I think the only tribe we really got to know to any extent last night was the Asian tribe because of the storyline between Cowboy and the younger man. I'm looking forward to learning about the others as I'm sure we will. As for Sekou being booted, I too felt that he sealed his fate when the two men didn't even attempt to consult the woman on who to send to exile island. Bad move there. And even though this season is different in how the teams are divided up, the issues within each team still remain the same - women vs men, young vs old, leaders vs independents - it's not all that different in that sense. The one difference I'm enjoying is the variety of people - they just seem more interesting then what is usually picked. Maybe it's the fact that half of them don't already have agents in LA! Survivor should have mixed it up like this a long time ago!

After the 1st show my fav. is Cao Boi. My hotties are: JP, Ozzy, & Adam. No female is sticking out right now except maybe Flicka in a "next to vote out" kind of way.

I liked the show. Names of tribes = too confusing I can not believe the three females just ' sat back' and let the males decide who to send to exile island. They should have sent some-one from the Asian tribe to exile island. 4 teams of 5 people = does make it easier to keep track of who's who. Over all thumbs up ! **** Also I have watched every single episode of Survivor. With all the race stuff on tv even my Mother and grandmother were talking about the show ! They have NEVER shown any interest in the show before ....sooo all the Race publicity seemed to get people talking. I agree they 'Survivor' should have had a more diverse mix of races from the very start. I am white, and always thought it was rediculous to have only two or 3 non-whites. _______________________ Now they need to get the 'Normal everday looking people" VS. the 'Model looking people' NOW THAT WOULD GET THEM PUBLICITY ><><> I am getting tired of 85% model types and 15% regular looking people !

I was just glad to see a female in a one piece bathing suit who wasn't hanging body parts out of all the sides! LOL That seemed like "normal people" to me. I could totally relate to her. Oh well....shows you that I'm one of the normal everyday variety, I guess. Love this show, no matter how they mix it up!

Is that really her name "Flicka must be from flower child ara, Who would name someone after a horse. I certainly would not want that name or change it and she and the last black guy on Serki's team needs to go, because he wasn't too happy with Stephanie. I don't remember his name.

Does anyone know what the names of the tribes mean? It would be hysterical if the names were native languages for Black, While, etc...LOL

I was bored senseless. NO idea why. Hopefully my interest will perk up soon...maybe once I get to know the people better.

The best line was when the Black team was building the hut and said "low cost housing".

My parents were telling me that Jeff Probst was on Martha Stewart yesterday and he said they had a very hard time finding non-white people to compete in the game.

I didn't like the idea of dividing the team up by race, I really didn't see the point of it. Watching the groups I found that there is a bit of a lesson there, there are dicks, jerks, workers, lazy, hotties, bonding, back biting, what have you in all races. Just a little lesson that we really are all the same. That is not news to most of us but sadly that has to be pointed out to some. Maybe that was there point after all.

See I got a different vibe when the tribes found themselves separated by race. We as a society are so careful to not say the wrong thing, or do the wrong thing in mixed company that we censor ourselves and tend to be a tad more cautious and concerned about offending someone of different race. That can keep us from being totally relaxed and ourselves when around people we don't know. From the comments the tribe members were making, I got the impression there was some pride in "representing" their peoples and I thought they seemed more relaxed with each other. For example: I'm not so sure the "Black people don't like to be told what to do" comment would have been made in a mixed race tribe. I think because of our country's problem with racism, we are a bit overly sensitive to any kind of segregation. Segregation born of hate or feelings of superiority is wrong... but that isn't what is going on during this show. I like watching people who can be themselves while getting to know each other. I don't see the division of tribes along race as a bad thing. JMHO

It was a shame seeing the AA team do poorly. I do feel that they, more than the other teams, feel a RESPONSIBILITY to "represent." I guess society makes them feel that sense of proving themselves as a race. I was disappointed for them, but I hope Jeff is right; they went back to camp a stronger team. As for Jonathan or Seikou being eye candy...REALLY? Yikes. I don't get that at all. But then again I had a crush on JAMES from BB, so that probably explains it all. LOL.

The teams didn't have fire for the first three days. What did they do for water? Didn't one of the teams say they couldn't drink it unless it was boiled? Also, what was the clue on Exile Island? I forgot it.

I loved the show. I like Cao Boi, Jeff was on The View the other day and mentioned how he got rid of that kids headache, said he was really amazed. The Flicka chick who let the chickens loose, did she forget they were there? Is she some kind of stupid? I was sure she was there when they put them in and then they all toasted.

Overall I think this season will definitely be intresting to watch. I do want to ask, WHAT was Flicka thinking lifting up that box??? UGH. If I were on the island I would be so pissed. She just let valuable protein run away not to mention a tasty meal down the road when desperate for meat. Im sure she has a target on her back at this point. Cao Boi was definitely eccentric but I like him. Certainly would have appreciated it if he had relieved me of a headache when there aren't many options on the island. Who cares about a mark on my forehead ....im pain free. }

Count me in as another Cao Boi fan. You can be sure he will be booted off quickly because whenever I have a favorite this soon they never last long. I do not have a favorite female yet. Flicka - With her tats and piercings may be vegan and instead of accidently letting the poor chickens escape she freed them from a horrible death in the cook pot. Or not. I could be completely wrong it was my first thought when I watched it happening.

Stereotyping, that's how my description of Flicka sounded. I am sorry. Didn't mean it in a bad way but it sure sounded bad when I reread it.

yeah Kep you may be right, I am still not sure what the point was, but it is true that they were much more relaxed in what they said. I really thought I wasn't going to like this but I did enjoy it, but I hope the merge is soon. I don't like the fact that the teams feel they have to "represent", just something about it that give me a feeling we are taking a step backwards instead of moving forward.
