Syndicated version has an awfully high number of non-white contestants..



... or so it seems. For being 87% of the population there should be better than 8 days out of 10, but it appears to be reverse for the contestants here.

Yes, seems closer to half. I don't particularly care. But the producers do, it's quite deliberate.

They're just aiming for demographics. The minorities they aim for should resent being commercialized, but they don't, they go "look, we're on TV!".

Producers do anything they can to manipulate viewership, whether it's bottom-line ethical or not.

Well, it kind of makes you wonder if the ball drop is rigged... maybe someone has their finger on a brake button that they can choose exactly what number case they want?

We see too many white people on TV anyways.

That's because there ARE too many white people. And every other 'people' as well. I'm up to my neck with people. I think we should take all the people, puttem on a big boat, send it across the ocean and sink it halfway.

I don't think they resent getting the chance to win $1,000,000.

It's purposeful, trying to attract more minority viewers.
