won him just as many fans as haters. But when he returned to play on All-Stars and started a power alliance with sweet, girl-next-door Amber Brkich from Survivor: The Australian Outback, he became all that much more powerful—and his supersized ego just got even bigger—which for non-Rob fans, was enough to make you want to hurl. As the season wore on, the romance between these two photogenic castaways grew exponentially, to the point where Boston Rob proposed to Amber at the Survivor: All-Stars reunion, before they announced who the winner was between them. Amber accepted without hesitation, and then she won the million—which meant Rob won the million, too—and they went on to get married in a televised Survivor special, compete on the Amazing Race, and live happily ever after. For all his annoying qualities, Rob was really sweet to Amber on All-Stars and their love was obviously the real thing, which has gone a long way toward redeeming Rob, turning him into one of the most well-liked Survivor players ever. And compared to so many of the calculating, evil minds who have played the game since, Rob’s game play seems downright sportsmanlike in comparison. Which is why “Romber” sits at number five on our list.
