Outwit, Outplay, Outlast
Jimmy and Tracy run an "office pool" with Survivor every year. Unlike most football or basketball pools, you don't get to choose who you think will win it all. Instead, you are assigned a player before you know anything about them.
Shannon and I drew Benjamin "Coach" Wade. I found the following bio on him:
Aside from setting the world record for the longest solo kayak expedition on the ocean (an amazing 6,132 miles), Wade has also been attacked by a tiger shark, stalked by a jaguar in the Amazon and has been bitten by a piranha on his right hand. To say that he is a Type A, Alpha male, who likes to control the environment around him may just be an understatement. Coach's dominant personality will be a force to be reckoned with in the game.
We're certainly pulling for Ben to be the best one in the game this year (hey, it's 50 bucks!).
P.S. Get a haircut.
