I Can't Pick You For My Team

I didn't watch the controversial "Survivor" show tonight.

I am still wondering how the idea got pass the boardroom. I'm wondering what they are trying to prove, or if there is a virtue that is to be gotten out of creating teams based on race.

What did you guys think of this season's "Survivor" format?

  • I think that the spirit in which they showed it yesterday is okay. It will be a huge ratings boon for them so I see why they are doing it. The show needed some spicing up I guess.

  • Honestly, I don't see the 'controversy'. I only ever wtched season two of Survivor (due to a roommate at the time who was hooked on it), but I have heard the 'news'.

    The teams are based on race. So?

    Last year, I believe, it was a 'boys against girls' scenario. Where was the outcry then?

    I don't believe there's anything malicious behind it, just the studio trying to keep a weak idea afloat by shanking up the format.

  • I haven't the slightest clue!
    In some ways I'm really glad that me and the real world rarely collide!

  • I'm completely opposed to it.

    This so-called "Reality T.V." is a pointless endeavor, unworthy of our time. Not even realistic in the least.

  • I didnt watch it either, but it's mildly enraging. If they want ethnic diversity, have it, thats fine. But dont segregate them into distinctive groups. What does that teach anyone?? That we cant live, and work together with other cultures as a team...

    I, as a general rule, like Survivor...but this one, out of principle, I wont watch. I refuse to support anything that makes people aware of their race, and seperates them because of it...

  • yeah, I pretty much think they're a bunch of idiots too.

  • Race based teams..? no comment. Not a pleasant idea where being different is not funny any more. But one has not watched the show, and has no background, and so there will be no comment!

  • I think it is interesting. I will be amused at how the teams merge after being split by race.

  • I havn't watched that show since the second season, it's played out. They are trying anything to create "controversy" I will actually watch Gay vs. Straight survivor or Athiests vs. Bible Beaters survivor but not race survivor.

  • I don't watch it
