An IUP graduate has the chance to appear on a popular CBS reality program.
Jeff Troxell, a 1982 IUP safety sciences graduate, is a top-10 finalist in the casting call for “Survivor,” according to his brother, Greg Troxell.
“He has been working his tail off for 10 years,” Troxell said.
He said that Jeff was “ecstatic” when he heard about making the top 10.
“I was very excited for him,” Troxell said.
He said that Jeff has made it this far two other times, but has not been selected to appear on the island. Troxell said that if Jeff wins, he would then go to California to go against 50 competitors. He said the final 16 are chosen to be on the island.
Troxell said that the 50 competitors are chosen through votes from the fans, who can vote by visiting the CBS Web site and clicking Jeff’s page on the “Survivor” Web site.
He said to enter the word “verification” and click the red link at the left of the page.
Troxell said people are able to vote as many times as they would like to on the first day. He said voting is limited to five times per day after that.
Voting ends on Friday.
Troxell said they are using social media, such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, to get the message out.
“We are doing what we can,” Troxell said.
