I haven't actually seen any of the episodes myself, I only heard of the premise of the new Survivor series from the TV commercial. And I kinda sorta looked at the website. Which totally makes me worthy of an opinion.

At any rate, it sounds like it all started when someone decided that the show could use some diversity. But oh wait, not only should we have some minorities on the show, but we should go even farther and have LOTS of minorities on the show, AND pit them against each other in a spectacular Battle of the Races. Oh, but then after contriving us some racial tension, we'll integrate them all and teach everyone a valuable lesson about teamwork, and Racism is Bad, It's Better When We Work Together. Look, we're doing a public service.

Mid-season tension: That undercover hapa guy. WHOSE SIDE IS HE ON?!?!
