Reality TV Obsession - September 2006

Jeff Probst on the race issue

September 19th 2006 03:47

Jeff Probst says that the people behind Survivor didn't originally intend to separate tribes by race. He said that they were trying to make a more diverse cast, but they realized that the cast had strong ethnic pride.

He says he thinks they did a good job, but he's anxious to see how the public takes it.

What do you think? Was dividing the tribes by race a good idea? Will it just continue to increase racial stereotypes? Are you watching this season?

Hmmm, Im not sure on this one, dont think there was any racist intentions in dividing the teams up into races and the whole thing has been blow out of proportion a little. Has it already started screening in the states??

I didn't think it was a big deal. I mean we've done it by age and sex so far. Why not race. ok.

I'm disappointed that they already blended the tribes. I think it would have been an interesting social study. Love your blog. Please come visit me when you can.
