I might even watch it then.

Actually, I probably wouldn't.

You'd watch. And you'd probably even host a Survivor party to watch it every Thursday.

How is separation along ethnic lines more offensive than separation along gender lines?

I'll watch anyway. I'm hoping there will be some hot medics with Kiwi accents.

These are both excellent points. Babette's post reminded me of a Chappelle show sketch where he says that anyone who watches reality TV would think that black people are crazy, because they stick one black guy in with the craziest white people they can find and the black guy goes nuts. So in Chappelle's sketch they stuck one white guy in with the craziest black people they could create...pretty damn funny.

Oh God, kill me now!

But, sadly, you're probably right. I just would be in the kitchen while everyone was watching. I love a party and, a wee hour for some bad TV is doable.
