SURVIVOR Host: There are lots of great questions, so let's get to as many as we can! If you're just joining us, we're chatting live with SURVIVOR Helen Glover. Hi Helen! Thanks for spending some time to chat with us today. Are you ready for some questions?Helen: Yes, I am!
StoneyGRL: Helen. I'm sorry you lost. I wanted you to win! My questions is, what was it like to watch the show from home after it was all over?
Helen: An eye-opener, because quite frankly, I really knew a different Brian in Thailand, and it was quite astonishing. The first time I heard a few of Brian's one-liners it was really, well, at first I excused him. I said, I think he's joking; I think he meant that tongue-in-cheek, and then of course the more his true personality began to show itself, I realized I'd been duped all along. I was really thinking that that had been a one- or two-day evolution, where Brian had thought I'd conspired against him and not checked with me on that, but then I realized that this was a long time in the works.
MistleToe_CyberChick: Helen, I was sad when you were voted off. I think you played the game very well. Now that time has gone by, have your feelings toward Clay and Brian changed?
Helen: Very much so. I've been able to accept the fact that I'm not going home with the million. I've congratulated Brian. I DO think that he played a good game. I just wish I'd been in the chair next to him rather than fourth. And I've now had an opportunity to get to know Clay outside of the game and he's a very, very nice person. I think my biggest regret, although I don't know how I could change it, is that I really wish that Clay and I had gotten along better.
go_brian: Other than yourself, who would you have liked to see in the Final Two?
Helen: Gosh, a number of people, starting right off with Ted and Jan, but I really liked Penny and Erin. I would have loved to have seen Shii Ann and Jake. I mean, there are an awful lot of combinations there if you take me out of it and you take Brian out of it. Quite frankly, I really liked John Raymond, and he was the first one off. Both John and Tanya were wonderful and genuine people, and I really would have liked to have seen them get a lot further. And certainly I would have loved to see them in the first and second chair if it couldn't be me.
mommalovesherethan: Hi Helen. Can you clear up the confusion on the Clay-saying-racist-comment Ted said at the final Tribal Council? Thanks.
Helen: Yes. First of all, I'd like everybody to understand that we did not discuss that in the game. I think there was an allusion to the fact that I might have used that to knock Clay's chances in the game, and that did not come up when I was in the game. After I'd gotten voted off, Ted and Ken came to me, asked if I'd ever heard Clay ever make racist remarks. Now I had three choices: I could have said no, but I would have been lying. I could have brushed it aside and not committed, but Ted and Ken would have known that that was a yes, so I answered with a straightforward yes, and that is all I ever said. The comment was derogatory. It might have been a joke. To me, it had racial overtones for sure, but for me the game was over at that point, and I didn't want it to be an issue in the game at that point because I didn't feel that anyone had treated anyone unfairly.
