Ladytex | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 06:58 am     To each his/her own, I've had many BAD experiences with those good ole red necks. Unfortunately, I have to deal with them regularly. They are usually very much in need of "sensitivity training" when it comes to dealing with minorities of any kind. |
Aus10 | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 03:01 pm     I would guess it would depend on one's definition of "red-neck". It doesn't necessarily mean being prejudiced against others. I can lump myself in with the "fat domestic goddess housewife group" as well, but it sure doesn't mean that I have the same tact and class that Roseanne does..(I'd like to think I've a little more class) ..JMHO |
Hermione69 | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 03:13 pm     Personally, as long as we are stereotyping, I would rather see a redneck win than a porn star. No offense to the adult entertainment industry, that's just the way I feel. |
Hermione69 | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 04:45 pm     I've been thinking that I am morally obligated to start rooting for Brian now as I have put him down far too much lately. What do you guys think? |
Shortnsweet | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 05:00 pm     No moral obligations when it comes to game show contestants! They put it out there, we just comment on it. |
Webkitty | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 05:08 pm     Herm, you root for who you want to, its a free country. As far as the porn thing goes. Brian was a legit actor before that. He briefly did some SOFT porn with his WIFE.(that you might see on cable) They had a baby and now he sells cars. (not that there's anything wrong with that,lol!) I wouldn't call him a porn star, because that has different conotations(sp) I doubt there are any hard core porn videos out there of him, or he wouldn't have made it on the show, and someone would have dregged one up by now and have reported it. Does this make you feel any better?  |
Hermione69 | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 05:48 pm     Yeah. Thanks! |
Halfunit | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 07:39 pm     Well, I'm gonna make you feel worse, lol. This should probably be in the Brian thread, but since you're talking about him here... Seems The Smoking Gun has stills of Brians' work. I will post the link, but click at your own risk!!! While nothing is "exposed", and the little black bar does its job, there is flesh. WARNING - BRIANS' MOVIES There are 8 pages in total - some pics look like him, some don't - but the women he's with sure aren't all his wife. |
Webkitty | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 08:33 pm     I think the mods might remove this, but if they don't: Don't look Hermione!! Its worse than you think! I guess you proved me wrong Halfunit, gee, that was some shocker. I had no idea. TMI for this webkitty! I think I would have rather not know about this. But, if he does win, I guess this will be plastered everywhere, so.....Off to watch Jake on Letterman! |
Halfunit | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 09:23 pm     I'm so sorry to taint you Webkitty - I just thought I'd put the whole story out there... Since the pics aren't as graphic as the ones during BB with the PB bikinis and Roddy, I thought I'd put up the link. Poor poor Hermione.... <slinking back to the gutter....> |
Seamonkey | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 09:53 pm     At least Brian was undoubtedly paid for this, unlike the hapless BB people |

Hermione69 | Tuesday, December 10, 2002 - 04:42 am     LOL! I've already looked. Several weeks ago. That's part of why I just can't root for him to win! I can't get that fake sex leer out of my mind! EWW! Plus his wife... they may both be very nice people, but she comes across as a superficial money grubber. I was appalled at how little attention was given to the child in that video from home and how much was given to the material possessions. Anyway, I was going to post the Smoking Gun link myself, but I thought everyone already knew about it, so thanks for doing the dirty work, 1/2! In a way this IS about Clay because this is why I would rather see him win than Brian!! |
Webkitty | Tuesday, December 10, 2002 - 08:07 am     No slinking required Half!! It wasn't you doing the videos, lol! I just had no idea, I guess I was denial PS: I missed Jake on Letterman. The last thing I remember was Dave saying: and we'll be right back with Survivor Jake Billingsley ...figures..... |
Grooch | Saturday, December 21, 2002 - 10:46 am     Jordan's fans plan final 'Survivor' party Chuck Cannon Posted on December 21, 2002 The CBS reality series "Survivor: Thailand" may be officially over, but fans of local contestant Clay Jordan will have one more opportunity to party with their hero. "We're going to have a big party," said Dave Taraba, manager of the Holiday Inn Holidome in Monroe. "It's tentatively scheduled for sometime during the middle of January, when Jordan returns home." Jordan, who finished second, plans to spend a couple of days in Los Angeles, then spend Christmas with his family in Texas before returning home. "CBS couldn't give us an agenda ahead of time, so we just decided to wait until he (Jordan) gets back after Christmas," Taraba said. "But I can tell you, it will be a pretty good party." Taraba said Jordan might not be the only special guest. "There's some talk that maybe the other members of the show will come for a reunion of sorts," Taraba said. Monroe Police Chief Joe Stewart is a close friend of Jordan, often stopping by Jordan's Restaurant to visit over a cup of coffee. "I think Clay represented Monroe well," Stewart said. "Through the show's editing, I think the paper today (Friday's The News-Star) was correct: The show tried to paint Clay as a Southern redneck, but I guess that's to be expected. "I think Clay did very well, and I'm proud as I can be." |
Spear | Sunday, December 22, 2002 - 11:24 pm     I saw a reference to this newspaper article on alt.tv.survivor. Here's an excerpt about the racist comment that Ted thinks Clay might have said: --- In a telephone interview Friday morning, Jordan said he still doesn't know what comment Rogers thinks he made. "I asked him that night in tribal council in Thailand. ... He couldn't tell me then. At the reunion, you saw, I immediately went up to Ted and said, 'Ted, tell me what you think I said.' He couldn't tell me then," Jordan said. "I don't know where he got it. Helen said she doesn't know where he got it. --- |
