 No, I won't watch it.
I wouldn't watch Survivor before this, either -- "Reality" TV with a bunch of rude, backstabbing, preening wannabes is not my idea of time well spent. Get a life! (Give me some good acting and writing ANY DAY!) 
I certainly won't watch this racially-segregated Survivor, either. This is a concept that Hitler, and Apartheid-era South Africa would have loved -- if they could have been guaranteed the "right" results!
Just what the world needs -- more "us" and "them" tribalization!  Sick. 
 Uh oh -- political topic! I'm outta here!

I already hate Survivor enough for helping create my generations corporate conformity and mindless media derived culture, but now I hate it ten times more. As Peter said, this is not helping cease the racial divsions that plague America. I can't imagine how it could be anymore racist to the point where the NAACP are bombing the studio.
I strongly agree with Peter on this one.

 It's nice to be in agreement, Wizard, but please, call me "Peter."

I don't exactly get what the Survivor is about, but I'm gathering that it's divided by race

 Exactly! Or is it: Pus pus pus pus pus.... and phlegm phlegm phlegm phlegm phlegm... !
 There -- I've just ruined a lovely, classic song for you forever! Mwa ha ha haaaa! You'll never hear it the same again!
But seriously,
Peter Gabriel said it very well:
There's safety in numbers
When you learn to divide
How can we be in
If there is no outside
All shades of opinion
Feed an open mind
But your values are twisted
Let us help you unwind
You may look like we do
Talk like we do
-But you know how it is
You're not one of us
Not one of us
No you're not one of us

I never felt inclined to watch survivor in the first place.
