Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on December 25, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Rob Mariano! From racing around the globe in "Around the World in 80 Ways" to outsmarting everyone on Survivor—your adventures have kept us laughing and cheering. You've proven that whether stranded on an island or navigating chaotic travel challenges, your charm and wit always come through.

Here's hoping this birthday brings you fewer detours than your TV journeys—but just as many laughs. May all future alliances be trustworthy (well...mostly), may every challenge end with immunity (or at least cake!), and may life continue giving you plenty of reasons to flash that famous Boston grin. Cheers!
