Anyone planning on watching this seasons controversial survivor??? I have read the teams are divided into 4 and it is by race. Asian, white, black and Latin I believe are the chosen races. What are your feelings on this???? Are you still going to watch????

I don't think dividing people by their race will change the game it just give people something to talk about.
The one where they divided men & women I felt gave the women a disadvantage as men are generally phyisically stronger than women so the physical competitions weren't even.
Then there was the one where it was the under 40 versus over 40 crowd. I don't see the "race issue" as any different.
I will be watching we tape it and watch on the weekend as a family.
Roberta we feel the same as you but I was just curious as to others opinions and if it would change whether they watched it or not. In the end they all end up on 1 team anyways and there is only one survivior.

I have watched many of the Surviviors in the past, but did not watch the last one as it didn't fit in my schedule. I will probably watch the new one depending on the night it is on. As far as the race division thing goes---I haven't really thought about it much. Might be interesting to see the first few episodes and see how much it really comes into play.
So what are everyones predictions??? Which team seems the strongest???? Any favorites??? As you saw my guy was the first voted out so guess i won't be winning any money this season!!! LOL My hubby still has a pick...think he pulled Cecelia out of the hat.

I am a true Survivor addict! I wasn't concerned at all about the division by race. I was very impressed by the Hispanic/Latino Tribe on the opening episode. They showed true teamwork, positive attitudes and seemed to be a pretty strong tribe. I'm excited to see what the season brings. Never have had a "Pool" for survivor just for football and Nascar but would like to try that.
We all throw 5 dollars in for each person we pick then draw a name out of the hat. Winner takes all at the end of the game. Makes it fun. I have done it with my scrapbook group and with just friends.

I felt at the beginning of the game that the Blacks & the Whites had a disadvantage because they only had 2 men and the Hispanics and Orientals had 3 men on their teams.
Since the blacks lost the first immunity challenge and now only have one man I think they will be in big trouble when strength is needed.
