other tribal members in the
"Outcast" show to win the grand
prize -- a trip to the Bahamas. |
TITUSVILLE,
April 26 -- Students
at the University of Pittsburgh at Titusville
recently participated in “Outcast” – the
campus version of the television “Survivor”
game show.
This original college survival game show
was created by the Auborn Moon Agency in
Landenberg, Pennsylvania.
Members of the Agency visit colleges
around the country and serve as the hosts of the
“Outcast” show.
Over
80 students attended this special event
sponsored by the UPT Student Activities Board on
Tuesday, April 10.
The evening was filled challenges,
trivia, tribes and audience participation.
Although 39 students signed up to serve
as contestants, only 12 names were randomly
drawn by the Auborn Moon Agency host. As tribal members, those 12 students tried to out-think,
out-smart and out-last each other.
The
tribal members were:
Alex Cottrell, Melissa Courier, Lynnea
Griffin, Kenton Hockett, Patricia Jeffers,
Justin Johnson, Sharmaine Lindsay, Shanna Ritts,
John Shelton, Yancy Speed, Doug Stanley, and
Kristin Wright.
The host of the
show presented a variety of challenges to each
of the contestants.
The remaining members of the audience
eventually voted 11 of the tribal members
“off-campus,” or out of the “Outcast”
show based on their performance of the required
challenge.
“The
contestants seemed to have a really good time
acting like idiots,” said Ebony Roberts, a UPT
sophomore from Coatesville and an audience
member, “and we (the audience) had fun voting
them out.”
When
asked to name the most interesting challenge
assigned to a tribal member, Roberts said,
“When Kenton Hockett had to rub SPAM all over
his body.”
The
surviving member of the “Outcast” tribe,
sophomore Patricia Jeffers from Washington,
D.C., won the grand prize – a trip to the
Bahamas.
