So what do you think of the new survivor?

They are going to divide the tribes up by race because the show was failing, so they think this will bring back viewers. I'm posting here because I think it would turn into flamebait on GD.

I find it really dispicable. If they were going to include more minorities, they should have divided them equally among the tribes. Of course, it wouldn't make the show as edgy, or divisive, or yes I have to say it, as racist.

1. I've never watched a minute of that show, but, hafta say,

this doesn't surprise me in the least.

It's disgusting.

2. I heard about it in a thread here at DU

And people seemed pretty disgusted with the whole idea. It has to be some freeper executives' idea. I do not think a decent DIRECTOR would come up with such bigotry.

3. It's kind of like putting in the Crips, the Bloods and the Aryan

brotherhood, and whatever the name of the big Asian gang is against each other, because I feel that is the way it's going to play out.

Of course this show is scripted and not real at all. It's that the players aren't actors so the show gets away with not paying the scale for wages.

5. It's a very creepy reflection of what this culture is doing.

Pitting people against each other with bigotry AND ripping them off at the same time.
