LONDON, MANCHESTER: Gabe Dannenbring, a local Sioux Falls teacher, joined the cast of Netflix's 'Surviving Paradise' mid-season and kicked out one of the show's most contentious players. Gabe managed to boot model and influencer Tabitha Sloane in a bizarre game of trust and deception.

When the Insiders were given the chance to set two Outsiders against each other, with the loser going home, they chose Gabe and Tabitha. After the majority of the Insiders realized they had been duped by Tabitha, they decided it was the best thing for the game.

When it came to the task at hand, Gabe and Tabitha were told to take two separate routes to a destination where their fate would be decided. Gabe got to select between two boxes after arriving first, one of which said, "You are eliminated," while the other said, "Go to villa."

Gabe chose the one that stated "elimination" as he opened his crate. Now, he had to persuade Tabitha to make a swap so he landed with the crate that said, "Go to Villa."

Gabe and Tabitha, who started on the wrong foot from day 1, added to the cruel twist. On the basis of their history, Gabe knew Tabitha wouldn't trust anything he said.

He admitted that he had the elimination box and they should keep their own crate. In the hopes of sussing out Gabe, Tabitha fell for his ploy and chose to swap the crates, which ultimately sent them home.

Gabe's TikTok account, where he offers teaching advice, amusing anecdotes, and classroom hijinks to his 1.6 million followers, has catapulted him to unexpected prominence. He has become a well-known character on the platform, with over 52 million likes on his videos.

Gabe's content is centered on the amusing and occasionally absurd things his students say and do. He recalls moments when people made rude remarks to his face, chastized his wardrobe choices, or referred to him as "cringey" for attempting to be topical with pop culture allusions.

He also makes fun of various sorts of instructors present in schools, such as those who eat lunch while teaching or have extremely loud keys.

Gabe speaks about his own teaching failures as well as hilarious stories. He recalls falling asleep with his students during a health lecture while watching a video about delivery, or the awkward occasion when he ripped his pants at school.

He even feared he was going to be jailed one day, only to discover it was all a misunderstanding caused by a vehicle accident.

While his TikTok account is personal and unrelated to the school district where he teaches, his colleagues have applauded his social media presence for boosting the teaching profession. His wit extends beyond TikTok, as he is now on "Bored Teachers: We Can't Make This Stuff Up! Comedy Tour" and stars in the Netflix show, 'Surviving Paradise'.

Gabe never wanted to become TikTok famous, despite his viral fame and media appearances. It began with a simple video of his pupils getting enthusiastic about playing a Kahoot game. He is, nevertheless, appreciative of the opportunities that have arisen as a result of his internet presence.

Gabe, who also works as a full-time teacher, intends to keep teaching despite his influential position. He likes both professions and feels that his films demonstrate his enthusiasm for teaching.
