Survivor:racial views
when I heard that they were going to seperate into races I sooooo thought it was going to cause a stir in the media. This morning all I heard on the radio was the asians won bc they are like this, the African Americans lost bc they are like that...why would they start such a controversy? Maybe that was the point I guess. Do you think it makes the ratings skyrocket bc people are intrigued by controversy?

Re: Survivor:racial views
I admit, I have not watched in quite a while because I was bored with it. But I watched last night because I was curious.
I think that it's ridiculous for people in the media and otherwise to say that this group will succeed because they are like ___, etc. Regardless of race, they're all individuals. And there has never been such a diverse cast before, which I think is a good thing.

Do you think the ratings are going to continue to go up? I personally found yesterdays epsiode really boring! I also heard it only got 2 stars. I think they thought it was gonna skyrocket when its an actual bomb!

i think this went way too far. talk about stooping low for ratings. not that i watched it before but now i really wont be watching it. i dont know, but this concept really rubbed me the wrong way.

Re: Survivor:racial views
I heard on the radio that some people thought it was FIXED in such a way to make races fit into stereotypes...like giving asians puzzles...they said they were bound to be the first to finish. I think everything this show does this season is going to be said to be fixed....I think survivors going to go downhill fast!

i always find the first few episodes boring...
but i dunno...i think they might drop off a little
and then when it does the show will pull out some drama to feed the ratings
sad really
