SURVIVOR XIII!!
Race War Begins Now??

I am – Hercules!!

“Big Brother” has been off the air barely 24 hours and I already got the shakes!

Two things I want to say about “Survivor’s” new ethnic slant:

1) My understanding is there are only ethnically pure teams during the first three days. Integration begins before the second eviction.

2) Is it harder to form a solid alliance when only five percent of your tribe shares your ethnicity? Because 15 of the 20 contestants are said to be non-white in nature, I’m guessing there is a higher likelihood that a non-white could go home in December with a million bucks.

There have not been a ton of Latino-, Asian- or African-American winners over the past 12 seasons. One could argue this season’s casting goes a long way to level the reality-show playing field.

8 p.m. Thursday. CBS.
