TV Reality Show Contestant

The Resume

    Based in Water Mill, New York
    Real estate executive
    Eighth juror on Survivor Nicaragua

Why he might be annoying:

    He lists Ronald Reagan as his inspiration.
    His stereotypical, if highly nasal, ‘wise guy’ voice earned him Joe Pesci comparisons.
    He wore $1,600 alligator shoes to the Espada camp (not exactly the way to avoid being tagged as wealthy).
    Jane referred to one of his destroyed runners as ‘filet of sole.’
    At the final tribal reward challenge, he committed a running violation by throwing the ball before taking a leap (the Espada won anyway).
    He doesn’t believe anyone who isn’t a Virgo thinks Brooklyn has any ziplines.
    He was almost invisible and unheard from in the later stages of the season — until his jury rant.
    He was the only Survivor in the final seven Jeff didn’t consider a threat to win the million — which played into his take-me-to-the-end goat strategy.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Though 63 at the time, he was not the oldest player there (he was!).
    He doesn’t consider himself to be like any Survivor.
    Because the Espada decided to use the Medallion of Power in the second round – thus securing two benefits – he was allowed to sit out the challenge when he would not otherwise have been.
    Though weaker, his loyal easygoing nature made him more valuable to the tribe than was Jimmy T.
    Unlike some of his tribe-mates, he wasn’t bothered by watching New La Flor feast on kebabs (there were no Martinis).
    Even though he caved at only two seconds, he wasn’t the worst performer in the first Libertad immunity challenge (she was!).
    The original La Flor tribe became so ‘at ease’ with him, they referred to him as Uncle Dan.
