Survivor: Thailand's Clay Jordan Dies At 66 After Brief Illness
Survivor: Thailand runner-up, Clay Jordan, died from a brief illness on Thursday. Clay was known to fans as the personable restaurateur from Monroe, Louisiana, while appearing on the fifth season of the show. Initially picked last out of the men to join Chuay Gahn by oldest female tribe member Jan Gentry in the first episode, Clay's laid back attitude didn't seem to mind in his first confessional of the season when he said, "I'm the smallest and oldest one sitting there. I knew I was going to be last. They got a diamond in the rough they don't know." Jan mostly picked older cast members to join the tribe with only one member in their twenties. The tribe would lose the first immunity challenge, forcing them to go to Tribal Council where they voted out John Raymond.
Clay's charismatic nature and social skills were able to further him through the game. In episode 7, «Assumptions,» Jeff Probst gathered the two five member tribes to inform them that they would be living at one camp together, presumed to be the merge. Jeff had representatives from each tribe go check out the two camps to decide where they would live. Shii Ann Huang and Clay visited the Chuay Gahn camp where Shii Ann revealed to Clay that she felt ostracized by Sook Jai and would consider flipping to work with Chuay Gahn. Clay relayed this information back to the Chuay Gahn five alliance before Jeff announced that while the two tribes would be living at the same camp, they had not merged and would still be competing against one another as tribes. Sook Jai lost the immunity challenge where at Tribal Council Shii Ann was voted out and the strategy of a classic «Pagonging» began.
