Summary
In this episode of Beyond the Torch, host Leslie is joined by her Survivor “daughter”, Courtney (runner-up of Survivor China) and fan-favorite Carolyn Rivera ("Mama C") from Survivor: Worlds Apart, for a warm and wide-ranging conversation about Carolyn's long journey to get on the show — including nine audition videos, a legendary rap, and a callback from a casting director who called her first video the worst he'd ever seen. The ladies swap stories about watching their seasons with family, the hilarious wardrobe mishaps and strategic clothing swaps on the island and the deep bonds that form between castaways long after the game ends. They also touch on Carolyn's life post-Survivor — her new relationship, her work in executive coaching and leadership, and her continued hope to return to the game — before closing with heartfelt reflections on the Survivor Mom Squad and the lifelong friendships the show has given them all.
