Why didn't they call them the White team, the Black team, etc., instead of these silly tribe names that you can't remember. The black women should have kicked out the 3rd woman, not the leading male. Didn't understand that move. Why not send a member of the leading Asian team to Exile Island instead of the chicken catcher. I didn't understand that.

Good point Newman, they should have gone with: Black, White, etc. But you know they won't keep this separation or division for more than one more show and then when they switch up the groups, the White, Black, etc wouldn't be accurate anymore. I think the Black team did make a mistake booting the guy this early. I also think the Black team and the White team had a disadvantage cuz the otehr two teamsother teams had 3 guys and 2 women. This early I think that (physical strength) matters... (after all, they were the 2 bottom teams)

Loved the show! I think the dynamics this season are going to be off the wall. A jerk is a jerk...no matter the tribe.

I think the 2 black guys & 2 women should have joined forces and booted Stephanie.

LOL Newman. I found the show very entertaining. They seem to have a great group of contestants. One thing that I found interesting was how the different teams joked and made comments about stereotypes associated with their own group. They seemed very open about it.

I liked the show. I told hubby early on, that I'd probably gravitate toward the Asians. (I just didn't tell him that I thought Yul was really hot.) I found Cowboy absolutely fascinating, and he could tell me stories all day. And the gals were hard workers too. I might have to walk around with a goofy red line on my forehead, but I wouldn't have headaches. The white folks just weren't my kind of people, and I'd probably be too tempted to strangle Jonathan in his sleep. (What's with guys named Jonathan?) What was with them not using the palm fronds for cover if they were cold? I thought that the right decision was made on the eviction. They had a good point. Seiko had assumed a leadership role and had proven to be an ineffective leader. The only way to change leaders was to evict him. It wasn't like he was ever going to step down and allow someone else especially a female to lead. I loved it when they showed him blowing hot air about when he made fire they had better keep it going...and Stephanie came back with...We don't have any fire. Seiko had a very high opinion of his capabilities that may have been either highly exagerated on his part...or at least over rated. He sure could talk the talk...but he just wasn't able to walk to walk. So best send him walking right out of there. It was the right move.

"I think the 2 black guys & 2 women should have joined forces and booted Stephanie." It was the mistake of the 2 guys. They should have approached the other 2 women and said, look we need to boot 1 person etc etc Having said that, the 2 women that were closer probably also didnt like how the 2 guys behaved when asked to pick 1 member from the other tribes to send to exile island. The 2 guys made the decisions without consulting the women.

I didn't understand Stephanie's choice either. Sundra didn't seem to bring anything to the tribe. Seiko at least tried. it is always a mistake to vote out the strongest players this early. it could cost them. have to say I also found myself routing for the Asian and Hispanic Tribes (yea, like any of us are gonna be able to remember the tribe names). Yule is *hot*. Ozzy is adorable. I also found no one of the caucasian tribe that was remotely enjoyable. Cannot stand Jonathan. Kao Boi will be gone early. and I can't believe I'm typing "asian" "hispanic" and "caucasian" tribes. This concept still reeks to me, but I'm giving it a chance, being a loyal Survivor viewer since day 1.

Oh, I'm glad I checked out this thread. I thought he said karma is abysmal. ha ha. And I thought that was a strange statement but perhaps true. But, no....Karma is a bizzle. Never heard that before. Whatever.

I really liked that Asian-American team. Did we even see much of the Latina/Latino team? Nothing about the Caucasian team is compelling to me at all. Sorry to see Sekou go...he had some entertainment value, even though they showed him talking breaks. It will be interesting to see if the African-American team can get to work AS a team! Cao Boi is certainly an interesting character. I wish I knew how to push "bad wind" out of my head. LOL!

