I wonder if this will affect the Pagonging that has been so prevalent in past games. Lets say after a few ejections, the tribes are shuffled and new tribes made. Will the players be loyal to their original ethnic tribes? Or will some other bonding emerge? Interesting social experiment, this.

i'm not sure i'm going to watch this. i usually wait to see which tribe i like the best, but already this time i'm leaning to rooting for the asians because snickle is chinese-canadian. the fact that i'm leaning towards one group before the season starts bugs me.

After reading this thread, I just became A/A, does that mean I can apply for business grants as an A/A woman? They aren't going to believe me when they look at me. I have a lot of different drops in me.

I'm going to watch the show before I form any opinions. I have great faith in the modern person, who is overall more sensitive to racial issues than the people of past decades. The ignorant/arrogant/stupid bus driver who told the black children to go to the back of the bus so that white children could sit in the front of the bus is an unfortunate reality in our world. I am hopeful that some of the people who are like that bus driver will watch this show, and if any of them are able to comprehend anything beyond the depth of their own belly-buttons, that they will see that the strategy accross the board will be fairly similar regardless of race. They will see that the social structure is basically the same accross the board. Hopefully, this show will begin by focusing on our racial differences, but will ultimately show that we are truely part of the single human race. There are differences based on our life experiences, and they shape who we all are. I think that we are all better people than we are being given credit for being.

Totally off topic, I'm sure, but.....my 14 year old daughter told me I just HAD TO contact CBS with her current observation: Our last name is Cook, as in Cook Islands, and we have four children, one Caucasian, one Asian, one A/A and one Hispanic. She feels totally connected to this show already! LOL I did send a comment to CBS but I doubt that I will ever get any response from them. However, should I get one, I'll share with you all.

Auntiemike - my granddaughter is all that rolled into one. LOL Her birth mother is Japanese/Irish, her birth father is AA/Latino. Add to that she is being raised by her new mother, my daughter, who is Jewish, and my wonderful son-in-law who is Danish-American. She is a regular United Nations all by herself. I may be prejudiced, but the combination is incredibly beautiful.

What team will she root for??? LOL I'm sure she is beautiful. How can you miss with that combination! Anyway, I'm going to have to keep our household from being divided and root for ALL the teams.

All kids are cool, but Auntiemike gets four times the fun that we do. Now, if only I can convince my daughter to adopt some more. LOL BTW, she doesn't watch survivor, she just started watching TAR last year, but she isn't old enough for Survivor. She still goes "YUK" when she sees barely dressed men/women and we want to keep it that way as long as possible.

Did anyone see Rosie on the View yesterday talking about Rebecca who is on the AA team - kinda longish braids. She said she is a make-up person for the View and she's been trying to bribe her to tell her all about this Survivor but she won't say a word. Hysterical comments from Rosie who is an avid Survivor fan.

Burnett should have added a Native American tribe. He's got everyone covered but Natives.

There are quite a lot of people not covered, two big groups that are missing are Arabs and Indians (Asian, not American), generalising of course. I don't really see what the fuss/furor has been all about it. I think it will be very interesting socially, but I just can't see what's so shocking about it. I like the Cook family! What a coincidence! I doubt CBS will pay much attention, but you're good promotion for the show!

I think someone posted the TV guide clip on youtube. Anyway I think this is a great twist beinging some diversity to a show that has been predomonently Caucasian in the past. The only thing that bugs me is I heard they were getting people off myspace. Come'on people, I had a profile up..... what did they have that I didn't.....anyways back to topic.. I don't see why everyone is making such a big to do about it.

I've decided this year to pick a few players from different teams to support rather than one team.

I am going to do what I always do--root for my favorites regardless of gender, age, or skin color. Go nifty people!
