Who will win?

Anyone of the groups could. It will depend on who the shows pick to represent their enthnic group.

I will be watching to see if they continue with the same team challenges. They have almost always had one that involve swimming and diving underwater? They also have one with somewhat complicated puzzles.

I think it will be possibly interesting to how the various teams organize themselves. How they construct their shelters, get food and cook it etc.

I expect the latinos and asians to fare rather well in these various "survivor" type task. But seems to me they usually pick clueless urban types as whites.

ok, i'm white and these are obvious stereotypes meant to be jokes. they should not be offensive unless you take them seriously.

edit: actually forget it, i'm not going to risk it.

Who will actually win:

Based on odds you would think that a white or latino would the best chance since they are essentially the same race, just different ethnic groups. That gives them 10 chances to win, while the blacks and Asian only have 5 each.

Since people tend to associate with people who are similar to them that gives the white and latino contestants more people to make alliances, and the game is all about who you are allied with.

Asians would seem to have the next best chance, since they tend to get along better with whites and latinos than blacks do.

Blacks would seem to have the worst chanc again, because of the 4 ethnic groups, blacks are the most 'different' and therefore in theory would have the hardest time making alliances.

Of course all this is based soley on race and goes completely out the window when dealing with individuals.

The show should be won by either someone who is a charismatic group leader (Richard season 1 Ethan season 3) or someone who hangs on with the right alliance and wins at the end because they are more liked (Tina season 2) of course we can't forget the "hot babe" as well (Jenna season 6 or Amber All-Stars)

hispanics and blacks will probably become allies as they tend to identify with one another better, same with Asians and whites. for some reason, blacks and hispanics always feel threatened by asians, and oppressed by white people.

BTW this is a horrible idea for the show.

LOL...pay some one else to do it. White people's greatest strength is our boat loads of cash!

I might watch this one, because I too enjoy a good train wreck.

I haven't watched this show much, but one thing that interests me is even some of the physical challenges it isn't always about who is strongest. I remember watching one where they had to push eachother off of a circular platform (kind of like sumo wrestling, only these used a bag to push with) and the results were surprising. The flat out biggest and strongest guy (he was tall and built like a tank) lost every round. His center of gravity was to high and he had a poor technique. Other players just got under him.

They pick clueless types throughout. They usually have two or three people that are probably strong...and then they are voted out early because "they're a threat". They throw in a few useless old people, a couple underwear models that arrive on set starving to death and only have the ability to whine, and a handful of drama producing douchebag people.

sounds like CBS is just doing what happens naturally in society. if you take 100 random people and put them in a large room they will segregate themselves for the most part.

Latinos cuz mexiCANs CAN.....but in all seriousness i think it's just going to be stupid all depends on the people there, not what type of race they are from.........you have strong, lazy, quick, fat people from all races.....it just depends on who the producers picked from each race in order to show what the producers wanted to show.

Why are people so concerned with being politically correct? Is everyone that much of a limp-wristed bitch that they can't classify people by race/ethnicity anymore?
Next time you fill out any sort of application or paperwork that asks for your race/ethnicity, you should hold a protest.
Race/ethicity is one of the top things to classify people by, like it or not. If you don't like it, you're a fool.

A white person will win. They won't play the race card when voted off.
