Survivor 14 will be in China!

To all those CBS TV Show Survivor fans... Just read in the Sunday Chicago Tribune the next season will take place in China! The show will air starting September.

I love incorporating popular culture into daily classroom lessons to spark interest. This will definitely be something useful.

Those of you not familiar with the series. You should check the past two seasons. Full season recaps and (some have episodes) are available on CBS.COM. For sure you can find it on Youtube.

Season 12 was an experiment with ethnicity (divided groups by ethnic background: Caucasian, African-American, Latin-American, Asian-American). The winner...I won't spoil it if you haven't seen it.

Season 13 was an experiment with race and physical being. Not all contestants are athletic. The winner...I won't spoil it either. But, one popular contestant - YauMan - did the Chinese people proud! He used very good strategy and he explained his rationale in a very "Chinese" philosophical style.

Anyways...sounds interested? Take the summer time and watch it for yourself.
