I’m so glad there’s a community of people that agree this is the greatest scene in survivor, ever. It had me in tears. What they don’t show in this clip is when he gets to the challenge and talks about how he didn’t need any food or water, then right before it begins asks one of the other guys “hey man can I get some water?” 😂😂😂
It’s really great. I got back into survivor after a long lay off and obviously heard of this ‘coach’ guy-and my goodness did he live up to the hype lol LEGEND. Doesn’t need to win to be immortal and he almost did anyway in South Pacific.
I cut this scene with the help of my insanely talented producer who got all this content in the field. We had so much fun putting this together. our original cut was almost twice as long but hey... it's prime time tv.. we had to chop a ton out. what a joy to stumble upon this many years later... my biggest regret is that there are already footprints from the first time he walked places but the shots we chose were just better composition.. these days I would err on the side of the the "rea'l" take but back then "most" people didn't notice stuff like that.
This was done really well from top to bottom. You should be really proud of this work. Just look and read through other comments on here! This was practically art.
The best part by far is when show the shot of Coach Wade on the Sand Dune and he says, "Coach Wade's body might be failing in him in many ways, but Coach Wade still has what it takes, to outlast anybody here in this environment. Period, paragraph!"
This episode was the peak of reality television. Nothing can ever match the editing and comedic genius that The Martyr Approach had. To say this episode was making fun of Benjamin Wade, the most ridiculously over the top character in Survivor history, is an understatement. It really focuses in on how delusional this man really is, while also showing the others in a great way. The editors just dunked on this guy as much as they could.
I honestly don't think the guy is delusional. I just don't think he takes himself very seriously, which, on reality TV, is a good thing, because you're a more convincing actor. Russell Hants has even said that Coach was the guy who made Russell want to go on Survivor: if Coach could be THAT good an actor, and fool everyone into thinking he was a narcissist, what could Russell do?
You can tell he had a say in his own edit, and he really is that amazing an actor. In real life, no one would refer to themselves that often in the first person, and no one would use that many adjectives to describe their own greatness. He fooled all of America into thinking he was a pathological narcissist, and that, my friends, is one hell of an act.
Sean Foley He’s bad in the movie but I think at least 40% of his time on survivor is acting because if you watch interviews and stuff with him he seems very similar to the person he is on the screen
The thing about Coach is that while I do think it was mostly an act, I think he was trying to be the hero of the story, when he turned out to be a villain and a hilarious hypocrite.
@@leae3750, LOL, we may never know! Russell Hantz's schtick was an act. You should see what he's like with his TH-cam content nowadays. He's a nicer (not "NICE", but nicer) dude who pretended to be a total ass. Some people are just better at playing to the camera than others. The only reason why I say Russ isn't, like, all-the-way nice is because he CAN be a bit rough around the edges. I wouldn't recommend his content to kids.
i often come back to this when i feel lost in life and need guidance. the man, the myth, the king, the legend, the warrior, THE DRAGON SLAYER….THE COACH WADE
Let's never forget what actually became of this: Coach had never been to Exile Island before, but he took one for the team. He went in like Moses, did this shit, came back, earned immunity, gave up immunity, then got immediately eliminated. So good. Edit: Apparently I wasn't exactly correct. The point still stands that he gets eliminated almost immediately after this. It was as if he ascended from the game and became one with the Survivor Gods.
It's still hilarious that he did all of this shit and became a legend only to be IMMEDIATELY fucked over and eliminated, and this was after being fucked over for basically the whole competition.
Coach, Phillip, Debbie, Shane, Angelina, Abi, Brandon Hantz, Matthew (the one who needed his machete so sharp), Naonka, all on his me tribe with Courtney to narrate the whole think. I would pay my winnings if I ever go on the show to see that tribe.
When my boss sees me slacking and asks what’s up… my response: Coach Wade’s body might be failing him in many ways, but Coach Wade still has what it takes to outlast anybody out here in this environment. Period. Paragraph.
I know he has many haters but I've always admired him. He wanted to build alliances with the best people who he could trust, like JT. And when the Dragon-Slayer was on the jury, he voted for JT to win the show, as he should have, but I believe his vote said- "The Warrior JT". He wanted to play with the best and when it came down to it, he gave the title of Sole Survivor to the best.
Coach might have been best as a one season character. He was so great. Though, when Tyson was real with him during Heroes v Villains, that was pretty good too.
as much of a joke that he is and he is hilarious, he does speak truth... The whole tai chi part of him and he is clearly on a fast here, which is a staple of many of the greatest minds that have lived. Just look at the greeks, and particularly, Pythagoras and how much fasting you had to do to get into his school
@@ThePatchster Hundreds of hours of film edited down to a nugget. A lot of his speech sounds scripted and practiced. Probably filmed these snippets in more than one take. In Survivor, he is playing the archetype warrior. His stories are great but I doubt if they are true. I am not a big fan of Sophie Clarke, I think the jury was rigged & Coach should have won South Pacific, but again, we only see snippets. We do not know what goes on behind the scenes.
the airplane in the dissolve at 2:43.. it's not part of either shot.. like wtf? I do not remember that.. had to have been a remnant of some other timelapse that was composited in the transition at some point but I cannot believe that wasn't plucked out at the online session!
The scene I posted is actually two scenes from the same episode. The plane is from a scene in between the two coach exile scenes. The plane is just there from when I cut that out.
Man... So epic. They went from this to the participation trophy, "it's cool to be weak," gender studies, woke Olympics that Survivor is now. It's too bad. But this was awesome.
Im submitting this to the library of congress and the national film registry.

