Forget Race, it's hair and age that decide your "Survivor" fate

Survivor proves that any new twist they put over this formula isn't going to change the nature of the self absorbed narcissicistic gym rat. Putting aside, for a moment, the bizarro antics of Billy, it's not hard to see that so far the eliminated can be counted among the "Square Pegs" of the crowd.
Both Sekou and Billy wore bandanas in their bio pictures. Is there a bald bias this season or is it the same old age bias that always surfaces? With no real oldsters on the tribes this season it looks like Cao Boi and Jonathan will be next for winnowing out.
But all of this raises another question: could the recent allusions that producers are coaching reality show contestants in efforts to refine the crowd and force interesting twists?
