STOPPP THE TITLE LMAO

[@TheMurrmursonbottle]

Talking about Rob on survivor is always funny because he seems like a completely separated person from the rob today, which is ironic considering rob being on survivor is the very catalyst for this whole channel existing. But as one of the first people to really dominate a season strategically completely on their own, and as someone who innovated the strategy of the whole show, he was legitimately phenomenal on Survivor and we forget that sometimes

Rob Cesternino on Survivor Amazon was my gay awakening when I was watching as a closeted freshman in college back in the day! As a straight male ally, Rob is in excellent company with other straight male gay icons from Australian Survivor - see, Simon, Jordie, Dave, Emmett (the list continues...)

Loved this episode! Always appreciate Brice’s perspective and energy and it was cool to look at Rob’s influence etc.

[@asiannarcissist5481]

Brice is a gift to us all 😭

[@RaeJames-gw9gf]

Don’t forget about the iconic Courtney Yates!!

[@shanexyz3972]

Great job on the season guys! I can tell lots of work and time go into these, so props!

[@Sparkles1919]

don't even need to watch this to know the answer is a big fat YASSSSSSSSSSS!

[@gray_7]

Yes Rob getting his flowers!!

[@26days]

YESSSS

[@joshkettles]

I can’t wait for Season 3 already, but… I am not sure anything will top this episode.

[@johnhepfer4484]

They better do Amanda soon.

[@asiannarcissist5481]

If we get greenlit for a season three, I can make the suggestion to Rob. What do you think the core question surrounding her that we can cover?

[@krystalrowe96]

❤

[@sandrafowler8633]

What is this?

[@J1gs0r3]

doesnt rob have a wife?

[@asiannarcissist5481]

Per the prompt, we discuss whether the legendary Survivor player Rob Cesternino is a "gay icon" in the sense that he resonates with many gay fans despite being a straight married man.

[@seal3081]

No he's not. It looks bad when his own network is making a vid like this. If he was a gay icon someone outside of rhap would be making this video. Rob is a business person and entrepreneur and part of being a good boss is doing the right thing. There should be no reward or titles for that.

[@asiannarcissist5481]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I recognize your position that allyship should come externally. Generally, I agree because people are often too happy to slap the label of "ally" on themselves without doing any of the critical work of supporting communities. That said, in a world where SO MANY people are barely doing the minimum (and others even less so or right out attacking), I personally like to give the shout out to those that stand out. In the grand scheme of things though, this was just a tongue and cheek title to hook people into listening about a podcast about character appreciation. I hope you found some points interesting or fun 😊

[@theunitedkingdom]

it’s literally a joke man

[@nealmiles9070]

It’s not bad to be gay

[@Grav3yardguy01]

Didn’t need a podcast… the answer was always YES!!
