Kyle Fraser Is a Lawyer
Kyle works as a litigator but was a teacher in the past, which helped his approach on Survivor. During a February 2025 interview with Parade, Kyle reflected on working at a juvenile detention center.
“It was a charter school attached to a juvenile detention center, and they were able to earn credits in money, so when they get released, they would have something to go out into the world. And that was a really hard experience,” Kyle explained to the outlet. “Learning when you’re in a juvenile detention center, I couldn’t imagine. Learning was hard enough for me as a kid in school.”
Kyle elaborated that “trying to connect with [the students] when they’re trying to figure out, ‘When the hell am I gonna get out of jail?’ was really hard. But I figured out a way to do it in different circumstances. …. Some days were really, really hard and painful to see what they’re going through, painful to sort of try and connect with them. But you’ve got to keep on pushing. And I feel like I kind of have to have that same mentality in Survivor.”
Since Kyle is an attorney, he’s used to keep information confidential, which helped him on Survivor. During his Parade interview, Kyle said that he’s “good at keeping a secret” while noting that the show is all about the people around him.
“You can’t just come out here and be like, ‘I want to make this move.’ You need people as a foundation,” he explained. “These aren’t just pieces or cards. You’ve got to be able to sort of build a foundation before you can play. But that said, I’m good at keeping a secret. I’m a lawyer; I have to keep clients’ information confidential. There are certain part of parts of my life that I just don’t feel comfortable sharing with people, and I’m totally cool not blurting out.”
