and the Poolie goes to...
1. Rob Mariano (Survivor) 31 points (1st)
This is Rob Mariano's second Poolie nomination for best male reality competition contestant, and first ever win of the Terry Fator Award.
It took Boston Rob Mariano four seasons, but he finally won the coveted honor of Sole Survivor. He did it with class. He did it with style. And he did it by completely controlling everyone on the island from start to finish. Not only did he lie, steal, and back stab his way to the final tribal, but he brought with him two contestants that were not going to have a prayer of beating him at the jury vote. He out Russelled Russell Hantz in a season that was dubbed "Rob vs. Russell" and we all were better for it. Not only was he a fantastic player, but he was a joy to watch. I wasn't in the Survivor game way back when this guy got started, but it's hard to imagine he was ever more entertaining than he was here, on Redemption Island.
