This is Coach Benjamin Wade's third nomination and first win for the best reality competition contestant of the season.  Coach was nominated for the honor back in 2009 and 2010 for his work on Survivor.  Here to discuss Coach's prowess is Poolie voter, Tyson.
____________________________________

Coach Wade: How could you not love the dragon slayer? A man who was fired for telling the school where he coached women’s soccer that he would be gone for a week and then took two months off to go on Survivor.

A man who claims to have set the world record for the longest solo kayak expedition on the ocean (an amazing 6,132 miles) despite the fact that current record holder Paul Caffyn kayaked more than 9,000 miles in 1980 and 1981, 30 years before Coach claimed the record.

A man who claims to have overcome a ruthless attack by Amazon pygmies.

The one consistent aspect of Coach’s character is that he lies. A lot. Normally, people don’t like liars but when someone is this disconnected from reality it doesn’t feel like lying anymore, it feels like storytelling and everyone loves a good story. I, for one, hope Coach keeps telling them.