Squaredsc | Monday, December 23, 2002 - 06:45 am     its probably a myster that will never be solved. |
Csnog | Monday, December 23, 2002 - 08:00 am     When Clay folded his arms in front of him during the questions I knew he was in trouble. Folded arms means I'm not open nor listening to you speaking. It is a hostile act in body language. Clay needed one vote to win and the final TC was not the time to be antagonistic to the jury. |
Grooch | Monday, December 23, 2002 - 11:44 am     Racist charge on 'Survivor' still bristles Canyon native By Chip Chandler cchandler@amarillonet.com A day after winning $100,000 as the runner-up on "Survivor: Thailand," Canyon native Clay Jordan was still bristling over an accusation that he is a racist. Tribemate Ted Rogers Jr. accused Jordan of making unspecified racist comments during their time on the show. Rogers made the accusation during Thursday's pre-taped final episode of the CBS reality game show, as well as during a live reunion show that night. Rogers made the first accusation during the final tribal council, at which seven ousted contestants decided which of the final two - Jordan or Brian Heidik - deserved to win the $1 million grand prize. Heidik, a used car salesman from Quartz Hill, Calif., won on a 4-3 vote. Rogers repeated his claim during the live reunion show, saying that fellow contestant Helen Glover told him about the alleged comment after she was voted off the show. In a telephone interview Friday morning, Jordan said he still doesn't know what comment Rogers thinks he made. "I asked him that night in tribal council in Thailand. ... He couldn't tell me then. At the reunion, you saw, I immediately went up to Ted and said, 'Ted, tell me what you think I said.' He couldn't tell me then," Jordan said. "I don't know where he got it. Helen said she doesn't know where he got it. "The reason I lost, that hurt, because I didn't do it. Blame me for something I did do, and I'll take the loss." Jordan said he believes Rogers made the accusation because he was upset that he was outmaneuvered in the game and came in fifth place. "A big guy can't stand for a little guy to beat him at anything, that was his reason," Jordan said. "Ted was outsmarted, and he didn't like that." Aside from that flare-up, Jordan said he has no regrets about competing in the show. "I wouldn't change one second of everything I did. It was so hard, and it's kind of hard to understand how hard it was," Jordan said. "There are no words to describe how hard it was," he said. He was on a small island off the coast of southern Thailand from early June to mid-July. He lost 34 pounds during filming. A restaurant owner from Monroe, La., Jordan said he's been surprised by the attention the show brought him. His accent, short stature and colorful language have been ribbed by media outlets and the show's fans. The Web site thesmokinggun.com turned up Jordan's bankruptcy filing. But that hardly got the attention that the site's revelation of Heidik starring in a series of soft-core pornography films did. "What does that have to do with the game? ... We do have lives; we just got lucky. We just sent in a tape, and you don't know what will happen," Jordan said. That said, Jordan was as shocked by Heidik's past as anyone. "We talked about a lot of things on the island. ... Never did I dream that that would be part of him. It was unreal," Jordan said. Jordan will remain in Los Angeles through Monday, when he will travel to Lubbock to celebrate Christmas. After that, he'll return to Monroe and his restaurant, and he plans an eventual trip to Amarillo to visit his brother, father and stepmother. Beyond that, "I'm gonna use anything I've got. ... Do I think I'm going to move to California? Nope. There's airplanes that go that way," Jordan said. Link |

Grooch | Monday, December 30, 2002 - 02:33 pm     'Survivor' Jordan gets warm reception John Colvin / Assistant News Editor Posted on December 27, 2002 Dan Currier Clay Jordan, left, joined by his wife Linda, talks with Dave Taraba. A group of supporters turned out Thursday to meet the Jordans' plane at the Monroe Regional Airport. Monroe's favorite "Survivor: Thailand" contestant returned to the Twin Cities on Thursday night, following visits to California and Texas. More than a dozen people gathered at the Monroe Regional Airport to greet an appreciative Clay Jordan. "I cannot tell you how proud they have made me feel. It means the world to me," he said. "If I ever find the words to thank Monroe ... northeast Louisiana ... the Ark-La-Miss ... the entire South, I would say them." Danny Savana was one of several fans waiting in the airport lobby as Jordan stepped off the plane. "(Clay is) our friend, and we support him," Savana said. "I'm proud of him, and Monroe should be proud of him." Jordan came in second place in the CBS reality series Dec. 19 after months of keeping many in the area glued to their television sets on Thursday nights. He said he has not decided what will be done with the $100,000 second-place prize. A group of contestants voted off in earlier shows picked Brian Heidik as the sole survivor. Jordan said he holds no hard feelings toward Heidik. "We have a true friendship, a true bond," he said. The two were the last standing 39 days after 16 contestants made their way to a small island off the coast of southern Thailand in the Andaman Sea. Jordan described it as an extremely tough game. Although he said he was surprised how long he stayed in the game, he said he knew he had a good chance of winning when Ted Rogers was voted off. His favorite moment on the show was when his wife Linda made a surprise appearance. "Without a doubt ... watching my wife come around the tree. There's not a word for it - knowing she was doing alright," Clay said. On the allegations of racism made by Rogers on the "Survivor" reunion show, Clay said he was still mad about the unfounded charges. "The producers and executive producers have said they have watched every minute and never heard anything," Clay said. "If you notice that night (that Rogers made the accusations), I asked him over and over what I said. He kept saying he didn't know." Clay said his future plans are unclear but he plans to stay in the spotlight. "I don't think I have a choice," he said. "CBS has told me to get some rest and then give them a call." One thing for certain will be the People's Choice Awards. He said he has been asked to attend the ceremonies Jan. 11 and 12. Jordan and Linda have been traveling during the holidays with six members of their family. "(People) were stopping me asking for my autograph. I was Mr. VIP in Hollywood. It was a great feeling," Jordan said. |
