Rob that was one of your best podcasts ever. I was riveted. Somehow the connection between you two was so special, as you are so different, yet both love Survivor so much. Carolyn you’re an incredible person, and you have really good values. You should work with handicapped people or something, very big heart. The shorts are ok, the bag is ok, Russell is ok, and you’re awesome.
Still humble after all this time. Carolyn's a real one! Love how Carolyn was brutally honest about the experience and what it actually feels like. I think most people mask and hide their feelings, especially in the new era, when they're betrayed. With strategy being so promoted as create genuine, authentic bonds with people to make it through the game to win, is a much more difficult than people make it out to be. Creating trust, genuine bonds with people, whether a game or not, is an emotional, vulnerable investment. That's the only way it really works! So I am grateful for Carolyn being brave to explain how raw and real the experience is. I think if I went on a show like Survivor, I would prepare myself for hate. I would prepare myself to be made fun of and do my best to lean into it. I would ignore the malicious hate but really, truly develop the "thick skin" to take the joke. It's fun to make light of situations, we all do dumb things, we're all imperfect, and it's okay! Sense of humor is so important to have in general. It breaks down the pressure, it tempers our egos, and helps us realize we're all just fumbling through life together.
Carolyn, you are safe to look at the rhap comment section, we all freaking LOve you ❤. No hate here. You might not "sound" like others the way you speak, but if people listen to what you have to say then they will realize how emotionally intelligent you actually really are.
Wow. Wasn't sure where this was going to go but I loved this whole conversation. Carolyn's always so candid and her comment about 'it's exhausting trying to be a chameleon' really hit me in the feels. Can't wait for you to have her on again, and very excited for Traitors 3.
20:58 To add on to Rob’s point, Eden in the most recent season of Australian Survivor also implemented this strategy, using it to target Raymond with the Titans at the F12. It’s a very brilliant strategy if you’re one of the biggest threats in the game after the merge
25:26 I agree with Carolyn about missing the relationship aspect of the season. For a season that is emphasizing 'community' there is a severe lack of it based on the lack of relationships that the show has helped us understand and feel as the audience.
Personally my new era Mount Rushmore has Carolyn at number 1 every single time. Mary Anne, Rickard and Jesse I think are my others but they're all open to debate. Carolyn is non negotiable. I am unreasonably excited for Traitors 3. I just hope my favorites, Carolyn and Bob, don't turn against each other 😅
I really enjoyed your conversation with Carolyn, but ad breaks every five minutes made it tough to get through. I get that RHAP needs to keep the lights on, but the number of ads on recent videos seems excessive.
Genuine Question: Why does it sound like Carolyn is defending herself all the time and who she is as person? She's amazing, but I ask because she gets overwhelming praise for being unapologetically herself from the RHAP community and Survivor fans, but is acting like the audience does not "understand" her, when she has a loyal audience/fanbase and a podcast platform to speak her mind. From the outside perspective, her podcast been a great success and she has wonderful fans out there who are here supporting her and work -- which is amazing, but at some point, it gets tired hearing her think she does't "deserve it" when the audience response from her, has been massive in a positive way. it's just lot of justifying, defending, and explaining energy from her. It just feels really off, when someone like Carolyn is defending herself to the fans who in fact, 100% understand her, support her and back her.
I too love almond Joy
Carolyn getting her own individualized podcast once a season is perfect 😂🙏
She's the QUEEN of the new era! 👑
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Carolyn is awesome, I like her even more out of the show!

the way she refuses to believe people could like her while at the same time being the most beloved new era player by far is honestly so endearing
I miss her so much!!!! The Tika 3 is the best alliance in the new era still!
Hands down
reba 4 outsold
Carolyn's a gem, so sincere and genuine.
I LOVE CAROLYN she better be in 50!
100% agreed!!!!!
I always thought the picture Carolyns son drew for her on the show would be a perfect tattoo for her.
I just love Carolyn so much. I relate to her more than any other contestant.

We need her back season 50
Carolyn is such a beautiful person inside and out💙
If I had to guess, people probably realize they can get a more interactive experience for cheaper with the Patron call-in shows than Cameo would be
Really fun to see Carolyn was able to get Rob to open up a bit even. He's very good at his craft, but did let her in a bit
Love Carolyn
Yes! I love her!!! ❤

Carolyn is such a sweet genuine person!!
Amazing podcast🔥🔥
Queen 👑 I love “Let’s Get Tribal”.
Carson and Carolyn both need to be on 50...they have to play together

My Mount Rushmore would be: Carolyn, Jesse, Maryann, and YamYam
The last word of Rob and Stephens’s ‘49 Laws of Power’ was Thimble haha
Wow
I really enjoyed your conversation with Carolyn, but ad breaks every five minutes made it tough to get through. I get that RHAP needs to keep the lights on, but the number of ads on recent videos seems excessive.
I would pay 10,000$ to have a one and a half hour conversation with Carolyn. Mount Rushmore New Era!
I love Carolyn....good luck on the traitors.. Looking beautiful ❤️
