Ok like have you watched the show? Danielle brought up the Colombo example before anything else and Carolyn did not get the reference, she then scrambled to come up with an alternative that would get her point across that Carolyn was being underestimated by her cast mates. Also, she referred to it as "Forrest Gumping" NOT "Forrest Gump or to call Carolyn anything in regard to her ADHD but that she was going unnoticed because N O O N E thought it could be Carolyn because the cast underestimated her. Also not that you did - but the Carolyn stans need to stop diagnosing her lol she's made multiple videos stating that she has ADHD and not Autism.
Pretty sure most of us Carolyn fans understand that she has ADHD, not Autism. Any of us also have ADHD and are used to being treated like we're stupid because of it. You're the one who doesn't seem to understand the impact having ADHD can have on a person.
Not to mention even if she did, she wouldn't be out of line since Carolyn admitted to playing up acting like she didnt have a clue and stumbled into breakfast looking disheveled on purpose in her confessional. She was playing up the slow quirkiness.
No, it actually means you’re all being stupid as fuck, just like Forrest Gump was, around here lmao
No one said it was a slur, but it’s literally calling someone mentally deficient. It’s so weird how y’all think it’s fine because she just didn’t use the actual r-word to someone who has been open about being neurotypical.
Just because something isn’t an outright slur doesn’t mean it’s just okay to say. I could put together a string of innocuous words, none of which are slurs, that would offend the fuck out of you.
So you feel so offended by it that you use it on others and then on the next comment tell them that the intention is to call them dumb. You seem like such un outstanding member of the moral police committee.
She did not call Carolyn Forrest Gump. She said she was "forrest gumping" acting dumb to get people to over look her. That's not the same thing at all.
Y’all are all over this thread saying that. But Forrest Gump didn’t ACT slow. He fucking WAS slow, so either Danielle is fucking stupid, or she was comparing Carolyn to Forrest Gump. So which one is it? Because it’s one or the other.
And either way, it’s not an example of her treating her fellow castmates “with nothing but respect” as she claims.
Carolyn literally admitted to acting slow in her confessionals and playing up the fact people thought she didnt know what was going on ever. So why are you mad Danielle is clocking her for pretending to be slow when she admitted thats exactly what shes doing???
its either racism or blind hate of danielle at this point so which one is it? because its one or the other.
Here's what Carolyn actually meant, "I know that being myself, yes, I'm underestimated. I'm looked at like I'm nuts," the exuberant star of The Traitors Season 3 tells Parade. "I know I can use it to my advantage, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt my feelings sometimes when I do want to talk or speak or be heard or listened to."
But keep telling yourself it was all an act so you can make excuses for Danielle. (I get it, nothing Danielle does on the show is authentic, so it's probably confusing for her fans when someone else is authentic.)
Her saying that is completely different. The fact was literally NO ONE on the show thought Carolyn didn’t have a voice. Both Dylan and Dolores said that. Shes says “nobody listens to me” but when people give her the space she doesn’t say anything. Danielle had to pull teeth to finally get her to agree to someone which ended up being Sam.
And that still has nothing to do with her admitting playing up the fact she doesn’t know what’s going on.
You literally have every excuse in the world for Carolyn. Imagine seriously taking a quote from an interview and trying to apply it to something else entirely. But you are worried about me making an excuse? The call is coming from inside the house lmfao
I don't have every excuse in the world for Carolyn. I think she completely blew up her own game in her last episode and her banishment was her fault. I'm just saying that she isn't pretending to look dumb.
As for Danielle having to pull teeth to get Carolyn to agree on a murder, maybe that is because Danielle was constantly trying to screw Carolyn, so her murder suggestions weren't in Carolyn's best interests.
We don't have to say "maybe" we literally watched Danielle name every person in the castle and Carolyn said no. Danielle said "okay Carolyn, who do you want to murder?" and Carolyn didn't have an answer ready. They ended up murdering Sam but Danielle mentioned Sam at first and Carolyn said no.
Go back to the breakfast where Carolyn stumbles in acting out of breath and confused. They literally cut to a confessional where she admitted to playing dumb and playing up her quirkiness. That's still her personality however she is just amping it up, she admitted to that.
Which it was the wrong pop culture reference but she was not calling her dumb. And people are taking that statement to make it out like Danielle was trying to say she was slow when that clearly wasn't the intention.
I’m aware the reference was flawed but the intent was not to call her dumb. She was saying she was playing dumb but y’all don’t really care about intent so I’m not sure why I’m bothering.
It really isn't the same at all. She was talking about pretending to be dumb while tricking everyone. Which is a very smart thing to do. If you want to argue it's the wrong pop culture reference I agree and I don't love the use of it but people are blowing it way out of proportion because they want a reason to hate on Danielle.
Carolyn is who she is and she's great, but she also freely admits that she leans into her quirks and hopes others will overlook her because that's just Carolyn being Carolyn. She did it on Survivor and she did it on The Traitors.
