some crazy survivor news...
ok. this will be my last reality TV post this month. I swear. BUT did you guys hear what the heck is going on with Survivor this Fall?
Survivor 2006 will consist of castaways that will be organized into four tribes and divided along ethnic lines (African-American, Asian-American, Hispanic and White). WHAT? I think that is freaking ridiculous. People are people. Love sees no color. This show is going back in time where people were judged by the way they looked. Not only will this cause toxic turmoil between the tribes but it will also fuel debates and controvery between Survivor fans.
I am all for creativity and twists but this has gone too far. No matter how politically correct you think through this, the conclusion is the same: This is not right for syndication.
Will I watch this season? Of course. I'm no fool. But I am going to watch to see how all this unfolds. Lastnight, Neil and I had our friends Jenn and Carlos over. We were all talking about the show and how crazy it's going to get. Then Neil said, "I hope they have a African-American like Carlton."
and to his point, I hope that the tribes within each ethnicity are dynamic and diverse. I would hate to have each ethnicity misrepresented by the survivor groups. Now, my next point is, how come they didn't have a PERSIAN team on there? I mean come on. Persian men are hilarious, Persian women are fine as hell (duh just look at me) and it would be funny to see them compete.
Be there to see it happen:
