What does it take to be a Survivor?
A Harvard Law School student, Nick Brown, will have the chance to see whether cunning and intelligence are the most important skills.
Brown, 23, has been chosen as a contestant for the second installment of the wildly popular reality show on CBS.
Brown, a San Francisco native, was a member of ROTC and is currently an officer in the U.S. Army, a biographical sketch provided by CBS said.
He is a second-year law student member of the Black Law Students Association, according to the CBS biography.
CBS Publicist Michelle Hooper said contestants are forbidden from giving interviews before the show airs.
She declined comment on Brown or the selection process. But the Survivor application says that excellent physical and mental health are required; all 48 semi-finalists underwent psychological testing to ensure their mental fitness in addition to physical examinations.
The application asks questions from the expected to the more unusual, such as inquiries about body art or what topics of conversation are considered off-limits at the dinner table.
