Although the Snowflake Mountain cast filmed the show in England’s Lake District of Cumbria, several of them were from the U.S. In the series' first episode, viewers met Carl, a Los Angeles native who admittedly had no idea what he wanted to do with his life. But, like his castmates, he knew the survival camp his family sent him to couldn’t possibly be his next move. Soon, though, Carl seemingly made the best of the situation by participating in the challenges and attempting to grow as a person.

Despite his athletic background and competitive nature, Carl didn’t make it to the end of Snowflake Mountain. During one episode, survivalists Matt and Joel instructed the contestants to complete a mountain climbing challenge. Carl made it halfway through the climb before shutting down in the middle of the event. When Joel and Matt attempted to console him, they told Carl he can’t complete the challenge with the rest of the cast.

Frustrated by their comment, Carl decided to quit the game and proceeded to walk back to the lake house. After walking away from Matt and Joel and yelling “f--k,” he aggressively picked up his travel backpack a little too fast. The swift act resulted in Carl dislocating his shoulder and knee, causing him to forfeit the competition.

Thankfully, in a reply to a viewer's tweet in June 2022, Carl confirmed he's "better."
