Survivor’s COACH

I recently connected with COACH from Survivor about a new project.

Benjamin “Coach” Wade (born September 18, 1971(1971-09-18))^[1][2] is an American reality television personality best known for being a contestant on Survivor: Tocantins and Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains. Born in Bolivar, Missouri, he later moved to Susanville, California, to conduct the Susanville Symphony^[3] and pursue “adventures” in Hollywood.^[4]

Wade was selected to participate on Survivor: Tocantins in 2009. He is recognized as the main antagonist of this season, however Jeff Probst has gone on record saying he doesn’t feel like Wade did anything to earn this reputation. Being one of the most controversial characters to ever play the game,^[10] he made it to a 5th place finish. He gave nicknames to his fellow tribemates: J.T., the “warrior”, Stephen Fishbach, the “wizard”, and himself, the “Dragon Slayer”.^[11] Coach was perhaps most famous for telling stories of adventure from his previous exploits as a professional kayaker.^[12]
