Have you ever dreamt of getting a nickname from Survivor star Benjamin ‘Coach’ Wade? Well, now’s your chance! Coach, aka the Dragon Slayer, just announced that he’s allowing 200 lucky fans to get christened with a nickname — it will just cost you a couple of hundred bucks.
Survivor’s Dragon Slayer is selling nicknames to 200 fans
It’s still up in the air whether or not Coach will walk away with a grand prize on Survivor 50, but in the meantime, he just found a way to make an easy $40,000. He’s selling 200 nicknames for $200 each.
“Only the first 200 worthy warriors will receive a Zoom call AND a nickname,” he wrote on Instagram, along with a link to his website, DragonSlayerCoach.com.
Sure enough, his website sells an “Official Nickname Ceremony.” It costs $200, and you’ll get a 10-minute Zoom call with the man himself. He’ll also mail you a certificate of authenticity. It could be the perfect little knick-knack to hang on your fridge.
“Anyone can make up a name. This is different,” Dragon Slayer’s listing teases. “You’ll sit face-to-face with The Dragon Slayer and be given a name that reflects who you are, what you’ve faced, and who you’re becoming.”
Sounds promising, right? Coach reiterated multiple times that this will only be available to 200 people. He said he’ll never do another Zoom call again, and it seems that sense of urgency has pushed a few people to fork over the $200. As of right now, only 192 slots remain.
Meanwhile, some fans aren’t feeling thrilled about this business venture. Some Survivor viewers called him out online for charging so much money. Trust, we’ve seen worse on Cameo. On the other hand, one fan thought that the pricing wasn’t right because he wasn’t charging enough.
“Sir a nickname should cost $2,000 not $200,” one fan replied.
Survivor 50 airs on CBS every Wednesday at 8/7c.
