survivors 14-20

"What's Survivor going to do next to crassly manufacture publicity?" I snorted self-righteously. "One tribe composed of children, the other of pedophiles?"

It was then that Katrina hit upon a pretty good idea, kind of a Survivor/30 Days hybrid in which traditionally warring camps take to the Survivor beaches. Pro-choice and pro-life tribes. Rednecks and crystal-gripping hippies. Israeli settlers and Hezbollah. Shiites and Sunnis. Red Sox fans and Yankee fans.

We could even issue the contestants a gun instead of a flint. Is it just me, or would this make for vastly more compelling television than seeing Asians take on Hispanics in a tug-of-war?
