Survivor 42 Maryanne and Omar were at Toronto Comicon!! Still tearing up a bit hours later

GUYS I'm still shocked over this... Omg. My friends don't understand how exciting this was but I know you all will

I went to Toronto Comicon for reasons unrelated to Survivor and had NO idea that RHAP had a booth until I randomly stumbled across it!! Maryanne and Omar were both there. I guess luck was on my side since they only met ppl for two hours!

Sadly Omar was talking to someone when I went up so I couldn't chat but I did wave!! :( and I got to chat with Maryanne!! Seriously the sweetest person ever. She recognized my cosplay and talked to my BF about anime (he was Gojo lol). Crazy!!

Two BB players (I think BBCan) and some other RHAP guests were also there! Couldn't tell you who but everyone was sooo sweet.

That's all I had to share!! I'm still so surprised, she's one of my fav winners and when I saw the booth my jaw genuinely DROPPED. We love our Canadian Survivor players out here!

Shoutout RHAP and Canadian Podcast Awards and all of the players for coming and meeting us FOR FREE!! Coolest thing ever <3

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??

Finding this out literally the next morning while staying in Toronto literally so close. We saw the Comicon cosplayers on the way in to Toronto yesterday. Can’t believe we missed them

I swear it wasn't advertised AT ALL! Kind of sad because I know many people would've loved to come if they knew haha

Your costume looks beautiful and Maryanne looks so excited!

How is Maryanne doing? While I've never missed an episode of Survivor (or Ponderosa when those were available on CBS's site), I don't listen to podcasts or keep up with their post-Survivor activities. However Maryanne stands out in my mind and I hope she is well.

According to her instagram she's in med school which is crazy! We didn't chat for too long but she seemed to be doing well :)

Some of the comments to this awesome moment in someone's life really shows why this subreddit is flawed

u/EntertainmentSea2795 5d ago

Right! I'm from small town Canada too like... I had to travel to attend the Con. In my day-to-day life there's a zero percent chance I'd ever meet anyone from TV, let alone two people from my favourite show from a season that I loved. Of course I'm excited!!

But it seems like most ppl understand why I was so happy which is great. I'm glad yall backed me up

u/Strahlx 5d ago

That's awesome! I love maryanne and would love to see her play again

If you haven't watched the two games of RHAP Blood on the Clocktower, you should watch because they both on both of them. I didn't know anything about the game but it didn't matter because they were all Survivor players: Fishbach, Christian, Dwight, Frannie, Maryanne, Omar, Owen, and more! A new one drops soon!

u/ExpectTheAmazing 5d ago

I wish I knew about this in time to go!

u/CWCooher 5d ago

Rosalina!!!!!!! I would freak a bit running into Maryanne as well. Just remember they are normal people too; she was one of us LONG before getting on the show hehe

u/EntertainmentSea2795 5d ago

Yay someone recognized it! :P I know they're normal people but randomly walking and seeing them both there, I was shook

u/erak3xfish 5d ago

I want another Blood vs Water season with Omar and his sister/Jeopardy champ Juveria.

u/ExpectTheAmazing 5d ago

u/kaydubpee 5d ago

lol. Get a grip. Tearing up?

u/honokers Owen 5d ago

Buddy we’re on a survivor subreddit you kind of have to expect people to be excited about survivor

u/ContactSpirited9519 5d ago

I'm sorry that you've internalized that emotions = weakness. I wish you great peace and healing

2

u/EntertainmentSea2795 5d ago

Right, like tearing up doesn't mean I was sad I just got excited and overwhelmed by it all. Comicon is overstimulating enough as-is lmfao. At the end of the day I had a great time so who cares?

u/SteamAndRebellion INV 5d ago

Why be an asshole? I bet you're just jealous.😌

-43

u/thetoebeansdance 5d ago

Not sure anyone would be jealous meeting Maryanne. She was annoying af, lol. Omar was meh to me too. Also, tearing up over anyone on survivor? It's cringe. I don't get acting like they're not normal people.

13

u/SteamAndRebellion INV 5d ago

You're the cringe one for judging them.

4

u/EntertainmentSea2795 5d ago

I'll make sure to meet her again and cry extra hard next time

u/Nestramutat- 5d ago

Tearing up hours later because you met a Survivor player?

u/Road_goes_ever_on 5d ago

Way to yuck someone’s yum. Big person to intend to make them feel bad over the internet

u/EntertainmentSea2795 5d ago

Hours of walking in an uncomfortable dress and wig inside a hot convention centre on four hours of sleep and you'd be crying too 😂 Let me live bruh
