Road to Reality | A Whole New Perspective with Dino Paulo
Wednesday, August 2, 2023 • Duration 02:01:46
Road to Reality is a limited edition series hosted by Kellyn Bechtold (@theKellynB) from Survivor Ghost Island. Listen in while she interviews former Survivor contestants about their real life and how being on reality television has had a major impact on their life trajectories. Every reality contestant has been on a story-worthy journey to land on television and yet the edit turns them into a hero or a villain or maybe something in between, but it is always just one dimension. Tune in to hear a 360 degree perspective from some of your favorite contestants.
Episode 9 features Dino Paulo, the Sole Survivor of Survivor South Africa: Return of the Outcasts (Season 9) who also previously competed on Survivor South Africa: Immunity Island (Season 8). Dino takes us through the experience of playing Survivor SA and how it compares and contrasts with US Survivor. He is able to describe the psychological experience of going through casting, losing and winning Survivor with exceptional insights. We find how playing Survivor in two different countries is different in a few ways, and yet how incredibly similar it is as a human experience of a lifetime.
