Immunity Island bio Official SurvivorSA: Immunity Island bio, from News24.com (5/2/21):
"Lawyer Mike Laws (32) from Cape Town, calls himself 'a classic city slicker. I'm a corporate law geek with anxiety issues, strong opinions and a big heart.' He entered this season 'to see if a neurotic, city-slicker, white-collar geek could crack it in the wild' and prepared by learning to tie knots – although he declares himself 'useless' at it."
