There’s typically a shared bond between former "Survivor" players. Only they really know what it’s like to live through it, and that shared experience creates camaraderie (see Mike White putting contestants on "White Lotus"), even between castaways who weren’t on the same seasons. Plenty of contestants have referred to it as a family, but that doesn’t mean everyone in the family always agrees or sees things the same way. That was pretty clear earlier this week when a current "Survivor" player went off about the “disgusting” messages they’ve seen from former players about the current cast.

Carson Garrett is a castaway on "Survivor 44." He’s a future NASA scientist and is starting to get his first taste for how loud the "Survivor" community can be about everything when a new season is airing. Typically that involves a lot of commentary on strategy and gameplay, but very frequently, it can also involve personal attacks and comments about people’s character. There’s no controlling fans when they take things too far, but Carson feels like there’s a line former contestants shouldn’t cross. He dropped a lengthy tweet explaining his viewpoint.
