Dan Barry's Official Bio
Dan Barry is a former astronaut and current mad scientist. Geez, an astronaut? That trumps every cool job that’s ever been on this show. Those professional sports players, Navy SEALs and rocket scientists that have been on the show in the past are totally owned by a real astronaut who’s actually been in space.
With such a high profile job, I wonder if he’s worried that his opponents will vote him out because of it because they think astronauts earn the bug bucks. I predict that he will assume a false identity and go under the name Dan Brady, plumber, but the sneaky producers will have cast a NASA enthusiast who will ask him “Aren’t you Dan Barry, famous astronaut and veteran of three flights into space?” and Dan will stammer and stutter and his lie will be exposed.
As if being a real life astronaut doesn’t impressive you enough, Dan currently invents robots for a living. You heard me – he builds robots, no doubt giant fighting cyborg machines which are our only hope against alien invasion. Or perhaps I just watched too much Anime and Power Rangers as a kid.
Ordinarily, I would single out the obviously old guy as the first boot. However, not only is Dan not the oldest guy this season (Bruce Karateguy is) but he’s also probably operated on himself and given himself superstrong cybernetic limbs that are resistant to injury and can crush a man’s skull in one move.