One of my favorite survivor characters to watch.
Especially the second half. Music birds etc

How did you shoot the wide panning shot of Coach on top of the hill? Did you use a helicopter?
I wish we could see the original, longer cut
Unbreakable, unbending, unyielding... immeasurable, immovable, invincible
Lol what a beast
He’s absolutely ridiculous. I love Coach 🤣🤣
Greatest line ever, powerful 🥹
The Passion of the Coach
"My experience here was starving, no food, almost no water, and it was awesome."
Such a goddamn Chad
A King with no crown.
A Warrior who set aside the sword.
A Man of true conviction.
A Student of the world.
But more than this
A Coach for us all.

One of the greatest episodes in survivor history
This exile is unbelievably beautiful

He’s actually self aware lol. He’s said multiple times he picks a character and plays it out on every season he is on
he probably knows that that's how you get the most screen time on reality TV. "Reality"...yes...no.
@@iam_vannguyen I think he was delusional when he first played Survivor, but has evolved since then.
The best casting choice in the history of the show
The music just puts it all together for one of the greatest episodes in Survivor history
Maybe the greatest episode in Survivor history thus far
Not maybe. This is the best. It will never be topped.
Unbreakable, unbending, unyielding. Immeasurable, immovable, invincible.
This scene perfectly represents what makes survivor the greatest show on the planet

Coach didn’t win immunity after going to exile
He did not take one for the team. He was trying to convince them before hand to not send him to exile.
Yeah he like begged not to go to exile and they sent him anyway and then probably faked a back injury, lost immunity and was immediately eliminated
@makjulise5148 no one getting the joke.. disappointing
It's still hilarious that he did all of this shit and became a legend only to be IMMEDIATELY fucked over and eliminated, and this was after being fucked over for basically the whole competition.
25 seconds in, and I'm laughing hysterically. You can't write this stuff. Coach is a brilliant, brilliant TV character.
They say 2 of the editors died of massive coronary heart-attacks. 3 became enlightened and sought to find God.
😂

Piece of art
I hope I dont sound like an idiot but this is actually extremely beautiful
This was the first full season I watched, Coach was my first fav
When my boss sees me slacking and asks what’s up… my response: Coach Wade’s body might be failing him in many ways, but Coach Wade still has what it takes to outlast anybody out here in this environment. Period. Paragraph.
I always enjoyed Coach's time on Survivor.
This is survivors "rocky" moment
Maryanne had not seen this scene when she went out to Survivor 42. I can't believe that...
I didn’t like Coach at first but he really grew on me. He’s probably my fav survivor ever.
i constantly rewatch this masterpiece
My favourite player of all time.
in all 43 seasons of survivor.
He is so hilarious and entertaining really don’t know how some people don’t like him😭
This is a hugely powerful moment
The greatest episode in survivor history.
June, 2024. 10 pm. Little sad and needed a pick me up.
Sir, this is Wendy's.
He wishes 😂
2:43 is the best part imo epic
The vultures circling him
I know he has many haters but I've always admired him. He wanted to build alliances with the best people who he could trust, like JT.

Coach might have been best as a one season character. He was so great. Though, when Tyson was real with him during Heroes v Villains, that was pretty good too.
Tyson getting real with Coach and Coach being so genuinely shocked to hear those things probably turned his life around.
Should've been in All Stars
All stars was 5 years before this season
Still the greatest scene ever! 😂
I'm pretty sure Coach is a cult leader.
well he basically became one in South Pacific
now that i think of it he looks kinda like joseph seed from farcry 5
He was in season 23
"Whatever the case I got the last word"
This is art
So intense and inspiring
c'mon lets face it: we all love Coach, The Dragon Slayer!
Love coach he deserved to win season 23
jesus wandered the desert for forty days and nights so coach could walk to exile
Coach? What’s his name? What was his name at birth? Benjamin! Benjamin be telling all the halloween jokes….Chuckie the Cheese jokes…..
as much of a joke that he is and he is hilarious, he does speak truth... The whole tai chi part of him and he is clearly on a fast here, which is a staple of many of the greatest minds that have lived.

Biggest case of Island Fever since the Blackberry haha
Epic !!
I played KYSO with Ben and his brother in the 1980's.
Russell called Rupert the second coming of Christ….nah it’s Coach
Coach is like the good guy version of Phillipe
Period, paragraph
Im so mad we will never see Coach and Phillip in one tribe😂
does anybody knows what song is this 2:44 been searching for almost 5 years now lol

How dare you not include the scene where he joins the other acting like some wounded soldier 😭
I had to keep the video under 5 minutes to avoid it getting taken down. The part you are referring to was in my original cut!
He's like the Michael Scott of Survivor
3:12 sounds like the American beauty soundtrack
You have to respect anyone that refers to themself in third person.
You know that Ben Wade knew he was being filmed and recorded.
Yes we do know that. What is your point?

Check out the skit our channel just did with Coach where he talks about literally slaying real dragons!
Man... So epic. They went from this to the participation trophy, "it's cool to be weak," gender studies, woke Olympics that Survivor is now. It's too bad.
But this was awesome.
What a goof ball lol.
Dragon slayer chi...... LMFAO
Erinn and Sierra had me to the bone bro, they were really annoying
Why does he remind me of a worse version of Jared Leto? Maybe it’s his voice?

But he's great television.
this guy was a joke always did the easy stuff
