Depends . If states can choose the contestants themselves , then it ' s the richest states because they ' ll have the best training facilities to create competitors , so probably CaliforniaNew YorkTexas etc . , you get the idea . If it ' s by random then Florida . Statistically , Florida produces the most military servicemenwomen per capita and is also to a lesser extent one of the states which produces many athletes . They certainly have a bigger statistical advantage . Also the military culture in the southeast helps , even if you ' re not in the military you ' re probably going to know more about guns and survival if you ' re from Bumfuck , Florida than Manhattan , New York . <| sep |> I mean during the first quarter it was in Dallas ' s eyes so it ' s not like it ' s super unfair .
