Despite searching the Internet and contacting CBS' New York headquarters directly, she was unable to find information on how to apply, and quickly gave up her quest. About a month later, claiming to have received a sign from God, she resumed her search and found the application information that she needed at CBS' own Web site. Shortly thereafter, she was cast on Survivor: Marquesas, the series' fourth season.
