Talking with T-Bird: Caryn Groedel
The time has come for the return of “Talking with T-Bird.” Each episode, Rob Cesternino (@robcesternino) and Survivor: Africa‘s Teresa “T-Bird” Cooper (@tbirdcooper) will catch up with a former Survivor player and talk about anything and take listener questions. In the fifty-third episode of “Talking with T-Bird,” Rob and T-Bird’s guest is 5th place finisher on Survivor: Palau, Caryn Groedel.
Caryn’s journey on Survivor began on the dominant Koror tribe, where she was selected in a schoolyard pick. Although she was outside the majority alliance on Koror and was not vital to challenge success, Caryn was safe as her tribe went on to win every tribal immunity challenge that season. In lieu of a traditional merge, Stephanie, the final remaining member of the Ulong tribe was absorbed into Koror, and the individual phase of the game began. She found herself in a much better position and found trust in eventual season winner Tom Westman. After being involved in the blindside of Ian, Caryn found herself in the crosshairs and was voted out of the game on Day 36. In her personal life, Caryn is a lawyer and lives in Ohio with her husband and three daughters.
