KarolRiya is the femslash ship between Karol Jones and Riya Sharma from the Disventure Camp fandom.
Canon[]
Season 2[]

Watching Oliver leave
Karol and Riya were part of separate teams, and due to Karol's early elimination, they shared few interactions at first. Both arrive in back-to-back occassions to the camp, the actress being part of Team B and Karol Team A. During the first challenge, as Karol bikes to hand the team's flag to Oliver, he runs off leaving Riya alone with the other woman, the former in notable worriness since her team was being left behind by Karol's.

Approaching Riya
In 'Nightmare at Tipiskaw', Riya is the only one to believe out of her alliance that the murderings that had been happening around were real. When Riya, Rosa and Lake were cornered by the killer, the actress decides to sacrifice herself so her other two friends would escape from the murderer, as this latter approached her with an axe in hand, and when they grabbed her leg, Riya demands Rosa to run, for then being dragged inside the cabin as the clear stabbing sounds could be heard from afar, also worrying Lake who was already escaping.

Catching the actress
However it's revealed that the killer was in fact Karol and everything was just simulated, making her the winner of the challenge, being granted the opportunity to give inmunity to two people, and her final decision turns out to be Hunter and Ally.

Karol expressing her desire to know Riya better
In 'Sabotage Below Zero', Karol pulls Riya's arm once everyone left (except for James who decided to eavesdrop), and greets her, confessing that she would like to get to know her better since she never spoke to her, to which Riya accepts, empathizing with her about being left out, claiming that she wouldn't let that happen to Karol, the latter being very grateful to her words.

Karol doesn't think she was ever liked by James and Aiden
Upon telling Riya the reason she was voted out, Karol attempts to form an alliance with Riya by telling her about how she was treated unfairly by the Orange Team the first time she was eliminated. Riya is surprised to hear this since she seemed nice to her, and responds that she was also treated the same way by her team as well earlier in the game and the two bond over this. As the campers take a break, James confronts Karol outside the bathroom, knowing she's up to something because he overheard her conversing with Riya, but Karol questions who will believe him after what he did, and that he and Aiden will soon be leaving the camp. The second part of the challenge then begins: each camper must choose a pair and drag their sled to the top of the slope, carrying their partner. Karol is allowed to go alone as part of her prize, but she decides to go with Riya.

Riya surprised that a wolf was helping Karol in pulling the sled.
During the challenge, Riya is surprised as she questions Karol how is a wolf helping her with the [pulling], and the animal lover responds she fed it yesterday, and it was just returning the favor. Riya commends her kindness, Karol telling the same to her, and claims that they are not so different. The actress is confused at this and asks what did she mean with that, and Karol relates the two not fitting in this place, and although they seemed friendly to the two, in the end they're not a priority for them; sooner or later they'll just discard them. Finally, she asks Riya if she has noticed it too. In the confessional Karol mentions it not being very difficult convincing Riya, and mentions playing with her insecurity in her favor. Switching to Riya's, she agrees with Karol's statement, and she mustn't forget her goal. Once again Riya asks Kaorl why was she telling her this, and Karol responds that she wanted her to see the things as they really are, plus also to understand her.

Karol and Riya surpassed by Rosa María
Riya claims she does understand Karol, but is interrumpted by the other woman who says that if they can't walk out with great friends, they could at least try doing it with a million dollars. Rosa races by them, but her sled gets caught on a rock, so he hauls the sled over her head and runs to the top, winning the second part of the challenge. She gets two rewards: one is that she gets to choose her partner in the final part, and Rosa chooses Riya. In the final phase of the challenge, as Karol races past, the spider which was placed by Aiden on Oliver's hair, crawls onto the man's face, frightening him and causing him to crash the sled and falls on Karol, breaking her leg. Karol then starts to get up, only to find out she squashed the spider. In Riya's confessional, she questions about the dirty play that had been done earlier, and wonders if that's the only way to get far in the game.

Karol encouraging Riya
Riya is surprised at Kristal's announcement that there's still going to be another eliminated, mentioning 'apart from Karol'. Skipping to the final, in Money, Fame and Shame, Part 1, at the challenge area, Kristal welcomes back all the eliminated campers and asks them to take their seats and support their favorite finalists. Ally, Tess, Karol and Connor support Riya. Karol encourages Riya to give 'those cheaters' (James and Aiden) what they deserve.
All-Stars[]
In an interview done to Riya, she mentions to regret choosing Connor as a helper in the finals from the past season, and if she had chosen Yul or Karol she would have won.
Fanon[]
KarolRiya is considered a rarepair within the fandom despite the major interactions they had upon Karol's return to the game in the second season. A common reason is that Karol isn't a very relevant character in the series, and she was more like an antagonist in the plot, following Riya upon the reveal of her true colors. The only difference is that the actress managed to participate in All-Stars, whereas Karol didn't. Although they tend to be shipped due to their similarities (outright stated by Karol in canon), and also their mean nature on the outside. It's overshadowed by other Riya ships like ConRiya and recently Riyalec too. Due to the apparent only friendship Riya has with Karol, it's also a reason of why they're paired up together, since both are disliked by the contestants, finding a comfort place in each other.
