So what ?
He's directly involved in the show.
I'll take his word over Jadzia's on this matter.

The only thing I did was point out the absurdity of your comment: "I watched all the shows and Clay never said anything racist."

I just pointed out that CBS never showed him saying anything racist. Neither you nor I know what was said.

He could have said a racist comment. I wouldn't put it past him. But I never said he did say a racist comment, nor did I assume he did.

YOU are the one who is talking in absolutes like you know definitively what happened. You are the one making assumptions.

I thought that was somwhat hypocritical also.


Anyone else notice how Brian really really didn't want to eat that last big spider?

Yeah, but none of the others got there quick enough to even look at the damn spider. How pathetic was that? Clay was stuck on that stupid puzzle the whole time! Helen and Jan couldn't get past the balance beam which looked like it was about 6 feet long. When helen finally made it, it looked like she took barely had to make more that 5 steps. Jan probably could've used a beer to steady her stride

Those three had nothing left for the challenges.

If Brian were more like Colby, Jan would have been in the final two with him.

Jeff would show up every 2 days, make them play a game for 15 minutes, then leave to go relax in his hotel room.

He doesn't know squat about what was happening besides those 15 minute games and 15 minutes tribal councils.

Not to get in the middle of this spat but the tribal councils are purported to last several hours. I'm sure this has been mentioned by many of the former survivors.

Also, if Brian had picked Jan over Clay then Jan would be the winner. Brian burned enough bridges that the Jan would have have killed him. As it was I think people voted for the lesser of two evils. Clay was a retard and brian was a greasy gold digging mo (and his wife is all about the benjamin's)

(not to cast aspersions... )

We still dont know what Ken was talking about?

The obvious thing would be that Ken wanted Brian
to say ted isnt going to win because he is black
isnt that what it seemed like he was getting at?

Cheddarmuff: I've heard that too. Supposedly both the challenges and the tribal councils lasted for quite awhile. Also, I would think that Jeff would be able to see and hear a lot more of what happened on the island than they showed us on TV.

I wouldn't call it ironic, I'd call it hypocritical.

Ted made a bigoted prejudiced statement about a southern white guy, whether or not Clay said anything or not. The thing is, though, that calling a white male from the south isn't considered wrong by most, especially those who aren't from the south.

It doesn't really bother me much, but it is a definite double standard.

I was even pulling for Ted out of the last 6 or so. I think he seriously lost it when he got stupid drunk on the challenge. Then, apparently, he went all paranoid as to why he was voted off, and made assumptions based on things he himself didn't hear.

The next one is only a month away or so.

Go to survivorsucks and make fun of how dumb the season was and muse about how painful it's going to be to watch another.
