Probst's promoting of Coach and his confusion that most of the audeince doesn't like him is starting to make me nervous that Coach is the
winner.

I am seriously considering a show called The Dragon Slayer. It's about a guy who lives in a world that exists solely in his own mind, and thus is invisible to the outside world. While it is the year 2009, the Dragon Slayer dresses like he's just returned from one of those Renaissance fairs where he's just finished eating a turkey leg the size of a small dog.You can enjoy one side of Coach - the anachronistic man out of time, the modern day Don Quixote, who fancies Brendan is a dragon and Stephen is a wizrd - while despising several other sides of his character. I hate Coach the sexist and Coach the authoritarian who wants to "coach" everyone and thinks anyone who challenges his leadership is a cancer. But the Dragon Slayer fantasist is fun. Probst will give kudos to any MALE who brings the entertainment. He even said we'd start to root for Fairplay at the end of S7, and we know JFP was hardly one of his faves. Read Probst's blog carefully, there are plenty of tongue in check digs about how delusional Coach is. Erinn had him from Nebraka not Oklahoma, but comparable point.

Being compared to Don Quixote is....not a compliment.

Dion Quizote was more than a delusional idiot or a liar.
The author had a romantic sympathy with him and his fantasy world. DQ also was free of Coach's many other faults. |

Ugh....Probst sucks. Coach sucks. I'm hoping that the amount of focus they are putting on Coach is because he goes soon and they want to showcase him
while they can. People that delusional are annoying, not endearing.

Probst's eternal hard-on for Coach is almost ruining the character for me.. he's delusional, hilarious and totally out of his mind.. I don't think
a person like that needs much promotion. Jeff's blogs are useless

If you have to take a long pause, then the line isn't spontaneous. The line also isn't very clever. Just as the other line Jeff swooned over ("TV gold") wasn't very clever, when Tyson wanted to punch someone in the head. Unattractive men with huge egos and issues with women seem to be Jeff's new dream come true. |

I still think the whole reason we started getting a final 3 instead of a final 2 was because MB and JP were miffed that Terry didn't make it past the f3
immunity challenge. They both obviously identify with strong middle aged men, as they see themselves.
I do think Probst is somewhere wondering about Roach's unpopularity, "I don't understand it, why don't they like this guy?" |

Those who can't; coach...And pretend. | ||

KungPaoKitty your entire post was spot on! Like music to my ears, a smooth fine wine...perfect analogy.
I have been lurking here for years and seldom post. I HAD to tell you how much I agree with you. Probst is almost as big a Tool as coach. Going back int lurk mode now. Edit to add: Thank you James Barber for all your hard work. I look forward to readin it evert Friday. You are the best! |

lol I actually thought this was far and away Probst's best blog effort yet. Two reasons:
- It shows some evidence of planning and editing. Most of his blog entries look like some first draft scribbling of whatever popped into his head when he sat down at the computer. Sure, life is like that, it's not edited and formed into a story. But Survivor, and even Ben's imagined life, are. That's why we watch tv, go to movies, read books, etc. This blog entry actually had a topic, an idea he wanted to convey, and was generally organized to effectively convey it. Sure, most of the good lines were quotes from other people, but Probst managed to excerpted and presented them in a way to communicate. - He's not trying to be some kind of expert commentator or analyst, which is the aspect that makes much of the blog content so silly. Either last season, when he kept telling us things about Fang that we could see weren't true, or in general that he discounts half the contestants based on age and gender. This entry doesn't try to provide analysis, and so avoids failing at it. |

I started out hating Coach but the guy has been turned into such a cartoon character over the past two episodes that I can't help but laugh at nearly
everything that he says. I don't take him seriously at all. It's like watching a sitcom whenever he is on the screen. He is even more of a
pretentious know it all then Cliff Clavin the postman on Cheers. It amuses me to no end that most of the other contestants do what he wants.

Hey Probst? Aren't there some WOMEN on this show?What could he actually say about them? They were complete non-factors this week. Sierra was oblivious to the boot of her only ally and Taj/Debbie/Erinn just sat back while the men did all the work. It's not like he's spending a Micronesia blog talking only about Erik & Jason. Anyone would prefer a bland useless blog like Phil's to Probst's random insane musings, you make me sad |

I don't know why you people so upset with Probst's blog. I found myself laughing so hard reading it, because I can so see the new show "The
Dragon Slayer" and true it is a soooo much better blog than Phil Keoghan's blog or that Bachelor host's blog.
Carrie Ann Inaba's blog is one peg below Probst. For the record I hate hate Coach. But tbh, I laughed out loud this episode hearing his ridiculous comments. It turned my hate somewhat down, though still hoping he's out soon. It's time for the Dragon Slayer to meet Buffy |

SEG edits Coach as a cartoon and stupid Probst keeps pimping him out his his stupid blogs. With more and more "characters" so obviously pimping to the cameras every season, they might as well turn this show into a scripted TV show. |

^ I agree. Tyson seems so scripted. It annoys me. Yes! Thank you! I so, so agree. It's keeping me from really enjoying his character, while he's certainly making things entertaining, there's nothing particularly genuine about him. It's all very affected to me. |
