Survivor's Kyle Fraser Details Argument With Jeff Probst Over Injury

“I would've stayed and gone for as long as possible,” Kyle emphasized. “Even when the doctor was doing that test, I was trying to wiggle my toes because he was explaining the test to Jeff and I thought maybe that would get me out of it.”

When Jeff ultimately made the call to remove Kyle from the island, it brought the contestant to tears—but he has since come around on it being the right decision, adding, “It was clear that I needed to go.”

Indeed, following his departure from Fiji, Kyle had to undergo surgery to address his injury, and he’s still in recovery. 

“I'm running [as of] three weeks ago so we're still recovering,” Kyle shared during an interview on CBS Mornings Feb. 26. “So, we're on the up and up.”

Nevertheless, the entire ordeal has been “heartbreaking.”

“It’s tough, because two weeks earlier, I won,” he noted. “The whole world got to see me win a million dollars and then to tear your Achilles two weeks later—and know that I get pulled from the game only four days in.” 

Despite the disappointing end for him, he was happy to return home to his wife Maggie Turner, whom he married in 2024, ahead of them welcoming a baby. 

“My wife is happy,” he added. “Daughter coming in May!”
