Listen to this one, folks. It’s the one you’ve been waiting for. If you don’t listen to any other interview, ever, listen to this one. It’s hilarious. I must say that I had to put my hand over my mouth multiple time, so no one would hear me laughing during this one.
Coach explains how [...]
This morning, I talked to Survivor Tocantins biggest character, Ben Wade, known on the show as Coach. He was by far the most entertaining and controversial player, and I was glad to finally be able to talk with him and challenge him on what we saw. He was friendly and even occasionally humble as he [...]
Speaking of the three-hour finale, we’re apparently headed for a final two for the first time in many seasons, since Probst said there would be three Tribal Councils, and just four people remain. It’s pretty clear that JT and Stephen will be the final two, and JT has the win wrapped up—although since it was [...]
Jeff says that it is down to the final two, the old warrior and the young buck, the talker and the quiet one. Jeff reminds Coach that this is how he wanted it, a battle between the best and he is getting it today. Jeff asks JT and Coach if he brought out a steak [...]

Coach is selected to go into exile, and naturally, he uses the opportunity to make a passive-aggressive martyr out of himself. Erinn calls him on it, and he goes on a tirade about what awful shape he’s in, and how he’s disappointed in Erinn. Just shut up and go away, loser.

We’re getting down to the wire for this season of Survivor. The big three-hour finale and reunion show airs this coming Sunday. Of the five going into tonight’s show, I think I would have only predicted JT be there at the beginning of the season. Stephen, the intellectual kind of nerdy guy? No [...]

Now that the competition is down to a handful of contestants, we’re going to look (briefly) at each of their performances in Thursday night’s episode:
Benjamin “Coach” Wade: Just when you think Coach can’t become any better TV than he’s already become, he blows you away with his endless [...]
EXILE ISLAND - Day 35
Coach lays in the stream with his head on the bank and speaks of two whole days with no food, no sleep, and little water - he says it’s a great experience, testing himself. He says he’s walking a bit slower now because his asthma is acting up, but he’s not [...]

No sense in burying the lead. It finally happened. You all got your wish….
…Coach is gone.
You’ve been complaining about him for weeks on end. The universal energy you all put out there to get rid of him worked.
Now be honest… are you truly happy? Is life better now?
Or do you think you [...]

At long last, the annoying dragon slayer, Coach, is sent home.
The five finalists had to test their endurance by propping themselves up in this structure. Coach couldn’t win immunity, and thus was voted out.
The tribe has spoken: Self-proclaimed “dragon slayer” Ben “Coach” Wade was voted out, having been backstabbed by a member [...]
Coming back from the tribal that snuffed Debbie’s flame, Coach makes it clear that he is surprised. J.T. and Stephen tell Coach that the person who voted for him was indeed Debbie. This is smart - it keeps Coach from getting angry, and makes it seem like J.T. and Stephen came to his [...]

THE SLAYED DRAGONSLAYER
After all his big talk, Coach spouted a lovely poem at the end and then walked out of Tribal Council
It’s been a nasty three days for my idea of TV ”villains” — first Gokey, and now Coach. If only Ben would have taken a knife to the chest instead of [...]

While Stephen and J.T. were off having a “meat festival,” Coach was busy catching up with himself in exile.
That all sounds gross, so let us explain: The Survivor: Tocantins ringleaders got to enjoy a night away and a Brazilian feast thanks to J.T.’s reward challenge win, and Coach took the “monastic approach” [...]

After spending most of the episode jabbering and breaking down, Bejnamin Wade, perhaps the nuttiest character ever on “Survivor” got voted out.
Coach, as he was called on the show, also called himself Dragon Slayer, which nobody else ever did until maybe this week. But they had been in the Brazilian jungle for 39 [...]

Coach had one final thing to say when he left the show tonight. “My heart is filled with sadness.” Well, sweet prince, we do so very much feel your pain.
I’ve had a blast watching Coach play the game. Yeah, there’s a certain Randy, Sandy, Ace, “What the hell?” kind of humor to [...]
When it came time for the reward challenge, the competitors had to walk through a maze with their feet shackled together and then hit three targets. JT handily won an overnight trip to the Governor’s retreat, and chose to bring Stephen with him. Despite Coach’s pleas to send one of the women to Exile, it [...]

The “evil wizard” destroyed poor innocent Don Quixote, the martyred Dragon Slayer. No more poems.
Bless his heart, Benjamin Wade, who called himself Coach before calling himself Dragon Slayer, before telling his assistant coach that “everyone” called him Dragon Slayer, was slain.
By the man he thought was the “white wizard” but was really [...]

Survivor: Tocantins Episode 13 Recap (live blog)
D’oh - the lack of a wireless router at my parents’ house has left me using TextEdit again and keeping this from being a truly live blog. But it is being written live, for whatever that’s worth.
7:00: “I know I’m a dangerous player in this game.” A [...]
