Interested to hear people's thoughts on this one. You can stream the first full episode here (dunno if it works overseas)

Personally I think this is an amazing idea for a show, and no matter what happens, it's going to be really thought-provoking in a hundred different ways.

If you think it's trash TV and OMG they will do anything for ratings and this sort of programming is terrible for America and blah blah blah - great, please share these vital, fresh opinions with us immediately.

I dont think the black team is going to win, not because of race, just there team sucks..

Crazy puzzles and stuff...just hand it to the asians.

Seriously tho...I gotta watch another episode or 2 to get the feel for the teams to make an accurate judgement.

I have not watched any episodes yet but the best team will win regardless of race. The only thing that will make a difference is team work and chemistry not skin color. This would be very interesting if they did the race segregation on survivor every year. This way you could see which race won more often and what contributes to the other races losing. Like I said though the team that works together best and has that team chemistry will ultimately win every time.

Once the latinos get rid of the fat guy they are going to win easily.

Oh, really? You mean, the team that will win is the team which is best able to?

The whole point is whether race determines how good a team is.

Whomever uses teamwork the most & executes the plans without messing up.
I think the white team will win for no other reason than I think they will work the best together for a common goal.
I could be wrong though each race has the the ability to win, but do they have the desire.

I can't fucking stand reality shows, I thought at first they might be a somewhat amusing observation of human nature til I realized how much they stacked the seats with retards/psychopaths/bipolars

Yeah honestly fuck reality shows. I'd do something less painful like ignite my dick with a blowtorch.

You know I was going to defend you in the post where Polarbearz flames you for useless posts, but now I don't think so. You ARE annoying. Find another hobby.
And Lt. Victim, I am surprised to see that you watch Survivor. I do too and find it to be a good window into people and behaviors under pressure and duress. I did not think we had much in common, but I will reconsider.
I think the Latinos, just because. The blacks are out cuz their team sucks. They are also under more pressure due to their needing to "represent". When the lady said that in episode 1 I was like uh oh. But it was hilarious when she mentioned being able to swim and row a boat and then BAM they can't swim or row a boat. Others had trouble as well, but did not just talk about it. And I do realize that we only see what is edited and fits into an hour show. This should be a good season, although the challenges seem to be the same old but longer. We shall see.

i null voted since i feel that each race is going to have their own problematic/benificial characteristics

not to be stereotypical but asians tend to be smart, although slower in actually getting around to execution, they seem to like things just so before they get up and go

latinos appear to me to be full of passion and put a lot of heart into things, but this trait could lead to arguments within

the blacks probably have the best instincts, but might tend to go with the flow a little too much

white ppl (and i am one) tend to try and emulate the other "colours", or at least reflect the skills of the other ppl around them, although they might balk when the going gets tuff and start bitchin and complaining

Wow. Racial profiling by random internet users. Does that mean I can now call myself a rocket surgeon?

Null vote. Assuming that the show isn't somehow rigged (big assumption), luck seems to be the bigest factor.

You might as well ask 'what race am I?'

The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.
