Committing
to
expose
yourself
to
both
the
elements
and
Jeff
Probst
for
weeks
and
yet
we
all
know
that
Biglaw
is
still
more
dehumanizing.
That’s
the
takeaway
from
this
this
interview
with
upcoming
contestant
Kyle
Fraser,
an
attorney
from
Virginia
who
was
asked
by
Entertainment
Weekly
to
decide
on
a
brutal
punishment
for
themselves
if
they
end
up
being
voted
out
first.
While
some
promised
to
give
up
weed
for
two
years
or
stop
watching
Survivor
(sounds
like
a
reward
to
me),
Fraser
knew
the
unspeakable
horror
he’d
subject
himself
to
if
the
castaways
boot
him
first:
I
have
done
white
collar
criminal
defense
at
larger
firms,
which
I
very
much
enjoyed,
but
I
want
to
eventually
segue
to
more
of
a
public
interest
job.
My
fiancée
has
given
me
this
leeway,
and
my
expectation
is
to
bring
home
the
gold
on Survivor.
That
said,
if
I
get
voted
out
first
and
I
don’t
get
that
gold,
then
I’m
working
at
a
big
law
firm.
That’s
my
punishment.
I
know
that’s
really
lame
and
corny,
but
I’m
going
to
go
make
the
big
bucks.
I’m
going
to
give
myself
a
little
bit
of
license
to
not
try
and
save
the
world
just
yet.
I’m
going
to
go
grind
it
out
at
a
law
firm
and
try
and
make
the
big
bucks.
That’s
my
punishment.
Any
lawyer
knows
that
that’s
a
pretty
difficult
thing
to
do.
Some
EW
reader
will
confront
you
as
their
lawyer
friend
and
sneer
that
“his
PUNISHMENT
is
making
more
money”
and
you
will
be
magically
transported
to
that
jungle
and
go
full
Colonel
Kurtz
softly
repeating,
“the
horror…
the
horror….”
Good
luck,
Kyle.
All
the
snake
bites
and
malnourishment
is
worth
it.
