‘Survivor 48’ winner Kyle Fraser defends his decision to never vote out Joe Hunter
May 23, 2025
Kyle Fraser is feeling like a million bucks.
The 31-year-old attorney exclusively spoke to The Post about winning “Survivor 48” and defended his decision to never betray his alliance with Joe Hunter — despite the 45-year-old fire captain being the apparent biggest threat all season.
“I felt like that final tribal council was me owning my game and being like, no, no, no, look at what I did,” Fraser explained. “When I got to the merge I had just played an idol. I was in the majority alliance. I won the challenges. My threat meter was off the roof and I’ve just seen players like Kaleb get popped, like in my archetype. So I don’t wanna do anything.”
“People are telling me like, ‘Hey, we can all go to the end together.’ Yeah, sure. I was really patient and kind of fine until people started telling me, ‘Hey, Joe’s going to run away with this game.’ And I’m like, ‘What the hell? What more do you need from me?'” he continued. “But I’m glad they told me that because I just knew I had to give them one more notch.”

Fraser explained that he intentionally “played both sides” and acted patiently instead of making a big move for the benefit of others.
“I kind have used the analogy of I told everybody, ‘Get in the Trojan horse, come on.’ And then I’m the guy at the gate. I promise I’ll open it for you. But it’ll be tomorrow. And then it’ll be tomorrow, and then I make a move when I need to, but it’s at my discretion. Because I’m not going to let anybody make me the biggest threat out there just because I made a big move to do it. Next thing you know, I’m going home at five because I’m, like, the threat of the season. Absolutely not. I wanted to go with the end and I wanted to plead my case.”
