The guy didn't put on any weight before Survivor because he wanted to project the professional image of a coach. So, he is slowly starving. They don't gt much sleep out there. My guess? Lack of food and sleep made him goofy. There are other explanations. Maybe he didn't want to put the jacket down, maybe he always carries his jacket that way. What I saw was a guy who very carefully folded his jacket over his arm when he went to write. I haven't seen such old fashioned manners since my grandfather. I thought that was kind of sweet.
Also, keep in mind that you see exactly what the producers want you to see, no less no more. When I did some digging on the net about the guy? I found out that under that rather egotistical exterior you see on Survivor is a born again Christian with a very sweet nature. However, you have to look for it. He doesn't put it out there for all the world to see.
I figure that if I did a solo ocean Kayak trip of 6000+ miles? My ego would be pretty big too. You don't lose that especially if you have to draw on those skills daily as a coach (which, sadly, he no longer is for the time being.)
I say give the guy a break. What do I know? I'm just a Christian advocating for a brother in Christ. I like the guy in spite of his often goofy behavior. I think he's kind of cool.
