Odds of Winning

An online gambling site has set odds for winning Survivor Guatemala, here they are:

Danni 2/1
Gary 2/1
Brian 3/1
Amy 4/1
Rafe 4/1
Cindy 4/1
Brandon 5/1
Jim 5/1
Morgan 7/1
Brooke 7/1
Brianna 7/1
Judd 10/1
Jamie 10/1
Margaret 15/1
Blake 15/1
Lydia 20/1

Just quickly looking at these odds, I'd say if you want a decent long shot then take Blake. I also think Judd has a better than 10/1 shot.

Gary's
odds should be longer. Yes he's a former professional athlete but he's still 47 years old (and reportedly has trouble playing golf!) and competing against 20 year olds. Gary seems like an outgoing, likable guy but I'm not sure that's enough to make him the co-favorite.

Danni
is properly the favorite. She's had a lot of experience in dealing with inter-personal politics (beauty pageant contestant, talk show host) and is athletic (she runs marathons).
