Three-time U.S. “Survivor” participant Russell Hantz has made no bones about his issues with season 41 and his latest criticism is that the Black castaways are working collectively, which he says is admirable, nonetheless it’s inflicting him to shock if the current goes to indicate into “Blacks vs whites” any additional.

Hantz Acknowledged If His Son Carried out ‘Survivor,’ He’d Advise Him to Vote Off Black Players If They Have been Working Collectively

In his latest YouTube video, Hantz dissected episode six of “Survivor,” which is the episode the place Shantel Smith, Liana Wallace, Danny McCray, and Deshawn Radden decided to start working collectively.

Hantz took problem with the reality that Shantel talked about that’s primarily probably the most varied strong in historic previous and that it represents America. He doesn’t assume the numbers are correct and he’s every proper and incorrect because of it relies upon upon which numbers you could be talking about.

In accordance with the 2020 census, white of us alone (not Hispanic or Latino) make up 57.8 p.c of the U.S. inhabitants, which suggests of us of color are 42.2 p.c. This strong was break up 50/50 and that’s pretty shut. The breakdown of the avid gamers of color is the place the strong doesn’t signify the American inhabitants. There are six Black avid gamers, which is 1/3 of the strong. Inside the U.S., Black of us alone (not Hispanic or Latino) signify 12 p.c of the inhabitants, whereas Hispanic or Latino individuals are 18.7 p.c. All totally different of us signify 11 p.c. So, contained in the “Survivor” strong, the Black proportion is overrepresented, the Asian proportion is overrepresented and the Latino proportion is underrepresented.

Nonetheless regardless of how exactly the strong shows the American inhabitants, Hantz thinks this means the current goes to indicate into “Blacks vs. whites.”

Hantz talked about he respects Deshawn for saying “it’s foolish to not work collectively.”

“He’s correct. It’s foolish to not work collectively because of he sees that it is a likelihood that [he’s] gonna take,” talked about Hantz. Nonetheless Hantz talked about what happens eventually seasons?

“What happens when that turns spherical in season 42 and 43? What happens when a white specific particular person says it’s foolish for me to not cast off a Black specific particular person because of I do know they’re eliminating a white specific particular person? What happens when strategic of us play this sport?” puzzled Hantz.

“I agree with [Deshawn], he’s correct. He should go all one of the simplest ways with this alliance and presumably he’ll win the game. Nonetheless what I’m saying is, ‘What comes subsequent?’ What happens if I play as soon as extra? What happens if I watch these seasons and I see this happening after which I play? … what, I’m gonna inform you — if my son wanted to play ‘Survivor,’ I’d say hear, do you have to see the ‘Black of us’ getting collectively, vote one off so you will have numbers, strategically. Strategically! What happens when of us try and play this sport strategically now! [Deshawn is] doing it! He merely talked about it — he’s doing it! If a white specific particular person does it, then impulsively, he’s prejudiced. I’m sure I’m gonna get some slack on this video, nonetheless I don’t care, by one of the simplest ways. I’m gonna say what I need to say,” talked about Hantz.

Hantz moreover added that he’s “not prejudiced” because of there are Black of us in his family: “Six of my nieces and nephews are Black. My grandchild is Black. My daughter is married to a Black man.”

This comes on the heels of Hantz saying that “Survivor” is now too “woke” and that’s why its rankings maintain falling — though its rankings are falling primarily the similar amount that each fall season has fallen from the sooner fall season for the earlier 4 years, and actually, when you remember delayed viewing, “Survivor” stays to be getting comparatively sturdy rankings, notably considering that rankings are down all through broadcast TV.

Hantz is simply not a fan of host Jeff Probst breaking the fourth wall to tell viewers what’s happening, notably when he revealed near the best of the current that no person was going dwelling that week.

“Jeff received right here on the digicam and talked about no person going dwelling tonight … OK, thanks. That’s weird because of presumably I don’t wanna watch the current now?” talked about Hantz, which he isn’t incorrect about. That was a weird component to supply away so early on inside the episode.

Nonetheless Hantz moreover blasted Erika for crying about how onerous her life was when she was rising up — because of he thinks it’s unimaginable to have had a tricky upbringing in Canada.

“We see her crying and he or she says she’s had it powerful in life — this cute (very cute) youthful Filipino lady — she’s had it very powerful in life within the place? Canada … Canadians are a number of of the nicest of us on this planet! In case you’re having it powerful in Canada, then oh my lady.

She says Canada. … I can’t sit there and cry for you,” talked about Hantz.

Properly, it’s positively doable that her life was onerous even when it was in Canada.
