Time for a Survivor Fiji style casting?

Where no one is considered a minority in the game. As this season proved, it gave people of colour a fair chance at playing the game and weren't subconsciously targeted for being different.

YES


BBUK needs it too

[Marsh.]

Positive discrimination. Yay. :umm2:

I'm sure the ethnic minorities would love it. Let's have an all black cast so we can have an all black final and a black winner guaranteed. Woo!!!

[Macie Lightfoot]

And even more importantly, almost all of them were recruits <3 <3 <3

It's not an all black cast though. The point is being made that for that season the producers weren't just ticking off one black woman, one black man, one gay, one Asian, one transgender if they're lucky. We need more of this in the BB franchise tbh like BB6 had

[AarynGriesfan]

Yes lets try to duplicate the cast of one the most disliked seasons if Survivor.

You don't even watch BBUSA bye

Anyway the whole point of this type of casting isn't to ensure an ethnic person wins, it's to show everyone is equal and that people of all races are represented equally and given a fair chance.

They shouldn't be ticking boxes, although this is a bit over the other side of the spectrum. :laugh:

They need a true representative in all ways, such as age and background as well.

So?

Bye.

That's exactly what was done. :laugh:

Your point is? I love it when recruits are found like this. Recruits aren't inherently bad, it's the way in which they are cast predominatly on Big Brother that's the issue.

Also, my point was regarding the OP not Macie's post, so your supposed 'witty' emoticon is irrelevant.

(Note to self, Raph has no sense of humour)

[Headie]

(Note to self, Marsh and his humour should stay away from the BBUSA section since he doesn't even watch it anyway)

Love how you completely ignored the point of my post. Everyone deserves equal treatment and representation. I'm tired of seeing the same old type casting every year.

Wasn't this series of Survivor hated though?

Yes

[Mystic Mock]

Yes

I thought so.

I wonder what did go wrong with it? I've only watched China and Gabon so far.

A million things really. Mostly they just picked a horrible cast. I think they were too worried about having a certain number of people from a specific race instead of just finding the best people possible.

That can happen quite a lot sadly, don't get me wrong I like a diverse cast on Reality Shows (hence why BBUK has been **** for me since it's move to Ch5) but casting people to fit certain criterias by forcing it is never going to work, or not likely too.

BB6UK is the only time I can think really where that actually did work.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Fiji's really not THAT bad and I never understand why it gets so much hate when Cook Islands was right before it. I personally think Fiji's weaknesses have more to do with the general misogyny you see on Survivor and the Haves/Have Nots twist ruining the pre-merge. I thought the post-merge was decent enough, but it takes some determination to get there.

[Headie]

I actually liked Fiji :laugh: It's better than Cook Islands, Redemption Island etc.

Which means you completely missed my point, that positive discrimination and PC casting is just as bad. :smug:

Cook Islands is also a very poor season. The combination of Cook Islands and Fiji back to back caused me to take a season of before coming back for Fans vs Favorites. I haven't re watched Fiji and maybe it does suffer a bit because Cook Islands was before it but I don't think either of them are good and probably won't go back and rewatch it.

[armand.kay]

cook island really wasn't bad at all.

[AarynGriesfan]

cook island really wasn't bad at all.

The mutiny episode was interesting and Cook Islands had a bunch of people that will end up being huge stars but for whatever reason the season just didn't work. I always figured if you have a good cast that you will have a good season no matter what but this season proved that isn't always true.

Of course you would find it bad

[Raph]

Of course you would find it bad

This. They are an Aryan Gries fan afterall #goracism

[LemonJam]

Tbh I can't tell if most of this cast is good or not because almost everyone that went pre-merge got horrible edits and the majority of people that made jury were dire.

That said, Lisi is a top tier reality TV personality. <3

[Calderyon]

Fiji was a good season, but not the best imo.

[854]

The only issue is that many middle america conservatives probably are not gonna support it.

Another thing is the race war, and minority alliances. Like the asian alliance, or the black alliance. etc.

I remember during Survivor Fiji, on Day one, Cassandra who was runner up, made a black alliance, and the entire f3 consisted of African Americans.

That could be a reason as to why people hate Fiji. lol.

[brisbanebroncos]

I thought Fiji was awesome. How can anyone not love Yau man? Also Dreamz decision at the end was awesome to watch. Not to mention seeing the first misuse of the immunity idol.
