Bat, its over at SS. He said something to the effect that ~they will be surprised at how far the old man goes~ He reportedly said this during one of his Survivor parties that are held each week at a restaurant.

I believe he said it, but it meant to me that he didn't make F2. Why? Because how could he get away with giving out that much info? There has got to be a clause in their contracts that forbid the F2 people from talking like that, I would think.
On the other hand, Clay seems to have diarrea (sp) of the mouth.

There was also a report that Penny said (in a chat, I belive) that EVERYONE was invited to her wedding. (which makes sense to me in the world of wedding etiquette) Some believe that Clay went because they bonded at the jury lodge. I am rethinking this. I think he went because he DOES make it far. He seems the type to want to crow about his accomplishments, and also because he is just gregarious by nature.

MB is editing him to be the type to hold a grudge and be petty, but I really don't think this is the case. I am thinking that he is probably just the oppisite. I have found in my life that people that are as gregarious as he seems to be just don't seem to have room for isolating behaviours like that. jmo.

Thanks Webkitty. I have not been able to negotiate the web easily on my deformed system so I haven't been there in awhile. That is soon to change. :)

I don't put too much stock in that reported comment by Clay. He may have said it but maybe not. Or it could be a misquote or the receiver read between the lines of something else he said. He also reportedly said ~watch the big guy~, refering to Ted or that was how it was interpreted.

I can easily see him winning this and I can make a case for him to be out soon too. I do believe he and Brian are tightly aligned though. Brians low key agreement with Ted just seemed to iffy. MB is not showing any conversations between Brian and Clay and that is a huge elephant in the room.

I do agree that he is a friendly guy and chose to go to Penny's wedding because he just does those things. I am not sure when she got married. It was probably too soon to bask in any glory. Had the show even started?

I like Clay and Helen. Either could win and that would be fine with me. I am not in favor of Jan winning at all. I just don't want another UTR to take it. Last year was very dissapointing. Ted seems to be just hanging on in hopes Brian will take him to the end. That does not sit well with me either. Both reasonable strategies, just not the ones I find interesting to watch.

Clay also made a comment to a friend/patron after Ghandia's boot that Chuay Gahn did not have to go back to TC anytime soon. That comment played a big role in why many spoiler sites started focusing on the Sook Jais to be the boots for awhile and it sure proved to be the truth. Maybe he gets tipsy and lets things slip that he shouldn't. After the info is out there, it's out there. It's not going to change the course of the game.

Ooooh, good one Herm! I never thought of Clay getting tipsy while at his Survivor parties and letting things slip.

Your right, after the info is out there, it's out there. And what he said did turn out to be true, CG never did go back to TC. I read that too where he was reported to say "anytime soon" so I was taking that to mean that they did go eventually. Maybe that was his way throwing off the spoilers, who knows.

I have to agree with Bat, I am not in favor of UTR players winning. I guess whatever gets you there is fair game, but it doesn't make for a good show when the "quite" one who hasn't had a strategy to show all season is presented at the end as the winner. JMO

Herm, I remember that comment from Clay. Seems it came right before the merge and seemed a logical assumption at the time because Sook was falling apart and there was only one more TC as seperate teams and Chewy outnumbered them. He did jump the gun however.

I can see Clay being very excited about hosting the parties at his restaurant because he does so well. It is good for business anyway but the feeling I get is that he is very proud.

I wish TDT would reveal their source, at least after proven correct, but I doubt they will.

Actually, Clay's business is not doing well. He filed for bankruptcy before he went on the show and was $400,000 in debt.

He certainly has a reason to be motivated to win $1 million.

I believe the parties were not held at his place but at a local hotel or club if I recall.

You are right Car, the parties are held at the Holiday Inn...Holidome.

Well, if he wins the million, and is $400,000 in debt it won't be very much money in the bank because he'll only get what? $500,000 after taxes? Still, that's nothing to sneeze at. I wish someone would hand me $100,000!

I thought the parties were at his place. My bad. Thanks for the info, Car and Kady.

