Instead of all these so-called "pretty people" (as in "People-Magazine-Marketable), why not pit:
A team of white southern "trailer trash" against some inner-city black gangstas.
A team of lesbians against a team of faggots.
A team of christian fundementalists against some orthodox jews. (or in the same vein, a team of "pagans" against a team of fashion designers).
You get the idea. Stereotype verseus stereo type.
I find the entire "Survivor" concept interesting, but think it could be enhanced with a socio-political element.
So far as I can see, "Survivor" is not so much a matter of who will win, but about how the others are eliminated. We want our tastes affirmed... or our shrewdness.
But I think if there were social-political similarites within the competing groups it would be enhanced... sort of like watching sharks... or even poodles.. turn against themselves.
