This one comes to us from Variety.
Apparently there was some drama on Survivor recently when one of the episodes was spoiled due to widely circulated reports about the odds on these prediction markets, Kalshi and Polymarket.
On both platforms, Aubrey Bracco was forecast to have an above 80% chance of winning before this season even premiered.

We have to start pretty soon, like a segment that's just about people getting caught for doing stupid stuff on prediction markets.
Because in addition to the George Santos thing and the survivor thing, there was also a story about a Google engineer who was charged with using inside information to make a million dollars on Polymarket by placing bets on allegedly what users were searching for.
