New 'Survivor' divides groups by race

2 hours, 49 minutes ago

Get ready for a segregated "Survivor." Race will matter on the upcoming season of the CBS show as contestants will be divided into four tribes by ethnicity. That means blacks, whites, Latinos and Asians in separate groups.

The announcement was made on CBS' Early Show. Host Jeff Probst says the idea "actually came from the criticism that 'Survivor' was not ethnically diverse enough." He says the twist fits in perfectly with what "Survivor" does, saying the show is "a social experiment. And this is adding another layer to that experiment." Probst says contestants had mixed reactions to the racial divisions.

This time the new Survivors are stranded on the Cook Islands in the South Pacific. The castaways include a police officer, a heavy metal guitarist, an attorney and a nail salon manager. The new season of Survivor debuts September 14th.

Think they need to do a Survivor in Antartica. In the summertime though.

That'll be interesting. I haven't watched Survivor in a few years, I'll have to check this one out.

let the stereotypes begin!

asians will be too busy creating a coconut that fulfills hunger with just one bite.

latinos will be too busy partying.

blacks will be chilling on the beach, somehow acquiring a boombox and tunes.

whites will be paranoid and building massive fences around their shelter.

From the movie thread

Poseidon-a waterslide has more thrills than this pos. 1.5/5

it's lame, not entertaining, the characters are annoying and the action/thrills are meh. Drinking during the movie is a must and emmy rossum is hot (kurt russell's daughter in the movie)

The majority of the immunity challenges are based on athleticism.
I pick the African-Americans to win.....unless Survivor introduces new challenges such as Scrabble, Soduku, etc etc, then the "playing field" will be much more "even"

LMAO! Every now and then when I need a quick laugh I just pop in that dvd just to watch that scene. "We ain't found shit!"

The water challenges have given it's share of bad times for the AF Americans.

Jack, I think that we should have a pick the winner contest before the new season starts. The Survivor web site usually has all the contestants that are participating and their age with their occupatation.
