Ive seen many bathings in the river and stripping for chocolate.<BR/><BR/>Rod's statement cracked me up!<BR/><BR/>Here's a thought...if they want to add more people of color to television just do it. You don't have to create a special season to accomplish this. What scares me the most is it won't be thought provoking television, but just reinforcing stereotypes and generalizations of people. I will probably watch the first couple of episodes to see how they spins this and if they can pull it off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-1156437753153225472006-08-24T10:42:00.000-06:002006-08-24T10:42:00.000-06:00As a faithful Survivor fan (I haven't missed an ep...As a faithful Survivor fan (I haven't missed an episode since the first season), I look forward to what the producers will do with this. It may be a little shocking to call out teams by race, but it will likely lead to some good discussion and insight on the show. <BR/><BR/>In the past, when the producers have chosen to segregate the Survivors - whether is was male/female in <A HREF="http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor6/show/episode01/s6story.shtml" REL="nofollow">Season 6</A> or young/old <A HREF="http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor12/show/ep01/" REL="nofollow">last season</A> - it was done in a lighthearted way, with great results. In Season 6, the women, assuming (correctly) that the men thought that they would be easy to beat, rallied and destroyed the men. In Season 12, again the perceived underdogs (both Older Men and Older Women) rallied to prove that they weren't to be underestimated.<BR/><BR/>We could see that again with this season. Perhaps our views on the strengths and/or weaknesses of these group will be challenged and changed. Or maybe not. It is just television, after all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09399009837735161833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-1156437319672481932006-08-24T10:35:00.000-06:002006-08-24T10:35:00.000-06:00The son-of-a-bitch of it is that "Survivor" has be...The son-of-a-bitch of it is that "Survivor" has been that rare show where race/sexuality is reliably absent for the most part.
