50% BIPOC 2 Seasons in

As you can tell by now, I didn’t get any post done by Sunday. This is now the fourth post that I’ve missed in this blog during the summer hiatus. I normally don’t miss any. This is bad. Half of them I wouldn’t have missed if I wasn’t double posting on Sundays. I’m once again going back to just posting this blog on Wednesdays during the meantime until I finally have an old season’s episode of this show to post again or I mess up again.

 

Anyways, let’s get to the post! I thought that it would make sense to do an analysis briefly on the fact that half of the cast of each new season has to be BIPOC. Or, put another way, they have to not be white people. I think that I like it so far, although it will be hard to tell just how it will work going forward, especially if they keep doing it for the rest of Survivor’s run.

 

There’s not much else to compare it to compared to Cook Islands and Fiji when they didn’t really do that much right in terms of sorting the casts the first time around just to switch them around three episodes in when it happened in Cook Islands and the cast was the weakest it ever was in Fiji. What can we even compare all of the other seasons before 41 then? Seasons with returning players would change a lot of the potential of who could be cast.

 

For better or worse, they do talk about it and it is part of the show beyond simply who is on it. This has affected the alliances and the game play of the show. It also has affected who won the show as there are more potential for non-whites to win if there are more non-whites playing the game. I can’t think of anything wrong with it at the moment. I’m unsure if people even complain about the simple political correctness or wokeness of it if you will.

 

There’s not much else to talk about in this blog post. I look forward to seeing this be part of Survivor and hope that it doesn’t lead to anything to absurd happening. Besides, we are more likely to get absurd things from twists, the producers, and Jeff more than anything else from this casting change. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
