Surviving in 'Survivor'

They say in Sydney if you haven't started studying for exams by the time the jacarandas are in flower, you are in trouble! Well, they've nearly finished flowering now...


I am in the middle of exam period but let that not stop the watching of Survivor: Cook Islands!

I was talking about acceptance a few posts ago and decided to put my theory (well, it isn't mine but anyway...) to the test. Is acceptance truly acceptance of diversity???
Let's see all the people who've been knocked out so far...they have had either one or more of these characteristics:
1) overweight
2) black (Sekou, Stephannie)
3) interested in alternative hobbies (Billy and heavy metal music)
4) Irritating, eccentric personalities (Cao Boi)
5) Mean to the others (JP)
6) Bossy and overly motherly (Christina)
The people left are all athletic, good-looking and intelligent and are seemingly 'normal' (ie little if any eccentricities, not noticeably irritating)...acceptance equals fit into the conforming box?? I leave that for you to decide...
