Richmond attorney competes on Fox's "The Snake"
Local attorney Amanda Short is one of 15 contestants on " The Snake," a new reality show that debuted this week on Fox.
Why it matters: Short is competing to be named the final "Snake" ... and take home $100,000.
State of play: The show pits (pun intended) 15 "master manipulators" against each other in what Fox describes as a "social survival of the fittest."
Each week, the contestants must form alliances and figure out their competitors' true motivations to survive the "saving ceremony."
"It's not about who wants you gone, but who is willing to save you," according to the network.
To execute the premise, Fox rounded up a group of people from .... er, diverse professions.
Short is " The Lawyer" and is, in fact, an associate attorney at Richmond firm Moran Reeves and Conn.
She's up against an Indianapolis Colts cheerleader, a Miami-based OnlyFans creator, an Oklahoma City bounty hunter, a Florida cop, a pastor from California and a half dozen others that may or may not include a bull rider.
And only one of them can be "The Snake."

‘Ed the Zebra' mural painted in Nashville
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – Ed the Zebra has garnered national attention over the last week and a half. Now he's immortalized on a Nashville art piece. The artist who goes only by 'Bandit' is a Los Angeles-based artist. He painted the zebra on a wall along 8th and Edgehill Avenue, if you want to go check it out yourself. 'Bandit' is a traveling artist who does a lot of research on what is going on in cities before he shows up. He usually paints politically motivated murals, but saw that Ed the Zebra was creating a ton of buzz in Nashville so this time he switched it up to something lighthearted. 'Ed the Zebra' captured after 8 days on the loose in TN 'Bandit' says the children in the painting are meant to represent the child-like joy the zebra chase gave to Tennesseans. 'Just showing how we're a bunch of kids chasing animals all the time, it seems like. It seemed like a rat race to catch this zebra. Children always add a humorous, satirical feel to the work as well.' The artist says he did not get permission to paint this mural. News 2 did reach out to the property owner, Graybar Electric Co., and they said they do not mind that the new mural is there. Do you have news happening in your neighborhood?

Shaboozey and Miami's Largest Ever Drone Show Shine Bright at FOX Sports' 2026 World Cup Countdown Party
FOX held a spectacular event to celebrate being one year out from the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Miami's South Beach on Friday night. The party was headlined by a performance from country artist Shaboozey and the largest drone show in Miami history. The drones flew through the air and created a number of formations, while the artist performed two songs -- including his hit "A Bar Song (Tipsy)." Here are the best shots: With Shaboozey hyping up the crowd, the drones formed the letters "USA" along with some stars and red, white, and blue lining. The drones then aligned to create the tournament's official logo for 2026. A silhouette of the trophy outlined by brightly-lit and dazzling drones. And finally, the coveted FIFA World Cup trophy illuminating the sky above South Beach, with FIFA president Gianni Infantino taking in the sights and sounds.

IShowSpeed Predicts Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal Will Win The 2026 World Cup
Is 2026 the year Cristiano Ronaldo finally wins the World Cup? That's what YouTube star and content creator IShowSpeed thinks. "Speed" made an appearance at FOX's one-year out from the 2026 FIFA World Cup event in Miami on Saturday. FOX Sports' Clarissa Thompson interviewed him, asking him questions about his excitement that North America will host the World Cup, which games he plans to attend, and who he thinks will bring home the trophy. Smiling ear to ear, Speed seemed like he wanted to fast-forward through next year as quickly as possible. "It's that time," he said. "The World Cup is here. It's that time." He's already made plans to be at as many games as possible. "The World Cup is in America, right? So, I can be anywhere," Speed said. "Obviously, I'm pulling up to every game, every Portugal game." Speed's fandom for Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo is public knowledge. He even sported his jersey in the Dick's sporting goods ad he's featured in. Now, he'll be able to watch his idol in person, in his home country. And, better yet, Speed's confident Ronaldo and Portugal will win the whole thing. "I truly believe that Cristiano Ronaldo is going to win the 2026 World Cup," Speed said. "Y'all heard it from me, IShowSpeed. Ronaldo is winning the 2026 World Cup. He just won the Nations League. That's just an appetizer; the World Cup is the real meal, and they've got it. Portugal's squad is looking good." Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
