Survivor: Help picked the theme of the next season of Survivor
Whelp, we've covered the race wars, so what is next for Survivor?

Gays vs. Straights
Republicans vs. Democrats

Help decide what theme the next version of Survivor should be.

Personally, I think there is nothing that they will stoop so low to do. Hell they'll probably have the Clan Vs. Black Panthers for all I know :crazy:

I watched 5 minutes last night during a commericial break from Countdown - it bored me within 3

3. Let me tell ya what you need to know about
what happened after the first five minutes. (On another site I regularly post on I had the episode play by play last night. )

Turns out we white people suck at the game of Survivor. The Asian tribe and the Hispanic/Latin(o/a) did much better than the white tribe. The only tribe that was worse then the white tribe was the black/African American tribe. (Sorry-I always use either or for Black/African American. I have one friend who will tell you she's not Af/Am since her parents were from the Carribean and another friend who says she's not black so...completely off topic.)

To further play up the stereotypes:
I learned that any Asian portrayed on tv will either be a business/scientific type. If s/he is not then they are a spiritualist.

If you an attractive, young white female you will hook up w/ the first guy you can find to protect you, no matter how smart and capable you are in real life.

Once again in the game of Survivor: if you are Black/African American you will suck at any kind of water challenge.

And the final lesson: if you are a white male and you accidently steal a chicken from an Asian male, the black males will send your ass to Exile Island for a few days.

(IMO, the Hispanic tribe seemed to get along the best. And that JP on their tribe-eye candy. Me likey and will continue to watch for any shots of him shirtless, tight swim trunks, etc.)

10. Some of them are actually quite good - like Project Runway and Top Chef
And don't go messing with my "Pimp that Ride" on MTV

But yeah, most of them are useless

11. Child zone vs. Child Free Zone
Along with the survivors, the producers will allow one team to bring along their screaming brats who be fed nothing but processed, sugary foods in order to get them really riled up.

13. LOL... Also, division by age.
A team of 20- somethings, a team of 30 somethings, 40's, 50's, and 60's teams. That could actually be pretty interesting.

12. I've never watched a show of Survivor but here goes...
Put a group of fundies in New York City or Los Angeles making minimum wage, trying to pay rent and take care of a family with no health care benefits and see how long they last. The cowards would probably try to vote themselves off after five minutes.
