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?

31. This is a sad time for american television. I have no doubt this will be a ratings winner but at what cost?

Anyone who says this does not have anything to do with which race is better is missing the point. Conclusions will be drawn and CBS is banking on the mayhem that will ensue.

32. # 15 you are a nut!!!! Too funny!

While I in no way agree with this stupied premise, personally I think CBS is grasping for straws to save this trainwreck of a show. I have to agree that this will be the test of tests, and no one will win because at the end of the show everyone will be dead due to a concentrated amount of racism and the inability to get off the island.

33. #15 you are a nut, too funny!!!!!

While I in no way promote this stupied premise, CBS is grasping for straws to save this trainwreck of a show, I do think this will be interesting. In my opinion, no one will win because of the concentrated amount of racism and seeing as CBS probably pre-screened these "contestants" to find the most volatile personalities, they will probably end up killing each other due to the inability to get off that "island".

34. People who are upset about the racial divide haven't watched much survivor. When they start with four teams, they become two teams within the first or second show. It's usually random, but can be a school yard pick. I don't think they will be racially divided by the third show. That means in survivor speak, six days tops. One or two of the racially divivded teams will lose one member, then it's back to the same old, same old.

36. Jewish isn't technically a race, but Hebrew is. They weren't included, though, because they own the network. Go Asians. (I'm white, by the way, and we crackers take over everything, so I will vote for the cooler of all of them.) Though, if you look at it logically, the hispanics (if like most of the ones here in Vegas) will win, because they are the most willing to work. Which really is not a bad thing. Blacks and whites, they don't like physical labor, and the Asians are smart enough that they get the good jobs (such as engineers and physicians).
