Rob Mariano – better known survivor And Amazing Race fans as “Boston Rob” is back as a home improvement contractor who helps celebrities help those who matter most to them. Season 3 kicks off August 4 with two consecutive episodes on CBS reuniting Mariano with Amazing Race take Phil Keoghan and combine him with Land of Fire star Max Thieriot.
Boston Rob Mariano, who was originally a guest on the show for the first season, spoke to CinemaBlend ahead of Celebrity Secret Repairthird season and he talked about working with two celebrities!
Boston Rob was familiar with CBS before he joined. Celebrity Secret Repair as a contractor for season 2 as he survivor legend after several seasons of this show and appeared in two seasons Amazing Race. Fans can see his reunion with Phil Keoghan in a completely different show with the third season premiere. When I spoke with Mariano about what was ahead of us, he told me what it was like to work with Keoghan and who Great race the owner wanted to help
It was amazing. Phil and I didn’t really have much of a relationship other than The Amazing Race as we raced it twice, but I always respected Phil by watching how he behaved as a race host. I look up at him and then I see what he did with Tough as Nails. He has that adventure and that spirit, which I think is very close to me. So going back to work with him in the place where he grew up on the island of Antigua and spending time getting his hands dirty and getting the job done, you really get to see these celebrities (and) what they’re really made of. and I have to tell you, Phil is a guy who goes above and beyond all the time.
Many people get their hands dirty Amazing RaceBut Celebrity Secret Repair this is the show that will make Phil Keoghan act, not lead. Boston Rob only praised the TV presenter as season 3 gave them the opportunity to join forces in a way they never could when he was on Keoghan’s show. Mariano went on to describe what Great race icon wanted to do with his chance to help someone:
He’s a real, genuine good dude and he did a renovation for his neighbor Lotta who lived in Antigua when he was a boy next to him and what was cool about that renovation was that it wasn’t a personal renovation just for her. . . She volunteered at a local hospice, so when Phil approached her and said they wanted to do something for her, she immediately said, “Not for me. Let’s do it for society as a whole.” And we ended up refurbishing the Antigua hospice to help all the other people who are going through this really difficult period of life. It’s amazing to see someone like Phil and the people he associates with give back in that way. So it was an honor to work with him again.
Not only has Phil Keoghan returned to his Antigua roots with resources Celebrity Secret Repair, but the team will renovate the hospice for a volunteer. Let’s talk about a nice way to start the season! As all the fans who have watched the earlier episodes on CBS or streamed on a Paramount+ subscription know, this show has the ability to touch a nerve. Rob Mariano of Boston went on to share that he and Keoghan “hung out a few times” since the renovation, including playing tennis and working out.
The second episode of the consecutive premiere moves from CBS reality show host to CBS scripted star with Max Thieriot, formerly SEAL Team before moving on to starring and executive producing Land of Fire – choose your friend to help with Celebrity Secret Repair. According to Rob Mariano, Thieriot decided to help the man who actually inspired the story. Land of Fire. The contractor shared:
Max was great. He’s great in Fireland, but we actually went to Northern California, to Western California, near Bodega Bay, north of San Francisco, and his friend that he grew up with, Josh, is a real firefighter… Here is this guy. it inspired the show, so to spend time with Max up there – Josh has a young family, a wife, and he’s a firefighter, he has a butchery business. He has a lot to do. So he’s on hand and he started, (how) you can say renovation, he started doing all these different projects around this house, but I think he just didn’t have enough time and he needed someone, who would help him finish.
We can only hope that the life of Max Thieriot’s friend is much less dramatic than what Land of Fire characters pass even if he is the inspiration for the show! Thieriot’s house renovation episode sounds very different from Phil Keoghan’s, but it’s no less touching. Mariano went on to share some of what emerged from the experience with SEAL Team alum:
What was really cool was that not only did Max admit it, but once we got there, we got (Josh) to the finish line so now he can spend that time with his family and friends and he doesn’t have to constantly work. on these side projects.
Luckily, you don’t have much time left to see how Phil Keoghan and Max Thieriot went above and beyond to help those who matter to them with the help of Rob Mariano, interior designer Sabrina Soto and host Nichelle Turner.
