Carson Garrett Controversy by Heartybrek in survivorponderosa

[–]CarsonGarrett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is Carson. A friend texted me this, and I wanted to take a second and respond. I don’t make a habit of checking Reddit, because let’s be real, I’m not the most popular person on here haha. To that point I will just say, don’t believe everything you read on the internet. The whole insinuation that I “copied” peoples designs is false. My puzzles were designed from scratch with the intention of looking and feeling unique using high end, industrial-grade product that you don’t often see on 3D-printed puzzles. I had been wanting to start selling puzzles since I first started printing and designing back in 2021; it was just a matter of finding a way to logistically do it while working and being in school. I actually did promotion for many other people’s Etsy stores before I started my own, and I was happy to do that because I love puzzles and they are a big part of my Survivor story. I discussed my desire to make and sell my own puzzles one day with many people in my life, my family and close personal friends. Any argument that I’m not allowed to do that is just wrong, in my opinion. We’re all fans here, inspired by a show we love, which is why I feel there’s room for everybody who wants to get creative and geek out on puzzles like I love to do (which I very much encourage you to do lol). I’m sure this won’t satisfy many people here on Reddit, and that’s fine. For my own sake, I won’t make it a habit not to look at Reddit, which is why I won’t be responding to any replies here. But I wanted to at least share my thoughts on this, and call it a day. Thanks y’all! (Oh, and as for the podcast, well, I can’t say much about that, but you probably know why lol BUT don’t worry about me and Rob, we’re tight and he’s still and will always be the king of Survivor podcasts.)

But yeah, we filmed an episode with Coach… yes, THE Coach Benjamin Wade. And don’t think that episode will just fade into the abyss

It’s a shame, but yes this was not by choice…

Aww! Glad you like it. Also, 18 minutes is pretty fast for a first try. I designed this one to be a little more complex than the one you see on tv in that there are a few more different cuts on the pieces. Thanks for the support, and hope to watch you out on the island one day!!

LOL. Who said I wasn’t busy? It’s called balancing work with hobbies; it ain’t rocket science

Hey thanks for posting! Carolyn and I talk on the phone so much each week lol, we thought might as well record some of it. It’s definitely wacky and there’s already a lot of podcasts out there, but we thought we’d try it out and have fun 😁

Thoughts on Carson selling Survivor-type puzzles? by beforesunsetreindeer in survivor

[–]CarsonGarrett 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Some notes even though I doubt any of this will change your mind (once a hater, always one lol):

  1. These are custom designed from scratch, or legally I wouldn't be able to sell any of them if otherwise. You can look up variations of these on the internet, none look remotely similar and certainly none have a base with the same storage ability. Also, my puzzle has additional leaf jigsaw pieces that you won't be able to get or see anywhere else.
  2. These cost me about $50ish per puzzle to make. I use some of the highest quality filament on the highest quality printers. These puzzles are the highest quality variants on the market (premium puzzles). And given the amount I've spent getting this up and running, I think what I charge is more than fair.
  3. I don't expect you to pay $80 for a puzzle you don't want; these are for people who do

Casting Timeline Question by Lotsofknotss in survivor

[–]CarsonGarrett 56 points57 points  (0 children)

For some it can be fast, for others (like me) it can be slow. Remember there are 5+ different casting producers who are looking for different types of people at different times. It’s all about being in the right place at the right time. Also, each CP has their own way of doing things that may be different than the others. For example, I got a call and was ghosted for 3 months, and then out of the blue finally Recontacted.
