By acknowledging our “differences,” maybe we can better see that at the core, there aren’t MAJOR differences — everyone who plays Survivor is as dumb and selfish as the next guy.

I don't have to watch that show, your telling of it is going to be SOOOO much better!!! Seriousy though, city officials complaining about this show only draws more attention to it, doesn't it? So their actions just had the opposite affect??? NYC, think twice this November... I laughed and laughed. I don’t have to watch that show, your telling of it is going to be SOOOO much better!!!

Purely out of journalistic curiosity of course. Ahem. Melissa, I would not turn down a nekkid picture of Probst. Purely out of journalistic curiosity of course. Ahem.

I love these shows because they show how your average person will get all back stabby and self righteous over nothing at all. Oh, and someone sent me a naked picture of Jeff Probst... good god almighty! I cannot WAIT to see this fucking train wreck.

I think it jumped the shark long ago That said - I think this is a little TOO MUCH. Like who had this idea? and my only question for them would be WHY. If it is ratings and viewers maybe they will get it. And my fellow white man will probably suck LOL I have not watched it since after the first one. I think it jumped the shark long ago

Personally it doesn't bother me, the way they've divided the teams......it happens in everyday life, this just makes people feel uncomfortable because it's called out now. As a Caucasian, I'm voting for another team because I think your stereo-typing is spot on. Of course to actually vote, I'd have to watch the show but I've got roller derby practice on Thursday nights. I laughed so hard I snorted.

So they're dividing people into races. It's a game and they're still going to eat each other alive at the end. Won't matter what color they are. That's human nature when $1,000,000 is on the line.
