Wow, not sure what to make of this. There's probably going to be some kind of a backlash.

BAD JOKE TIME:
1. God help the whites, blacks, and Hispanics if they make all challenges math-based.
2. If all the white people are in one tribe, how can they exploit and double-cross the other people?

There's these three guys walking on the beach, a spic, a white guy, and a black guy.

Nigger.

8/23/2006 10:59:38 PM

fucking horrible... yet, i'm intrigued. i bet the shows ratings are going to be craaaaaaazy. i've never watched survivor, but i might this season.

8/23/2006 11:10:09 PM

so wait they are on the cook islands and one team is all blacks god help them if there is a swimming challenge.

[/stereotype]

but in all honesty last year their were 4 tribes and they merged to two after like 1 or 2 episodes.

8/23/2006 11:26:37 PM

Will the white team get guns and smallpox blankets?

8/24/2006 12:30:43 AM

great idea!!!

8/24/2006 12:43:00 AM

toss some eskimos in the mix

8/24/2006 2:21:43 AM

on 1 or 2 seasons they have divided the tribes by gender...

they have done it by age also...

i guess the contestants don't have a problem with it, if so, then we would have heard something about it a long time ago... they are done filming the entire thing except for the final vote results which are done live during the last episode.

so you are saying that the type of person that would put themselves in the situations that people on survivor are placed into for money and pseudo-fame are going to argue over a situation such as this segregation on their way to the money and air time?

i mean, they are already degrading themselves physically, why would this be a big deal to someone with that mindset?

another show i wont watch

If you had actually listened to the clip, the whole fucking thing was dripping in sarcasm.

8/24/2006 9:25:34 AM

haha of COURSE they are going to argue.

Look at all the reality TV shows. Do you think they pick stable sane people? First off to even want to be on this show you have to have an overstated form of greed, need to be known, camera hog, or just plain nuts.

Not that any of the above are wrong but that's the basis. Look at Real World. jesus mother of god those are some fucked up people. The calmest of them all would still be considered out there by most of us.

They pick the people that would intermingle and have issues. Picking people who get along wouldn't get ratings.

Now lets throw in the race card. segregate them... see how different races act together. Do you act differently at work than when you play? Same difference. I'm not going as far to say that the African Americans will own the shit outta Caucasions in a corn bred eating contest... but I bet that there's going to be vastly different societies developing.

This is the first time since the first survivor that I might actually watch it.

8/24/2006 9:36:58 AM

So many of them since Season 1 have turned into bullshit that I got tired of it. I watched a couple seasons here and there after Season 1, but it was the best, because nobody really knew what to expect and what to do on it. With this development though, I think I will tune in again. Before it was a random splitting up thing that didn't always feel like it had balance, but now I guyss it will be like 1 old man and woman, and 1 young man and woman for each race. This will give them all some parity, and simply see the interaction between races and amongst themselves.

As a black or other minority this is probably the most even its ever been for them, because before it was usually like 6 hot young white bitches, 6 young white studs, 2 old white guys, 1 old white lady, and then 1 black guy, 1 black girl, and maybe 1 asian or hispanic guy or girl. Now the whites will be just 25% of the total cast. This is the list of winners racially:

6 white guys
4 white ladies
1 black lady
1 latino lady

So if your of a minority race this might seem like its highlighting race more, which is true, but its also giving you a MUCH greater chance of winning too, so I wouldn't complain a fucking bit. Instead of just being the token black guy or asian lady, now you've got other people like you, so you don't feel like your the fucking outcast in the tribe, and the sacrificial lamb at tribal council.

Also funny to note that of these winners, one white guy (Hatch) is in prison, another got fired from his job for lying about why he wanted the time off, and another is in jail under charges he killed a tame bear in a cage with a bow and arrow. Crazy crackas. Haha.

8/24/2006 10:24:05 AM

I want to meet the guy thats wearing the skull shirt. I bet he's a real badass.

The guy at the bottom left looks like a total douche, too.

I bet he makes the final 4.

those are the best looking hispanics ive ever seen.

this show would be better if the asians were actually little asian dudes and the latinos were mexians they picked up at a construction site.

For the first battle of the sexes Survivor, the people didn't know ahead of time that they were going to be separated boys vs girls. I don't know what they're doing for this one though.

As for swimming, the producers could just make it a requirement that contestants know how to swim. I'm sure there's plenty of black ppl that can swim and want to be on TV.

Jesus Christ I hate media matters. IT WAS A FUCKING JOKE! And he said the white tribe was least likely to win. Did that make the news? no.

Shut the fuck up with you and your biased nonsources.

If there is anything that reality TV has taught us, its that people are always willling to trade their dignity for $$ if the price is right.

He said it with a giant fucking grin laughing his ass off.

And yes, I was watching the video of it.

He also made fun of Robin Williams and pokes fun at uppity douchebags like you that have to make everything a political issue.

Must be getting to you.

Wait, people watch Survivor still? I figured the general public would have realized that this show is fucking retarded a few years ago.

8/26/2006 11:46:02 AM

no

people don't watch survivor

that's why they're racially segregating tribes
