Here's my take on Clay's inappropriateness/why they lost the task:

(First, my baseline: Clay's actual words, as I heard them, were "but remember, he's the tight little Jewish boy." In context of Adam mentioning that one of his major considerations when asking someone out for a dinner date was how much it would cost, I'm assuming Clay meant "tight" as "cheap," not as "uptight.")

Also, my frame of reference is as a gay Jewish Texan...so take that as you will.

Clay's comment was a slur. However, he was playing into a set-up that Adam used to open the class. Adam started out saying he was uncomfortable with sex as a topic because he was a "little Jewish boy from Atlanta." He then added to this by declaring that he was, in fact, a cheap Jew. Clay was joining in on the fun in a boundaryless situation. His comments were inappropriate. They offended Adam personally, and constituted a (joking) slur. They were not, however, bigoted and anti-semitic. It was a case of jumping in on a friend's self-deprecating jokes, not realizing that it would be offensive coming from someone else. It could very well have offended enough people in the audience to lose them the task, but it wasn't a hanging offense, given the general rambling unprofessional nature of the lecture they were given.

Here's my conjecture as to Clay's hissy-fit at the end: he wasn't so much angry at being "outed," as he was already as out as one can be without the pride rings, but instead angry that Adam, Alla, and Markus, of all people, tried to pin the loss onto his bringing up homosexuality in a class titled "Sex in the Workplace." From what we were given, Clay didn't talk about gayness as a singular issue, but instead talked about his own experiences (which seemed to be the rule of the class) without playing the pronoun game. If Trump had talked about noticing women's breasts, or either of the women on the team had talked about noticing men's asses, they would have felt it entirely appropriate - but because Clay was a man talking about men, all of a sudden it's completely out of line? That's a glaring double-standard, and prevalent or not, it doesn't stand up to rational scrutiny. I think, had Adam stuck to Clay's singular "tight little Jewish boy" comment, actually quoting him correctly, Clay would have no reason to be upset. As it is, someone who had just made a big deal about being offended then tried to pin the loss on someone else's minority status. So not cool.

Personally, I think the task was lost because they had no clear lesson plan and boundaries. Adam's intro was pretty awful. "I'm uncomfortable talking about this, because I have no experience with it - but I'm going to talk about it anyway because it's...um...important?" Alla and Felisha seemed to have nothing to say other than "Have sex at the workplace - but keep it classy!" Clay was the only one who directly discussed what should have been the centerpiece of their class - sexual harrassment and the fine line that is drawn between slightly inappropriate flirtation and out-and-out illegal behavior. Unfortunately, he ventured into TMI and offensive-land big-time. Because he is a bitch - a label he probably wears proudly when dishing over overpriced drinks at JR's.

You know, I'm kind of sad that Markus is gone. Not that he deserved to stay or anything, but because he does provide entertaining WTF moments (DRINK!!)whenever he speaks. And man, talk about a bad loser. Jeez.

On the whole Adam/Clay Jewish thing: I really do think that Clay was playing off of Adam's whole nice jewish boy from atlanta thing. And for some reason I thought he refered to Adam as a tight-assed Jewish boy, which is considerably different from a tight Jewish boy. Tight-assed = uptight. Tight = Cheap. Still, Clay was an asshole. He was crude and inappropriate at the task. Really, Alla should have done the speaking. I have a feeling that if anyone understands sex in the workplace, it's her. And I say this as someone who loves here.

Randall - I love you more and more. Great public speaker. Found a totally on point topic that worked out extremely well. Rebecca, please remember this next time you're so sure "we're so screwed."

DT talking about sex icked me out enormously. Unfortunately it caused me to visualize and just... ewwwww. I mean, really, eeewwwwwww. I need some sort of brain bleach to make it go away.

I don't believe that Clay was upset at being "outed" in the board room. He's been absolutely upfront from the very beginning about his sexuality. I just think he was upset because people were telling him that he sucked.

Carolyn - your hair looked so good at the beginning of the ep and before your evening out. Please have the same person do your hair from now on for the show. You're an attractive woman, but your hair generally looks like a bunch of fluffy white cotton candy.
