» auntydle - Tribes divided by race
As an Asian-American woman, I don't understand the uproar over the new season of Survivor. They'll have four tribes divided by race. People out there are screaming racism. Huh? The fact that this will be the first season of Survivor not to have 80% to 90% whites is a BAD thing? How many Latin and Asian contestants have there been? Not even one a season. The tribes will be mixed up and DE-segregated a couple of weeks into the season, and that will make for some interesting tribal relations. Will there be any race-based alliances? And will they hold up throughout the season? We'll see.
On a side note, if the Australian tribe Ogakor (remember hunky Colby?) had had a Japanese person on their team, they wouldn't have run out of rice. A handful of rice will make a whole pot of Japenese gruel called O-Kai - enough to feed several large, hungry men. It has a consistency between oatmeal and gumbo, which can vary depending on the water/rice ratio.
Gerri complaining that Keith's rice was more like a soup was hilarious to me. The way she cooked the rice, everyone had basically a cracker for dinner. Of course, that's much more practical and satisfying than a bowl of rice soup.
I first posted a version of this on the Film, TV and Pop Culture page.
