He practically grew up with the show and now Marysville native Michael Jefferson is living his mom’s dream as a cast member on CBS’ Survivor season 24.

According to the Everett Herald, Jefferson spent last summer filming at a beach in Samoa. He’s part of the all male tribe Manono competing for $1 million and the title ‘Survivor.’

Jefferson, a 2000 graduate of Marysville-Pilchuck High School, is no stranger to the spotlight. He was named Cosmopolitan magazine’s most datable bachelor in Washington state in 2010.

While he wanted to play a clean game, Jefferson told The Herald he ended up being considered this season’s villain.

According to his bio, Jefferson applied to be on the show because Survivor is his mom’s favorite show and she thinks he has a real shot at winning.

Survivor season 24 premieres Wednesday Feb. 15 at 8:00 p.m.
