The thrilling season concluded with Efron taking home the top prize, but that’s not the only victory he’s celebrating. Earlier in April, the two were spotted enjoying a sunny day on the golf course, showcasing their new bromance.
The Golf Challenge
Now, picture this: Boston Rob, a man known for his distinctive Boston accent, stepping up to the golf tee with all the confidence in the world—or so we thought! It seems golf isn’t everyone’s game, and Mariano’s skills had fans chuckling. During their round of golf, Efron made a playful jab at Mariano’s challenge, laying down the friendly wager: “Closest to the pin, looza buyz tha beers.” This fun Boston-influenced phrase really sets the tone for a fantastic casual battle on the green.
The Lake Incident
Let’s just say, it wasn’t Mariano’s day on the course. Despite starting strong with a few decent shots, he hilariously ended up sending one right into a lake! In true Mariano style, he tried to brush off the blunder with a comedic quip suggesting that it didn’t count for the bet, proving once again that his humor shines just as brightly as his competitive spirit.
Instagram Moments
The budding friendship didn’t go unnoticed. Efron took to Instagram to share the fun moment, teasing Mariano with a caption that showcased just how much he enjoyed the day. It seems that for Efron, his playful ribbing of Mariano is all part of their “Backwards Hat Bros” vibe. Both stars have been seen engaging in hilarious social media skits, showing that their connection goes beyond reality TV.
More Than Just Competition

As if their friendship wasn’t interesting enough, Efron recently shared that he and Mariano even collaborated on a High School Musical parody video. The video caught the positive attention of Efron’s brother, Zac, and is a testament to their fun-loving approach to life outside the fray of competition.
Mariano’s Reality Challenges
Despite their jovial friendship, Mariano has had his fair share of competition challenges. He admitted that *The Traitors* proved to be one of the toughest reality shows he’s appeared on, even more so than *Survivor* or *Deal or No Deal Island*. Managing strategic game moves and dealing with multiple players created a whole new level of intensity for him.
Friendship Beyond the Game
Even after Mariano’s elimination, his camaraderie with Efron remains strong. They’ve continued their friendship, staying connected through phone calls and texts. Mariano has shown unwavering support for Efron throughout the competition and continues to cheer him on, proving that true friendships can blossom, even amid sharp competition.
