UD senior is first CW star

The search started in January with two location auditions. The contestants were then narrowed down to nine finalists and 25 semi-finalists. The tenth finalist was selected via web votes. Over the past few weeks, the Top 10 finalists performed different tasks including a promotion shoot, attendance at community events, an interview with 2 NEWS anchor Pam Elliot, and a final interview with WBDT-TV management.
Emily was selected, according to the station’s brand manager Shasta Scarberry, because of her “charisma and style.”
