Performance in the Olympics depends a lot on which countries are willing to spend the most on training. And we have the advantage that everyone wants to live here, so we get some of the best people from all over the world moving here.

agreed. i was thinking more pre-1930s pre-diverse america

Anyone else hear that sound?


Ah yes, the sound of fingernails scraping across the bottom of an old oaken barrel.

Wow, if CBS goes through with this, they've got balls.

It'll be funny if the players are opposite of the stereotypes--The black player will be scrawny and nerdy, the asian player's a bodybuilder, etc.

This should be interesting if it actually happened. When does it start?

 

[Baked]

Asians will win hands down.

If like last season, they won't let it play out to the end, rather they'll "merge" after 2 weeks. Stupid promotional stunt that you wouldn't see a country with civilized people perform.

Why not?

Ask yourself what CBS's goal is. Does the result matter? Will it have any impact on the game?

Their goal is to get ratings. I don't see how that makes them/us uncivilized.

If the challenges are extremely diverse, the whites might actually come out on top. All they need is to come in second place every time. Or not, I have no idea how this show works.

this is going to be great!

the press release thing said "hispanic"

I have no idea how this survivor is judged (never watched, just heard about it) but statistically whites should be able to win a competition, just because USA has a bigger pool of white ppl, means bigger chance of having better competitor. Or something like that lol Of course I'm assuming the contestants are picked from the U.S

 

[ZOOYUKA]

I bet one of them halfway through the season will turn up as an illegal alien.

The way they select contestants is not based on who will be best at the competitions. It's based on who they think the public will be most interested in watching. So it's more about having a mix of personalities.

I'm still taking bets on when Burnett will finally go all the way and make this an actual game of survivor where the last one alive wins.

People like to pretend that "no diversity" == "unfair". I refuse to pretend.

I like the idea of pitting races against each other. If you're forced to include every race (whether they like it or not) why not segregate them. Everyone likes to avoid direct comparisons of races so this should be refreshing. Not that the results will tell us much.

I have to agree with this statement. Our society already labels people by their ethnicity...but somehow putting it out in the open, and on tv is somehow wrong?

 

[FoBoT]

next time, pirates vs ninjas vs cowboys vs indians

 

[HombrePequeno]

I'm guessing the whites and Asians will lose the physical challenges. As for the mental challenges (especially involving math) the Asians have it unless the white people can pay someone else to do it.

BTW this is a horrible idea for the show.

Personally, my money is on the Kro-Maggs.
