How could I have forgotten about Survivor announcing that the tribes for the forthcoming Cook Islands edition are divided up by race - black, white, Latino, and Asian? That’s a mind-blowing story. It could be so awesome and so awful. What happens after the merge (typically occurring after some mixing up of the tribes)? When people gravitate back to their original tribe members, with whom their earliest loyalties were formed, will they be accused of being racist? No doubt ratings will be up, and I might even watch again. It’s been positively boring and routine the last few seasons and so I never made it past the premieres, if even that far.
