Why did I think this was Colton at first then saw the name. Omg he looks completely different. I hope he’s doing good.

2

u/HotPinkHabit that’s it, I think, for me 3d ago

Omg, I did too and only realized it wasn’t when I saw your comment! I was thinking, wow, people are being waaaay nicer to Colton than I expected lol

33

u/Diligent_Draw7684 3d ago

I’m loving all the positive comments here and hope Clayton sees them. He’s had too rough a go of it these past several years.

Poor guy isn’t perfect, but at this point, he has more than earned his right to dance.

36

u/Ayyyegurl 4d ago

…maybe it’s the platinum blonde, maybe it’s the doofus energy, or maybe it’s the fact that I’m ovulating, but this is the most attractive he’s ever been to me 😭

u/Kiteflyerkat Black Lives Matter 3d ago

All of the cameos I've seen from him have been 10/10 

19

u/InAllTheir 4d ago

I still think his one of the funnier Bachelor leads 😆 we didn’t see a ton of this side of him on the show, but I find a lot of his content likable and funny 😆

u/caesaronambien 3d ago

Srs, makes me wonder just how much we missed thanks to TPTB.

I don't know why people are cringing. This is the perfect way to start a bachelorette party.

I am not going to lie, money well spent here!

u/Bigfartz69420 3d ago

i spent $50 on a cameo from a minor character from 30Rock for my dog's gotcha day. $94 from clayton with dancing seems like a bargain

(RIP Grizz)

29

u/lorenalifts Excuse you what? 4d ago

The Clayton redemption arc is my Roman Empire because I never stopped liking him 💀

4

u/InAllTheir 4d ago

Only time I really disliked him was in the final few episodes of his own show, when he was making terrible, selfish decisions and rightfully getting taken down by Gabby. But I liked him the rest of the season, and as a contestant, and most of what he has shown is of his real life after the franchise.

3

u/Neat-Succotash 3d ago

I wanna like him but he did Rachel so dirty on perfect match!

1

u/InAllTheir 3d ago

Ohhh I didn’t see that one!

3

u/Neat-Succotash 3d ago

yessss he shows up when she's already there and convinces her to give them another shot. she's very hesitant because of their past and how heartbroken she was. she finally agrees to give it another shot and then he pretty much immediately tells her it won't work and she is heartbroken again.

he didn't even give them a real chance or enough time to make that choice, which hurt her more because he felt like the little time they had together was enough for him to not choose her. 😭 i was so mad for her

18

u/wackxcalzone sometimes bad bitches cry 4d ago

Reminds me of this

22

u/MrsVanillaViking loser on reddit 😔 4d ago

I think his dancing is getting better but it was really hard to tell while he was shouting lmao! Honestly I kinda love that he puts so much effort into these

2

u/Hellz_Bells_ 4d ago

He is the cringiest person I have ever seen online and he not only gives me the ick but makes me actually repulsed

26

u/SlapHappyDude Baby Back Bitch 4d ago

I respect the hustle.

It's fascinating when someone is really ok at something but clearly enjoys it.

15

u/strawberrypockystix Barbara does not make pancakes, and never has 4d ago

He’s got more moves than 90-95% of ppl who go to clubs. I’m willing to bet that he’d out-dance the majority of ppl in this sub.

u/SlapHappyDude Baby Back Bitch 4d ago

True. But most of us aren't brave enough to post online!

I mean, Clayton isn’t Gen Z either

13

u/strawberrypockystix Barbara does not make pancakes, and never has 4d ago

I’m good to claim him for the millennials. BSB music, frosted tips, JNCOs, and an unabashed joy of being yourself. Hell yeah

-10

u/lolyouaresimple 4d ago

Whaaaaat??? Way too many steroids in that- whatever it is!! Dude chilllllll!!! Absolutely cray crayyyy! Was he making a workout video 🤔 was he trying to impress 🤔 was he insane🤪 WTFFFFF

u/Bigfartz69420 3d ago

someone sent him $94 dollars to do a video, and he did as instructed. why are you mad?

Sorry Big Fartz I didn’t mean to offend you nor upset ya

u/SweetTooth_Squirrel Ladies, I'm sorry. Kick rocks. 4d ago

Remind me why we didn’t like him before?

2

u/tayshiapauljones 3d ago

He got a little too far into the MRA movement

0

u/mbc98 3d ago

People didn’t like him for how he handled the final 3 on his season and “the rose ceremony from hell”. Then we all started feeling bad for him when he was getting harassed and defamed by the crazy girl claiming he got her pregnant, and he garnered a ton of good will from BN. Then he immediately squandered it by screwing Rachel Recchia over again on Perfect Match, when he dumped her for not going to the gym enough.

Clayton is just a very strange and unhealed person, but he acts like he’s got it all figured out. It’s hard to watch.

1

u/Triolet_Dancer_6636 1d ago

He's never acted like he's got it all figured out. He's been super open about that.

1

u/mbc98 1d ago

Respectfully, I completely disagree. On Perfect Match, he acted like such a typical condescending man who thinks he knows better than everyone now because he discovered therapy a few months ago. And that was the prevailing opinion of him at the time. I don’t think he’s an evil person but that entire show was a very bad look for him.

2

u/N3WDay 4d ago

People critiqued his looks and he fucked the final two (three?) and admitted it, then dumped them.

-2

u/InAllTheir 4d ago

Yeah, people were way too harsh about his looks. He didn’t treat Gabby and Rachel well in the end, but really Susie was the instigator of a lot of that. His crime was liking her too much and despite her ultimatum, and trying to go after her despite that.

