Reacting so strongly that the show has been pulled from tv....

Uh, what are you talking about? Had the show been pulled after only one episode it would have been all over the news. Can you provide links that support your claim?

Survivor is one of CBS' solid rating grabbing shows, I seriously doubt they're going to pull the plug because it's ruffling a few feathers.
