Honestly.
CBS annouces that next season’s Survivor is going to <a href=”http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/08/23/earlyshow/series/survivor/main1926528.shtml” target=”_blank” divide the tribes by race. My god, what a fantastic idea. Finally, an answer to the age-old question: which race really is superior? I can’t wait to find out.
Fortunately, host Jeff Probst offers some Sociological context:
“I think it’s very natural to assume that certain groups are going to have audience members rooting for them simply because they share ethnicity. At the end of the day, I think it will come down to what it always comes down to: who do I like?”
Yeah! For example, I’m white… so obviously, I like other white people. Right? Is that was CBS is getting at?
Feck.
