Profile
Gabriel Cade was born and raised in the tiny alternative community of Celo, North Carolina. His father is a doctor and his mother is a nurse. In addition, they run a small farm with goats, chickens, rabbits and fields of blueberry bushes. Cade has one brother, Jason, and a twin sister, Emily.

During his first two years of high school in Mitchell County, Cade was a competitive figure skater, a member of a singing quartet and was part of a symphony orchestra (having played classical cello since he was seven years old). He also studied jazz and ballet dancing. He then transferred to the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics for his junior and senior year. As the school required community service, he spent two summers working for World Changers, an organization that assists in building homes for impoverished individuals. Graduating in 1996, he then traveled throughout Europe where he eventually began volunteer teaching English in a small town in France while also leading adventure trips for students.

Returning to the States, Cade enrolled at the University of North Carolina where he intended to pursue a double major in biology and drama with a double minor in English and French. During his freshman year, he completed a rescue scuba diving course to become certified. After his freshman year, he returned to Europe to continue leading the adventure trips. He then returned to the States and enrolled in a Sarasota, Florida-based school named New College. With no grades and no core requirements, if a course didn't exist, he was able to create it and call it an independent reading project. For a brief time, his major was French Science Fiction. While there, he was able to fulfill a lifelong dream of playing soccer with a semi-professional team while also coaching at a local middle school. In addition, he performed and taught ballroom dancing.

In the summer of 1998, Cade spent four months hiking the Appalachian Trail from Mount Katahdin, Maine, to Springer Mountain, Georgia (approximately 2,000 miles). He then returned to college, this time at the University of North Carolina, Asheville, until he decided to move to Los Angeles, California. He obtained a job writing for a national college newspaper where he ran the entertainment section. This afforded him the opportunity to interview his favorite celebrities, attend the Sundance Film Festival and participate in lavish press junkets. When he decided to leave the paper, he then began teaching an S.A.T. math prep course while bartending and serving as a chauffeur for an elderly gentleman.

Gabriel Cade's favorite hobbies are reading, writing, soccer, camping and learning new languages. He is fluent in French and moderately versed in three additional languages. He currently lives in Hollywood, Calif. His birth date is July 1.

Survivor: Marquesas
Gabriel Cade was placed on the Rotu Tribe. He noticed that Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien was more focused on the fire and didn't interact with the others. The next day, everyone was amazed when they found the water source. It was a pair of majestic waterfalls that had taro growing under it. Also, the tribe started fire. Rotu dominated challenges, reducing the Maraamu tribe to five members. During this time, Gabe bonded with Paschal English to the point of calling him Papi. He also had an argument with Kathy about shelter and bonding with others.

At what was thought to be a reward challenge, everyone had to step on a pad. It was revealed to be a Tribe Switch instead. Gabe stayed on Rotu with John Carroll, Robert DeCanio, Tammy Leitner and Zoe Zanidakis. Kathy, Paschal, and Neleh Dennis were transferred to Maraamu and were replaced by Rob Mariano, Sean Rector and Vecepia Towery. Rotu won the immunity challenge again, reducing Maraamu to four members. Things took a turn for the worst when John noticed that Gabe was bonding with the former Maraamu members and approached him about his strategy. Gabe told him that he was here for the expierience and didn't have a strategy. Gabe competed in the reward challenge with John, Tammy and Robert. Unfortunately, Kathy's big voice gave Maraamu its first win. Maraamu was given the right to loot the Rotu camp, taking about everything they won in past rewards. Gabriel was forced to sit out for the immunity challenge, which was building a distress signal. Crippled by the raid, Rotu lost immunity. In the face of their first tribal council, John asked Gabriel again about strategy. Gabe said he was voting out one of the three former Maraamus, but still said that he was here for the expierience. John deemed Gabe untrustworthy and arranged for his elimination. At his first tribal council, Gabe said trust was fading away as it became an individual game. Everyone turned on Gabe, making him the fifth castaway to be voted out of Survivor: Marquesas.
