CBS has announced that at least half the cast of the popular and long running reality game shows, including Survivor and Big Brother, will be made up of nonwhite contestants.
“The reality TV genre is an area that’s especially underrepresented, and needs to be more inclusive across development, casting, production and all phases of storytelling,” George Cheeks, president and chief executive officer for the CBS Entertainment Group, said in a statement. “As we strive to improve all of these creative aspects, the commitments announced today are important first steps in sourcing new voices to create content and further expanding the diversity in our unscripted programming, as well as on our network.”
The network made a pledge on Monday that half of future casts will be made up of blacks, indigenous, or other people of color, according to Entertainment Weekly. The network is also applying the new casting rule to its other reality game show Love Island.
The change in hiring comes on the tail of charges from a group of contestants who claim that Survivor and producer Jeff Probst are biased in favor of white players. The group, calling itself the Black Survivor Alliance, aimed to bring “light to our collective experience with implicit bias and racism on and off the show.”

And they will get the woke profit structure. That is to say, they will go broke.
Really don’t care since I have never watched it.
Hay, I vaguely remember CBS.
Wasn’t it a BIG, major TV network back in the day?
This is why I’d rather watch reruns of Hogan’s Heroes, Leave it to Beaver, Green Acres and Petticoat Junction.
Whoop de whoop. Does that really mean anything? What am I missing?
And I vow 100% not to watch it.
Certainly makes me want to watch a program that I never wanted to watch. Not.
Why I prefer to watch KDramas.
Are only 50% of their sports games black/POC?
Or does merit matter more than skin color quotas in athletic competition?
Just make them all non-white and reap the rating bonanza!
Why is any of this important to anyone?
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IS SYSTEMIC RACISM
Make the executive staff half non white.
The nba and nfl need to reach out for racial justice. The leagues severely discriminate against short Asians..,this can’t stand.

What a lying fascist Danny Boy is.
Subtitles?
It might be a great idea with a few modifications to the show.
No host. No supplies. Let each person chose three items from a big pile of stuff like Survivorman does.
Turn on the cameras and leave them on the island for 90 days. Everyone still living when the boat gets back gets an equal share of the million dollars.
The network made a pledge on Monday that half of future casts will be made up of blacks, indigenous, or other people of color, because that reflects reality in no way.
