I have wanted to compete on Survivor since I first watched Elisabeth Filarski jump off that cliff in the Australian Outback. Now that it’s happening (!!!), I keep reminding myself that the show is for money and not just an adventure. I want a behind-the-scenes look at the show I love, and I want to test my mind, body, and social prowess. The opportunity to graduate law school with zero debt is a bonus.
— Molly Byman, a second-year student at Duke Law, explaining her motivations for becoming a castmember on Survivor: Island of the Idols. Some of Byman’s pet peeves include “[b]eing unwantedly touched,” “slow talkers,” and “rule-breakers.” Best of luck on the show!
