Hey, everybody. Rob Cessorino here and I'm so excited for another one of our postseason

interviews because I am here with somebody who made such a big impression on the Survivor fans

this season. It is my great honor to talk to Genevieve. Genevieve, how are you?

Hi, Rob. I am doing well. Excited to be here. Yes. Life is good. Life is good. I have like really enjoyed not having the

anxiety spiral every like Monday, Tuesday leading up to Wednesday. And now I just. Why anxiety spiral?

What, what's that from? Well, I did this thing called Survivor and it aired on CBS on Wednesday nights and they

don't show you what they're going to show of you in advance.

So it's like the feeling of someone's going to read a page from your diary and you don't

know which one or how many sentences they'll read or what context they'll give.

So that was mainly the struggle and now it's January and life is good, you know, 2025, baby.

But you came off so well on the show. Every week it was more anxiety.

Every week it was the same anxiety. Like people have asked me, what was it like? Was I so

heartbroken the first few episodes to not be shown. And I really thrived as the purple princess.

That is where I feel. You like that the best. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Because I know what I did.

But I can intellectually understand that there is the experience of Survivor, which was for me.

And there is the show Survivor, which is for all of us. And I don't get to control that.

Yeah. All right. I'd love to jump into the time when you were the purple princess, when we really

did not get to know you well at all in the very early days and kind of thought like, okay, well,

this is just going to be this purple person. And we had no idea you'd be such a big fixture on the

season. So I guess I'd love to know about the beginning of your journey on Survivor.

All right. Let's walk through it. So I think the big thing that was a bummer to start off my

survivor journey with was I got really sick the first few days.
