Survivor: Cook Islands - 9/14/06 **Season Premiere**
Season Premiere:
Title:
Spoiler:
Stranded on the Cook Islands in the heart of the South Pacific, 20 strangers must live together and compete for the million-dollar prize. Who will outwit, outplay, and outlast all others? Don't miss a single episode of SURVIVOR: COOK ISLANDS, premiering Thursday, September 14 at 8 pm ET/PT, only on CBS.
Pre-season Thread
And, yes, I do realize how ridiculous the poll sounds.
Next week I'll use the names of the tribes...

My early favorite is whoever that Hispanic guy with the Carlito-from-WWE haircut is.
Seeing that the whites are bringing three girls with a combined apparent weight of 120 pounds, I'll have the whites falling first.

Now if the whites go away in the first 7 weeks, will ratings fall as well? It could be more telling about white viewership of a predominantly non-white cast of contestants this season.

So how many episodes before the tribes merge? I have money before an October airing.

I gave up on Survivor after the All Stars edition but the division of teams via race has got my interest for this new edition. I think I'll tune in for the first few episodes at least.

He really is. Nobody got their panties in a bunch and cried bigotry when he exhibited 'ageism' and 'sexism' in previous editions, but hot damn, separate by race, and you apparently really stir the pot.

Asians -> Puka
African American -> Hiki
Hispanic -> ? (missed it)
Caucasian -> Raro
I loved Billy's comment about how his family got on a raft and paddled their way away from an island, and there he was paddling back towards one.

How about Team Whitebread: Ruh-Ro
I was thinking 3 tribes lose a person tonight (the winning tribe stays intact), and then next week, the same thing, which gets us down to 14 people after 2 tribal council sessions.
