This seems like a good place to mention just how much I’ve always loved your user name. It never fails to bring me a smile. Glad to have been of service. The going rate for smiles is $5 for the first one, $1.50 for all subsequent ones. I accept Visa and Mastercard. Sorry, no American Express. ---

Five people are not representative of any race or ethnic origin. It is a desperate tv show boosting rating. I watch some years ,skip some. I might watch this one if it doesnt conflict with racketball. ---

No, the crack moment was a man who had not received an elimination vote _the entire contest_ get eliminated because…he got the purple rock. The point where it finally gave up the pretense and admitted it was a glorified lottery. Race groups? Bah, just another gimmick. If this means that CBS is out of ideas and is ready to cancel this once-compelling but now just plain tedious show, so much the better. ---

The sad thing is, it means CBS _isn’t_ out of ideas, and I shudder to think what next season’s gimmick will be. **Survivor: Handicapped!** We got a blind team, a deaf team, an autistic team, a wheelchair team… ---

You know what I don’t get? People who need to express ideas like: > [@](#): > > If this means that CBS is out of ideas and is ready to cancel this once-compelling but now just plain tedious show, so much the better. Why do you care if a show you don’t like is canceled or not? 😕 Given how many channels there are now, there are probably hundreds of shows that I think aren’t worth watching. But guess what? I don’t post in threads about them, I don’t even READ threads about them. I just don’t watch 'em. 😃 Unless someone has you strapped in a chair in front of a TV tuned to CBS 24/7, why don’t you just ignore the continued existence (or lack thereof) of this show? ---
