![]() ![]() It's not what we spend most of our lives doing. We were so lucky to have a family that cared about athletics and adventure. So we didn't grow up as Alaskan fishermen, or grow up adventure racing basically professionally from age 10. "I was trying to make fire on my Brooklyn apartment roof. "I went in really never having made fire," Cason shared. With plenty of distance from that last race day to their return to normal, Cason said he can look back now and be most proud of how determined they were about pushing through and how much they grew as survivalists and adventurers. Bella was my teammate and I wasn't thinking of her as like, my 'female teammate,' though she is my sister." But Bella is so right that we just thought of ourselves as another team. "And not just for Bella as a woman," Cason added. "It hadn't hit me before how that dynamic would be changed." That culture shift was noticeable there was just too much testosterone in the air," she said with a laugh. Once the female teams left, it was a pretty stark difference in survival camp when it was just me and the guys. They were great to have in survival camp and had the best energy, so it was sad to be the only girl. "But it happened that some of the female teams got knocked out early, which was actually a huge bummer on the social side. I never thought about the gender dynamic," Bella admitted. "I always thought of Cason and I as just competing against other teams in the way athletes often do. The pair said those distinct stats really only hit them when the race was over. For us, it was very special opportunity because we are corporate, so we definitely made the most of it."īy the last leg of the race, Bella represented the last woman standing of the six that started 39 days prior, and Cason was the lone member of the LGBTQ+ community on the course. All the other teams that live in the outdoors, they all do this for a living, to some extent. "I think we did take a lot out of it and we're really grateful for the experience. "That's really nice to hear because I felt like we underwent the most growth of any team there, in a positive direction," Bella shared. Now back in their normal lives as Brooklyn-based professionals, Bella and Cason told USA Insider that they were pleased to hear Bishop's assessment of their performance on the series. "They were the team that I was like, 'This is just a joy to be able to watch them,'" he said. As an architect of the race course journey, Bishop told USA Insider that there were a couple of teams that made him particularly happy to have on the show, but just one team that he felt learned the most: Bella and Cason. Their prowess consistently surprised not only frontrunner teams Max Djenohan and Christian Junkar and Oliver and Wilson Hoogendorn, but also Race to Survive: Alaska co-executive producer Alan Bishop.

Once cast, the pair initially employed a savvy, observational strategy to gain advice and skills from their more experienced peers. In fact, they both have corporate jobs in New York City and were inspired by their r esilient mother to push themselves by applying for the show.
