TV Reality Show Contestant

The Resume

    Born in Washington, District of Columbia
    Based in Terry Town, Louisiana
    Network engineer
    Third juror on Survivor Philippines

Why he might be annoying:

    He considers know-it-alls a pet peeve (a lock for Not Annoying if he weren’t on a competitive reality show).
    He is divorced.
    Those earrings!
    ‘I have James’ physical appeal — even at 52.’
    He considers himself to be most like Rudy and Rupert — though neither was a model of ‘cunning leadership.’
    ‘If they bring back Phillip, I am screwed!’ Ironically, he looks and sounds loosely like the guy.
    Thanks to his radiation treatments for squamous cell carcinoma (a form of skin cancer that also affects digestion), he has significant issues with water.
    The other being Carter, he was one of only two contestants with no confessionals in the first episode — and none through five!
    He was not pleased with the deal that was struck between Mike and Jonathan to end an hour-long deadlock in the last tribal reward challenge (he wanted the chow!).
    His elimination was the result of his former Tangdang leader Mike Skupin flipping his vote, sending him to the jury in a 5-4 vote against Jonathan.

Why he might not be annoying:

    ‘I’ve applied somewhere between 15 and 17 times.’ Meaning back in seasons without hidden immunity idols or lame-twist islands.
    His personal claim to fame? Beating Stage Four cancer (he was undergoing cancer treatment when he received the call).
    He considers bullies a pet peeve (he would have gotten a kick out of watching the Savaii downfall).
    While he is a Boston Rob fan, he also has a problem with returnee players.
    He had a birthday during his time on Survivor.
    He made short work of the rice pots in the challenge where the big reward was a full cookout set (which his tribe won).
    A good head taller than Dana, he simply used his long reach against her short range to score the first point for his tribe in the challenge with the idol pedestals.
    His ouster pleased RC mightily — Pete and Abi found their hold on power weakened considerably.
    Unlike Jeff K, his post-ouster confessional was not particularly bitter — though he still indicated he would have loved the million (‘well played, Penner!’).
