Default New Surivor Season: Ethnic Tribes

Don't have a link yet but....

LOS ANGELES -- Get ready for a segregated ``Survivor.''
Race will matter on the upcoming season of the C-B-S show as contestants will be divided into four tribes by ethnicity.
That means blacks, whites, Latinos and Asians in separate groups.
Host Jeff Probst says the idea ``actually came from the criticism that 'Survivor' was not ethnically diverse enough.''
He says the twist fits in perfectly with what ``Survivor'' does, saying the show is ``a social experiment,'' and this is adding another layer to that experiment.
Probst says contestants had mixed reactions to the racial divisions.
This time, the new Survivors are stranded on the Cook Islands in the South Pacific.


This just seems like a bad idea. Pretty slippery slope.
