I always root for the individual player as opposed to a team. Some have great personalities and some are real oddballs...

Hi everyone. Now that BBAllStars is over I can spend some time in the Survivor and TAR areas.

I am hoping that the racial division for the tribes shows that not all people from certian racial groups are alike. Yes we are similar to others with the same cultural background, but just because 2 people are Asian or(insert any ethnic group here) does not mean they think or behave the same.

Maybe I am to idealistic but that is what I hope to see.

I found an article which asks Mark Burnett what he was thinking dividing tribes this way.

Here is the link to the yahoo artcile (may be posted somewhere already but I didnt see it).

Just to quickly revisit the whole "actors from Cali" thing: I always assumed that the majority of people with "regular jobs" (like me) wouldn't be able or willing to chuck their career to be gone for all that time. Same thing with families...I think it would be impossible for a lot of people to walk away from their children for that kind of extended period of time. Thus you wind up with a small pool of people for whom it is a "dream" and therefore they are willing to make extreme sacrifices, or single, out of work actors who don't have those types of ties.

Who cares how they divide them up in the beginning - last yr. it was old men, old women, young men, & young women. They have to start some where. Survivor is my all time most favorite reality show no matter how you look at it.

I'm so excited....it seems FOREVER ago that there was last a Survivor on. I'm excited about how they're dividing up by race, and personally, I don't see what the big deal is! Why is everyone so up in arms? Dividing groups by ethnicity for a competition such as this is harmless, IMO!

No one complained when they divided them up by men or women, or by ages, or by both! But now, we have them divided by race, and all of a sudden we have a hot potato. I don't get it! IMO, it's not derogatory whatsoever. Are we trying to conceal the fact that different races exist in this world?

The controversy surrounding this decision makes me believe so. It's absurd...but I'm excited nonetheless!

Ketchuplover, I'm just not racial. I think this way of dividing it up into tribes is far more fair than old against young or men against women. This way you have a group of people prob. of various ages & a combo. of both sexes on each tribe - just a more equal beginning IMO. They'll mix it up before long anyway.

Hey Ketchup, I hear next year they are dividing up the 52 Heinz varities into different teams.

I wonder how they are going to do it. :-)

P.S. Great article, Willi.

I have faith in Mark Burnett. Otherwise I am going to be sorely disappointed and won't watch anymore.

It sure is eye candy expectly the guys. I forgot that he laid down and need a break. I feel bad for that one girl the other guy was giving her looks to kill because Seiko was voted out. I would get rid of him next. Also I feel sorry for her because the two women talked together and not include her. I like Ozzy

That's Stephanie that was left out. It's Sundra and Rebecca with the alliance.

Yeah, "Asian" tribe--Filippinos, Koreans, and Vietnamese cultures are all the same.

Those women really had to get rid of one of those guys. If the women told them their pants were on fire, they wouldn't listen.

I'm in the camp that it doesn't matter or "say" anything that the first few shows are divided by race. They all be together soon.

There are different personality traits in all races and cultures....you'll find loyalty and back stabbing across the board.

I kinda like Cowboy...any man that can relieve my headaches will have a place in my heart.

I’m so glad Survivor started….I couldn’t stomach BB the last week or two.

I posted in another thread that, if you put chickens under a box, you should tell others so that they won't pick up that box! Teamwork, it is called!

My friend is from China and she has educated me on the different Asian Cultures. Quite a range to lump together.

No Chinese or Japanese. There would be a fight there.
