I heard the next Survivor series is going to be racially based, is that true?
 

People were calling into one of the local radio stations here a few days ago about this, most were complaining about the racial aspect the show is using this time around.

Apparently there will be a team of all Asians, a team of all whites, one comprised of all blacks..... I haven't looked at the show's site though, but if it's true I wonder what everyone here thinks of the concept?

It sounds interesting to me if done right, but I'm not one to freak out about such things right off the hop without seeing it first-hand. I'm no fan of playing the race card or crying racism at the drop of a hat.

hahahah that would be awesome!

yea that's one of there ideas, its taking a lot of shit but it looks like their going to go with racially segregated tribes..

i hate that fucking show but i just caught the news cast about an hour ago

Can we put these same groups of people on an island, with no water hole. And 1 AK-47 per person?

Now thats a real survivor series.

Thanks for the update.

Sounds like contraversy is a-brewing, ratings will go through the roof.

hey
all the publicity it's generating
i'm try to get my sig in there.. whore it out

lol :thumbsup

thats it man, ratings.

Imagine how many people will watch that. After the first season or so, Survivor became a boring ass show.

This will be worth watching.

Survivor needs a good yet risky twist to bring back alot of viewers. Its the same old shit right now

Yup, there it is... http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor13/

"20 people divided into 4 groups...
hispanics
blacks
asians
whites"

Click on the video preview here ---> http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor13/

so the hispanics will sleep & be late for the challenges

the blacks will win all the straight physical ones

the asians will win all the knowledge ones

the whites will pay off the blacks & asians to throw the contest

If there's a couple of closet biggots in the mix it should make for a fucking good series.

I'll definitely be watching. :D

Yeah it should be great, I love Survivor honestly. Maybe the best game show ever.

But on the racial thing. You know, survivor is about getting along with everyone else so you dont get booted out. It's not about separating, it's about merging. It's about alliances, and mutual advantage. ie: you dont need to like someone to be their ally, there only needs to be a mutually beneficial goal. Could there be a social lesson in there? I guess maybe.

I think it's a great idea, and people like politicians who want to ban it look to me like they'd rather just keep the status quo. Very shortsighted.

If you're one for spoilers, it appears that the Asian tribe will be the team to beat in the first few episodes. The spoiler community tells me that they are kicking butt! But like anything else in Survivor (except in some seasons), the leading teams of the first few episodes are usually the ones who suffer in the second half of the season. Hope not.

But that Korean chick is hot!

BTW, check out the new season of Amazing Race, they now have Asian Indian dudes and Muslim contestants! Diversity seems the name of the game nowadays.

Yeah but the sponsors are pulling out of it. GM just cancelled their sponsorship

LOL :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Well said, I could not agree more.

People bitching about it so far seem foolish.

GM, huh? Then Honda and Mitsubishi will take its place.

that show gets more and more retarded every year. i believe this year will be no exception.

I stopped watching that show years ago, amazing that it is still around

It's still a force to be reckoned with on Thursday night.

Ratings must be going down.. they are getting desperate.

They should have a tribe of homos

It's totally true and with all the bad press they'll be seeing more viewers than ever. Controversy sells. Their auto sponsor pulled their ads but they claim it has nothing to do with the race issue, just that it was time to make a change.

Cyn

So you'll be watching then? :D

I'm having a hard time believing their reason. Survivor has been an advertiser's wet dream since day one of it's inception, and GM has gotten a ton of value out of their involvement. A ton.

First rule of business: don't fix what ain't broke..... unless you're trying to distance yourself and your company from perceived racial controversy that is. :1orglaugh

yeah it will definitely make for some interesting viewing this time round!
