It’s only been a matter of days since we were introduced to the contestants on two of 2016’s most eagerly anticipated shows, Survivor and The Bachelor. But already the fans aren’t happy.
Channel 10 is facing immense backlash on social media over the lack of ethnic diversity on the two programmes, with critics accusing them of “whitewashing” the casts.
Survivor’s final lineup was selected from a pool of 1500 applicants, after Network Ten issued a casting call for “men and women of all ages, backgrounds and locations around Australia.”
What they ended up with was 24 people aged between 23-64 with professions including lawyer, magician and former professional cricketer.

Well done viewing public, should get onto the sponsors of these shows next, and then watch the colour of the contestants faces change............always works when the hip pocket is hit.
On a side note, anyone planning to watch Survivor, the gentleman Sam Webb (pictured bottom 4th from left) is one of the creators of a charity called Livin which is about suicide prevention and mental health. The slogan, it ain't weak to speak, is all about talking to your mates and not being alone when you need help. Its a great charity and has really helped me out.
I had no idea he was in it until i read this article (as I don't want the show) however will now be watching it and here's hoping he wins it.
