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."
