We’ve gotten some wild content from Coach Wade throughout Survivor 50, most notably his reconciliation and then almost immediate break-up with Ozzy, but last night was the first episode of the season where we got the full Coach Wade experience. He was screaming at people about honor and integrity, while trying to micromanage an eleven person split vote, while also dancing and coming up with haikus. It was a hot mess. It was Coach in all the best and worst ways, and not surprisingly, the fanbase is having another meltdown about it.
I say not surprisingly because this is the fourth time this has happened. Every single time Coach Wade has played Survivor, he’s been an extremely divisive figure. A huge segment of the fanbase always hates him while the season is airing. He’s clearly a villain and a wannabe dictator and also a massive hypocrite. He orders people around and lashes out with really vindictive anger when he doesn’t get his way or someone doesn’t follow the plan. He’s always self-righteous and always arrogant, and many fans loudly and aggressively root for his downfall.
