Road to Reality | Reflecting with Gabby Pascuzzi

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.

In episode 6, we speak with Gabby Pascuzzi from Season 37, David vs. Goliath. Gabby is currently getting her PhD in Social Psychology, a life experience that has given her the expertise to reflect upon the Survivor experience through a unique lens. Gabby talks about being an “emotional woman” on Survivor, mentoring “new school” Survivors becoming what Gabby has coined a Survivor Elder. She catches us up on her life outside of Survivor along the way.
