Another high point for reality shows
First off, I'm not a fan of reality shows in general. I'll disclaim myself that I haven't even watched more than one episode of Survivor during its past 12 seasons. Having said that ----
The proposal for Survivor's upcoming season just sounds like an incredibly bad idea.
(CBS) In just a couple of weeks, the new season of "Survivor" takes 20 castaways to the Cook Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. They will be split into four tribes, but how they will do that is guaranteed to be a talking point. For the 13th installment of the series, producers have yet another controversial way to begin the game: 20 people, four tribes — each divided by race.
Racial divides, ethnic pride, viewer division, reinforcing physical stereotypes..
I hope I'll be very wrong and perhaps the winner will indeed be the one that transcends this all to bring all groups together. But I still think it is a bad idea.
