The Resume

    (September 16, 1951- )
    Born in Silver Lake, Minnesota
    Resides in Ramsey, Minnesota
    Became the third 'Survivor' player behind Michael Skupin and Bruce Kanegai to be pulled from the game (without being voted out) for medical reasons

Why he might be annoying:

    He was the only 'Survivor: Fiji' contestant who applied to be on the show; CBS producers scouted the remaining contestants.
    His family used to own a snapping turtle, which was since returned to the wilderness.
    While competing in a slip and slide challenge (for reward), he took a serious tumble; medics described his condition as musculoskeletal pain. He complained about his condition.
    He looks like Santa Claus.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He worked as a school bus driver and spent 14 years as a barber.
    He enjoys coaching children's sports teams, particularly soccer; baseball; basketball and football.
    His family adopted two dachshunds to replace their dead bulldog.
    He competes in inline skating marathons.
    He has been happily married to a teacher for over 30 years.
    His fellow contestants dubbed him 'Papa Smurf.'
    Against Anthony, he ate hairy pig snouts to win immunity for his tribe.
