Hate Coach. Hate. He reminds me of a Steven Seagal wannabe, with the whole mystic Asian thing and the silk embroidered Chinese tunics and the stupid hair and the whole attitude. Hate him.
Asian? I thought it was more a Native American vibe, which he may be entitled to; did I miss something? I don’t mind the look per se, but it makes him appear puffed-up and self-important to me that he cultivates it. His appearance at Tribal, coat over his shoulder, a Sinatra figure sauntering toward the voting booth, was iconic in some sense, and posturing in any sense.
The tunic and embroidery looked Asian to me.
Oh, and this is required reading. The man’s a delusional douche…
Oh, and the whole “Candace gets in your face and catalogs your faults. I do, too, but I only do it to HELP people” thing is SO annoying.
Some of that story just has to be tongue-in-cheek:
Maybe Coach ends up as an iconically hated figure, ala Ami Cusack, and he thinks he can parley that into some other gig. Or he’s just yanking our chain, which seems somewhat likely.
Coach. Douche. Bag. Ugh.
I think Coach looks like a low budget magician.
Boo on voting out the big boobies, leaving smarmy douchebags like Coach to pollute future episodes. I agree without whomever pointed out the Candace’s offenses were trivial at most.
One thing that was said in confessional actually swayed me a bit. When the tribe was all talking about how it was Sierra’s turn, I was getting more and more annoyed. Didn’t they see how much she busted her ass at the challenge? Then one of the guys in the confessional pointed out, yeah, she tried her hardest, but even still was completely unable to do anything. That’s a fair point; I’m hoping she does better in the next challenge.
I think Candice’s biggest mistake was announcing she was going to get rid of Coach before she was actually willing to do it. If you want to get rid of someone, then get the necessary votes quietly and vote them off. Don’t go exposing your plans publically if you’re not willing to carry through immediately, otherwise you’re just making a big target of yourself. Not to mention that her trying to vote Sierra out instead made no sense. Sierra was one of the people she might actually have a shot at winning over against Coach.
Watch him pull a mouse out of his pants!
Well, any guy who prefers to be called by his job title, rather than his actual name, is automatically a douche. Being called ‘coach’ by his players is one thing, but if you’re one of his peers, then that’s just automatic douchebag status.
Not just willing, but when you have at least a rat’s change of accomplishing it. No one was going after Coach this time. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Candice: “In real life, I would have gone after his psyche, his insecurities, I would have got to him.” Really? In real that’s how you deal with people you disagree with you about cooking beans & rice (and Coach was right, BTW)? You must be a joy to be around IN REAL LIFE, and must have been a real dear around camp for pretty much EVERYONE to want you gone.
Well played by Coach, but Candice practically handed it to him.
I like Taj quite a bit so far but man she’s got to do something about that t-shirt that makes her look like her penis is hanging out.
That’s actually not unusual. Coaches are commonly called “coach” by more than just their players, especially their peers. (Fellow coaches.) Even out in the real world. For example, it would be perfectly natural to call someone like Bob Knight or Bill Parcells “coach” if you met them on the street.
Being called coach isn’t what makes him a douche; it’s his personality.
I’m surprised, given his level of douche-baggery, that he doesn’t call himself “Maestro”.
Check out his web site.:rolleyes:
“I’m going to be made out to be a hero.”:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
For example, he doesn’t want to be portrayed as dishonest, but he admitted lying to the women on his team about where he going during production, telling them that he was getting medical tests for two months following an actual cancer scare. (He previously “had some tests done on what they thought was a brain tumor, but it wasn’t.”):rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
Heh. “Maestro.”
Yeah, the man’s a tool. We haven’t had a really great asshole in a couple of seasons, though. Ace was working on it, but Sugar took him out before he really got up a head of steam.
that web site earns him the rating of douchebaggery…
The funny thing was as Mr and I were watching the show, I started calling Coach “Maestro” for his utter doucheness and pompousness. I didn’t know how right I was.
In some really sad way, I want him to stick around just so I can laugh at him…
