Survivor is out of Ideas

I guess it had to happen. Survivor (starting September 14th) is pitting the races against each other in the upcoming season. The four tribes are African-American, Asian-American, Hispanic, and White. I have no idea why the last two aren't Hispanic-American and White-American, but that's another story.

Survivor already did the gender wars and the old versus young, and, since the rating were low last time out, they needed some new and controversial angle. If the series can hang on after this season, I have plenty of other controversial ideas, like:

lawyers vs comedians
gay vs straight
dwarves vs librarians
cops vs ex-cons (when Richard Hatch is released from prison)
porn stars vs nuns & priests
obese vs skinny
children vs adults
drug addicts vs alcoholics
Canada vs USA
Bloods vs Crips
farmers vs chefs
pilots vs bakers
presidential interns vs rent boys

And that's just off the top of my head. Feel free to add yours.

It just occurred to me that it feels like Monday, and then I realized that it is Monday.

Bloggers vs. Non-bloggers?

Oh wait, that sucks about as bad as this season's option.

Lame.

My fave is "porn stars vs nuns & priests". That would rock. It would be Survivor vs. Temptation Island or something.

Nerds vs Jocks?

Or how about they quite making lame reality tv game shows and make a new Star Trek series instead!

I'd like to see Survivor Northern Ontario late May....everybody has to wander about in bathing suits during blackfly season...and when they have an incentive challenge, winner gets a quart of DEET and some mosquito netting.

I never watched the Survivor stuff. I could go through the Apprentice no problem (reruns even), but no interest at all in Survivor.

It's all about the numbers and this way they figure they will get alot of them but mister anchovy has a pretty good idea although I think the mosquitos plus the black flies down here would do it better :)

I like your ideas much better than the actual show. But you forgot doctors vs. mechanics.

Normally I wouldn't post a comment totally unrelated to your post (especially since I commented on this one ages ago), but everyone has to come to my blog and check out the ultrasound video of my son. Now THAT's good reality television.

So, are the Survivor execs banging at your door yet?
