I feel like we just left Fiji, and Earl, and Yau-Man. But here we are again with another season of Survivor, and this time they're filming a U.S.-produced show for the first time in China, which is actually pretty cool. That doesn't mean that the actually contestants are going to be any less, you know, camera-hoggy.

We're working on a betting guide to the next season, so look out for that sometime next week, after the long Labor Day weekend.

Fear not, there are a slew of other props about Survivor that you can pick from to bet on over at Bodog:

Will CBS publicly announce, in 2007, that Survivor 16 will be an All-Stars edition?
Yes EVEN
No -140

You know, it's been awhile since we've had an All-Stars version of the show, and it'd be cool to see who'd be available to do it this time around. We love seeing the old folks make a comeback.

Will CBS publicly announce, in 2007, that Survivor 16 will be the last installment in the reality TV series?
Yes +400
No -700

The show's been going on for 7 years now, and its ratings are steadily declining (for the most part), but people still care about it.

Will Survivor host Jeff Probst sign on to host Survivor 17?
Yes -500
No +300

He should, dammit. Because who else can be as Probsty and Jeff Probst, yo? (But Phil Keoghan, who hosts The Amazing Race, wouldn't be too bad, though.)

Will Survivor 16 be set on an Island?
Yes -300
No +200

You know, they haven't done a Survivor on any weird islands in the Mediterranean yet, have they? That would be different, right?

Which hemisphere will Survivor 16 be filmed in?
Western +200
Eastern -300

The better odds are on the Eastern, but that's probably because they have more islands in the Eastern Hemisphere.

Which continent will Survivor 16 be filmed in?
North/Central America 9/5
South America 9/2
Europe 12/1
Asia 6/5
Africa 5/1
Australia 9/1
Antarctica 500/1

You know, Survivor: Antarctica would be completely awesome, but it's too extreme of an environment for this kind of show. Maybe if they did it on one of the islands off of Alaska or up in Canada?

Which tribe will the winner of Survivor China be from originally?
Fei Long -120
Zhan Hu -120

We can't really speculate on this yet, since the tribes haven't been chosen yet.

Will the winner of Survivor China be male or female?
Male -125
Female -115

The ladies have the edge here, but is that because one of the women is a pro wrestler for the WWE?

Will any of the Survivor China contestants require medical attention during the season?
Yes +150
No -200

Let's hope not, but you never know. The odds are pointing to no, probably because we haven't heard any rumors from the filming that someone was seriously hurt. Then again the production is very tight-lipped.
