Apparently Tom Hanks interviewes him about his time kayaking for many days alone, as he was preparing to film Castaway. He has quite a diverse background as a musician and athlete.

where the fuck are people getting teachers vs students as a twist. Just because the first few people discovered work in the school system, does not mean it is
teachers vs student.
Good god, can we ban these morons? |

I wonder how Merhag Debbie feels about being called a MERHAG?Oh! I meant to add, yeah, hopefully she can find the bestowal of a nickname as a compliment, an expression of interest. It should be a little flattering that she was featured identifiably in the preview, right? |

No twist is worse than the ghost tribe. |

But can we all just lighten up just a tad? This is supposed to be the fun part There's no harm in entertaining the outlandish - gawd knows SEG has not only entertained it, but actually used it in the past |

The Ghost Tribe twist wasn't fair, but Lil's downturned frown made an unforgettable image. The Race twist was offensive.

Okay, it's Ben Wade, not Carlin Hagen who is on. This was posted in a survivor.com forum also... (link)
Rumor has it around my town, Susanville, California, that our Symphony Conductor is a contestant. His name is Ben Wade. He had been gone for a while and reappeared at the December concert...had lost a lot of weight and word has it that he was in South America.And later... Hmmm...well, Carlin Hagen is my son's high school guitar teacher at Lassen High School. He has been teaching at school this entire year, hasn't been gone but for a few days here and there, so he can't be a contestant. |

Here's a PDF brochure for Ben Wade's international soccer camp: http://www.sbuniv.edu/ath...cs/wsoccer/soccercamp.pdf
And here's his never updated myspace: http://www.myspace.com/rockstarofclassicalmusic. I'm pretty sure he's 37, not 35 like it lists.

Those top two pictures make him look like he's in his late 40's not 37, but he does seem alot more interesting than the Carlin.

Wow, I like the guy, I don't think he is hot or anything, hate long hair in men, but he looks really interesting. Love the photo with the puppy :)
BIRDLADY, I also think u are right, when I asked about what Merhag thought about being called "merhag", I also kinda thought she liked at least a little. Most people liked her. I like her. She looks like Kelly G's mom or something. |

So far we have a teacher, principal, soccer coach, and a granola guy. Where are the Mactors?? No Mactors would be a first. Let's hope.

And is it just me or does Ben Wade look like a complete douche? Best not to judge a book by its cover, though. |

I would have said poser, but yeah, bad vibes for me, too. (Is that a cat or one of those creepy little dogs you keep in your purse that he's holding in the
first photo?)

So Ben Wade is the rumored musician?
He looks very very familiar to me, and I found this: Wade also has interests outside of soccer and is considered by most to be a true "Renaissance Man." In 1996 he paddled 6,132 miles to set the world record for the longest solo kayak expedition. He paddled for six months on the Pacific Ocean from San Felipe, Mexico to Colombia, South America. In 1988 Wade was voted among the best trumpet players in the world by winning the ITG international trumpet competition in Dallas, TX. He is currently the Conductor/Artistic Director for the Susanville Symphony, and has composed over 50 classical works for symphony orchestras.I don't know where, but I have seen this fellow on news/documentary or something. Funny how some like the long hair, the guy is not all that good looking, but definitely driven. |

I think he looks creepy, especially considering that he's a girl's soccer coach. Women think he's hot not only because he's in great shape and
graying enough to make good money (which they can then take) but because he oozes dominance, confidence, stregnth and control. The severe expressions on his
face in several photos, the tightly bound hair, the dark clothes that are too formal for the setting, the British looking rugged features. Remember, he's
at work. Most coaches wear parkas to work, stuff like that. That would be like having a female boy's soccer coach who had enormous fake breasts and a short
skirt and caked on makeup. People would be thinking "That psycho. Why's she gotta spend an hour in front of the mirror trying to look like that in
order to coach a bunch of boys less than half her age?" And really, though, what is up with the fact that even when he's smiling he looks predatory?
And who tries to look that GQ when they're hanging out at home with their dog if they're not a huge phoney? I'm not saying he's a bastard. That
would require knowing him. I'm just saying he gives me a creepy vibe. That's a fact.
