Survivor: Cook Islands.... What did you think?

Although I thought it was an OK idea, at the same time I found it dumb. It really ended up making some people I know angry about the way things worked (suck as at the end how the latinos, blacks and asians were so happy to have removed all the white people). It really wasn't a social experiment because they split the tribes up into races. If they wanted to experiment, they should have said nothing about the fact that they had 4 races, and instead just sat back and let the tribes form on their own, and see who sides with who. If they had done that, we may have found different bonds. But since they started out by putting them in races, each race bonded with themselves (duh!) because they were grouped with each other and forced to work together, and therefore more likely to bond. If I had done the show, I would never have mentioned race to the players and instead said "pick your teams" to see what happens.

I really enjoy watching Survivor and I don't feel that the tribes being split by ethnicity in the beginning was a problem. It wasn't long until they were changed into two tribes anyway. I had predicted that Yul would win from the beginning, but toward the end I really wanted Ozzy to win because he was so physically adept. Ozzy wanted to go to the University and I would like to have seen him be able to do that. What can I say? I am a fan.

I have watched Survivor quite a bit over the years. But, I didn't really get into it as much as most people did. I haven't seen Cook Island, but I think that's simply a ploy for ratings with the separating of races. Whether or not it was "disrespectful" would be up to the players themselves.

i watch the whole season of it i thought it was great.i hope they do it again.it showed were everone can work together.i cant wait till next season

i never actually looked at it this way. i don't have time to watch all the parts in a series, and i also see different series since i'm not from usa and my country is buying the rights to show survivor, but it's a pretty good show in my opinion. i really like it. it shows how people react when they are facing critical decisions. we all know that when a human faces a critical moment his reactions and atitude are very different from the moments when he's facing a regular situation. so i'm appreciating overall the quality of the show. i'd vote for it anytime anywhere.

Does anybody still watch Survivor? I haven't watched since my friend and former Sunday school teacher Tina Wesson won.

I love Survivor as well and wish that I could have seen the Finale. I did not know it was going to be on that soon. I did not have a problem with the beginning with the grouping based on race as I knew it would not stay that way. They always break down the groups eventually and I enjoy seeing new twists to the game. It didn't seem to cause too many problems among the contestants on there and they seemed to get along fine.

When I first started watching this show I was kind of shockjed they put all races together like black with black and so on. I thought it was going to be abit weird with people but it seemed to work out good for that show. I think they just did that to bring in alittle more attention to the show.

I wasn't a fan of the way that they hyped up the whole segregation thing this season. Maybe they did that to stir up some publicity in the beginning, who knows? I noticed that as the show went on, the groups merged and changed to make it almost like the other Survivor seasons. I really didn't like the idea though, as much as they tried to do it in a way that wasn't too offensive (though it may have been to others).

To me this was the most enjoyable season I've seen yet. It didn't bother me when they broke people up along racial lines. I was curious to see how they worked with each other and then when apart how they work with the others. It seems people connnected on how they viewed to play the game rather than what ethnicity they were. I believe that's why the final four got so far in the game.

Personally what they should have done was keep Survivor to once a year. After the 3rd installment it was getting too boring. But I did like the All-Star season. I like Big-Brother because it's only on once a year. You really don't get bored of it. I hope they bring back PARADISE HOTEL!

I think reality television's executives are getting more and more desperate to make money. You can't have too much of a good thing.

well its just a show i think.. it should not be seen as racist or something.. entertainment should be treated as such..just entertainment.. in my opinion lol

The twists and the new styles that they had impemented on this season is just part of the thing the we call "Strategy"...As far as i know its more than 10 seasons of survivor and CBS needs to find ways to keep the number ( i mean the number of viewers of the show)...and again i guess they've pulled it OFF...How about other survivor fans what can you say about the CBS moves to retain the shows' ratings?

For some reason I didn't really watch this time around. But I remember when they decided to do it this way. I really don't understand the reasoning behind it. I mean there is enough problems with racism in society without bringing it onto the TV purposly.

Its really great and one thing i like about it is that it lets us feel the untouchable issues of life and society as well as its really fascinating to know as to how things will go when a winner is chosen.

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THOUGH I NEVER GET SOMEONE I WANT TO WIN TO WIN. NO ONE EVER CLUES IN ON WHO IS RUNNING THE GAME

I though it was broadcasted respectfully. When I first heard they were going to divide the tribes up like that I was worried that it would be a racial war, instead it showed how many people with different etniticitys could get along. I enjoyed watching.

Yes, I also am a big fan and won't miss it I think it was blown out of proportion I think everyone did a great job on it and it was not like ethnicity ganged on on another i think it was a great season. And I really liked the 4 it come down to they stuck it out together.

I've watched surviror since the begining. Cook Islands was not one of my favorites because of the split in ethnicity. They seemed to work it all out fairly well though. I was expecting to see more controversy,but cudos to all the tribe members except for a slip up or two
