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!

Rebecca makes sense. The women of The View need all the help they can get from their makeup artist.

Looking forward to this long awaited night. I'll be parked in front of my TV with the phone unplugged and the porch light off.

Well, Mark Burnett had to come up with something other than
the black tribe,
the white tribe,
the brown tribe and
the yellow tribe.

That's not very PC don't-cha-know!
Anyway, these are supposed to be names of the islands where filming takes place.
