but no, it didn't start in 93! it started in, like, 98. tv seasons are weird. they have no regard for calendar years. Parallel universe stuff.

I must admit that instigating a race war is pretty fucking ballsy sounding.

"So we said, 'Let's turn this criticism into creativity,'" host Jeff Probst told CBS's Early Show.
"It fits in perfectly with what Survivor does. It is a social experiment."

They RECRUITED most of the non-white players. They travelled around and actively sought out people who would be good on the show. Apparently, they get so few minority auditions that this was the only way to find people for teams. Or people who they thought would be good on t.v. anyway. also, i heard that they found one person via myspace(!!).

This is bound to be one of those shows where people get angry and insulted along the way but everyone ends up learning valuable lessons about each other and loses some preconceived notions, blah blah blah.
This is surely going to be good for some cringing.

This has been a trend on Survivor generally for all players, though. Many die-hard Survivor fans have been grumbling for a couple years now over the increasing tendency to cast recruited "model" types over interesting personalities with interesting backgrounds. Exile Island swung back to the wacky personality casting, and it was a better show for it, even though it really started to degenerate in terms of repetition.

Fritz OTM. In no more than four weeks' time, the tribes will be redivided (reintegrated, if you will) simply because of the numbers game. (Watching 2 and 3 person tribes at this point in the show would be BORING.) Fraternity will rule for a short time after the merger, but soon all that will disappear in the name of the GAME again with requisite backstabby action.
The producers do apply pre-screening tests, but those are mostly health and psychology stuff, definitely no smarts-testing.
