Road to Reality | It’s Complicated with Domenick Abbate

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 2, Kellyn Bechtold discusses the before, during and after of playing Survivor Season 36 Ghost Island with her fellow cast member, Domenick Abbate. Dom and Kellyn loosely worked together off and on throughout the season, but it was an alliance of convenience, not one of true connection. Six years have passed since and their relationship has morphed into a true friendship. Follow along as they wind through their memories of casting, playing and surviving it all, first in perpendicular, then in parallel. Get to know more about Dom’s life post Survivor and hear some of his best game advice.
