You know how we made a big hub-bub over Survivor: Racism? Well, AP is calling the whole stink "worthless." And why was it worthless? Oh, we don't know. Maybe because after two episodes, the powers that be over at CBS decided that racism is bad. (They obviously weren't looking to Lost when when they decided to strand a bunch of folks on an island together.)
Because after only two episodes, producers merged the black, white, Asian and Latino tribes into two mixed-race gangs on the CBS reality show Thursday night. No explanation was given for the quick abandonment of segregation; it seemed to pass by so quickly as to mean nothing.
Ok, cool. End of racism on Cook Island. Yay! But, while some mainstream outlets may call all the fuss "worthless" may we suggest using the term "effective?"
What is so new about the merge of tribes. In Survivor Panama Islands, there were four teams…Older Men, Younger Men, Older Women and Younger Women. They merged into two teams at the end of Episode Two. Everyone's acting like the current merge was due to pressure when in fact this show was taped way before word got out about this year's twist.
