Ok, on another board I belong to for Aussies in the US, one of our members is a journalist, and posted how she is at work tonite doing an article on Gabe...Here is what she wrote..

LOL all of you! :) And Deb, not sure about the gay thing, didn't ask! I just got off the phone with his twin sister, Emily though. She lives here in Asheville. :)
She told me he HAS done all that stuff. Apparently he almost didn't make it onto the show (he apparently had applied for the show before), but in the end the producers asked Gabriel to PROVE that he had done that stuff - like you, they had their doubts because he's only 23! Well, apparently he proved it (with tickets, whatever he could, etc.), according to Emily. :)
I will be talking to his mother after 8 p.m. (she's still at work now). Unfortunately I can't get all that info. into my story, but we'll squeeze in what we can (they've only alloted me 8 inches for the story but it's going on the front page. :)). Deb, late tonight you should be able to read it at www.CITIZEN-TIMES.com
I've used a lot of the info. in his bio. I can't get a hold of him at the moment because he's apparently at a monestary with his Dad right now and Emily has no idea how to contact them!! Perhaps his mum will though...we'll see what she says. :)
and some more of what she told me...

wonder if that's what the producers told the family to say..."at a monestary with my Dad and have no idea how to contact them at the moment..." :))

SURE they are, is all I can say. :)) Again, I'll has his mother when she calls me back later. :)


Hope this clears up a bit of stuff for everyone wondering like I did...

I was a bit skeptical too but that great!
That's cool that you got to talk to Emily.

That is amazing! I hate to be skeptical about people.
(I might not call that school in Sarasota, even if it is just north of me)

We'll see. Wouldn't be the first time the press was fed a spoiler to promote the show.

Gabe will be entertaining...that is what he does. Will Kirby was entertaining too... he created a character and played it for 3 months. Gabe only has to stay in character for 39 days.

I'm still skeptical

Ok here is what my friend wrote about Gabe's Mom:

Ok, well according to Mrs. Cabe, a VERY proud mother who loves talking about her 3 children :))...Gabriel really IS at a monestory (sp??) with her husband. She said they filmed 'Survivor' in December, and Gabriel has been home for ages. (He's trying to become an actor in Hollywood, but he stayed here in NC for a long visit :)). She said that her husband goes on some kind of annual retreats in Kentucky, and since Gabriel signed a contract to keep quiet about everything to everyone, he decided to go with his dad this time - there is no talking at this retreat apparently - so it was the best way to keep quiet!! A good idea, I reckon! :)
Also, re: the being 23 and having done all that stuff at his age. His mum said the producers told Gabriel that if he was lying about that stuff they would ensure he would NEVER EVER work for CBS if he actually made it as an actor and all that kind of stuff. Apparently he called his mum and asked her to fax a bunch of 'proof' he had in his room that even she didn't know about! She said she found a file folder with tickets, papers from the schools he has taught at, all kinds of souveniors that she never knew he kept.
Anyway...must get back to work!!! :) Just thought I'd fill you 'Survivor' addicts in. :)

Thanks Deb for finding all that out. It just seemed unbelievable at his age. (Especially having that connection with Mike)

Here is the article that Jodie (an Aussie ) wrote, which was what she was referring to in the posts I put above..


Mitchell County native makes "Survivor" cast

By Jodie Munro O'Brien
POSTED: Feb. 7, 2002 9:18 p.m.

CELO - Gabriel Cade of Celo has been voted onto the island.

The 23-year-old Mitchell County native made the cut for the latest installment of the popular reality television show "Survivor," where he'll compete with 15 others trying to survive for seven weeks on Nuku Hiva, a distant neighbor of Tahiti in the Marquesas in the French Polynesia territories.

Cade's twin sister Emily, who lives in Asheville, said her brother was "unbelievably excited" to have been chosen for the show. "He had been trying to get on the show for a while," she said. "And he has always been the outdoors type."

Cade was born and raised in Celo and attended Mitchell County High School, where he was a competitive figure skater for his first two years, a member of a singing quartet and part of a symphony orchestra. He has played classical cello since he was 7 years old.

Cade transferred to the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics for his junior and senior year. He has also studied jazz and ballet and spent two summers volunteering for World Changers, an organization that assists in building homes for impoverished individuals. Cade has studied at the University of North Carolina and UNC Asheville where he was pursuing a double major in biology and drama with a double minor in English and French.

Cade now lives in Hollywood, Calif. where he works as a bartender and also serves as a personal chauffeur while he tries to become an actor. He has worked in various disciplines, including leading adventures for students, coaching soccer, teaching ballroom dancing, writing for a national college newspaper, teaching a Scholastic Aptitude Test math prep course and he has also taught English in France. He is fluent in French.

Emily Cade said Gabriel Cade had to prove to the producers that he had accomplished all he said he had in his short lifetime. "He had to show them things like his tickets to prove he had done so much since he is only 23," she said.

"Survivor" tests the physical limits of players while also forcing the group to vote one player off the island each week. With no food or water provided this time, everyone must work together while also attempting to (as the show's motto states) "outwit, outplay and outlast" the others to become the ultimate survivor. Each contestant is allowed to take one "luxury item" with them, and Cade chose to take his childhood teddy bear

The monastery sounds like Gethsemane here in KY--most notable as the former "home " of Thomas Merton.

If he IS at a monastery that is very smart, since he is legally not allowed to communicate with the public about the game til he is voted off... this puts him totally out of touch. Smart move.

Ya I agree, it's one way of keeping the media away from him etc...and the fans from knowing too much or being able to figure out if he lost weight etc..

Thanks for all the info Deb. I too hate to be skeptical about a person- and I wasn't about Gabe, til I learned of the Mike connection. Now I am back to my trusting self and can't wait to see what Gabe is like on the show:)