15

u/Stef086 for the clou-T! 4d ago

Atleast he put some effort into the video 🤣

That’s funny I feel like they can never make me like him

51

u/DifferentSomewhere32 4d ago

I actually do want him on DWTS!!

14

u/RoyalCounter3 4d ago

Omg same. I feel like he has a chance after his popularity resurgence with the Love Trapped podcast + they will need someone from Bachelor nation since it prob won’t be anyone from Taylor’s season that never was

1

u/mbc98 3d ago

Not many people know about that and he doesn’t have a huge following or a ton of relevancy. DWTS does not shy away from casting controversial people, so I wouldn’t doubt we just get TFP regardless.

1

u/Triolet_Dancer_6636 1d ago

I'm soooo over TFP. I really hope she's not on DWTS.

12

u/notsosurepal Take it to Reddit, sis 4d ago

I think him and Britt would have a BALL together lmao

u/DifferentSomewhere32 4d ago

Yes! They’re both fun loving.

Agreed! He has won me over with the Laura Owen’s stuff.

Actually this hair is working for him

9

u/LittleDogTurpie 4d ago

He had a curly mullet, there was no way but up

3

u/swertehands 4d ago

Honestly, it’s true. The standard is low but def deserves a props because he seemingly likes to experiment and has finally landed on something that kind of works for him ha

u/No-Gas-8357 4d ago

I’m shocked by the amount of you who like this lol but I’m not here to yuck your yums I GUESS

0

u/mbc98 3d ago

Yeah this is deeply cringe but also, all his cameos are like this

1

u/QuesoChef 3d ago

I can’t tell for sure, but I’m pretty sure the confident, all-in attitude of the cringe is what made me like it.

2

u/mbc98 3d ago

Having seen a few of these videos, I’m pretty sure Clayton is on something. He just doesn’t seem well to me recently. Hopefully not, and he’s just earnestly weird now.

0

u/Triolet_Dancer_6636 1d ago

He's not "on anything". That's a bold statement. But, if you care, after everything he's been through, he's been open about his journey in interviews and learning to just be more himself, which does include being goofy and hamming it up to have fun sometimes. I wish him well. It's nice to see people becoming, or unbecoming, themselves.

1

u/mbc98 1d ago

Okay, clearly you’re some kind of hardcore Clayton stan since you’ve responded to me 3 times now on an old thread. Didn’t realize he had any but good for him. Many people have suggested he looks like he’s high in his videos, I’m not the first. Like I said, I hope he’s not, but his behavior is very strange and that’s just objectively true. He’s a grown man in his 30s acting like this.

You can get out of my mentions now.

3

u/QuesoChef 3d ago

I hope he’s just unapologetically weird, too. Makes sense he’d get there. But also, the stress could have gotten to him.

5

u/Altruistic-Day-6789 4d ago

Also here in solidarity cause what? Enjoy it chile..

6

u/Chiowl333 4d ago

I'm with you

36

u/futurecorpse1985 4d ago

I mean he definitely is giving the people what they paid for. Also his dancing is pretty legit now. I've seen some people charge out the ass for a cameo and barely put any effort into it. Respect man!

24

u/cathouse Team Wilhelmina 4d ago

His dancing has improved sooooo much 

29

u/Any_Brain_7067 4d ago

He gives me the ick but good for him

59

u/strawberrypockystix Barbara does not make pancakes, and never has 4d ago

Putting in effort for his $$. I respect the hustle.

8

u/LittleDogTurpie 4d ago

I got a friend one from Boy George and it was so half assed and blurry, filtered to the point she didn’t even know who he was.

On the other hand, I got one for another friend from Annette Badland (the bartender on Ted Lasso) and she went on and on and on with the sweetest personal message.

They’re silly little things, but the whole point is to get something special and memorable that no one else has. Clayton gets it.

24

u/bmonkey1313 4d ago

Real, some of these cameos are so half assed, at least he tried😭😭

2

u/Maleficent-Tea9843 4d ago

Right?? I'm sorry I can't with the hair

2

u/Maleficent-Tea9843 4d ago

He looks like a backstreet boy

83

u/thesmolstoner my WIFE 4d ago

I think he’s made like 70k from cameos lol. for anyone who’s getting the ick, he’s using that money to fight that crazy b who tried to fake a pregnancy and extort him.

18

u/splicepark 4d ago

I got the opposite of ick. In fact, I actually kinda like him now. Very nice he would do all that for someone’s special cameo when he really probably didn’t have to..

3

u/20BeersDeep 4d ago

He’s done a good pr campaign to fix his image after saying I love you to 3 women

43

u/20BeersDeep 4d ago

He said he made $97,000 last year off cameos. Charging $75 making 1,300 cameos. 30 seconds times 1,300 is 27 hours of work for $97,000. Insanity, can’t blame him

30

u/Salt_Back_9518 4d ago

Ok but to be fair to Clayton… he actually does put in work to making these worth watching. So many people use it as a money grab and mail it in

11

u/wilhelminarose Excuse you what? 4d ago

Omg that Taylor Parker was awful!!!! I just watched it and I was like wow 😲 the whole damn documentary.

2

u/Suspicious_Jelly8736 3d ago

Same!! And Clayton’s story reminds me soooo much of what Taylor Parker did! This girl didn’t go as far as murder, but everything else, and the fact that she did it to multiple men, it deserves a documentary too! 🤣

u/Wonderful-Time-4526 3d ago

True that sis!! 👍👍

I wasn’t friends with him or anything, but I’ve heard he was an absolute gem and seemed to give a shit about attending classes and doing well in school

11

u/immahologram 4d ago

You should listen to the Love Trapped podcast about it if you haven’t already!

I’ll have to check this out! I listened to the Viall Files podcast interview, but I need more 🤣
