			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img id="image764" src="http://www.makemewatchtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/cook_01.jpg" alt="Survivor: Cook Islands" align="right" vspace="4" hspace="4" />A new season of <i>Survivor</i> is upon us, and with it comes controversy. Apparently, there is this thing called &#8220;race&#8221; that I have never heard of. From what I hear, you can divide people into categories by &#8220;race&#8221; in the same way you could with &#8220;gender&#8221; or &#8220;eye color.&#8221; I have never heard of &#8220;gender&#8221; or &#8220;eye color&#8221; before either. Wouldn&#8217;t it be easier if we were all blind and deaf? Also, we could live in tiny single person boxes under the ground.</p>
<p>Asian-American, Caucasian, Latino, and African-American is how the tribes are originally split up. I prefer to be called a Caucasian-American, thank you very much. This show is racial insensitive towards me.</p>
<p>All the survivors were rushed off a boat on to rafts with minimal supplies. Now they must survive on their race alone. Wits. I mean wits.</p>
<p>The Latinos think they have an advantage because they grew up in tropical areas. The Asian-Americans think they have the advantage because they will be underestimated. Then I stopped paying attention.</p>
<p>The Caucasian team&#8230;screw it, I&#8217;m calling them white. The white team stole someone else’s chicken from the boat. Accidentally, maybe. That doesn&#8217;t matter, because some girl calling herself Flicka lifted up the box that was trapping the chickens and they ran away. Idiot. White people are so stupid.</p>
<p>The African-American team is having a lot of trouble making fire. That means it is a fact that black people can&#8217;t make fires. I will hold that against them. Wait a second&#8230;I can&#8217;t make fire from rubbing sticks together either! Either I&#8217;m black, or everyone can&#8217;t make fire by rubbing sticks together. I&#8217;m so confused. Am I supposed to be picking these things out or not?</p>
<p>A whale! I just saw a whale! I hope a tribe totally kills and eats a whale.</p>
<p>The winners of the first challenge win fire and immunity. It involves putting together puzzles. Old people should be so good at <i>Survivor</i>.</p>
<p>The Asian-Americans, Latinos, and Caucasians win the first challenge. They all get fire. The African-American team gets to go to tribal council and lose a member, but they get to send one member from another team to Exile Island.</p>
<p>Remember Pleasure Island from <i>Pinocchio</i>? There has to be more to pleasure than just playing pool and smoking cigars.</p>
<p>What I find weird is that each race has two separate genders, male and female. Is that right? Do all races have two genders? Who knew?</p>
<p>The white guy who stole the chicken was sent to Exile Island. It looks even more miserable than the island from last season.</p>
<p>The guys on the black team, who are in the minority&#8230;the gender minority, are trying to get one of the women&#8217;s vote by telling her that the women can&#8217;t survive without the men. I think the fellas may want to rethink their strategy.</p>
<p>Did I mention there were run aground pirate ships everywhere? There are. Pirates don&#8217;t like being the backdrop to anything.</p>
<p>Sekou, the jazz musician who though women were weak, was voted out. The African-American team is racist because they voted an African-American person out.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think I learned anything about anything today.</p>
