Local man starring in reality TV show

If you haven't seen the CW's "13, Fear is Real" show yet, you may want to tune in tonight. Victoria native and 2001 Memorial High School graduate, Rodney Craft, is among the cast of 13 that are pitted against their worst fears.

Each week, a "victim" is killed off the show with the last man (or woman) standing receiving a nice, healthy check of $66,666 (Ha! Get it?). Although sadly, Rodney is remaining tight-lipped about who actually won.

In a recent interview with Rodney, he said it was quite by accident how he ended up on the show. Now living in L.A., he was approached by an agent while eating at a restaurant, which led to a meeting of CW's president and as they say, the rest is history.

A full feature article on Rodney and the show written by yours truly will run next Friday in the Advocate's M3 section, so (WARNING! WARNING! Shameless self-promotion ahead!) be sure to check it out.

Until then, you can catch the show's fourth episode, which airs tonight at 8 p.m. (central time) on the CW channel (local channel 10).
