Survivor: AfricaEdit
Clarence Black was a contestant on Survivor: Africa, where he was best known for stealing a can of beans. He was also accused off-camera of taking cherries when everyone else only had one, by Ethan Zohn.
Black did stay around long enough to make the merge. The "beans scandal" separated him from his original tribemates and left him out of the alliance with the eventual final four of Kim Johnson, Lex van den Berghe, Ethan Zohn and Tom Buchanan.
Because he was alienated from the alliance, Black had to focus on the individual challenges in order to stay in the game. In the first immunity challenge after the merge, an exhausted Clarence proposed to Teresa Cooper that they would play a rock-paper-scissors game to determine the winner of the challenge. Clarence lost, and removed himself from the challenge (allowing Teresa to win immunity) in the 6th hour of the challenge. Teresa promised Black that she would not vote for him if he let her win immunity. Black was eliminated from the competition the next day by a vote of 8-2.
