When Blake Jeffers submitted a video entry to become the next Travel Channel Star, he didn’t really expect to get a call saying he actually was in the running for the job. But from more than 1,000 entries nationwide, the Metter High School biology teacher, first was named as one of the 15 finalists for the grand prize. Now, the Georgia Southern University graduate just learned he was selected as one of the final two contestants.
