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

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 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!)Stern Smile
 
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!

I strongly agree with Rideout on this one.

I wouldn't watch it... but not because of the race - based teams... I just dont like Survivor...

Who cares if they split up the races? It's not like any one race is being treated worse than the other... They're equal but separate... just like real f***ing life.

The past few years we've seen quite a few shows like this come by, and getting worse. We knew it was coming though, ever since Stephen King wrote "The running man" and "The long walk" (he wrote using his pseudonym Richard Bachman).

Ti's sick but true, and I'll never see this show - even if it does make it to Europe.

I was NEVER into so-called reality shows.  Try and make me believe that if you take a handful of nobodies, put them in front of cameras and tell them they are going to be seen by millions of people on a weekly basis, they will act as they do in their everyday lives?  Give me a break.  Anyone into reality shows needs to go out a little, get a life or something...

That is really not very nice. I though humanity (and especially the United States) had gotten over this racial segregation thing. Pretty scary news.

This is intresting, but at the same time, just plain wrong.  It's obviously purely racial, and a major push at the ratings hike.