I found I gravitated toward the Asian-American team and the Latina/Latino teams. They were interesting people and well, there's some cute guys there, too. heh heh I can't remember the name of the tribes nor which tribe is which! It will probably take me until they whittle it down to 2 tribes. LOL

Interesting to read everybody's comments and especially that the "Whitey's", to quote Flicka from the show, were not very interesting, nor were they entertaining. But it begs the question...did people expect them to be fun and entertaining? Did people assume from the first press release about the show's division by race, that the White tribe would be portrayed in a more positive light? Did the producer's "dumb down" their edit to ease some people's cynicism about the whole "experiment". Did the producer's go out of their way to make the White tribe look boring and uninteresting...given the fact that there was an outcry from some quarters about the segregation issue? I thought there were good and bad on each tribe and would Cao Boi's comment's and stereotyping hs own tribe have gone over if say the white tribe or the Black tribe had made them? I think the tribes will only be separated by race for maybe one or two more episodes. Then what? How will they determine to mix the tribes? Take a few from each and make two bigger tribes or will they merely merge say the Asians with the Whites and the Blacks with the Latinos...it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

The white folks just weren't my kind of people Reading this thread has been a HOOT! With remarks like "The white folks just weren't my kind of people" ............ I'm DYING over here!!!!!! I also want to go on record as saying I like the Asian team best ......... I think it was the editing. They edited Yul to look hot. Ha ha.

Like many, I too gravitated to the Asian team. So far, they are the most interesting people on the show. Cowboy is out there, however, I like his spirit!!

ROFL.. reading the comments! My DH said while watching he hoped they didn't make all the white people look like dimwits. I forget who did what when he made that comment, but one of the caucasian tribe did something really stupid. heh heh Maybe it was when Flicka (My friend Flicka.. I keep thinking of that show w/the horse. LOL)let the chickens loose and none of them could catch them. When they were doing the challenge, I had a hard time tell which team was which, meaning their physical appearances didn't stand out to me. Interesting.

I think they made the right choice on the eviction. Sekou and the other male had taken control of the tribe without having the skills to do it, and I don't think the women could have ever got on an equal footing without make that eviction. Unless the next competition needs brawn (which it may well do) they made a good decision. I'd swap a red mark for a headache any day! I got the impression the African-American team had more to lose than the others (emotionally), or maybe they just expressed it more. They immediately thought they had to represent as a team. The others seemed to take the separation as more of an interesting twist than an additional burden.

Stephanie picked the wrong side in the voting. She should have made an alliance with the men and voted out Sundra to give herself some safety in the future. With Sekou now gone, there's only one male member of that tribe left. Rebecca and Sundra are now a team and if they lose again, they won't want to get rid of Nathan in case future competitions require his brawn. Stephanie will be the next to be voted out from her tribe if they lose before a merge.

I was disappointed in the way Jeff helped the 'white' tribe. IMO he should have waited till they were all at the top and had lit their fire, thinking they were all finished, till he told them about the compass pieces needing to be on the vertical wall with the ladder rungs. That was part of the challenge - remembering all parts. Had he not told them as they were all still around the bottom and climbing up then they might have come last. He helped them not come last, IMO. DH agreed. At the end of the day, though, I think the right person got voted out. He seemed lazy to us.

LOL! I found it interesting that Cao Boi pointed out that younger generations have forgotten the old cures. I can't wait to see more of him. Jonathan mentioned his family so I'm going to keep an eye on him as a possible fav. Plus, he's eye candy. Sekou, was going to be my fav this year, but he's gone. =( Least fav right now is Flicka. I have a feeling that Sundra and Rebecca are going to be a force to reckon with. Sekou was right about going after them. Stephanie and Nate should have listened to him. IMO.

I think Cao Boi is my favorite, he just needs to lay off the racial jokes. But he has alot of wisdom that I admire. I have mixed feelings bout Sekou being voted off because they may need his strength, even though he was winded trying to make fire, we don't know what other stuff he may have done round camp. But who knows they may persevere. All in all I enjoyed the first show it was just too short lol.
