Survivor: Guatemala---The Maya Empire: TV Guide News

Survivor: Guatemala---The Maya Empire
26 photos
The 11th edition of the reality series unleashes 18 people in the jungles of Guatemala to vie for the $1-million grand prize. The players consist of 16 new castaways (including ex-NFL quarterback Gary Hogeboom) and two veteran contestants (Stephenie LaGrossa, Bobby Jon Drinkard) from the `Palau' edition. `Guatemala' is one of the show's most grueling outings. It begins with a brutal 11-mile hike in oppressive heat that takes a toll on some of the game's strongest players.
  • December 14, 2006: The True Puppet Master | TV Show Recaps | 12/15/2006
    For some reason I really thought Parvati would end up in the finals. Not due to any true game play on her part, but merely out of some cosmic irony. Rarely have I seen a castaway who has done as little as she. I was wrong. Even with the seismic tremors at Aitu — Becky and Sundra maneuvering to oust Ozzy — the easily influenced Yul pulled his strings and chose Adam as the Raro member most worthy of staying.As much as Yul denies it, he is the top dog on the island, and he wears the... read more
  • December 7, 2006: Everybody Hates Jonathan | TV Show Recaps | 12/8/2006
    And now we know why Parvati doesn't do any work at camp. It's just not safe. The girl nearly sliced her thumb off trying to open a coconut. Tragic as that may have been, Parvati's mishap allowed us another glimpse of that cute Aussie doctor from last season. Her sacrifice will not go unnoticed in my book. This week was the family visits. Sundra's heartfelt weeping at the sight of her mother had me wondering if she'd be able to actually perform in the reward challenge of throwing water from one... read more
  • November 30, 2006: King Rat | TV Show Recaps | 12/1/2006
    This show is so good I am almost moved to write poetry, and yet there are no words to express how much I'm enjoying Survivor: Cook Islands. Alas, I will attempt to recap the happenings at the Aitutonga tribe. In the aftermath of Nate's departure, Parvati was outspoken about her disappointment in Jonathan. She was so upset with him that she could vomit on his face. Now, she's billed as a boxer. Would a right cross not suffice? Parvati did make me laugh — when Jonathan flat-out told her... read more
  • November 23, 2006: "If I Flip Again..." | TV Show Recaps | 11/24/2006
    I hate to say I told you so…but Nate perhaps you should have worn your glasses to tribal because you should have seen your ouster coming. Though it is clear from your parting words – Jonathan you can kiss my ass. You're a dirty, stanky, whack, fruitcake who sold me out, who sold out our tribe when we brought you in. You trading bastard. So kiss my ass Jonathan – that you were somewhat surprised and upset. On the other hand I don't know if anything could have saved Nate. His... read more
  • November 16, 2006: Four Straight Wins | TV Show Recaps | 11/17/2006
    I love, love, love this show! It has excitement; it has conflict; it has betrayal; it has underdogs; it even has new verbs. Where else would you hear about octopussing? And Rebecca, if you chose only to speak one word during this week's show, I'm glad it was that one. Let's see, it is day 22, and over the course of the next three days Aitu pulled out another two challenge wins — making it a four-challenge sweep since the infamous mutiny. I'm so pleased for this underdog team, and who says... read more
  • November 9, 2006: And Then There Were Four | TV Show Recaps | 11/10/2006
    Well, well, well. The show is getting interesting again. The Mutiny on the Bounty theme added a much-needed jolt to the Cook Islands Survivor. Jeff tossed out this new twist just before the reward challenge and, through the magic of editing, just after Jonathan and Candice chatted about breaking up their alliance of six. The offer? Mutiny. With ten seconds to decide, castaways could switch tribes. The only takers? Candice and Jonathan — thus leaving Aitu shorthanded with only four members... read more
  • November 2, 2006: Who You Calling a 'Nancy Boy'? | TV Show Recaps | 11/3/2006
    Clearly Candice is just a loving person. She loves Billy. She loves Adam. But she really loves peanut butter. Like, loves peanut butter would make her declare, "I'm in love with everybody that I can see right now." I mean, it's only been 17 days. Maybe I just don't eat peanut butter that much, but I’m pretty sure that a two-week hiatus from it would not have me kissing on Flicka. And what’s up with Brad? I'm sorry, but peanut butter and potatoes just don't go together. I don't care... read more
  • October 26, 2006: A Repeat by Any Other Name... | TV Show Recaps | 10/27/2006
    Eighteen days in and the producers are still trying to reel in new viewers with this CliffNotes, catch-me-up episode. That's right, it's recap time on Survivor: Cook Islands. Rather than just stroll down memory lane, we regular viewers were also treated to 14 new and easily identifiable scenes — the most riveting of which was Adam and Candice's Day 2 adventure at sea that left them stranded and shivering on a sandbar and had them ultimately abandoning ship in a desperate effort to swim... read more
  • October 12, 2006: Talk Ain't Cheap | TV Show Recaps | 10/13/2006
    You have to watch what you say on Survivor or it could cost you big. Just ask Stephannie, who watched her million-dollar dreams drift away on an imaginary plate of mashed potatoes. I feel bad for Stephannie because Nate, who, despite his declarations, is no friend to Stephannie, has been trying to get this woman off the island for the last two weeks. How do you take "I could go for some mashed potatoes and gravy" to mean, "Gee, I can't wait to get off this island"? I’m sorry that... read more
  • October 5, 2006: The Ghost of Billy | TV Show Recaps | 10/6/2006
