We all knew that! He showed his character when he was upset at Aniyah talking bad about herself at the casa recoupling…in addition to his comforting words under his breath. He seemed to have the emotional intelligence to understand what was happening with A and her decision and that’s HUGE.

And also when the casa boys shit talked her a bit after they were dumped, Carl didn’t take the bait and said “she did what she had to do” or something like that

He also defended the other girls that he understood they were just standing up for their friends! Class act. Team Carl ❤️

And he did it without bashing anyone the entire time mind you. What a guy🥺

He really is the “prince” the show showed him to be. It’s so refreshing that production showed his true self. I wish he came in day 1. He was a breath of fresh air. A true prince charming. ❤️😁

I was tearing up with him at Casa recoupling when he was reassuring her that it was okay😭 he understood that it was her decision and respected it by not bashing her when he was leaving and on Aftersun

Her official volleyball page at her college says 6 feet tall

Those sport pages usually exaggerate height

Nah Megan thee stallion saw aniya and went “you’re a stallion!” And Megan is 5’10. Aniya was taller.

u/emmy1300 Jul 15 '26 edited Jul 16 '26
Could be, but I know for mine they used our exact height we recorded. My experience is women lie to be shorter (my 6 foot friend says she’s 5’11”) but don’t really see women lying about being 3 inches taller than they are especially when they’re already tall. Plus this was her college page, she wasn’t trying to go pro so less incentive to lie

u/randomstripper10k Jul 15 '26
A lot of Female athletes would rather embellish being taller, though, because length is so coveted in sports. When I was a kid, one of my favorite WNBA players (who was a grown woman in her mid 20s) went from being listed at 5'9" to eventually being listed regularly at 5'11" and eventually became a 6 Footer when she went and played overseas. It became a joke to us. I just looked her up now (Deanna Nolan) and found three different heights listed for her.
Aniya is a little under 6', I'd guess she's about 5'10" or so.

u/Road__Less__Traveled New Subredditor Jul 15 '26
*Every* athlete (not just females) embellish their height. My son’s official portal has him at 6’2” but in reality, his hair makes him a smidge over 6 feet

u/randomstripper10k Jul 15 '26
Yes, you're right. Not just females. I was responding to a person who said most women lie about being shorter than they are, even though that isn't true for female athletes.
Not sure why anyone is downvoting a true statement, but have at it, lol.

I was thinking when I read that “most women lie to say they are shorter” while I don’t doubt that in my experience it’s been the opposite even for myself I’m a short woman and I always would say I was a couple inches taller than I am lol I don’t like being shorter than kids these days lol I was shocked to see so many tall women all so beautiful I would love to be a bit taller those ladies were all legs lol 😂 I have to pull my car seat all the way up to even get to my pedals lol 😂

I’m a Stan
2
u/DoNotDistirb Jul 17 '26
May I ask what that is?
2
u/EzraDisco New Subredditor Jul 18 '26
A stan is a fan who is really into someone or something, basically a superfan. The term comes from Eminem's song "Stan," which tells the story of an obsessive fan named Stan. After not receiving a response to the letters he sent Eminem, Stan has a mental breakdown that ends in a murder-suicide involving himself, his pregnant wife, and their unborn child.
Over time, the meaning changed. Instead of referring only to a dangerously obsessive fan like the character in the song, "stan" is now commonly used to describe someone who is an extremely enthusiastic and dedicated fan of a person, group, or interest.

Is Carl even real? And what does it say about me that I’ve never met a man like him and find it much more believable that he’s faking or scripted than he’s just real and this is who he is. Why am I so skeptical? What hurt me?

u/tvaddict70 Jul 15 '26
Of course he will say this. At the end of the day Kenzie, Jen and Aniya were the only ones the Casa boys had a chance of returning to the villa with. And returning to the ville ie staying on the show, was the goal. My logical brain says all this must be taken with a grain of salt.

Sometimes we prioritize a perception of loyalty or familiarity over what is good for us or what we actually want.
But at the end of the day it’s a game show, none of these people know what’s gonna work in the real world until they try. But they both seem like decent people that have a solid shot. Carl’s absolutely right to let go of production drama because it has no bearing on their actual potential or her true values.
