Divided into Ethnic Groups for 'Survivor'

And off we go......

I'm sure this story will run for a while, but first cut is Survivor is basically dividing the contestants into 4 initial groups, based on their ethnicity (Black, White, Asian, Hispanic). The groups will merge later in the series, as is the norm, but I'm sure there'll be at least a bit of controversy over this.

Survivor says that it's a way to get more varied contestants, as 80% of the applications are from white people. Stay tuned to the pipes for all the latest..
