They are making four teams.......and dividing them up according to their race.
What do you think about this? Do you think CBS will get any disgruntled viewers? Or is this all part of true life survival?

As a long-term Survivor fan, I woudl have to say I have my doubts. I mean, we all know that a format has to adapt in something like this show, otherwise it just becomes "Next bunch of people freeze and starve and think about killing each other in exotic locations", rather than anything people actually want to watch. I am slightly worried about the "social experiment" angle they're using to justify the racial divide though, in case anyone at the end of it uses the "experiment" results to justify racial slurs. It's also indicative of a phenomenon happening to Big Brother over here in the UK, where the "social experiment" angle, which actually held some merit for the first two seasons, has to be distorted into something else artificially - either by the inclusion of people specifically picked to be controversial, or by format changes that put people into more extreme or meaninglessly odd situations, simply to find out something "new" because the genuine social science experiment has been done but they need a new twist for a new season.
So, I love Survivor, I'm dubious as hell about this twist, I'm absolutely sure CBS will get letters, and while this might indeed be part of real life survival, I have issues with the isolation of this factor being used as a hook for a competitive game-show...

that is not a great deal if each and all the communities (with the help of race) would be taken care of fairly. The coach, i think of, is making an attempt to do something new as a replace of in basic terms repeating the only variety persistently lower back, so uninteresting.

Yes ...by race ...I think it will be interesting to see which one comes out on top ....I can congratulate who ever wins ...because I feel like this about it ..If you've got your stuff together...then you've just got it together . This is all based on the premise that everyone starts out with an equal amount of everything or nothing....cheating to make your people come out on top only says that you have the integrity of a turd. You end up being a loser in the eyes of all !!!!

I have heard about it and ,at first ,I was put off by it. However, at some point the tribes will merge, as they always do. Hopefully, it will show that what was once segregated, now can work well together ...as in real life.

Yes to both of your questions. It's a rather dramatic setup, and it will get supporters and naysayers. However, I think it will help accomplish what they want to do - increase viewership, at least initially!

Yes, and I think it is terrible! We have enough racist problems in this world without this reality show doing a number with it. I hope it gets canceled after this one.

Yeah, that's awful. Has been one of my fave shows for years, but this is "jumping the shark" in spades (no pun intended...at all...I think this is an atrocious thing to do).

I thought they were doing it by IQ.
And the four groups were: mildy retarded, moderately retarded, severely retarded and profoundly retarded.
