Bill Clapton

William "Bill" Clapton is known for competing on Survivor: Marquesas.

As the oldest player in the game, Bill was seen as a weak link. However, he was spared at the first tribal council when Matteo Durbin was eliminated for his abrasive personality. But after losing the second immunity challenge, Bill was voted out.

Profile
Bill was born in a very religious Christian family. He would take his bible everyday to school, as well as pray every night. His family would go to the church where his uncle was the pastor. Bill graduated from high school in 1965 and went to college at Harvard, getting an associate degree.

Survivor
Originally put on Maraamu, Bill entered the game with the most camping experience out of anyone on his tribe. Despite this, he had trouble starting fire, as well as constructing a stable shelter. Bill was afraid this would hurt him in the game. However, when he noticed fighting between Matteo Durbin and Robert Pines, Bill felt more secure. After losing the first immunity challenge, Bill joined the tribe in voting out Matteo.

Bill was hoping to redeem himself by helping his tribe win the next immunity challenge. But they lost after Robert struggled in the second round. After the challenge, Bill realized that Madison Cerrito and Stephanie Glick were really tight, and wanted to vote against one of them. Robert and Zia Calerana didn't agree to the terms because they were useful in challenges and work hard around camp. He then tried to lobby for Robert for his poor performance in the challenge. But at tribal council, Bill received all the votes and was voted out on Day 6.
