What's next, Survival of the sexes? Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if that does come up next. New twist, or complete desperation?

So much for promoting harmony amoung people.

Shows like Survivor are the reason I rarely watch any network TV...It's all just mindless drivel...

I'm prety sure they've already done that. Personally I'd like to see a series of survivor where the least duplicitous twit wins. But it's telivision so you know that will never happen.

Yes. That was last season, if I recall correctly.

Maybe they could call it apartheid survivor.

Personally I'd only be interested in watching a show called ultimate survivor:

I have to agree with all the previous comments here. This was an idiotic idea for a tv show in the first place, and they have finally come up with a way of making it worse. I have a new idea for a tv show Survivor: TV Executive edition, where all the tv executives are put on an island and left to rot and resort to cannabilism. I'd watch it.

I just hope to God this may be the beggining of the end for (non) reality shows. Everything has it's run, then interest wanes and a new fad is born. But these shows, all of them worry me. If ever there was a way to control people and turn them into mindless zombies this is the way to go.

I watch so little tv my batteries hardly get any workout.

And onemanshort, I'd watch that too. Especially if the fux execs were the first to go.

Carlos Mencia already did this schtick on his show but in the guise of Stereotype Olympics. And he included Middle Easterners. That is the appropriate forum for this concept. How different is this (in spirit) from the comment Jimmy the Greek made that cost him his job years ago?

**pauses, considers, grimaces**

Anybody out there remember Jimmy the Greek?
