You may be right KPW. Survivor has been around awhile and it has kept up a large audience. I have watched some seasons and not others. I think I have just about seen all I need to of people surviving in the outback or on a deserted island.
I saw a little segment last night about the upcoming season. The teams are divided into 4 groups: African American, Asian, White and Hispanic.
I hope I stated this correctly. I know some are very picky with the exact wording of ethnic groups, but I think I stated it the way the show described it.
They even showed the contestants, which I guess by now, they already know who the last 2 were, since the show is taped in advance, the only thing remaining is announcing the winner.
I find the idea in very poor taste and even offensive. It seems to me the show is trying to see which race is superior. Even though the tribes will eventually merge into one at the end, the break down of how many of this group or that group is left to merge, reminds me of something a supremacist would conjure up. I'm really surprised and hope that the public voices its concern.
I realize that I am not the judge of what is appropiate broadcasting nor the one to tell others what to watch, but, as a viewer, I think I should state my mind about what is out there when I find it offensive. Perhaps I should wait and watch the show before putting it down, but, I really don't think I could do that.
