I mean, wouldn't it also be a fresh idea to put one of each ethnicity on a team, and see how they all relate?<BR/><BR/>My thoughts on this are <A HREF="http://www.heyfreak.com/index.php/heyfreak/more_reality_bullshit/" REL="nofollow">here</A>.

I think that all of the complaints about this or that person looking bad can still be made, with the culprit being the editing process.<BR/><BR/>Obviously, you can't do this show live. Alan might correct me, but I think the whole show is finished and they know the results before the first episode even airs. I'm sure the editors must at least be tempted to edit certain storylines into each episode, and maybe even across the entire series. <BR/><BR/>At the same time, they must keep it pretty subtle, because until the votes are read each time at Tribal Council, I can never guess who is going to go home.Lord Floppingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946455894230825118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1156451979547856102006-08-24T16:39:00.000-04:002006-08-24T16:39:00.000-04:00One of the local morning shows has been riffing on...One of the local morning shows has been riffing on this story since yesterday and said some of the same things Limbaugh did, only the local guys were obviously joking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1156450818101399532006-08-24T16:20:00.000-04:002006-08-24T16:20:00.000-04:00Here's a good example of the kind of commentary th...Here's a good example of the kind of commentary this format will elicit:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://mediamatters.org/items/200608240003" REL="nofollow">Limbaugh handicapped races in new Survivor series, suggested "African-American tribe" worst swimmers, Hispanics "will do things other people won't do."</A><BR/><BR/>Nice, huh?Louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320979906551787343noreply@blogger.com