    You know, there really may be something to this whole karma thing. It’s almost too delicious to see J.P. and Ozzy knocked down a peg. Ozzy, mastermind of the Billy ouster, has done his best to keep himself in the game ever since the merge. He has been running around in the challenges like nobody's business, diving, swimming, doing whatever it takes to keep his group from going to tribal council. Back at camp he's hauling in fish left and right and making sure everyone knows it. Don't... read more
  • September 28, 2006: Survivors, Ready? | TV Show Recaps | 9/29/2006
    Survivor aficionados know there's a certain lingo that goes along with the show. For some it's comforting, for others, mind-numbingly repetitive. Me? I like it. Jeff's catchphrases are a constant that I can rely on each week as the number of castaways dwindles. That said...First things first: We couldn't move on from last week's show without finishing up Billy's love story. Back at camp, Aitu continued to dismiss the love, and the next day, after the tribes merged, Cecilia went directly to... read more
  • September 21, 2006: "Aitu Takes a Holiday" | TV Show Recaps | 9/22/2006
    Hands down, this was the funniest tribal council ever on Survivor. It was like watching group therapy. Between Billy and "Mr. Bully's" fight, and Billy's declaration of love for Candace, I'm not sure what I laughed at more. It was tears-in-my-eyes laughter. I'll make a declaration of my own: I love Jeff Probst. He is the best reality-show host out there, with Phil Keoghan of The Amazing Race a close second. While everyone else was laughing and/or rolling their eyes at Billy, Jeff managed to... read more
  • September 14, 2006: Survivor Confidential | TV Show Recaps | 9/15/2006
    I don't know if you've heard, but there's been some talk about this season of Survivor. Something about its being controversial. Set in the South Pacific's Cook Islands, this season's castaways have been divided into four tribes based on ethnicity and race ? black, white, Asian and Latino. Some think this is an outrageous stunt, an obvious ploy to raise the show's dwindling ratings. However, host Jeff Probst has been vocal about classifying the show as a "social experiment." So with lab coat... read more
  • The (Rest of the) Tribe Has Spoken | Today's News: Our Take | 12/19/2005
    To be crowned the winner of Survivor: Guatemala, Danni Boatwright had to beat out Cindy Hall, Lydia Morales, Rafe Judkins and, last but not least, Stephenie LaGrossa. What did the four runners-up think of their own Survivor stints? TVGuide.com caught up with the, um, "not-winners" to discuss their most memorable jungle moments. Stephenie LaGrossa — Runner-upTVGuide.com: At the finale, when you saw a vote for you, did you think you might have a chance? No. I was thinking, I... read more
  • Survivor's Sports Fan Wins the Big One! | Today's News: Our Take | 12/15/2005
    After making it through 39 days in the Guatemalan jungle and outwitting, outplaying and outlasting her 17 other competitors, on Sunday night Danni Boatwright was crowned the champion of Survivor: Guatemala. The 30-year-old Kansas City sports-radio announcer won by a landslide over Stephenie, who only received one out of the seven votes cast. TVGuide.com spoke to Danni the day after her win to find out how she managed to make it through without lying too much — and why she didn't bust... read more
  • Survivor: Guatemala — The Maya... | Today's News: Our Take | 12/12/2005
    Survivor: Guatemala — The Maya EmpireDanni won! Yay! She made the right decision by taking Stephenie to the final two instead of Rafe. I think it would have been a much closer vote if she had chosen to go the other way. Plus, she looks amazing now that she's not all emaciated. Let's go over some stats:- 22 minutes: How late the show was in starting tonight, and how late it ran past 11 pm. - 3: The amount of times you can air one commercial during one normal-length break. Seriously — they... read more
  • Survivor's Judd Gets 'Bagged | Today's News: Our Take | 12/8/2005
    For more famous last words from reality stars who fell short of making the final round, read our Insider Q&A with The Apprentice's Alla and Felisha! On last week's Survivor: Guatemala, Judd Sergeant IV saw the doorway to a million dollars close in his face when his alliance mates decided to pull a switcheroo and evict him. The 34-year-old Ridgefield, N.J., hotel doorman didn't exactly take his torch-snuffing well, calling the five remaining players "scumbags" and then expressing... read more
  • Survivor's Quarterback Gets Sacked | Today's News: Our Take | 12/1/2005
    While most of us were stuffing our faces on Thanksgiving, Survivor: Guatemala's Gary Hogeboom was sitting at home with his family watching his torch get snuffed. The former NFL player — who lied throughout the game about his pro career by claiming he was Gary "Hawkins" — finally fell to the dominant alliance of remaining players. The 46-year-old called TVGuide.com after the holidays to discuss his rapid weight loss and why he decided to fib in the first place.... read more
  • Survivor's Jamie Gets Blindsided | Today's News: Our Take | 11/24/2005
    With little to no warning last week on Survivor: Guatemala, the dominant alliance decided against following their original plan to vote off Gary and instead voted off one of their own. Water-ski instructor Jamie Newton was the one whose torch was snuffed after his tribe mates decided that his paranoia was starting to drive them crazy. So surprised was Jamie that he shouted, "Blindsided, nice!" when Jeff Probst read off the deciding ballot. TVGuide.com caught up with the affable 24-year-old... read more
  • Survivor: Guatemala — The Maya... | Today's News: Our Take | 11/18/2005
    Survivor: Guatemala — The Maya Empire Finally the show managed to break out of its predictable rut of the former Yaxhas eliminating their competition one by one. Instead they voted out one of their own — Jamie. Even he seemed excited by the twist of fate — "blindsided... nice! Now that's how you vote somebody out." True words, Jamie, true words. And a good reaction considering how he had seemed so paranoid that someone was going to take him out. Loved the mud task — and that the... read more
