What Naja just said: LOL!!!! I think he has watched Highlander too many times. Fantasy novels are obviously his first choice of reading material. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but you shouldn't let them take over your personality - not that he has one. I agree with Denicee, I was happy Erinn called him out. Even before he opened his mouth back at camp I knew he would go on and on about some kind of ailment. If he is such a warrior, he wouldn't have said anything. The man is a pompous arse.

Thanks, Naja, I voted for JT, I am just afraid he is somehow going to get voted off. He should be the winner, IMO (he is strong, personable, honorable and loyal), and that doesn't happen very often.

I still don't get this "Fan fav can't be the winner" idea. It is NOT a who deserves, in whoever's opinion, some extra $. It is for a cast member who people have enjoyed for whatever reasons. I loved that Bob won both last time. No conditions.

Oh, in the article coach said something about being fired, was he fired from his current jobs?

Dipo, he was fired from his soccer coaching job because he didn't tell them where he was going.

He wasn't honest? I thought that was so important to him.

i finally just watched last night's show. it took me way too long to watch since i would go back to hear what coach said over and over. before last night, i would mute coach at times. if the finale wasn't sunday, i may have had to take back my wish for him to be voted out all these weeks. off now to check out spear's link.

I looked it up and Benjamin Wade broke a kayaking record paddling from California to Honduras in 1997. He was 25 at the time.

Somebody on another message board (am I allowed to mention that here?) debunked a ton of stuff that Coach has said, including a lot of the stuff on his and his brother's website. It was pretty funny. Like that martial arts thing he mentioned that "if you google it, you won't find it because it's only passed down verbally". It apparently came from a novel (fiction) and is completely made up.

It isn't the kayaking record that has people scratching their heads, Dogdoc....I think it's the things like being captured cannibals and escaping before they ate him.

I just really feel sorry for Coach at this point. I think his heart is in the right place. I have a feeling he was outsider his whole life and ppl always made fun of him. He probably never got approval or 'great job!' from his parents so he seeks it in others, or by just boasting about himself. He reminds me of a person at work that has no people skills at all, no one likes that person, many mock that person, I am one of the few that even talk to person.

If I had not seen him belittle Sierra so much, I might feel the same way. But he was terrible to her.

Well, at least on thing was true, the kayaking. Benjamin looks a lot older than 37. I agree Pamy about feeling sorry for him. It must have hurt him to see himself laughed at. I do believe he embellished a lot of his stories.

For some reason Coach reminds me a little of Eric (Cappy) from big brother. I couldn't stand Cappy. Coach has more of a heart than Eric.

There's a book on Amazon.com that is purportedly by someone who found Benjamin Wade's "buried" journals on a cliffside in Columbia. Coincidentally, this book was just published in March of this year. The reviews are hilarious... almost no one believes the story, believes how the journals were "found". And there is no proof that he did what he said he did.

btw, I don't feel bad for feeling this way about Coach. If you go watch the 2 part video at the bottom of Jeff's blog, you will see Jeff can barely hold in his laughter, too! (About Coach's stories)
