SURVIVOR: COOK ISLANDS - Official Thread
My somewhat fertile brain | 24 August, 2006 | Cuz_it_aint_their_money

Yes FReepers and FReeperettes, its time once again for another season of Survivor.
This time they are in the Cook Islands, in the middle of the South Pacific.

I was going to start off this thread by informing you all about how Mark Burnett’s Production Company has decided to split the tribe along ethnic backgrounds. But that subject has been pretty much beaten to death on at least three different threads. So. . . .

I would like to point out that for all their talk about “minorities” not applying to the show as much as “whites” and about how they had to send their casting producers out to round up minorities, they apparently didn’t have to look too far.

Of the 20 contestants recruited for this season, no less than 13 are from California!
And of those 13, NINE are from the greater Los Angeles area!
So much for diversity!

A visitor!

Yeah, I know ... there's a lot of dull people on this Survivor.

The challenges seem half-hearted too.

Yep :) He went to Vietnam 40 years ago (wow!) this month. His tour was October 1966 to October 1967.

I agree. I do like Jonathan and Yul and the crazy chick Flicka is growing on me. She's a little dumb at times but she has heart. :)