I forgot, Clay was also reported to have said "the challenges stay consistently hard to the end."

To the end. Okay, Clay. Somebody should have put some tape over this man's mouth! LOL! He does have a colorful personality. Everything is on the surface. Now that I think about it, he reminds me a lot of my dad, in many ways. Scary! (That's in a good way. My dad's cool! :) )

Well that is not really much info. We know he made it to the merge and even if he was booted he would know the nature of the challenges, so he is not really giving away anything. And I have never heard any Survivor say any challenge was easy. Just talk.

I am feeling slightly guilty for not posting here since I see Clay and his wife Linda at least twice a week at their restaurant So I figured I'd try and remember a few things and make a small post to get rid of the guilt

Yesterday, the day after the bug eating show, the usual interest around Clay had shifted to Linda. She said she felt so bad for not winning the bug eating challenge, but Clay said he was so proud of her anyway and it really showed :)

Evidently the bug eating sceenes took a while since some of the critters kept crawling away

She also jokingly said she was glad she didn't win because all the survivors smelled really bad. However, after the second challenge, Brian's wife said she wasn't going to shower because she wanted to keep Brian's smell on her until he came home

The women couldn't wear any make-up because it rained on the long boat ride over to the island. If I remember correctly, the "visitors" stayed in Thailand for 8 days. Let's see, what else....I guess that is all I remember from yesteday.

Other than that, Clay's restaurant is decorated with pictures from Thailand and the Survivors. There are also other pictures of fans on the walls with Clay, and you might just find me there if you knew what to look for

Last, but not least, both Clay and Linda are nice caring people. Also, Clay's sense of humor gets me laughing any day

It is my sense that Clay and Jan are two to be reckoned with--it is just a guess

Excellent work, Butter. Now we need you to go to Clay's place for lunch on Thursday. If he is not there we know he could be on his way to NY for the Early show.

Oh Buttercup! Thanks for that info, now we can disect it ad nauseum!! lol!

So, he does still have HIS restaruant? I'm all confused. I thought he was holding the Survivor parties in another one because he lost his?

I believe that about the survivors being smelly! I thought of that the other night when they showed Helen's hair right up her husbands face as they were sleeping.

The bigest spoiler that jumps out at me is that the relatives got to stay in Thailand for 8 days.
I'm sure they weren't allowed to stay right there near the shoot location, but this might be an answer as to why Ted's brother says he got to F3.
I would think that MB's crew would keep a close eye on the relatives, but maybe his brother got some info there, someway.

I believe that Clay is a friendly person, he just had that Survivor fever going on during the show.
His wife was adorable.

And what Car said!!

okay, 'operation buttercup' moves into high gear as our planted diner gets the poop and scoop on clay. our operative's next phase is the 'get clay stinkin' drunk and offer him sex to squeal' one. remember, supposedly every man's fantasy is two women (while most can't handle the one they've got!!), so get his wife stinkin' drunk and invite her, too.


keep us advised.

"oh yeah" (rethinking 'next phase') "or maybe you could just see if he's out of the restaurant on thursday, indicating he is off for new york.....now, why didn't i think of that?! damn! no wonder car54 is the head of our bureau!"

i wish!! especially the special dark chocolate...

but no, i just got caught up in 'operation buttercup' and forgot there was an easier way to find out if clay stays or goes this week!!
also,if buttercup chose the easy way of spying, i.e., just see if clay is missing from the place on thursday evening, i couldn't use my line about men's fantasies:
they "want 2 women but they can't satisfy the one they've already got"! okay, i stole the line from some lady named wanda sykes-hall (?) on the comedy central channel.

I really hope the spoilers are wrong and not just for the entertainment value. I cannot stand Clay. He gives me the impression that he is nothing but a good ole boy. You know what I mean, typical red neck ...

I love them good ole red neck boys.....heck, I married one. And hubby's father was from Louisiana, and reminds me of Clay alot. He was a self described "ole coot", and the sweetest most caring man when the need arose. I know I'm in the minority here, but I hope Clay wins......:)
