"Steamed Survivor Boss: "It's Not Racial at All" Mark Burnett has spoken, lambasting media mavens who are ranting about the latest wrinkle — racially segregated tribes — on a reality show many of them probably don't actually watch. "People are saying things who have never seen Survivor, and don’t understand how it works," Burnett said during a conference call for another project (AOL's Gold Rush), disregarding the publicist's directive that he not be asked to discuss Survivor. "By putting people in tribes, they clearly have to get rid of people of their own ethnicity, so it's not racial at all." "

Yeah he's right... except in order to kick someone out of your own tribe you have to lose to all the other races. It'll be interesting to see how things go when the tribes merge towards the end and the finalists have to deal with the jury.

SPATIAL REASONING, DO YOU HAVE IT?

9/14/2006 8:37:35 PM

chalk one up to the slave getting back at the master

9/14/2006 8:41:20 PM

Oh, those darkies were mad about losing their chickens.

9/14/2006 8:41:38 PM

you know you don't get between a nigga and his chicken

9/14/2006 8:43:56 PM

NO THE BOAT IS A TRAP!!!!

9/14/2006 8:49:56 PM

what did the guy say karma was...i couldnt understand him

9/14/2006 9:04:11 PM

the white guy stole the chicken from the asian tribe...

but the african-american tribe didn't like it, so that is why they sent the white guy to exile island...it wasn't their chicken in the first place, but they still didn't like it..

and he said "karma is abysmal"

hahaha this show is going to be so heavy on the stereotypes

the hispanics were the quickest at assembling the boat
the asians finished the puzzle first and won the challenge
the blacks didn't like the whites getting more than they did (the chicken)
the whites person is trying to figure out why the black guys didn't like him

9/14/2006 9:40:06 PM

Asians...all they way.

9/14/2006 10:49:17 PM

Racially segregated Survivor?

We already played this game, it's called Earth

9/15/2006 12:47:11 AM

have the asians invented black powder only to have it turned into weapons by the whites yet? While the blacks just sit there in their own tribe doing nothing?

(hispanics don't really fit into history, if you go back farther than the last few hundred years the whites and hispanics are the same group)

9/15/2006 1:30:28 AM

I really thought that he said "Karma is a bizzle" i.e. saying bitch, but in an izzle sort of way.

besides, saying "karma is abysmal" makes no sense.

9/15/2006 8:53:30 AM

None of the Hispanics look Hispanic.

Well it should make for an interesting season. Last one was dull as could be.

9/15/2006 9:27:25 AM

exile island is so small compared to last season
i hope high tide doesnt wash them away

9/15/2006 10:22:25 AM

^Ya. He could probably dig a few feet everywhere on the island during his stay.

9/15/2006 11:09:35 AM

ah ha, the black people lost

and that dumb bitch voted out the guy when she knows the other 2 girls are bonding

9/15/2006 11:11:24 AM

Yeah, I was thinking to myself, the black people really screwed themselves. Oh well, lets go asians!

9/15/2006 11:25:28 AM

the has been one of the funniest threads in recent memory to read

9/15/2006 11:30:57 AM

Voting out one of you better players never works out well until the merge is near. They will be lucky now if 2 of them make it to the jury.

Any guesses on how long they stay in 4 tribes? I can't see them staying this way very long since the tribes are so small. I think they'll only do 3 segments at most.

The crazy old asian dude will be fun to watch.

I heard "a bizzle" also

9/15/2006 8:37:25 PM

Do the winners have to pay reparations to the losing tribes?

9/18/2006 9:42:43 AM

They have to pay taxes, so in a way...

9/18/2006 9:52:32 AM

lol gg

9/18/2006 10:13:01 AM

an intelligent yet risky ploy for ratings. it definitely worked.

9/19/2006 2:34:52 AM

It's a smart move on the behalf of Survivor. The ratings have dropped immensly since the first season...hell, I haven't watched the show since.

They're taking advantage of America's concern for alway being politically correct and sensitive about the race issue to avoid offending anyone...and they're going to get A LOT of views. I'll even watch a few of the episodes, and I don't give a flying fuck about most reality TV anymore.

9/19/2006 8:55:00 PM

If they can segregate by age and by sex on past seasons, its only fair to segregate by race.

What they need to do next is religions... but the Muslims will keep on declaring jihad and "voting" other tribes people off the island.

9/20/2006 10:31:21 AM

"Ahmed, we need you to row this boat with explosives to the Catholic campground!"

9/20/2006 2:45:07 PM

two koreans and a mexican

this is the second episode i've seen...the first being the premiere. interesting case study

12/17/2006 9:32:31 PM

FUCK YEAH. GET IT YUL
