Cool competitor.

As founder and CEO of Three Twins Ice Cream, Neal Gottlieb '99 has risen to the top of the organic ice cream business. On the 32nd season of Survivor, shown this spring on CBS, he vied to keep his cool through the most punishing conditions in the show's history. A member of the Brains tribe, Gottlieb and 17 other castaways began the season competing for a $1 million prize on the remote Cambodian island of Kaoh Rong. Gottlieb, who majored in consumer economics and housing (now policy analysis and management), was ultimately forced off the island due to injuries, though the ice cream boss showed he had the right blend of guts and guile to make it far.
