And I am relieved that Anjay is not one of the annoying kids on the show. Actually, he is just there. Very little presence. But I guess that's better than being this annoying little child beauty queen (yeah, you guessed it, she is from the South) named Taylor who is the Bad Seed and makes all other kids seem like little angels.</p> <p>There was this segment on religion. Anjay was the only Hindu in the camp(how the casting directors could not find a single Muslim or Mormon to include in such a huge cast is beyond me). So they show Anjay praying to Durga sitting on a tiger. A few girls stare in part amusement and part curiosity, including a curious Christian Korean girl(she could be Chinese, but for some reason I tend to associate religious Asian American Christians with Korean Americans). This is where I wonder if there was some producer help. Anjay starts reciting Hindu mantras. Either he is from a pretty religious family, or he has an excellent memory. I wonder if the producers asked his parents for some mantras and gave them to Anjay to recite.</p> <p>So then the girls come to Anjay and ask giggly and good naturedly what Hinduism is and how many gods he prays to. Anjay, to his credit, is not defensive, and calmly explains that there are a lot of Gods, and blah blah. The next shot is pretty amusing as they show the Korean girl do her version of Indian prayers and she seemed to get a kick out of it. I hope her church people won't start fainting at that scene because of her idol worship. (it was funny to see a grown Christian radio host get bent out of shape in Survivor China when they had to be in a Buddhist chamber where prayers were offered , but it was clearly explained that it was not religious and not meant to claim allegiance from other faiths).</p> <p>I was also pleased that there were a couple of athiests among the kids who had no problem expressing their views.</p> Well I watch this show.

I wholeheartedly agree with your theory.

You mean…the theory…which #71 said was a joke, in part to ward off brilliant responses like this:

How fortunate that you’re tall, since I doubt that women (or men) would be attracted to that stunning intellect.
