🏝️ Survivor BFFs Carolyn & Carson's Split?

Former Survivor 44 allies Carolyn Wiger and Carson Garrett have seemingly ended their friendship, with eagle-eyed fans noticing the pair's mutual social media unfollow. The duo, who formed an unlikely but beloved alliance during their season, have also dissolved their joint Patreon venture "Chaos & Calculations."

The friendship initially blossomed during their time on Survivor 44, where Carolyn's chaotic energy perfectly complemented Carson's strategic gameplay. Their dynamic captured viewers' hearts, particularly after Carson's emotional tribal council speech defending Carolyn from other players' criticisms.

Post-show, the pair capitalized on their friendship, launching merchandise lines featuring their catchphrases and hosting weekly live streams where they'd break down current Survivor episodes. Their joint Patreon channel, which offered behind-the-scenes content and strategy discussions, had amassed over 2,000 subscribers.

So far, neither party has addressed the apparent fallout publicly, though both have removed their "Best Friend Forever" highlights from their Instagram profiles. Carolyn continues to stream on Twitch, while Carson has focused on his engineering career in Atlanta.

The timing of their split coincides with major Survivor podcast news, as Season 47 winner Rachel LaMont was just announced as Jeff Probst's new cohost for "On Fire With Jeff Probst." The role, previously held by Rick Devens, Dee Valladares, and Charlie Davis, has become a coveted position among former players (see more).

👰‍♂️ Joey & Kelsey Put Wedding Plans On Hold As Careers Soar

Bachelor Nation's golden couple Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson are facing a packed 2025, with their wedding plans taking a backseat to flourishing careers. The Season 28 pair, who got engaged over a year ago, have been juggling their relationship with increasingly busy schedules.

Since their engagement, both have transformed into major social media influencers. Joey, fresh off his Dancing With The Stars Season 33 win, has been touring with the show's live production. Meanwhile, Kelsey has built an impressive following of 848K on Instagram and 713K on TikTok, with Joey neck and neck at 990K and 422K followers respectively.

The couple's packed schedule has left little time for wedding planning. They've been spotted at high-profile events like the Super Bowl in New Orleans, a city that holds special meaning for the pair who once called it home. Despite their hectic lifestyle, they continue to share their journey through sponsored content and social media updates (here’s their relationship timeline).

While fans eagerly await wedding bells, the couple remains focused on their individual paths. In a recent Wawa sponsored post, Kelsey hinted at their timeline, stating they plan to tie the knot "definitely within the next two years," suggesting a potential 2026 ceremony.

The delay hasn't dampened their commitment, as the pair continues to live together since their post-show move-in, proving their relationship remains strong despite their career-focused present.
