Okay, was I dreaming this or did one of the shows major sponsors pull out? Yes, I think it was GM. If not GM, it was some other large company.

Team Pillow vs. Team Baby. That's something I'd watch.

Okay, I saw gay and Team Pillow -- my mind went totally in the gutter.

I think what bothers me is that they finally get some real cultural/racial diversity on the show, and this is what they do with it. Like, why can't they just cast a really diverse cast and let it go? Oh, please. That would make too much sense!

From Defamer:It's a good thing they didn't have any South Asians in the group, or his mind really would have been blown

I just take it that he is just explaining this to others. Trust me, as a self-appointed race expert, at least at work, I get all the questions about race. It's quite simple. People do not have the opportunity to learn about other races. Think about it, it's not really taught in school, since geography is rarely taught and European-American history is the order of the day for the majority of the schools.
If anyone is going to get educated about the taboo subject of race, it's usually on the fly.
You can already tell from posts on this topic, news articles about this Survivor, that race is a sticky subject. It's so sticky that you can't get general knowledge about it.

You know, I'm not sure what I expected last night but after watching the entire show, I have to say that it was just like every other Survivor that I have seen. It was entertaining and if anything, just highlighted the fact that ethnic background not the reason that a team won or lost a challenge.
It looked like Jeff was trying to make a point by asking the women from the Black tribe why they hung back and let the two men make a decision for the tribe, especially since the women outnumbered the men. It's as though Jeff wanted to stir up some controversy right from the beginning.
