Hi Eliza. Not that I'd imagine law professionals or New Yorkers in general to get too starry eyed about anything, but have your appearances on Survivor been a hindrance at all in your law career? Is it harder to be taken seriously? Do people typically ask a lot of questions about it, or is it basically a non-issue?
Thanks!

I have not found it to be a hindrance to my legal career. If anything, it is something interesting to discuss during interviews. It makes me unique and interesting. It's pretty much a non-issue, although I was observing a trial last week and one of the jurors came up to me in the elevator and said he was sorry if he had been staring at me, but he was a HUGE survivor fan. The attorneys I was with didn't even know I was on the show, so I had to do a little bit of explaining, but it was no big deal.

Eliza, Thanks for an incredible job of clearing up many Survivor mysteries. Here are a few questions I still have:

1.When you go off to do a confessional, how many SEG crew are observing? For example, 2--the camera man and one producer, etc or more?fewer?

2. When you say "producer" on the island, does that mean the big wigs like Mark Burnett and Charlie Parsons, or is it really an assistant producer who could be different every time?

3. In the voting area at TC, what are you looking at? Just a camera? One person holding a camera? Several people--if so, what roles do they play?

4. When you are asked a question off camera and must respond to it on camera, are you coached in how to answer? For example, give complete sentences so the viewer understands what the off camera question was. If so, is there a name for that procedure?

5. If there is a challenge involving correspondence from home, and you lose, and thus do not get to view your own correspondence, may you view it after being voted off, like at Ponderosa?

6. How many SEG crew stay on your tribe's island near your camp? What roles do they have? (camera man, nurse, psychologist, etc)

Inquiring minds want to know!!

1.When we go off to do our interviews, generally there is one camera crew (which consists of 3 people: camera guy, sound guy, lighting guy), as well as one producer. So usually 4 people.

2. When we say "producer" on the island, we are referring usually to segment producers and NOT Mark Burnett and Charlie Parsons.

3. In the voting area at TC, we look at a camera. There are usually a few people back there except at final tribal, when it's JUST a camera, no people.

4. When we are asked a question off camera it only makes sense to repeat it back in a full sentence, so the viewer understands what the off camera question was. There is no name for it. I think I usually call it "common sense."

5. Yes, I got my letters from home at Ponderosa.

6. I really don't know how many people are near camp. We see the camera crews, and the doctors don't stay near us and it usually would take them about an hour or so to get to us if we needed them.

They don't do confessionals. They do interviews. The producers sit them down and ask pre-prepared questions. There is no such thing as a Survivor confessional, the players aren't supposed to even talk to the cameramen.

This is only somewhat accurate. If you have something to say that you feel wasn't asked in a confessional or something comes up that you want to talk about, you can set up a confessional with the producers. You tell them you want to talk to them and then you can speak whatever is on your mind. The usual format is question and answer but it's not the only format. Also, they give you an opportunity at the end of the Q&A to say anything they missed.

Hey Eliza,
Is this your first ever internet restraining order?

Is it legal? Or is this part of a class project in college?

Kathy, I'm actually in law school...and six months from graduating. It's not a restraining order until I bring it before the court, but now at least I have documentation of asking LG never to contact me again.
