What the fuck?! Have you heard about the new Survivor?
I don't watch the show as it is. I watched the first episode of the first season. That's all. I make fun of the show. But, my friends....this is the second worst idea for a reality show (the first would be allowing this idiot decide what happens to a racial diverse group of people living together isolated from the real world).
I hope Probst has something more in mind than just having black on white on Asian on Latino crime. And did you read some of the things Probst said about the show? This one kills me. "Probst says contestants had mixed reactions to the racial divisions." No shit! Really? Could it be that the people who find this disturbing were against it and those willing to pay the $35 membership fee to join the KKK were all for it? Maybe? Could be?
Wow! Mark Burnett must really be hard up for the money (yeah, that was a joke) that he's willing to stress relationships between an already divided world. Stupid fucker!
If you watch this show, don't talk to me. Seriously, I'm not kidding.
Most of the major advertisers have pulled their sponsorship of this program: GM, Coke and others. The sponsors say it is not because of the race issue, but I am thinking it is. Why would they do such a stupid thing?

It is so wrong yet not at all shocking. THis country is so racially backward that nothing surprises me anymore. Actually I think the fact that so many people are talking about it is just what the producers want. The show has been declining in popularity since the first season and they needed some attention. It's working, I heve never seen the show and am talking about it. Damn.

My mom and I were literally just talking about this. I think its absolutely the WORST thing they could do... I mean really, do we really need to racially divide people anymore than we already do? Especially for entertainment, I personally just don't think its going to be fun to watch.
