I think it is racism myself, and don’t see what colour they happen to be matters at all. I think its racism a lot more coming from the ladies and Boo then from the 2 guys who at least seem to have a brain. Did anybody else find it completely transparent the attempt by the ladies of the 5 to include the 2 black folk?

Oh, definitely. I was waiting for Stacey to say “You followin’ me, nigger?” Yuck.
I watch this show a few days afterward, when my cable company puts it on the free on demand menu, so I haven’t seen this episode yet. I will say that this season is a real let-down after the last one. I honestly wish that there really were savage cannibal headhunters on the island and they would wipe out evry last one of these morons (yet I still watch, go figure).
Of every season I have seen this one seems to have the largest number of people that I would take shark fishing (as bait) if I were stranded on an island with them.
A few random thoughts:
Lisi the Hutt really dosn’t seem to understand the game stratagy at all. Last week’s “voting out a strong player because she might a threat later on” proves this. The comon stratagy is to keep the strong players untill the merge, thus assuring that your team keeps winning immunity. Then, after the merge, you can concentrate on the individual threats.
I wish Rocky would get sent to exile island, simply because he seems like the type who wouldn't be able to survive a night alone without adult supervision.
I love the fact that the luxury tribe seem to think that Yao-Man (who's name seems like something a cryptozoologist would be looking for) is one of the strong players on the other team because he showed an early ability to open coconuts, when in reality he is as dumb as the rest.
No early favorites for a win. Heck, I don't even have any players who I would be disapointed to see get voted out.The only people who cannot be racist are American Indians. 
Strangely, this is the first season in which I’m looking forward to the merge.
Had to see my daughter play bassoon at 7:30 (she was "outstanding, BTW) so consistent with my current “casual” watching, I caught the first 15 minutes through the reward challenge, and the very end from the voting on.
Cannot find words to explain how turned off I was by the “rich kids’” attitudes during the RC. The one shit bringing food along and the others smirking away. Just ugly shit I’m not really interested in watching.
I don’t at all care for the haves/have-nots division this season.

A friend wanted to make a film featuring the Kwakiutl tribe set in a time before the Europeans came. Basically:
Friend: I want to make a film featuring the Kwakiutl before the Europeans came. I want to be as accurate as possible about the lives of the tribes, the festivals, etc.
Tribal Elders: You’re white. You can’t tell our story.
Friend: That’s why I’m here – to make sure I don’t get anything wrong.
Tribal Elders: You’re white.
Just want to say Sweetums your post made me laugh. Lisi the hutt! HA, I was trying earlier to think of something insulting to say about her, without calling her straight out fat (Mostly because she isn’t Fat per se, just in TVLand). Plus bonus points for using “cryptozoologist”.

Thanks! I started thinking of her as Lisi the Hutt not only because she does have a few extra pounds (as you said, she reallys isn't what most would call fat), but because she seems to think of herself as the criminal mastermind.
Honestly I half expect to see Stacy sitting next to Lisi's throne, laughing when they threaten to turn the next person voted out into bantha poodoh.

Oh my god…the visual of Stacy as Salacious Crumb is too freakin’ much…
But … but … if Lisi’s the Hutt, then who has to wear the Princess-Leia-love-slave outfit? Alex, Edgardo, or Boo?

Oh! Oh! Boo. Definitely Boo. Although I would like to propose, much as it pains me to reward her that much, that she have THREE slave guys in gold-mesh bikini briefs.

Cassandra, obv. Just before they drop her in a pit.
Alex is therefore Boba Fett (as the onyl one with brains), Boo is Bib Fortuna, and I guess that makes Edgardo a Gamorrean guard.
Oh, I’m sorry, is my geek showing?

I originally read that statement too quickly and ended up with Mountain Dew and Dorito bits up my nose, because I thought it said “Gonorrhea guard,” and I couldn’t figure out what that was, and how you knew about it.
Nothing to see here. These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.
