Former Goldie's Survivor Champion Michael Woosley Releases New Song [Video]

Chadwick Benefield — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:00:29 +0000

Here at WBKR, we get asked all the time about Goldie's Survivor, our long-running talent contest at Goldie's. It was a blend of Survivor and American Idol and hundreds of folks each year battled to try and make the 10-week finals. The contest was basically reality television on stage and the show sold out virtually every week due to equal parts of talent and on-stage drama. We often get asked how our former champions are doing. Season Two champion Teresa Cook continues to make fans as Kizzy. Season Three champion Shannon Sellers lives in Nashville now. Season Five champion Rollie Pike later went on to win the Battle for The Big O and is with us each year for our St. Jude Radiothon. And, now, we're hearing from Season 6 champion Michael Woosley, who just released a new duet called "Watch Me." Check it out!

If you tune into The WBKR Waking Crew each weekday morning, you have likely heard our friend Kizzy chatting about all of her favorite foods: pork rinds, Spam, cured meats, pickled pig's feet, bacon and, of course, chicken. Or should we say "chickren." And I thought of Kizzy immediately when I stumbled across this video on YouTube.

Replacement Refs — What Does Kizzy Think?

Last night, Russell Wilson threw a disputed 24-yard touchdown pass to Golden Tate on the final play of the game, allowing the Seattle Seahawks to beat the Green Bay Packers, 14-12, in Seattle. Seattle (2-1) registered the game-winning score only after a long official review declined to overturn the touchdown ruling on the field.
