The 13th Season of Survivor ~ Teams Divided by Race

Interesting

A Racy Twist for "Survivor"

Excerpt:
Some may call it exploiting racial tensions. CBS calls it darn good television.

Jeff Probst popped in on The Early Show Wednesday morning, confirming the reports that the 20 castaways for Survivor: Cook Islands will be grouped by race, with competitors divided into four tribes consisting of whites, blacks, Asians and Hispanics.


Apparently, "separate but equal" holds only the warmest of connotations for Mark Burnett.


Like a good host, Probst had nothing but praise for the producers' controversial brainchild, calling the exercise in segregation a valuable social experiment, rather than a stunt to dig up some controversy--and raise ratings.



Survivor: Cook Islands kicks off Sept. 14. Here's a list of the competitors:
  • Rebecca Borman, 24, makeup artist, Laurelton, New York;
  • Anh-Tuan "Cao Boi" Bui, 42, nail salon manager, Christiansburg, Virginia;
  • Sekou Bunch, 45, jazz musician, Los Angeles;
  • J.P. Calderon, 30, pro volleyball player, Marina Del Rey, California;
  • Cristina Coria, 35, police officer, Los Angeles;
  • Stephannie Favor, 35, nursing student, Columbia, South Carolina;
  • Billy Garcia, 36, heavy metal guitarist, New York City;
  • Adam Gentry, 28, copier sales, San Diego;
  • Nathan Gonzalez, 26, retail sales, Los Angeles;
  • Jenny Guzon-Bae, 36, real estate agent, Lake Forest, Illinois;
  • Yul Kwon, 31, management consultant, San Mateo, California;
  • Becky Lee, 28, attorney, Washington, D.C.;
  • Oscar "Ozzy" Lusth, 25, waiter, Venice, California;
  • Cecilia Mansilla, 29, technology risk consultant, Oakland;
  • Sundra Oakley, 31, actress, Los Angeles;
  • Jonathan Penner, 44, writer/producer, Los Angeles;
  • Parvati Shallow, 23, boxer/waitress, Los Angeles;
  • Jessica Smith, 27, performance artist/rollergirl, Chico, California;
  • Brad Virata, 29, fashion director, Los Angeles;
  • Candice Woodcock, 23, premed student, Fayetteville, North Carolina.
