| 2006-08-23 | |
| (CBS) In just a couple of weeks, the new season of "Survivor" takes 20 castaways to the Cook Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. They will be split into four tribes, but how they will do that is guaranteed to be a talking point. For the 13th installment of the series, producers have yet another controversial way to begin the game: 20 people, four tribes — each divided by race. African-American Tribe: Make-up artist, Rebecca Borman, 34, from Laurelton, N.Y. Jazz musician and recording artist Sekou Bunch, 45, of Los Angeles Nursing student Stephannie Favor, 35, of Columbia, S.C.

| #2 I would put my money on the white tribe because they have a better balance of skills if the occupations account for anything. |
