The Odds Are In For Which Race Will "Survive"

Posted Aug 26th 2006 10:00AM by TMZ Staff

In wake of the very controversial new season of hit reality television series "Survivor", Bodog.com has posted odds on which team will finish first on the show .

The newest installment of the reality show features tribes made up of contestants separated by their ethnicity. White, Asian American, Hispanic, and African-American tribes will be playing to survive the Polynesian Cook Islands.

Here are the numbers:

The Asian Americans......................13/7
The Hispanics.................................3/1
The African-American......................7/3
The Whites.....................................3/2

To the average Joe who doesn't play the sportsbook, this basically says that Whites will triumph, Blacks a close second (betting on them will double your bet), Hispanics in third (will pay three times your bet), and Asians have no chance.

TMZ wants to know what about the Indians and the Jews?

1. The Asians (at 13/7) are actually the second favorite.

2. You have asians at 13/7. Doesn't that make them 2nd most likely to win? Or is that a typo?

3. Asians are 13/7 which means they are 2nd favorites to win. 13/7 doesn't quite double your money.

4. You morons need to go back to school and take remedial math. My 10 year old could tell you that you screwed up the order.

The order is Whites, Asians, Blacks, Hispanics.

7. Jewish is no more or less a "race" than Hispanic. Still, should make for an interesting show as long as people have fun with it and don't get all PC about it like I've been hearing.

8. I guarantee everyone here - that no matter which race wins -

There's going to be racism talk all over the place. There's no possible way you can get away from that. I predict:

- If the Blacks win, it'll be attributed to their "slave gene". Or because it's rigged due to "needing to throw 1 black man a bone for every 100 white man's banquet".
- If the Asians win, it'll be because "well slanty eyes give them an advantage, them being good at math and all"
- If the Whites win, well it'll just be attributed to a setup, tieing closely to the whole Illuminati thing.
- If the Hispanics win, hmmm not sure what to say about this one.

It's a No win situation.
