Sharron Townsend of Camden is one of just three original contestants hailing from the United States — others come from the U.K., Australia, Ireland and Canada.
The eight-episode series made its way to Netflix April 17 and was trending at No. 2 as of Sunday night.
The show was inspired by an episode of Seinfeld — "The Contest" — according to creator Laura Gibson and developer Charlie Bennett.
Townsend was born and raised in Camden before relocating to Hersey, Pennsylvania for high school. In 2017, he appeared on an episode of ‘Undressed,’ an MTV series where two strangers go on a blind date and get undressed while asking personal questions.
